She was a four-year-old girl with very fine golden hair when I first met her．She was carrying a bowl of 1 ．I was 29 at the time and suffering  from the flu．

Her mom and I had been friends for many years．Finally that friendship grew into care，from care into2and marriage．Marriage brought the three of us together as a 3 ．At first，I was afraid to be a“stepfather”.Therefore，I tried not to come between my future daughter and her 4 father．I acted in that way in order to be liked．However，5she was growing up, I found it increasingly hard to6with her．

Once her school required every parent to write an open and 7letter to the children．I wrote a letter about a little golden-haired girl who had brought me a bowl of soup when I needed 8．

A week later，all the parents got together with our children in a classroom．The students were allowed to make a few speeches．I was9to hear what my daughter would say．

Finally，my daughter determinedly10her way up to the microphone．She said something like others and then11 ."There are people and things we sometimes take for granted that we shouldn't，at this very moment，I just want to say…I love you，father．”

Immediately people around me started 12at me，and patting me on the back as though they also understood the depth of that unusual speech．For a teenage girl to say 13in the front of a room full of people，“I love you”，took a great deal of courage．Since then I have come  to understand that I didn't need to have any14about being a stepfather．I can still15honest love with the same little girl I met so many years before-carrying a bowl full of what turned out to be kindness．I can also be friends with the girl-my dear daughter．

A gentle breeze blew through Jennifer’s hair. The golden red sun was setting. She was on the beach, looking up at the fiery (火红的) ball. She was amazed by its color, deep red in the middle, softly fading into yellow. She could hear nothing but the waves and the seagulls flying up above in the sky.

The atmosphere relaxed her. After all she had been through, this was what she needed. “It’s getting late,” she thought, “I must go home. My parents will be wondering where I am.”

She wondered how her parents would react, when she got home after the three missing-day. She kept on walking, directing herself where she spent so many happy days with her family. The road was deserted. She walked slowly and silently. Just in a few hundred meters she would have been safe in her house.

It was really getting dark now. The sun had set a few minutes before and it was getting cold, too. She wished she had her favorite sweater on — it kept her really warm. She imagined having it with her. This thought disappeared when she finally saw her front door. It seemed different. Nobody had taken care of the outside garden for a few days. She was shocked: her father was usually so strict about keeping everything clean and tidy, and now... . It all seemed deserted. She couldn’t understand what was going on.

She entered the house. First, she went into the kitchen where she saw a note written by her father. It said, “Dear Ellen, there is some coffee ready. I went looking.” Ellen was her mother but — where was she? On the right side of the hallway was her parents’ room. She went in. Then she saw her mother, lying on the bed, was sleeping. Her face looked so tired, as if she hadn’t slept for days. She was really pale. Jennifer would have wanted to wake her up but she looked too tired. So Jennifer just fell asleep beside her. When Jennifer woke up, something was different... she wasn’t in her mother’s room and she wasn’t wearing the old clothes she ran away in. She was in her snug bed in her pajamas (睡衣).

It felt so good being back home. Suddenly she heard a voice, “Are you feeling better now, dear? You know you got us very, very scared.”

1.What does “This thought” in the fourth paragraph refer to?

A. The idea of going back home soon      B. The anxiety about her worried parents.

C. The feeling of being warm in her sweater.     D. The hope of getting back home safely.

2.How did Jennifer probably feel when she came back home?

a. worried  b. crazy    c. tired        d. disappointed  e. astonished      f. excited

A. a, b, c           B. a, c, e              C. b, c, e             D. d, e, f

3.The underlined word “snug” in the last paragraph means ______.

A. clean and tidy    B. nice and expensive  C. small and old        D. warm and comfortable

4.What can be concluded from this passage?

A. In fact, Jennifer’s mother had been slept for several days.

B. As Jennifer walked towards home, she became increasingly scared.

C. When she found the garden deserted, she realized she got cross.

D. Having experienced a lot outside, Jennifer felt home warm and safe.
