3."No," Mama Lil said it plain and simple. "I ain't never heard of no girls to be doing that.Bebe,you need to be getting yourself a real summer job,something civilized."
I'd been living with Mama Lil since I was six,when my own mama and daddy were killed in an apartment building fire.Lillian Johns was my mom's mother.Everybody on our street called her Mama Lil and that was what I called her too.I had been butting heads with her ever since I could remember.And the older I got,the more at odds we were and the more conflicts we experienced.
For weeks I'd been asking Mama Lil to let me join the youth renovation(修缮)team.It was a group of kids who had been chosen by city officials to work with engineers to help repair the Brooklyn Bridge.The project would last the summer and pay good money.It would help me get to college,where I wanted to study engineering.
But for Mama Lil,the thing that made her the most stubborn this time,was exactly my dream of becoming an engjye.aieer.In some respects,Mama Lil was right.It was true that there weren't many black women engineers.But I wanted to build bridges more than anything.
"Let me go,Mama Lil," I begged softly.
Mama Lil sat as still as a statue. "Mama Lil," I said carefully, "if you don't sign the bridge project permission form,I will sign it myself.Nobody will know the difference."
The next morning,Mama Lil's eyes looked red-tired. "I'm going to the bridge," I said firmly. "I know,Bebe," she said.From her housedress pocket,she took out a pen and signed the form. "Bebe,that bridge is lucky to have you," she said.
I hugged Mama Lil good and hard,smiling big,right at her.
…
Ahead,in the distance,stood the Brooklyn Bridge.This was the best spot to see the bridge.I'd come to this corner and studied the bridge a million times.And on every one of those times,I was taken with what I'd come to call Brooklyn Belle.
At night,Belle was dressed in tiny light.On a cloudless night like this one,she was a sight like no other in the whole city.Jeweled in light.Beautiful.
I had drawn Belle in the high-noon light,at sunset,on snowy days,and on foggy twilight mornings...I was proud of my drawings,but with each page they showed a sad truth about Belle:She needed repair.That bridge renovation project needed me;and I needed it,in more ways than I could count.
(1)Mama Lil refused to sign the permission form mainly because
A.she had become stubborn in her old age
B.she wouldn't allow Bebe to have a summer job
C.she thought the bridge project was too dangerous
D.she didn't support Bebe's desire to be an engineer
(2)What can we learn from the story?
A.Bebe lost her parents in the bridge project.
B.Bebe liked to draw the bridge on winter mornings.
C.Bebe and Mama Lil often got into arguments with each other.
D.Bebe called her grandma Mama Lil because she was her mom's mother.
(3)By mentioning the name "Brooklyn Belle",the author intends to help readers
A.recall the history of the bridge
B.appreciate the bridge's beauty
C.ignore the damage to the bridge
D.imagine the bridge's future look
(4)Which of the following could be the theme of this story?
A.Dreams know no color or gender.
B.Elders always make the best decisions.
C.Conflict usually resolves itself in the end.
D.Pride wins out but makes things more difficult.组卷:23引用:2难度:0.5

8.From the cheeky sound of a whoopee cushion to a spring-loaded spider rocketing from a glass,pranks(恶作剧) are a popular way of making fun of others and getting a laugh.While some experts point out potential negatives,pranking can also decrease stress,raise a smile,and strengthen relationships.
It's little wonder that best-selling children's author Matt Stanton has shaped his latest book around pranks for young jokesters.Part of his Funny Kid book series,Prank Aliens,is about a boy named Max who is searching for the greatest prank of all time.Stanton said that pranking in the home can build strong relationships between parents and kids.
"Some of the best relationship-building moments I have with my own kids are when I enter into their space," Stanton said. "An adult joining in their games can be surprising for kids and bring wonderful moments of joy.It's a great way to demonstrate to our kids that we can laugh at ourselves and still feel loved and secure," he added.
But playing tricks can come with unintended consequences,said psychiatrist Mark Cross.Pranks that are intended to harm or embarrass can anger the target and even ruin a relationship.However,Cross also added "Pranking can be good when the outcome is laughter for everyone,including the pranked person.It can be a great release of stress.When you laugh,you breathe deeper,which helps ease anxiety."
So why not try some pranks?Wrapping vegetables and shoes up as presents for kids on their birthdays always gets a great reaction.Putting plastic spiders in guests' drinks or placing a whoopee cushion on an unsuspecting person's chair is sure to cause a belly laugh.All these might just be good for you and everyone involved.
(1)What are the benefits of pranking?
(2)When can pranks anger the target or even ruin a relationship?
(3)Please decide which part is false in the following statement,then underline it and explain why.
Pranking is good when everyone laughs at the pranked person,since laughter releases stress.
(4)In addition to pranking,what other ways can you use to strengthen relationships with family members? (In about 40 words)组卷:32引用:4难度:0.4
