外研版（2019）必修第一册《Unit 3 Family matters》2023年同步练习卷

一、阅读理解

• 1．I'd like to share a little story with you about something that happened when I was four．I remember it clearly．Our loving family dog was nearing the end of his life．My father picked him up and put him in a little bed we had made for him．Our dog，my companion，whom we had cared for，bit my father when he attempted to help him．How could he？Why？I couldn't understand it．I didn't like him anymore．
     I hadn't thought about that story for a long time but something that happened last week brought it back to me．I went to speak with a friend．When I knocked on the door，I met in an instant an angry look and a few harsh（尖刻的）words．When the door was slammed（砰地关上）in my face，I stood there shocked，and in a rush，I was reminded of my dog bit my father 20 years ago or so．What brought that story back was that same feeling of betrayal．
     Both stories taught me something the next day．You see，when I got up in the morning and was told my dog had died，it became clear to me that he must have been in great pain．For him to have bitten a family member，he could not have been himself．Much the same for the other story when I learned that my friend's wife had just left him．
     We are all beings of our environments，our opinions and feelings．And all of those things can cause you to say and do things that can't be understood by those who are not in the same situation with you．
     If you meet someone either behaving out of character or acting in a way that doesn't seem to fit the situation，put out your hand and be patient when you think it is least possible for him to do so．You may turn around a story that has a sad ending simply by your actions．

  A．It hurt his father's feeling deeply．
  B．It has puzzled the author ever since．
  C．It left a deep impression on the author．

  A．He was ill-tempered．
  B．He was suffering the pain of losing his wife．

• 2．They were a happy family：four daughters all in the same school in different grades.The youngest，Janice，who was in my class，seemed to be glued（粘）to her mother's skirts.The three older girls took the bus to school every morning，but Janice was always driven to school by her mother.
     One Friday，Janice's mother asked for a chat with me.She said in a soft voice，"My husband is going to Europe on business for two weeks，and he insists that I go with him.I have tried to explain over and over that Janice needs me here.But he thinks that she will be fine without me so I have no option；I have to go.I have told the babysitter to drive her every morning.Will you please give Janice special attention and help her？I want to be sure everything goes well for her."
     I told her that we would make every effort to support Janice.I even volunteered to meet Janice at her car so she would see a familiar face.As a mother myself，I'd like to help.Janice's mother thanked me for my understanding.
     On Monday morning，expecting a tearful，anxious child，I planned a special program of fun and games.I waited outside to greet Janice，but just then the bus arrived and not three，but four girls got off.Janice skipped along joyfully，saying "goodbye" to her sisters as she ran with two friends into the classroom.I walked slowly into the classroom and called Janice over to ask how the bus ride went.Impatiently she said，"Oh，I always want to take the bus with the other kids，but Mother needs to be with me.You see there won't be any more babies，so I have to be a baby a little longer.While she is away，I'll just ride the bus every day.I am five，you know."
