二、阅读理解
I was raised in a house where my sisters and I weren’t trusted by our mother to manage our own appearance. A few years ago, I was home for a visit when my mom, now in her early 70s, called me into her bedroom. We were ready to leave for dinner. “I don’t know what to wear,”she complained.“You girls always look so good.”
I paused in the doorway and looked at her, wondering if I’d misheard. “What do you mean ” I asked her.“You know what to wear.”“No,”she answered.“I don’t.”Can you pick some for me “I was so surprised.”
This was the same woman that, in 1989, told my younger sister she wasn’t allowed to leave the house wearing a pair of ripped(撕碎的) jeans；the same woman that, in high school, called me while I was out at a party to ask if my hair was tied up. “You look better with it down,”she told me. Before I could answer I realized, suddenly, that my mother not only wanted my opinion, but also needed it. I pulled a pair of blue jeans and a light blue sweater. “Wear this with your black shoes,”I told her. She did. My mother certainly doesn’t need anyone to take care of her. In fact, she still cares for my grandmother who lives with her. But with that question, my mother and I started the role reversal(转换) that happens to all parents and all children, from caregivers to receivers.
Now, if I’m visiting or we’re together, it’s rare for her to wear anything without checking with me first. But every so often, it seems that she asks me just to be able to disagree with my answer and pick out something on her own. And when she does. I just tell her what I think of the way she looks. Sometimes it’s“great”, and sometimes it’s “awful”.

We were ready to leave for dinner. “I don’t know what to wear,”she complained.“You girls always look so good.”
I paused in the doorway and looked at her, wondering if I’d misheard. “What do you mean ” I asked her.“You know what to wear.”“No,”she answered.“I don’t.”Can you pick some for me “I was so surprised.”
This was the same woman that, in 1989, told my younger sister she wasn’t allowed to leave the house wearing a pair of ripped(撕碎的) jeans；the same woman that, in high school, called me while I was out at a party to ask if my hair was tied up. “You look better with it down,”she told me. Before I could answer I realized, suddenly, that my mother not only wanted my opinion, but also needed it. I pulled a pair of blue jeans and a light blue sweater. “Wear this with your black shoes,”I told her. She did. My mother certainly doesn’t need anyone to take care of her. In fact, she still cares for my grandmother who lives with her. But with that question, my mother and I started the role reversal(转换) that happens to all parents and all children, from caregivers to receivers.
Now, if I’m visiting or we’re together, it’s rare for her to wear anything without checking with me first. But every so often, it seems that she asks me just to be able to disagree with my answer and pick out something on her own. And when she does. I just tell her what I think of the way she looks. Sometimes it’s“great”, and sometimes it’s “awful”.

答案
课文语法填空
1. spent。“Granny_______(spend) with us”为省略了关系代词的定语从句，修饰 last Christmas，空处在从句中作谓语，此处为过去发生的事情，应用一般过去时，故填spent。
2. telling。tell与主语I之间为逻辑上的主谓关系，故此处用现在分词作伴随状语。
3. to help。 make an effort to do sth.表示“尽力做某事”。
4. excitement。由空前的our可知，此处应用名词。 excitement表示“激动”，是不可数名词。
5.On。表示在具体的某一天晚上，应用介词on。
6.a。 music box在文中第一次出现，表示泛指，应用不定冠词a。
7.it。空处在由but连接的第二个分句中作主语，由语境可知，应用代词it，指代前面的 Lunch
8. later。“A few weeks___8___(late)”在句中作时间状语，故填副词 later。later表示“之后”。
9. magical此处为“make+宾语+宾补”结构，应用形容词 magical作宾补。
10.that。此处为强调句型，强调主语 not just gifts and Father Christmas指人和物，应填that。
