三、阅读理解
For his eleventh birthday, Lin's father gave him a gift. It would make his life meaningful. On that day, his father took him to the Children's Activity Centre and said he could choose any course (课程) that interested him but had to follow his choice. Lin would have to promise to study it for at least one year.
Lin once had many hobbies, but none kept his interest for more than a week or two. His mum once gave him a bag of stamps to encourage stamp collecting. That hobby lasted for a week. Then his father got him some paints, hoping that Lin's artistic side would shine through. Those paints were now under his bed, still unopened. This time Lin's parents would let him decide.
Lin's eyes moved down the noticeboard to choose the course. He stopped at "Photography". He liked the idea of taking beautiful pictures, but the notice said each student needed their own camera. Although Lin's family weren't poor, they weren't rich either, and a camera cost a lot of money. He continued looking.
The next course to catch his eye was "Language Art". He didn't even know what that meant. His father explained that it taught people how to make public speeches. Lin, a shy boy, could think of nothing worse.
Then he saw it. "Cooking" sounded like something he'd like to do. It was inexpensive and convenient; it could be done alone and it was also creative.
For Lin's hobby history, his dad did not believe him, but he agreed. Much to his parents' surprise, Lin kept his promise. He studied cooking at the Centre every Saturday, and practised at home, making delicious meals for his family. Everyone looked forward to birthdays, when they could eat his cakes. Lin got great satisfaction (满足感) from the pleasure his food brought to others.
The months turned to years, but his hobby never changed again.
Now Lin is an adult and runs a successful restaurant. When customers say they enjoy his meal, he still gets the same pleasure he did as a child, and remembers the special gift he received all those years ago.
1.Why didn't Lin choose to study photography
A.It was too expensive. B.He had no interest in it.
C.He was not very creative. D.He was not artistic enough.
2.The underlined expression "catch his eye" in Paragraph 4 means "________".
A.make him excited B.make him surprised
C.make him interested in D.help him see clearly
3.Which of the following best describes Lin's interest in cooking
A.It only lasted for a short time. B.It could bring him pleasure.
C.His parents ask him to do it. D.It developed slowly over many months.
4.Why didn't the father believe Lin's choice of cooking
A.Lin wasn't good at cooking. B.Cooking wasn't very convenient.
C.He didn't think Lin would continue. D.Cooking wasn't a good hobby for a boy.
5.What's the best title for the passage
A.A Strict Father B.A Happy Boy
C.The Fun of Cooking D.The Birthday Gift
