第二部分：阅读理解（共两节，满分50分）
第一节 阅读下列短文，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
A
When I was a foreign teacher in China, every day I taught English to my students and they taught me about China. One day the topic turned to saying “I love you”. I was shocked to learn that no one of my students had said this to their mothers, nor had their mothers said it to them. “Does your mom love you ” “Of course,” they answered.
“How do you know ” was my logical question. They answered that their moms cooked and always told them what they were doing wrong to show their caring. I was surprised. “So mom’s cooking and criticizing read out as ‘I love you’ Then how do you say ‘I love you’ to her ” They agreed that getting good grades, followed by good jobs would be how they showed their love.
I come from a country where most people are expressive enough, so I repeated these questions in classes over time. Gradually, I began to get different response. Some of them had exchanged those feelings with their moms.
One of my favorite stories of change came from a girl. When she came home from university, her mother met her at the door and hugged (拥抱) her. This had never happened before, but her mom said, “Now that you have gone, I have more time to myself. I noticed that in some places mothers and children hug each other and I decided it was a good idea and that I would begin hugging you.”
In my family we all say “I love you” a lot. While it is true that we often say the words without having great depth (深度) of feelings at that moment, it is almost like a blessing (祝福语) we give each other. Those three little words carry a world of meaning, even when said as a greeting, but most especially if they are the last words we say to or hear from those we love.
1. Chinese people prefer to show love by________.
A. buying gifts B. hugging each other
C. saying “I love you” D. doing something meaningful
2. In paragraph 4, what’s the real meaning of the mom’s hugging
A. She loves her daughter and misses her. B. She is meeting her daughter at the door.
C. She finds it interesting to hug her daughter. D. She is glad that she has more time to herself.
3. What’s the main idea of the passage
A. Say “I love you” more to your family. B. Say “I love you” as a greeting to others.
C. Say “I love you” a lot to Chinese people. D. Say “I love you” without great depth of feelings.
【答案】1. D 2. A 3. A
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章主要说明了作者在中国当外教时发现，中国父母和孩子不应该表达对彼此的爱，而是通过做一些有意义的事情，作者建议多和家人表达爱意。
【1题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段“They answered that their moms cooked and always told them what they were doing wrong to show their caring. I was surprised. “So mom’s cooking and criticizing read out as ‘I love you’ Then how do you say ‘I love you’ to her ” They agreed that getting good grades, followed by good jobs would be how they showed their love.(他们回答说，他们的妈妈做饭，总是告诉他们做错了什么，以表示他们的关心。我很惊讶。“所以妈妈的烹饪和批评被解读为‘我爱你’？那你怎么对她说‘我爱你’呢？”他们一致认为，取得好成绩，然后找到好工作是他们表达爱的方式)”可推知，中国人喜欢通过做一些有意义的事情来表达爱。故选D。
【2题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段“When she came home from university, her mother met her at the door and hugged (拥抱) her. This had never happened before, but her mom said, “Now that you have gone, I have more time to myself. I noticed that in some places mothers and children hug each other and I decided it was a good idea and that I would begin hugging you.”(当她从大学回家时，她妈妈在门口迎接她并拥抱了她。这种情况以前从未发生过，但她的妈妈说：“你走了以后，我有更多的时间属于自己。我注意到有些地方妈妈和孩子会互相拥抱，于是我觉得这是个好主意，我也会开始拥抱你。”)”可知，在第四段中，女儿从大学回到家，妈妈出于想念和爱，拥抱了女人，所以母亲拥抱的真正含义是她爱她的女儿，想念她。故选A。
【3题详解】
主旨大意题。根据最后一段“In my family we all say “I love you” a lot. While it is true that we often say the words without having great depth (深度) of feelings at that moment, it is almost like a blessing (祝福语) we give each other. Those three little words carry a world of meaning, even when said as a greeting, but most especially if they are the last words we say to or hear from those we love.(在我家，我们都经常说“我爱你”。虽然我们经常说的话在那一刻没有很深的感情是事实，这几乎就像我们给对方的祝福。即使是作为问候，这三个小字也意味深长，尤其是当它们是我们对所爱的人说的最后一句话或听到的最后一句话时)”结合文章主要说明了作者在中国当外教时发现，中国父母和孩子不应该表达对彼此的爱，而是通过做一些有意义的事情，作者建议多和家人表达爱意。可知，这篇文章的主旨是对家人多说“我爱你”。故选A。
B
One day when I was 5, my mother scolded (责骂) me for not finishing my breakfast and I got angry. I wanted to play outside and not to be made to finish eating my breakfast. When angrily opening the screen door with my foot, I kicked back about a 12-inch part of the lower left hand corner of the new screen door. But I had no remorse, for I was happy to be playing in the backyard with my toys.
Today, I know if my child had done what I did, I would have scolded my child, and told him about how expensive this new screen door was, and I would have delivered a spanking (打屁股) for it. My parents never said a word. They left the corner of the screen door pushed out, creating an opening, a breach (裂缝) in the defense against unwanted insects.
For years, every time I saw that corner of the screen, it would constantly make me think about my mistake. For years, I knew that everyone in my family would see that hole and remember who did it. For years, every time I saw a fly buzzing (嗡嗡) in the kitchen, I would wonder if it came in through the hole that I had created with my angry foot. I would wonder if my family members were thinking the same thing, silently blaming me every time a flying insect entered our home, making life more terrible for us all. My parents taught me a valuable lesson, one that a spanking or stern (严厉的) words perhaps could not deliver. Their silent punishment for what I had done delivered a hundred stern messages to me. Above all, it has helped me become a more patient person and not burst out so easily.
4. When the author damaged the door, his parents ________.
A. gave him a spanking
B. left the door unrepaired
C. scolded him for what he had done
D. told him how expensive it was
5. The underlined word “remorse” in Paragraph 1 most probably means________.
A. regret B. joy C. anger D. notice
6. The experience may cause the author ________.
A. to hide his anger away from others
B. not to go against his parents’ will
C. to have a better control of himself
D. not to make mistakes in the future
7. What is the main idea of this text
A. Adults should ignore their children’s bad behavior.
B. Parents are the best teachers of their children.
C. Patience is the key to becoming a better person.
D. One learns most when shown the result of his/her action.
【答案】4. B 5. A 6. C 7. D
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇夹叙夹议文。讲述作者犯错误，父母没有惩罚他，而是留着被他踢破的门，让作者懂得了道理，成为了一个更有耐心的人的故事。
【4题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段第一句“For years, every time I saw that corner of the screen, it would constantly make me think about my mistake. (多年来，每当我看到沙门的那个角落，我都会不停地想我的错误。)”，可知，他父母没修门，踢坏的地方一直是坏的。故选B项。
【5题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第一段划线句后半部分“for I was happy to be playing in the backyard with my toys (因为我很高兴在后院玩我的玩具)”，可知，他没有后悔，反而高兴地玩玩具。故选A项。
【6题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章最后一句“Above all, it has helped me become a more patient person and not burst out so easily. (最重要的是，最重要的是，它帮助我变得更耐心，不再那么容易爆发。)”，可知，成为更有耐心的人，不轻易爆发，言外之意就是作者变得能更好地控制自己。故选C项。
【7题详解】
主旨大意题。根据最后一段倒数一二句“Their silent punishment for what I had done delivered a hundred stern messages to me. Above all, it has helped me become a more patient person and not burst out so easily. (他们对我所做的默默惩罚向我传递了一百条严厉的信息。最重要的是，它帮助我变得更耐心，不再那么容易爆发。)”，可知，本文主要通过自己毁坏了门，父母别致的惩罚使他吸取教训，变成了更耐心的人。这告诉了读者一个道理：要从错误中吸取教训。故选D项。
C
Grown-ups are often surprised by how well they remember something they learned as children but have never practiced ever since. A man who has not had a chance to go swimming for years can still swim as well as ever when he gets back in the water. He can get on a bicycle after many years and still ride away. He can play, catch and hit a ball as well as his son. A mother who has not thought about the words for years can teach her daughter the poem that begins “Twinkle, twinkle, little star” or remember the story of Cinderella or Goldilocks and the Three Bears.
One explanation is the law of overlearning, which can be stated as follows: Once we have learned something, extra learning trials (尝试) increase the length of time we will remember it.
In childhood we usually continue to practice such skills as swimming, bicycle riding, and playing baseball long after we have learned them. We continue to listen to and remind ourselves of words such as “Twinkle, twinkle, little star” and childhood tales such as Cinderella and Goldilocks. We not only learn but overlearn.
The multiplication tables (乘法口诀表) are an exception (例外) to the general rule that we forget rather quickly the things that we learn in school, because they are another of the things we overlearn in childhood.
The law of overlearning explains why cramming (突击学习) for an examination, though it may result in a passing grade, is not a satisfactory way to learn a college course. By cramming, a student may learn the subject well enough to get by on the examination, but he is likely soon to forget almost everything he learned. A little overlearning, on the other hand, is really necessary for one’s future development.
8. What is the main idea of Paragraph 1
A. People remember well what they learned in childhood.
B. Children have a better memory than grown-ups.
C. Poem reading is a good way to learn words.
D. Stories for children are easy to remember.
9. The author explains the law of overlearning by ________.
A. presenting research findings
B. setting down general rules
C. making a comparison
D. using examples
10. What does the word “they” in Paragraph 4 refer to
A. Commonly accepted rules.
B. The multiplication tables.
C. Things easily forgotten.
D. School subjects.
11. What is the author’s opinion on cramming
A. It’s helpful only in a limited way.
B. It leads to failure in college exams.
C. It’s possible to result in poor memory.
D. It increases students’ learning interest.
【答案】8. A 9. D 10. B 11. A
【解析】
【分析】本文是一篇议论文，本文主要讲述了过度学习，并列举了多个有关的事例来证明过度学习的学习效果和作用。
【8题详解】
主旨大意题。根据本段第一句"Grown-ups are often surprised by how well they remember something they learned as children but have never practiced ever since．"可知，本段讲述的是人们经常能够记住我们小时候所学的内容，接下来还举了另外几个例子来说明。故选A。
【9题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段"In childhood we usually continue to practice such skills as swimming，bicycle riding，and playing baseball long after we have learned them（在童年时代，我们通常会在学会游泳、骑自行车和打棒球等技能后很长时间内继续练习）"可知作者是通过举例说明的方法来解释过度学习的原理的，故选D。
【10题详解】
词义猜测题。根据上文"The multiplication tables（乘法口诀表）are an exception to the general rule that we forget rather quickly the things that we learn in school，because they are another of the things we over learn in childhood"可知，乘法口诀也是过度学习的一个结果，因此这里"they是指代"乘法口诀表"，故选B。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章最后一段The law of overlearning explains why cramming for an examination, though it may result in a passing grade, is not a satisfactory way to learn a college course. By cramming, a student may learn the subject well enough to get by on the examination, but he is likely soon to forget almost everything he learned.（过度学习的法则解释了为什么为了考试而死记硬背，虽然可能会导致及格，却不是一种令人满意的学习大学课程的方法。通过死记硬背，一个学生可能把这门课学得足够好，可以通过考试，但他很可能很快就会忘记他所学的几乎所有东西。）可知作者认为突击学习的效果只能延续很短的时间，所以说只在有限的方面起作用,故选A。
D
A handsome man can earn a fifth more than a plainer colleague (同事) but a beautiful woman is not paid a penny more than her average-looking colleague, new research has shown.
The study by senior economists (经济学家) found that being good-looking meant male workers could earn 22 percent more than average-looking colleagues. Researchers said good looks did not give women a similar advantage.
Andrew Leigh, the former economics professor at the Australian National University who co-authored the report, said: “Beauty can be a double-edged sword for women.”
“Some people still believe good looks and intelligence (智慧) are incompatible (矛盾的) in women so a good-looking woman can’t be that productive, but it doesn’t affect men’s pay.”
He said that although he believed good-looking women may also earn more, the research did not support his theory.
The research found that handsome men in all jobs, from manual labour to highly-paid professional careers, can earn 22 percent more than their colleagues doing the same work.
Men with below-average looks face a battle in the office, with ugliness reducing a man’s earnings by 26 percent compared to an average-looking worker.
Former male model Ian Mitchell, 28, who has a first class degree in history from Edinburgh University and now works for a cosmetics (化妆品) company, told the Sunday Times: “It gives you confidence, and I suspect people tend to warm to you more quickly.”
The study, named Unpacking the Beauty Premium, was the largest exercise of its kind and repeated a survey from 1984 to see if the beauty premium had changed.
Leigh said the research showed people in the workplace were “lookist (以貌取人的) ” and he hoped the findings would encourage employers to remove their prejudice(偏见).
12. What has the research found
A. Handsome men have an advantage in their jobs.
B. Appearance plays an important role at work.
C. Male workers pay more attention to their appearance.
D. The more beautiful a female is, the lower their intelligence is.
13. Through the research, Andrew Leigh learned that ________.
A. beauty is a double-edged sword for workers
B. good-looking females are likely to earn more
C. employers have prejudice in employing workers
D. more attention is paid to appearance now than before
14. We can learn from the text that men who are below average in appearance ________.
A. earn 26% less than handsome men
B. earn 26% less than average-looking men
C. earn as much as average-looking men
D. earn 22% less than average-looking men
15. What is the main idea of the text
A. Good-looking men are more likely to earn more.
B. Men and women should be treated equally in interviews.
C. People should pay more attention to their appearance.
D. Beautiful female interviewees aren’t popular in interviews.
【答案】12. A 13. C 14. B 15. A
【解析】
【分析】本文是一篇说明文，文章介绍了一项调查，结果显示在职场中外貌出众的男性挣钱更多，然而长得漂亮的女性并不被认可。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段第一句“The study by senior economists (经济学家) found that being good-looking meant male workers could earn 22 percent more than average-looking colleagues.”可知，长得好看的男性在工作中挣钱更多，有很大的优势。故A项正确。
【13题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段“Some people still believe good looks and intelligence (智慧) are incompatible(矛盾的) in women so a good-looking woman can’t be that productive, but it doesn’t affect men’s pay.”和第五段He said that although he believed good-looking women may also earn more, the research did not support his theory.可知，现在很多人仍然认为女性的智慧和外貌是相互矛盾的，老板在雇佣员工的时候有偏见。故C项正确。
【14题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第六段“Men with below-average looks face a battle in the office, with ugliness reducing a man’s earnings by 26 percent compared to an average-looking worker.”可知，长得丑陋的员工比普通长相的员工少挣26%，故B项正确。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。本文是一篇说明文，文章介绍了一项调查，结果显示在职场中外貌出众的男性挣钱更多，然而长得漂亮的女性并不被认可。文章并没有提及在面试中要公平对待所有人的内容，没有涉及人们要更关注外貌以及漂亮的女性在面试中不受欢迎的内容。故A项正确。

57. 阅读下面短文，根据所给情节进行续写，使之构成一个完整的故事。
A Pleasant Surprise
For a long time, I had been longing for a piano of my own to practice on.
There was a piano shop on the street through which I went to school every day. Whenever I passed the shop I would stop, looking at the beautiful piano which stood in the corner of the shop window. How I had been dreaming day and night to possess a piano like that!
Unfortunately, Father was just a clerk. Times were tough during the Depression, and there were five mouths to feed, besides buying coal and wood for the stove. In order to lay aside some money, on cold winter days Father walked 7 miles every day to get to work. No, he couldn’t afford to buy me an expensive piano—such an extravagance (奢侈品), though he knew that I was very anxious for one as a gift.
On my birthday, after school I went as usual to the shop window to look at the piano, but to my surprise the piano had gone. In fact, I should not have been surprised, others had the right to buy it, if they could afford to. Tears filled my eyes when I thought of not being able to see that piano any more.
Disappointed, helpless and sad, I wandered aimlessly up and down the street. About an hour later, I had just entered into our house, when I heard my mother calling me. I brushed away my tears and went into the dining-room where she was.
I could not believe my eyes.
_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】范文
I could not believe my eyes. The piano I had worshipped many a time at the shop window stood before me. I kept rubbing my eyes, unable to believe it. Mother told me it was for me from father. Having noticed me appreciate the piano several times, father determined to make my dream come true. He took several odd jobs in his spare time, constantly working deep into the night. With all the family savings and the extra money earned, father managed to purchase the piano as my birthday gift. I couldn’t hold back my tears, thinking of the pains and struggles father went through. Determined never to let father down, I put all my heart into the practice and now as a famous pianist, I tour all over the world giving concerts. But I still keep my first piano in my living room, which reminds me of father’s unconditional and selfless love.

第二部分：阅读理解（共两节，满分50分）
第一节 阅读下列短文，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
A
When I was a foreign teacher in China, every day I taught English to my students and they taught me about China. One day the topic turned to saying “I love you”. I was shocked to learn that no one of my students had said this to their mothers, nor had their mothers said it to them. “Does your mom love you ” “Of course,” they answered.
“How do you know ” was my logical question. They answered that their moms cooked and always told them what they were doing wrong to show their caring. I was surprised. “So mom’s cooking and criticizing read out as ‘I love you’ Then how do you say ‘I love you’ to her ” They agreed that getting good grades, followed by good jobs would be how they showed their love.
I come from a country where most people are expressive enough, so I repeated these questions in classes over time. Gradually, I began to get different response. Some of them had exchanged those feelings with their moms.
One of my favorite stories of change came from a girl. When she came home from university, her mother met her at the door and hugged (拥抱) her. This had never happened before, but her mom said, “Now that you have gone, I have more time to myself. I noticed that in some places mothers and children hug each other and I decided it was a good idea and that I would begin hugging you.”
In my family we all say “I love you” a lot. While it is true that we often say the words without having great depth (深度) of feelings at that moment, it is almost like a blessing (祝福语) we give each other. Those three little words carry a world of meaning, even when said as a greeting, but most especially if they are the last words we say to or hear from those we love.
1. Chinese people prefer to show love by________.
A. buying gifts B. hugging each other
C. saying “I love you” D. doing something meaningful
2. In paragraph 4, what’s the real meaning of the mom’s hugging
A. She loves her daughter and misses her. B. She is meeting her daughter at the door.
C. She finds it interesting to hug her daughter. D. She is glad that she has more time to herself.
3. What’s the main idea of the passage
A. Say “I love you” more to your family. B. Say “I love you” as a greeting to others.
C. Say “I love you” a lot to Chinese people. D. Say “I love you” without great depth of feelings.
B
One day when I was 5, my mother scolded (责骂) me for not finishing my breakfast and I got angry. I wanted to play outside and not to be made to finish eating my breakfast. When angrily opening the screen door with my foot, I kicked back about a 12-inch part of the lower left hand corner of the new screen door. But I had no remorse, for I was happy to be playing in the backyard with my toys.
Today, I know if my child had done what I did, I would have scolded my child, and told him about how expensive this new screen door was, and I would have delivered a spanking (打屁股) for it. My parents never said a word. They left the corner of the screen door pushed out, creating an opening, a breach (裂缝) in the defense against unwanted insects.
For years, every time I saw that corner of the screen, it would constantly make me think about my mistake. For years, I knew that everyone in my family would see that hole and remember who did it. For years, every time I saw a fly buzzing (嗡嗡) in the kitchen, I would wonder if it came in through the hole that I had created with my angry foot. I would wonder if my family members were thinking the same thing, silently blaming me every time a flying insect entered our home, making life more terrible for us all. My parents taught me a valuable lesson, one that a spanking or stern (严厉的) words perhaps could not deliver. Their silent punishment for what I had done delivered a hundred stern messages to me. Above all, it has helped me become a more patient person and not burst out so easily.
4. When the author damaged the door, his parents ________.
A. gave him a spanking
B. left the door unrepaired
C. scolded him for what he had done
D. told him how expensive it was
5 The underlined word “remorse” in Paragraph 1 most probably means________.
A. regret B. joy C. anger D. notice
6. The experience may cause the author ________.
A. to hide his anger away from others
B. not to go against his parents’ will
C. to have a better control of himself
D. not to make mistakes in the future
7. What is the main idea of this text
A Adults should ignore their children’s bad behavior.
B. Parents are the best teachers of their children.
C. Patience is the key to becoming a better person.
D. One learns most when shown the result of his/her action.
C
Grown-ups are often surprised by how well they remember something they learned as children but have never practiced ever since. A man who has not had a chance to go swimming for years can still swim as well as ever when he gets back in the water. He can get on a bicycle after many years and still ride away. He can play, catch and hit a ball as well as his son. A mother who has not thought about the words for years can teach her daughter the poem that begins “Twinkle, twinkle, little star” or remember the story of Cinderella or Goldilocks and the Three Bears.
One explanation is the law of overlearning, which can be stated as follows: Once we have learned something, extra learning trials (尝试) increase the length of time we will remember it.
In childhood we usually continue to practice such skills as swimming, bicycle riding, and playing baseball long after we have learned them. We continue to listen to and remind ourselves of words such as “Twinkle, twinkle, little star” and childhood tales such as Cinderella and Goldilocks. We not only learn but overlearn.
The multiplication tables (乘法口诀表) are an exception (例外) to the general rule that we forget rather quickly the things that we learn in school, because they are another of the things we overlearn in childhood.
The law of overlearning explains why cramming (突击学习) for an examination, though it may result in a passing grade, is not a satisfactory way to learn a college course. By cramming, a student may learn the subject well enough to get by on the examination, but he is likely soon to forget almost everything he learned. A little overlearning, on the other hand, is really necessary for one’s future development.
8. What is the main idea of Paragraph 1
A. People remember well what they learned in childhood.
B. Children have a better memory than grown-ups.
C. Poem reading is a good way to learn words.
D. Stories for children are easy to remember.
9. The author explains the law of overlearning by ________.
A. presenting research findings
B. setting down general rules
C. making a comparison
D. using examples
10. What does the word “they” in Paragraph 4 refer to
A. Commonly accepted rules.
B. The multiplication tables.
C. Things easily forgotten.
D. School subjects.
11. What is the author’s opinion on cramming
A. It’s helpful only in a limited way.
B. It leads to failure in college exams.
C. It’s possible to result in poor memory.
D. It increases students’ learning interest.
D
A handsome man can earn a fifth more than a plainer colleague (同事) but a beautiful woman is not paid a penny more than her average-looking colleague, new research has shown.
The study by senior economists (经济学家) found that being good-looking meant male workers could earn 22 percent more than average-looking colleagues. Researchers said good looks did not give women a similar advantage.
Andrew Leigh, the former economics professor at the Australian National University who co-authored the report, said: “Beauty can be a double-edged sword for women.”
“Some people still believe good looks and intelligence (智慧) are incompatible (矛盾的) in women so a good-looking woman can’t be that productive, but it doesn’t affect men’s pay.”
He said that although he believed good-looking women may also earn more, the research did not support his theory.
The research found that handsome men in all jobs, from manual labour to highly-paid professional careers, can earn 22 percent more than their colleagues doing the same work.
Men with below-average looks face a battle in the office, with ugliness reducing a man’s earnings by 26 percent compared to an average-looking worker.
Former male model Ian Mitchell, 28, who has a first class degree in history from Edinburgh University and now works for a cosmetics (化妆品) company, told the Sunday Times: “It gives you confidence, and I suspect people tend to warm to you more quickly.”
The study, named Unpacking the Beauty Premium, was the largest exercise of its kind and repeated a survey from 1984 to see if the beauty premium had changed.
Leigh said the research showed people in the workplace were “lookist (以貌取人的) ” and he hoped the findings would encourage employers to remove their prejudice(偏见).
12. What has the research found
A. Handsome men have an advantage in their jobs.
B. Appearance plays an important role at work.
C. Male workers pay more attention to their appearance.
D. The more beautiful a female is, the lower their intelligence is.
13. Through the research, Andrew Leigh learned that ________.
A. beauty is a double-edged sword for workers
B. good-looking females are likely to earn more
C. employers have prejudice in employing workers
D. more attention is paid to appearance now than before
14. We can learn from the text that men who are below average in appearance ________.
A. earn 26% less than handsome men
B. earn 26% less than average-looking men
C. earn as much as average-looking men
D. earn 22% less than average-looking men

57. 阅读下面短文，根据所给情节进行续写，使之构成一个完整的故事。
A Pleasant Surprise
For a long time, I had been longing for a piano of my own to practice on.
There was a piano shop on the street through which I went to school every day. Whenever I passed the shop, I would stop, looking at the beautiful piano which stood in the corner of the shop window. How I had been dreaming day and night to possess a piano like that!
Unfortunately, Father was just a clerk. Times were tough during the Depression, and there were five mouths to feed, besides buying coal and wood for the stove. In order to lay aside some money, on cold winter days Father walked 7 miles every day to get to work. No, he couldn’t afford to buy me an expensive piano—such an extravagance (奢侈品), though he knew that I was very anxious for one as a gift.
On my birthday after school I went as usual to the shop window to look at the piano, but to my surprise the piano had gone. In fact, I should not have been surprised, others had the right to buy it, if they could afford to. Tears filled my eyes when I thought of not being able to see that piano any more.
Disappointed, helpless and sad, I wandered aimlessly up and down the street. About an hour later, I had just entered into our house, when I heard my mother calling me. I brushed away my tears and went into the dining-room where she was.
I could not believe my eyes.
