only imagine the scenery beyond the glass rather than see it? that september, i entered middle school. most nights i had homework that included an armful of books to read. to keep up with other children, i took great trouble to finish the task. with my nose a couple of inches from the page, i was tired easily. whats worse, after i had read several pages on my own, the words slipped off the page into inky pools. however, then i did not have audio books and electronic devices like kids do now. instead, mom volunteered to read out loud. mom worked part-time, cleaned the house, cooked and spent time with grandma. in spite of being so busy, she showed up in my room like clockwork. she put on her reading glasses. mom always thought those glasses made her look old. to me, she looked like a teacher.in my room, moms voice competed with the ticking of the clock. being forced to focus on listening, i found a way to keep my marks up and compete with the other kids. when the teacher asked a question, i raised my hand with confidence. teachers praised me for having a good memory. reading removed my fear for my failing sight, reading also made me curious about other peoples challenges and how they managed. though i could not use my eyes to fix on each page, my mind lit up with every new book. true to what the doctor said, the worst came, but thanks to mom, my sense of hearing now allows me to “see”. this was the most precious gift from a mother to her child.24. why did the author and his parents keep silent on their way back home from hospital?a. they all wanted to have a good rest.b. the author didnt do well in the exam.c. what the doctor said made them worried.d. they focused on the scenery along the road.25. how did the author manage to get high marks?a. by being

a. my eyesight trouble b. an unforgettable experience c. with ears wide open d. about mothers love csince i started working part-time at a grocery store, i have learned that a customer is more than someone who buys something. to me, a customer is a person whose memory fails entirely once he or she starts to push a shopping cart(购物手推车). one of the first things customers forget is how to count. there is no other way to explain how so many people get in their express line, which is clearly marked 15 items or less, with 20, 25 or even a cart load of items.customers also forget why they came to the store in the first place. just as i finish ringing up an order, a customer will say, “oops, i forgot to pick up a fresh loaf of bread. i hope you dont mind waiting while i go to get it.” five minutes later, hes back with the bread, a bottle of milk, and three rolls of paper towels. what is stranger is that customers also seem to forget that they have pay for their groceries. instead of writing a check or looking for a credit card while i am ringing up the groceries, a customer will wait until i announce the total. then, in surprise, she says, “oh no, what did i do with my check book?” after 5 minutes of digging through her purse, she borrows my pen because shes forgotten hers. but i have to tolerate customers because they pay my salary, and thats something i cant afford to forget.28. what does the author say about his customers?a. they cannot count numbers.b. they sometimes jump the queue.c. they dont know how to express themselves.d. they behave as if their memories have totally failed.29. according to the text, who are supposed to be in the express line?a. customers with nothing bought.b. customers with not more than 15 items.c. customers with items between 15 and 25.d. customers with 25 or even a cart load of items.30. when customers arrive at the check-out counter, they _.a. find their pens lostb. go back and get more itemsc. cannot wait to pay for their groceriesd. prefer paying by check to paying by a credit card31. we can infer from the text that _.a. business in the grocery store runs wellb. the author finds his present job full of func. the authors part-time job calls for patienced. customers go to grocery stores without planningdgreen is an important color in nature. it is the color of grass and the leaves on trees. it is also the color of most growing plants.sometimes, the word green means young, fresh and growing. sometimes, it describes something that is not yet ripe(成熟的) or finished.for example, a greenhorn is someone who has no experience, who is new to a situation. in the 15th century, a greenhorn was a young cow or ox whose horns(角) had not yet developed. a century or so later, a greenhorn was a soldier who had not yet had any experience in battle. by the 18th century, a greenhorn had the meaning it has today - a person who is new in a job.about 100 years ago, greenhorn was a popular expression in the american west. old-timers used it to describe a man who had just arrived from one of the big cities back east. the greenhorn lacked the skills he would need to live in the west.someone who has the ability to grow plants well is said to have a green thumb. the expression comes from the early 1900s. a person with a green thumb seems to have a magic touch that makes plants grow quickly and well. you might say that the woman next door has a green thumb if her garden continues to grow long after your plants have died.green is also the color used to describe the powerful emotion, jealousy(嫉妒). the green-eyed monster is not a frightening creature from outer space. it is an expression used about four hundred years ago by british writer william shakespeare in his play othello.it describes the unpleasant feeling that a person has when someone has something that he wants. a young man may suffer from the green-eyed monster if his girlfriend begins going out with someone else. or, that green-eyed monster may affect your friend if you get a pay raise and she does not.in most places in the world, a green light is a signal to move ahead. a green light on a traffic signal means your car can continue on. in everyday speech, a green light means approval to continue with a project. 32. if a person was a greenhorn, he might _.a. be good at growing plants b. get along well with othersc. be a soldier in the 16th century d. have no experience in doing something33. when you have trouble in growing flowers, you can ask for help from _.a. a green thumb b. a green light c. a greenhorn d. a green-eyed
