What my father needed were sons. What my mother gave him were girls. Twin girls! I was older than my sister by a few minutes. I always treasure the thought of those minutes. They were the only time in my life when I was the center of everyones attention. From the moment Caroline was born, she drew all the attention to herself. When my mother and grandmother told the story of our births, it was mostly of how Caroline had refused to breathe. “But where was I?” I asked my mother. “In the basket,” she said, “Grandma dressed you and put you in the basket.” Carolines true gift was her voice. Our teacher, Mr. Rice, said she should have singing lessons. I was proud of my sister, but something began to hurt me under the pride. As time went on, I suffered more and more deeply. Later, I became a nurse-midwife, the person who helps deliver（给接生）babies. I went to a town called Truitt, where there were no doctors then. People there were usually slow to accept outsiders, but they needed my skills for all their medical problems. One night, I was helping with the birth and I guessed twins. The first babya boy came easily. But the second babya girl came head first and blue as death. The kitchen was slightly warmer than the bedroom, so I laid the second baby on some cloth on the door of the oven. Then I suddenly asked, “Where is the other twin?” In my concern for his sister, I had completely forgotten him. “Hes sleeping in the basket,” said the grandmother. “You should hold him,” I said, “and let his mother look after him!” 4.Why did Caroline draw all the attention after her birth?A.She was so lovely.B.She needed first aid.C.She breathed weakly.D.She was the last to come. 5.What was Carolines strong point?A.She was kind to others.B.She studied fairly well.C.She was good at singing.D.She got along well with others. 6.What can we learn from Paragraph 3?A.Truitt used to lack medical services.B.The small town Truitt welcomed strangers.C.The author went to Truitt to learn to deliver babies.D.People in Truitt had many medical problems. 7.Why did the author put the second baby in the kitchen?A.The temperature there was a little higher.B.It was convenient to rescue the baby there.C.The space was big enough to care for the baby.D.There were some other things she needed.CI started to study English when I was a child because of Michael Jackson.

There was a lot of work to do to learn English, but I never felt tired. At first I learned about pronunciation, which was the hardest part for me. Because music was my only source (来源) of spoken English, sometimes I had to use a pronunciation dictionary. Then I made lists of words in order to remember them and their meanings. I would spend hours learning English grammar. Whats more, I read a lot. I also tried to translate texts, dialogues and songs. Because of my hard work, my English improved a lot.
