人教新目标八年级英语下册单元测试题：Unit9姓名:_ 班级:_ 成绩:_一、完型填空I was six years old, and my sister was a three-year-old girl. For some reasons, I thought we wanted to make some money. We visited the neighbors (邻居), offering to clean houses for them for a quarter cents. To our _, there were no takers and one of neighbors telephoned my mother. When we came back, mother asked, “Why were you two going around and telling neighbors you would clean their houses?” Mother wasnt angry with us. In fact, we learned afterwards she was _ that we had come up with such an idea.But we said _. Shocked (震惊) and terribly hurt that her dear little girls could lie (说谎), Mother then told us that Mrs. Jones had just called and told her we came to her house and said we would clean it for a quarter cents.We had to admit (承认) what we had done. Mother said we didnt _ the truth. She tried to explain (解释) why a lie hurt, but she didnt feel that we really understood.Then mother began preparing for lunch happily. As we were eating sandwiches, she asked: “Would you two like to go to the movies this afternoon?”“Wow, would we ever?” We asked what movie would be playing. Mother said: “The Matinee.”“Oh, fantastic! We would be going to see The Matinee?” We had a bath and all dressed up (打扮). It was like getting ready for a birthday party. We hurried outside the house, not wanting to _the bus. At the bus stop, Mom said, “Girls, we are not going to the movies today.”“What?” we said. “What do you mean? Arent we going to The Matinee? Mom, you said that we are going to The Matinee.” Mother gathered us in her arms. I couldnt understand why there were tears in her eyes. She gently (温和地) explained this is what a _ felt like. “It is important that what we say is true,” Mom said, “I lied to you just now and it felt _ to me. I dont ever want to lie again and Im sure you dont want to lie again either. People must be able to _ each other. Do you understand?”We understood. We would never forget. And since we had learned a lesson, why not go to see The Matinee? There was still _. “Not today.” Mother told us. “We would go another time.” That is how over fifty years ago, my sister and I learned to be honest.1 . AsurpriseBjoyCluckDworry2 .

In their opinion, “I love you” is too difficult for them to say. Sending flowers to each other on Valentines Day is even impossible. Whats more, my father is always angry. When hes very tired from the hard work, it is easy for him to be angry.One day, my mother was sewing (缝) a quilt. I silently sat down beside her and looked at her.“Mom, I have a question to ask you,” I said after a while.“What?” she replied, still doing her work.“Is there love between you and Dad?” I asked her in a very low voice.My mother stopped her work and raised her head with surprise in her eyes. She didnt answer at once and continued to sew the quilt. I was very worried because I thought I had hurt her. I was embarrassed and I didnt know what I should do. But at last I heard my mother say the following words:“Susan,” she said thoughtfully, “Look at this thread(线). Sometimes it appears, but most of it disappears in the quilt. The thread really makes the quilt strong and durable(耐用的). If life is a quilt, then love should be a thread. It can hardly be seen anywhere or anytime, but its really there. Love is inside.”I listened carefully but I couldnt understand her until the next spring. At that time, my father suddenly got sick seriously. My mother had to stay with him in the hospital for a month. When they returned from the hospital, they both looked very weak. It seemed both of them had had a serious illness. After they were back, every day in the morning and in the evening, my mother helped my father walk slowly on the country road. My father had never been so gentle. The doctor had said my father would get well in two months. But after two months he still couldnt walk by himself. Both of us were worried about him.“Dad, how are you feeling now?” I asked him one day.“Susan, dont worry about me.” he said gently. “To tell you the truth, I just like walking with your mom. I like this kind of life.” Reading his eyes, I know he loves my mother deeply.Once I thought love meant flowers, gifts and sweet kisses. But from this experience, I understand that love is just a thread in the quilt of our life. Love is inside, making life strong and warm.10 .
