39、ehension (Multiple Choice)Questions 391 to 395 are based on the same passage or dialog.Mr. and Mrs. Albina don't know where all their grown children are living now. Some of them, they know, are in Argentina （阿根廷），but they aren't sure where in Argentina. They aren't sure how old all their

40、 children are, either. Ask them, for example, "How old is your daughter Susanna?" and they say, "We're not sure." They might even say, "Which Susanna?" But it is understandable that the Albinas can't remember their children's addresses and ages. After all, t

41、hey have 53 children.Mr. and Mrs. Albina, with 53 children, have the world's largest family.Not one of their children is adopted.When people hear about the Albina's large family, the first question they ask is, "How is it possible? How can one woman give birth to 53 children in her life

42、time?" The answer is simple: Every time Mrs. Albina gave birth, she had twins or triplets （ 三胞胎）.She was a triplet herself; she thinks that's why she always had twins or triplets.The Albinas married when Mrs. Albina was 12 years old and Mr. Albina was 30. The children came quickly, in twos

43、and threes. The first 21 children were boys. Mrs. Albina loved her sons, but she wanted a daughter very much.The Albinas spent the early years of their marriage in Argentina.

45、bina children are in their thirties and forties. They are on their own now, but 18 of the Albina children still live with their parents. The family lives in a poor two-room house in Colina, Chile.

46、y backyard.At times there is very little food in the Albinas' small house. When there is not enough food for everyone, Mrs. Albina makes sure the youngest children do not go hungry. "The smallest eat first, and then the bigger ones. We've always done it that way," she says. Obvious

47、ly, the Albinas do not have enough money for their big family. Why, then, do they continue to have children?The Albinas do not use birth control because it is against their religious beliefs. They could let other people take care of their children, but Mrs. Albina will not allow it. "When my tw

48、o brothers and I were babies," she says, "our mother left us at an orphanage （孤儿院）and never returned. We lived there together until we were five. Then a couple adopted my brothers, and I was left behind. I was heartbroken. I promised myself that when I became a mother, I would never give m

49、y children away.Even if I didn't have much money, I would always take care of my children myself." Mrs. Albina has kept her promise.So, the Albina family continues to grow. Mr. and Mrs. Albina have so many children that they ran out of names for them all and had to give some children the sa

"Just my luck," he thought. "If I were speeding, there would be a police car on every corner."Suddenly Mr. Lestarquit realized how he could attract the attention of the police. He pushed his foot down on the accelerator （力口速器）of his car, and the car sped forward. "What are you doing?" shouted the man. "Running away from the police," Mr. Lestarqui
