题目内容

One night l was sitting in my room half-listening when my 14-year-old son Tommy fought with his 12-year-old brother Kevin. I didn't pay attention when Kevin rushed up the stairs with the hurt on his face.

About 20 minutes later, when l was walking upstairs I hear Kevin crying inside the bathroom. I knocked on the door and asked, "Hey, Kevin, do you want to talk?"

No answer.

I tried again, "Why don't you come out of there?"

Again, no answer.

So, looking around, I took a stack of（一摞）cards and a pencil and wrote, "If you don't want to talk, we can write notes to each other."

An hour later I was still sitting on the floor outside the bathroom with two stacks of cards in front of me. One was blank and one was cards from Kevin on which he expressed all his terrible feeling into words for me, One of Kevin's notes said, "Nobody in this family cares about me. I am not the youngest, and I am not the oldest. Tommy thinks I am silly and Dad wishes he had the other

Kevin as a kid because he's better at basketball. And you're never around to even notice me."

My eyes became wet as I wrote back to him. "You know, Kevin, I really do love you and I'm sorry I don't always show it. I am here for you and you are loved in this family."

There was no answer for a while, but then l hear a tearing（撕）sound coming from inside the bathroom. Kevin who had run out of cards wrote on a torn paper cup, "Thanks."

I wrote back "For what?"

It returned to me with "Loving me" on it.

Since then, I try my best to never only half-notice my family members any more. Kevin and I have a closer relationship now. And sometimes when one of us notices that the other is unhappy, we'll smile and say "Write it on a paper cup."

46. Why did Kevin stay inside the bathroom alone crying?

A. Because he thought he was the worst boy in the family.

B. Because he hurt his face when rushing up the stairs.

C. Because he felt no love from the family members.

D. Because he thought Mum only half-noticed him.

47. What makes Kevin think that Dad doesn't like him?

A. He is much sillier than Tommy is.

B. He isn't good at playing basketball.

C. He doesn't like to make friends with others.

D. He always refuses to answer others' questions.

48. Which of the following is true about the writer?

A. She has two children.

B. Kevin is the child who she loves best in her family.
