5.My folks bought their first house in the early 1940s after Dad got a better job in Marquette,Michigan.We lived just inside the city limits in what was still a rural area.
In the spring of 1948,when I was 6 years old,my parents bought a calf (小牛) to replace our cow,which had been killed the year before.So one day we drove to a local farm and returned with a white and brown calf we named Tubby.
We didn't own a truck,so Tubby rode home in the backseat of Dad's car with my 9-year-old brother Steve,and me.As you can imagine,the trip was a lot of fun for us kids.
Later that summer,Mom thought it would be cute to take a picture of me sitting on Tubby's back.All went well unt.1the snap of the camera shutter sent Tubby charging off on a run,with me holding on for dear life.I lasted for about 30 feet before I hit the ground.Mom was quick enough to shoot a follow-up picture,so we had photos of me both on and off Tubby!
When summer had passed,the day arrived for poor Tubby to fill Ur freezer I must have been somewhere else with my Mom on the fateful day,because I have no memory of how it happened.All I knew was that the barn was empty,and that we had plenty of meat for dinners.
I hadn't lived on a farm like my mother,so I didn't understand that what happened to Tubby was not unusual.Livestock aren't meant to be pets,and most farm kids know and accept that truth.
Whenever we had beef for dinner,I would tearfully,"Is this Tubby"This went on for a couple of weeks until Dad had finally had enough and declared,"No more cows!"That made me feel a little better about poor Tubby.

B.it would provide their children with milk.
C.the family would have enough meat to eat.

5.Which word can be used to describe the author's mom?D
A.Serious.B.Strong-willed.C.Careless D.Quick-minded.
6.We learn from the passage thatC.
A.Steve was not so fond of Tubby as his younger brother.
B.the author had much trouble with Tubby in the summer.
C.the author's mom thought it natural to kill a cow for meat.
D.the author was pleased to see their freezer filled with beef.

A.pets B.education C.diet D.animals.
