It was December 22. The bitter wind swept the countless snowflakes(雪花) across my front yard. My dad was there sweeping the  36 . His nose was red as a cherry. With every breath he took, a white puff escaped  37  the air.

Inside, my mother was _38_the last of the boxes.  39  I entered the front door, the thought that after today I wouldn’t enter through that  40 ever again burned a hole in my stomach. I picked up my dog and sat Indian style with him in my lap on the  41 , wooden floor. I had no 42  but to sit on the floor, for there was no longer any furniture in my house. I sat there in a daze (恍惚), just 43 . There was no reason for my parents to make me, a once 44 12-year-old kid,  45. I had two best friends right across the street; I did well in school and I always kept my room clean.  46 , this was “my house”. By no means did I want a couple of  47 living here. These recurring (重复) thoughts  48  around in my mind and I couldn’t find an answer.

Out of the front window I could see the orange top of a truck pulling in along the cleaned driveway and I knew it was the other U-Haul. At once their men came  49  in through the back door like World War Ⅲ was starting.

I watched  50  as the men, my mother and my dad loaded the truck. My dog even winced (畏缩) as he stared out of the window. I wondered if he was  51  , too, or if he just wished to play outside in the snow.

My mum came in, looking solemn (凝重). She turned  52  the overhead light, put the  53  in my arms and took me out of the back door. A totally 54  feeling filled my heart. For the first time in my life, I wondered what  55  would be like to me tomorrow.

I live in a big city. It’s noisy and dirty and I got very  36 .At the weekends I like to leave the city and get some  37  air and a good rest. A few weeks ago I decided to go to see my  38 . I was really looking forward to it.
My parents live a long way  39 . I went to see them with James, a friend, and we drove on Friday night. In the middle of the  40  it began to rain. The road became very  41  and it was difficult to drive. We arrived home just after midnight, feeling very  42 . The next  43  it was still raining. James took his  44  to a garage which was very good.
In the afternoon the  45  improved, we wanted to go for a  46 . My parents lent us their car. That was no good. Their car didn’t  47 . We rang up the garage. “Oh,” They said, “Your car  48  be ready till tomorrow.” So it wasn’t  49  to go for a drive. We decided to play a word game. When we didn’t agree  50  a word we looked for a dictionary. It wasn’t there.  51  my mother remembered, “I lent it to your sister. She took it with her when she left.” The word game wasn’t any good  52  a dictionary.
On Sunday my mother dropped a heavy box on her  53  and we had to hire a  54  to take her to hospital. When James and I drove back we got stuck in a car accident. Next time I want a rest, I’ll stay  55 .

It makes no difference what you read or study if you can't remember it. You just waste your valuable time.【小题1】  One dependable aid that does help you remember what you study is to have a specific purpose or reason for reading.
Why does a clerk in a store go away when your reply to her offer to help is, “No, thank you.I'm just looking.”? Both you and she know that if you aren't sure what you want, you are not likely to find it.But suppose you say instead, “Yes, thank you.I want a pair of sun glasses.” She says, “Right this way, please”
 【小题2】  If you choose a book, “just looking” for nothing in particular, you are likely to get just that--nothing.But if you do know what you want, you are almost sure to get it.Your reasons will vary; they will include reading or studying “to find out more about”, “to understand the reasons for” and “to find out how”.
 【小题3】  Before you start to study, you say to yourself something like this, “I want to know why Stephen Vincent Benet happened to write about America”.Because you know why you are reading or studying, you relate the information to your purpose and remember it better.
【小题4】  At least two important processes go on at the same time.As you read, you take in ideas rapidly and accurately. But at the same time you express your own ideas to
yourself as you react to what you read. You have a kind of mental conversation with the author.
This additional process of thinking about what you read includes evaluating it, relating it to what you already know, and using it for your own purposes.【小题5】  One part of critical reading, as you have discovered, is distinguishing between facts and opinions.Facts can be checked by evidence, opinions are one’s own personalreactions.Another part of critical reading is judging sources.Still another part is drawing accurate inferences.

A.Maybe you have already discovered some clever ways to keep yourself from forgetting.
B.It is important for students to have a positive attitude to their study.
C.You remember better when you know what you' re reading.
D.In other words, a good reader is a critical reader.
E. It’s quite the same with your studying.
F. Reading is not one single activity.
G. This is the way it works.
