Question

【题目】It’s been a difficult year. My daughter, my dog and I lost our home. We’ve depended upon the kindness of others to provide temporary（临时的）shelter.

【1】 At one point, I felt as though my daughter might be better off without me. If she were placed with a rich family, she would have a good life. I was unable to provide a good life for her. 【2】 She went from having a beautifully decorated bedroom of her own, to having temporary shelter. She doesn’t complain（抱怨） that I can’t afford to give her the extra things she would love to have.

Today I dug through the changes at the bottom of my purse and bought her a lollipop (棒棒糖) at the store. She’d had her eye on it the entire time we were in line to pay for it. It was anold-fashioned one that cost $1.00. 【3】 It was the end of the month and I only had $1.35 left to my family. However, she’d been such a good girl, and I really thought she deserved a special treat.

Then I reached into my purse and counted out enough for the lollipop. You would have thought I gave her the key to the magic kingdom! “ Thank you, Mommy! You’re the best mommy!” 【4】

All at once, the cloud of worries and despair that had hung over me lifted. 【5】 I was ready to continue my journey, willing to face whatever challenges may lie ahead.

A. I really couldn’t afford it.

B. I became upset at my loss.

C. I could see tears shining in her eyes.

D. She cried with joy as she hugged me with all her strength.

E. However, she never complains, although she has every right to.

F. I wouldn’t have any money coming until the first day of next month.

G. I knew without doubt at that very moment that I was the family that my little girl needed.
