Question

There were a family of nine: the father, the mother, two boys and five girls. The father worked as a kitchen cleaner at a local school and the rest of the family did the same job-----clean people’s yards.  1.     

Then one day, the father lost his job at the school. He asked me if I could allow him to clean my yard.   2.    He and his family came to our house three times a week to clean the yard.

One Sunday morning, the father suffered a stroke and died in the hospital two days later. The poor family had lost their main bread-winner. The eldest boy had just completed high school and was getting ready to go to college.   3.   

For the following years, Andrew, my husband and I did all our best to help make sure the family got their education, and provided some daily needs, like clothes.

   4.   . They didn’t have a toilet in their home! Imagine! A mother, a fifteen-year-old girl, and four smaller children without a toilet or bathroom!

The next morning, my friend Peter came to my house. Then I told him I wanted to do something for the poor family. As a helpful man, he promised to offer some money. So together we built a bathroom and a toilet for this family in three days.   5.   . And we felt happy, too.

A．Clearly, they lived a poor life.

B．The others were just little kids

C．Realizing his situation, I offered him the job at once.

D．This brought a lot of smiles and happiness to the family.

E.Every day we gave her some pocket money.

F.We visited the family once and one thing made us greatly surprised.

G.You would be surprised to know that this poor family lived in just two rooms!

试题分析：本文讲述了我和我的朋友们把一个贫穷人家的故事。

1.A 根据前句The father worked as a kitchen cleaner at a local school and the rest of the family did the same job-----clean people’s yards.可知爸爸妈妈所做的工作都是报酬很低的工作，所以他们的生活很贫穷。故A正确。

2.C 根据上句He asked me if I could allow him to clean my yard. 可知他失去了工作，向我求援。我立刻就给他提供了工作。故C正确。

3.B 根据前句The eldest boy had just completed high school and was getting ready to go to college.可知最大的孩子要读大学。其余的孩子都还小。故B项符合上下文。

4.F 根据下句. They didn’t have a toilet in their home! 可知没有厕所，这一点让我们很惊讶。故B项符合上下文。

5.D 根据前句So together we built a bathroom and a toilet for this family in three days.可知我们给他们修了一个浴室，这让他们很开心。故D项符合上下文。
