11.The most popular food in America was invented because a cook got angry.George Crum was a cook at a restaurant in Saratoga Springs,New York.One day in 1853,a customer who had ordered fried potatoes sent them back to the kitchen.He wanted the cook to slice (切片) them thinner and fry them longer.George Crum had a bad temper (脾气),and he thought the potatoes were fine the way he made them.To teach the customer a lesson,he sliced potatoes very thin and fried them until they were crispy (脆的).But instead of being angry,the customer loved the new fried potatoes.He asked for more.Other people who tried them liked them too and customers kept asking for them.For many years,people called them Saratoga chips after the town where they were first made.

1.Six Ways to Improve Reading Comprehension
    Help your child keep what he reads-a crucial skill,especially as he gets older and needs to gain important information from textbooks.

(38)C.To gain meaning from text,your child needs to read quickly and smoothly-a skill known as fluency.Rereading familiar,simple books gives your child practice at decoding words quickly so he'll become more fluent.

     Talk about what he's reading.This"verbal processing"helps him remember and think through the themes of the book.(39)BFor example:
●Before:"What interests you in this book?What doesn't?"
●During:"(40)A.Is it turning out the way you thought it would?"
●After:"Can you summarize the book?What did you like about it?"

19.Father's Garden
My father was always a good gardener.One of my earliest memories is standing without shoes in the freshly tilled(翻耕的) soil,my hands blackened from digging in the ground.
As a child,I loved following Dad around in the garden.I remember Dad pushing the tiller(耕作机) ahead in perfectly straight lines.Dad loved growing all sorts of things yellow and green onions,watermelons almost as big as me,rows of yellow corn,and our favorite-red tomatoes.
As I grew into a teenager,I didn't get so excited about gardening with Dad.Instead of magical land of possibility,it had turned into some kind of prison.As Dad grew older,his love for gardening never disappeared.After all the kids were grown and had started families of their own,Dad turned to gardening like never before.Even when he was diagnosed with cancer,he still took care of his garden.
But then,the cancer,bit by bit,invaded his body.I had to do the things he used to do.What really convinced me that Dad was dying was the state of his garden that year.The rows and rows of multicolored vegetables were gone.Too tired to weed them,he simply let them be.He only planted tomatoes.
For the first few years after he died,I couldn't even bear to look at anyone's garden without having strong memories pour over me like cold water from a bucket.Three years ago,I decided to plant my own garden and started out with just a few tomatoes.That morning,after breaking up a fair amount of soil,something caught the corner of my eye and I had to smile.It was my eight-year-old son Nathan,happily playing in the freshly tilled soil.

A.stopped his gardening.
B.turned to other hobbies.
C.devoted more to gardening.
D.focused on planting tomatoes

A.There was a great harvest.
B.The garden was almost deserted.
C.No plant grew in the garden at all.
D.The author's son took charge of the garden.
7.Why did the author start his garden with tomatoes?A
A.He wanted to honor his father.
B.His son liked the fields of tomatoes.
C.He only knew how to grow tomatoes.
D.He thought tomatoes were easy to manage.
