阅读下列短文,然后从A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳答案。

Have you ever wanted to have a doll that could talk to you? In the book The Ventriloquist's Daughter, a girl named Liur gets a doll like this. But it doesn't turn out to be as fun as she thought.

Lin Man-Chiu, an author from Taiwan, wrote the book. British translator Helen Wang translated it into English. The book tells a touching story about Liur and her father.

Liur loses her mother at a young age. Her grandfather sends her father to a medical school in the US. Five years later, he comes back with a doll named Carola, as he once promised he would. This doll is quite unusual-it can talk! However, Carola makes a lot of problems for the family.

After reading this book. I thought Liur and her father were just unlucky. In fact, this story is based on the author's own unhappy childhood. She had six sisters. Still, her grandfather wanted a grandson. Her father was under heavy pressure and didn't live with her and her sisters for a very long time. The author didn't like her father when she was young. But now she has forgiven him. The talking doll Carola stands for her father's burden (负担).

After I learned this,I understood the author's main message. Everyone has demons (心魔) in their lives, but we should do our best to beat them.

1.Who wrote the book The Ventriloquist's Daughter?

A.Lin Man-Chiu. B.Liur. C.Helen Wang. D.Carola.

2.Carola is unusual because .

A.it is a doll B.it looks like a human C.it can read books D.it can talk

3.What is the main message of the book?

A.We should try harder to understand our parents. B.A talking doll can cause many problems.

C.We should try to beat the demons in our hearts. D.Too many children can be a burden on a family.
