I work as a volunteer for the poor in Haiti. I decided to take my son Brain there for a week, hoping to educate(教育) him.

Before getting out, I told Brain this trip would be tiring and hard. For the first two days, he said almost nothing. Then on the third day, when we were climbing over high rocky mountains, he turned to me and smiled, “Really hard.”

After that, a five-year-old girl, wearing a too large dress and broken shoes, followed Brain around. Later he said regretfully(遗憾地), “I wish I could speak French.” I was surprised that this was from a boy. He always hated French classes.

One day, I was interviewing(采访) a woman villager for an article. By working hard, she had learned to read and write and became part of the leadership(领导层) of the village. That really touched my heart.

Learning her story, Brain was greatly touched. His eyes were wet and there was love and respect(尊重) on his face. He finally understood the importance of my work. When leaving for home, Brain even offered(提供) to stay in as a volunteer. This trip was very meaningful.

----I have a letter ______but I’m too busy.

---Why not have your son ______it for you ?

A. to post; post B. posted； post C. to post; to post D. post; post

A 【解析】句意：——我有一封信要寄，但我太忙了。 ——你为什么不让你儿子帮你张贴？ 第一空是不定式作定语修饰letter。当不定式修饰的名词刚好是不定式动作的对象时，不定式必须用主动形式，故第一空不能选posted。 第二空的考点为: have sb. do sth. 意为"让某人做某事" , 这是固定搭配, 作宾补的不定式在动词have，let，make 等后不能带to。故第...

Some parents prefer ________ the wall blue for their children _______ them a feeling of harmony.

A. to paint; to give B. painting; giving

D. how far it was to get to the exhibition from our school

A 【解析】句意：——你能告诉我从学校到展览需要多长时间吗？ ——大约两个小时。 宾语从句用陈述句语序， 故C错误。本题考查it takes sb some time to do sth某人花费多长时间做某事，句型。所以D错误。Could you tell me ……？是一种语气，而不是时态。因此B错误。it是单数 take要加S 并且因为已经有了谓语动词take，get就要用非谓语形...
