Question

【题目】 My grandmother grew up in a world different from me. She experienced many things in her long life.

Though she never told stories, her stories were in the way she ate — she savored (品味) her food, cherished (珍惜) it. Often she would be the first to sit at the dinner table, and the last to leave. Food had been really scarce (缺乏) when she grew up.

Her stories were in the way she handed me lucky money. From a young age, my grandmother was brought up to understand the importance of hard work and the necessary of saving. Every Chinese New Year, I would be handed, or sent, a small red envelope that contained money, but never more than twenty dollars. When I was young , I didn’t understand why my grandmother gave me such a small amount of money. As I grew older, I realized that she wasn’t teaching me about money, but about tradition and hard work and family. The money was insignificant. I would probably spend it on any toy that I would lose soon after; it was the meaning behind her gift that mattered. It was her saying, “ I love you; I am your family and I want you to work hard as your family has before you.”

My grandmother’s stories were lessons. But they were never told in words. From the time that I was very young, up until she could barely remember my name, I remember her calling me “good girl”. Those two little words, in the course of my growing up, were a constant reminder that I was still so young, with still so far to go.

Now my grandmother is gone, but I see her every day. I see her in the women around me and in the mirror. She lives with me, inside me, and in the legacies(遗产)that I will create. And I know she would be proud.

【解析】

这是一篇记叙文。作者通过回忆表达了对祖母深深的思念，祖母为作者树立了很好的榜样，她的的一些做法使自己明白了很多的道理。

【1】细节理解题。由第二段“she savored (品味) her food, cherished (珍惜)it. Often she would be the first to sit at the dinner table, and the last to leave.”可知，祖母品尝着食物，很珍惜食物。 她常常是第一个坐在餐桌旁，最后一个吃完离开的。所以作者的祖母花了那么多时间在餐桌旁吃饭，是因为她真的很想享受美食。故选D项。

【2】细节理解题。由第三段“As I grew older, I realized that she wasn’t teaching me about money, but about tradition and hard work and family. It was her saying, “I love you; I am your family and I want you to work hard as your family has before you.”可知，随着年龄的增长，作者意识到祖母教给自己的不只是关于钱，而是关于传统、努力工作和对家庭的责任。祖母说:“我爱你;我是你的家人，我希望你像你们的家人一样努力工作。所以作者从她祖母给她压岁钱的方式中学到了自己要努力工作，这是很重要的。故选D项。

【3】推理判断题。由倒数第二段“Those two little words, in the course of my growing up, were a constant reminder that I was still so young, with still so far to go.”可知，在作者的成长过程中，这两个字，不断提醒作者，作者还很年轻，还有很长的路要走。由此判断出当作者听到她的祖母叫她“好女孩”时，作者认为她需要不断提高自己。故选B项。

【4】推理判断题。由最后一段“Now my grandmother is gone, but I see her every day. I see her in the women around me and in the mirror. She lives with me, inside me, and in the legacies (遗产) that I will create.”可知，现在作者的祖母去世了，但作者每天都能见到她。作者在她周围的女人和镜子里看到了她。她和作者生活在一起，活在作则的心里，活在作者要创造的美好明天里。由此判断出，祖母的言行给作者留下了深刻的印象，她为作者树立了很好的榜样。故选C项。
