    A brother and sister have been reunited after more than 60 years, thanks to a letter in the Welwyn and Hatfield Times.

      For years John Hannant Kept a photograph of his long-lost sister, hoping they would meet again. Margery, the eldest of the three children, had signed up to the Royal Air Force as part of the war effort, when John was still a baby. The family lost touch and as the decade s passed only a single letter gave a clue to her whereabouts. The clue was enough for a WHT reader to recognize  Margery and put the family back in touch..

      John, 67, had been searching for a long time and a friend suggested writing to the paper.

      “That’s the one that made it, the letter to the paper a few months age,” he said. “It’s like a dream come true. The last time we ever heard from Margery was in 1953 after the floods. She wrote home to know if we were all right. My sister Dorothy wrote back, But Margery had moved again and never got the letter.”

      Having retired from his job as a gardener at Park House, Mr. Hannat decided to take action once and for all. He and his wife Doreen, travelled to Margery’s home in Chelwood Avenue, Hatfield , which she shares with her husband Jack Cooke.

      Now 88, she was recovering after several months in hospital, but immediately recognized her brother. John said, “It’s something that I never thought was going to happen, but I always hoped it would.” As well as finding his sister, John has also discovered he now has a nephew, niece and six grandnieces and grandnephews.

    Margery left her family because______

    there was a flood in her hometown

    she signed up to serve the army

    she wanted to get her husband back

    a war broken out in her hometown

    When she wrote to John last time ,Margery was ______

    A.34 years old           B.40 years old

    C.44years old           D.54 years old

    What do we know about Jack Cooke’s family?

       A. Jack now has a son and a daughter.

       B. Jack and his wife live with their children now

       C. Jack’s wife is in good health all the time.

       D .Jack lost touch with his family a long time ago.

    It can be inferred from the passage that______

       A. since 1953 Margery has come back home only once.

       B .Margery received only one letter from John.

       C. Margery does not care about her family.

       D.WHT refers to a newspaper.

    【小题1】B

    【小题2】A

    【小题3】A

    【小题4】D


    解析:

    【小题1】 细节理解题。由文章第二段可知，Margery 应当是报名参军的，因为后面提到Royal Air Force (皇家空军部队）

    【小题2】数字计算题。由 1953-（2007-88）=34可知

    【小题3】细节判断题。由文章最后一句可知Jack Cooke现在有一个儿子和一个女儿及六

        个孙子和孙女

    【小题4】 推理判断题。有文章第二段可知WHT应该指的是那家帮John 找  Margery的报社。

           I  47  a lot of doughnuts on snowy days．I enjoyed my pals （伙伴）, but it never  48   to me that I played an important part in their lives—until one Saturday afternoon when a serious-looking man came into the store and asked if I was the girl who worked weekdays around four o'clock．I  49  it was true, and he introduced himself   50  the father of two of my favorites—a brother and sister team．

    On Sundays my father always wore that gray apron(围裙)—the one with the race cars all over it. The ritual (老规矩) began.       breakfast when Dad always announced, “Go ahead everyone. I’ll       the dishes!” For the next hour Dad did the dishes, singing ballads (歌谣) like “I Had a Hat When I Came in.” and “Who Put the Chow in Mrs. Marphy’s Chowder?”www.zxxk.com

    I suppose it was        for a boy’s father to wear an apron—even one with race cars—        I never thought much of it until the day that Dad broke with tradition. It was the last Sunday in August. As we        home slowly from church together, my father seemed very       . “Tommy,” he said letting my name roll off his       . “There comes a time in every boy’s        when he must take on responsibilities. It’s time you        a greater role in the family. From now on, I want you to        the dishes on Sunday morning, so your mother and I can work the crossword puzzle (纵横字谜) together.”

    “The dishes!?” I        in surprise.

    “Anything wrong with taking over the dishes, son?” father said.

    I started to say something about a man’s        or woman’s work, but I knew immediately that my protests (抗议) would be        .

    I didn’t taste a bit of       that morning. Dad seemed joyful as he described an American game.[www.zxxk.com]

    At the end of the meal, my father        , “Let’s go to read the paper, honey.” “Aren’t you doing the dishes?” my 51 asked surprisedly. Father smiled and said, “your oldest son has        to fill the position.”

    “I want you to have this apron on, Tommy. It’ll keep your clothes from getting        .” And before I could go against it, he had put the thing on me. “Thanks, Son. Your mother and I        this.”

    With that he disappeared into the Sunday paper. I looked        at the dishes. I could see my dad reaching for the dishes. He was always happy to help the family. My anger soon flew off and I began to sing.
