When Laura reached school-going age the discussions about moving became more urgent (紧迫的).The father did not want the children to go to school with the village children and for once her mother agreed with him. Not because, as he said, they ought to have a better education than they could get at Lark Rise; but because she feared they would tear their clothes and catch cold and get dirty heads going a mile and a half to and from the school in the village. So empty cottages in the market town were examined and often it seemed that the next week or the next month they would be leaving Lark Rise for ever, but again each time something would happen to prevent the removal, and gradually a new idea came up. To gain time, their father would teach the two eldest children to read and write, so that, if asked by the School Attend dance office, their mother could say they were leaving the small village shortly, and in the meantime, were being taught at home.
So their father brought home two copies of Mavor's First Reader and taught them the alphabet; but just as Laura was beginning on words of one syllable(音节), He was sent away to work on a distant job, only coming home at weekends. Laura, left at the c-a-t s-t-s stage on the m-a-t’s, then had to carry her book round after her mother as she went about her housework, asking, “Please, Mother, what does h-o-u-s-e spell?” or “W-a-l-k, Mother, what is that?”
Often when her mother was too busy or too tired to attend to her, she would sit and fix her eyes on a page that might as well have been printed in Hebrew(希伯来语) for all she could `make of it, frowning(锁眉) and studying the print as though she would make out the meaning by force of concentration(专注).
After weeks of this, there came a day when, quite suddenly, as it seemed to her, the printed characters took on a meaning. There were still many words, even in the first page of that simple edition she could not understand; but she could jump those and make sense of the whole. “I’m reading! I'm reading!” she cried aloud. “Oh, Mother! Oh, Edmund ! I’m reading!”
1. Laura’s father didn’t want his children to go to school at Lark Rise because________.
A. it was too far away B. they couldn’t learn enough
C. their hair would become dirty D. they would ruin their clothes
2. The children’s father decided to teach them to read and write so that they________.

C. could write to the School Attendance Office
D. would be educated before they left the village
3. The underlined part “left at the c-a-t s-i-t-s on the m-a-t’s stage” means that________ .
A. Laura was working hard and learning quickly
B. her father had no time to teach her
C. her mother was too busy to attend to her
D. Laura knew little fort how to read and write
4. From the passage we can infer that________ made Laura stare at a page in her book.
A. her lack of concentration B. her inability to understand
C. her need to understand Hebrew D. her determination to understand
5. Laura finally discovered she could read when she________.

My 10-year-old Donna said, “Mom, I made a new friend at school today. Can she come over tomorrow?” Donna was a shy girl and I wanted her to make some friends to bring her out of her shell.
“Sure, honey, that sounds great.” I said, thinking back to my own best friend, Lillian. We lived across the street from each other in Washington Heights, New York. We met at the age of 10, too. Like my daughter, I was shy, but Lillian drew me out. She was one of the friendliest people in school, with shiny black hair and a mile-wide smile.
In senior high school, Lillian went on a trip to Florida. This was the first time we had to be away from each other for a few days. “I’ll be back soon.” she told me. But three days later, Lillian’s sister told me that she had fallen into a river and hadn’t come out any more. Soon, my family moved to New Jersey. Whenever I thought of her, tears came into my eyes.
The next day Donna brought her new friend home. “Hi, Mrs. Loggia.” the little girl said. Her hair was so shiny and black and she shot me a big smile. “My name is Laura.”
My daughter’s new friend was so much like Lillian. I was still puzzled (迷惑) when Laura’s mom came to pick her up later that afternoon. I opened the door to let her in. “Judy!” she cried. “It’s me, Lillian’s sister, from Washington Heights.” Yes, my daughter’s friend looked familiar. She was Lillian’s niece.
