I can remember the day my father came home from the war. As he walked up the front path of our home, he saw Mum and me and he dropped the suitcase.
I was only five years old so Dad made a fuss of me, then began making an even bigger fuss of my mother. This left me free to examine all the stuff lying around the broken suitcase, and I was quick to notice a newspaper advertisement displaying a new piano. When Dad saw me holding up the newspaper cutting, he smiled.
“Yes, that’s right,” he said. “I bought your mum a piano for ten pounds down and two pounds a week.”
A few moments later, a horse pulled a cart with a piano on top. Soon we all stared at it in our small lounger room. Mum had never been close to a piano before, except at the kindergarten I attended, and she used to say how wonderful it would be if the teachers could teach her to play.
After tea that night, Mum began to teach herself to play. She plinked the keys for about two hours and drove everybody in the street mad, until Dad gently said, “Enough is enough.”
From that day on, she would plink between doing the cooking and housework. Three months went by and Mum was now a skilled pianist, holding parties with all the neighbors gathering around to sing.
Although we were poor, Mum felt like a princess and was delighted at all the attention she was receiving.
At the height of Mum’s happiness, I began to notice that Dad was looking increasingly worried. It turned out that since returning from the war, he’d been unable to find a job. Then, a few weeks later, I observed two men taking Mum’s piano away. Mum sobbed in the kitchen. Suddenly, it all became clear to me: no job, no money, no piano.
Dad finally got a job. Mum was happy again as if he’d just win the lottery(彩票). Dad had to study to qualify as an account. Every night after dinner he’d place a stack of books on the kitchen table and study late into the night. Mum didn’t say much but I could tell she was proud of Dad.
Two years later, Dad bought Mum another piano. This time he paid cash for it.
【小题1】How did the author’s Dad buy the piano for his mum?

A.He paid part of the bill regularly.
B.He earned it by winning a bet.
C.He paid cash for it.
D.He bought it as a big bargain.
【小题2】By saying “Enough is enough”, the author’s dad meant_______.
A.practice makes perfect
B.it was time to stop practicing
C.he couldn’t bear being troubled
D.his wife played the piano well enough
【小题3】What happened to the author’s mum’s first piano?
A.It was lost.
B.It was broken by one neighbor.
C.It was sold by his dad.
D.It was taken away.
【小题4】What made the author’s mum proud of his dad?
A.His dad’s willingness to help cook.
B.His dad’s winning the lottery luckily.
C.His dad’s loyalty to his motherland.
D.His dad’s determination to rebuild his life.

阅读理解。
     A Northern Ireland team is leading a research to develop a thinking computer which can sense a
user's mood.Researchers at Queen's University in Belfast hope to complete the 10 million Euro
project for an emotionsensitive computer within four years.
     The aim is to enable computers to think and behave more like humans.The Europewide project is
being led by the university's School of Psychology and involves 160 researchers from 27 institutions.
The university's researchers developed the scheme and signed the contract with the European
Commission.The academics said the work will build upon attempts to create "multimodal interfaces
(多模式界面)" which allow machines to sense and respond to the moods of the user.
     Programme leader Professor Roddy Cowie said while it sounds like science fiction, computers
which respond to human emotion will appear in the future."At the moment, our use of computers is
limited by the fact that we need a keyboard and a screen to access them," he said."It would make a
big difference if we could interact with them by speaking normally-perhaps through a microphone and
a transmitter (传感器)." But emotion is part of normal speech, and experience has shown that most
users are deeply uncomfortable with speech interfaces that ignore it-too uncomfortable to use them
very much."If we can make computers more intuitive (富于直觉的) and expressive, and also less
challenging to use, there is great potential to let people make fuller use of information technology."
     The emotionsensitive computer would have its own "personality" and establish a social relationship
with the user."It's a fair bet that in 30 years' time, emotionsensitive interfaces will be as much part of life
as windowandmouse interfaces are now," said Professor Cowie.The project team believes such computers will play a major role in teaching and learning.
1.Which of the following statements is TRUE about the project?
A.It aims to create an emotionsensitive computer.
B.It can create a 10 million Euro profit.
C.It is led by a Southern Ireland team.
D.It has been completed within four years.
2.How will computers sense users' moods?
A.Through a screen.
B.Through a keyboard.
C.Through the voice of users.
D.Through multimodal interfaces.
3.We can infer from the passage that a person's emotion________.
A.varies from time to time
B.is determined by his own personality
C.plays an important role in normal speech
D.makes people uncomfortable when one is speaking
4.What conclusion can we draw from the last paragraph?
A.Emotionsensitive computers can talk freely as human beings.
B.It will be difficult for people to use emotionsensitive computers.
C.Emotionsensitive computers have been widely used in teaching.
D.It will be common for people to use emotionsensitive computers in the future.
