二、阅读理解。(2015，贺州)
When I was ten，my mother worked all day so I had to take care of my younger brother. At that time my little brother was about four years old and he missed mum all the time.
One day，after I had given him his dinner，he started crying for mum. He was so young and really needed mum. So I dressed him，put on his shoes，carried him on my back and walked out. Soon he fell asleep. About half an hour later，I found that he had lost a shoe while sleeping. I took him off my back and put him down. I knew we needed to find that shoe，for our mother couldn't afford new shoes. We had to go back to find it，so I told my brother
to wait right there. A man heard it and stopped me just before I walked off. He asked me，“You are leaving your brother here to find the shoe What would you do if he is not here when you return？” I did not know how to answer that question. He continued，“It is OK if you can't find the shoe，but it is not OK to lose your brother.” Then he sent us to mum's workplace by taxi.
I have depended on the kindness of many strangers in my whole life. I feel regretful that I cannot find them and say thank you. I don't even remember what the man's face looked like，but he taught me a lesson—people are more important than things.
11．Why did the younger brother cry for his mother
A．Because he wanted to sleep.
B．Because he wanted to play outside.
C．Because he was hungry.
D．Because he missed his mother.

A．People are more important than things.
B．Things are more important than people.
C．Both the shoe and your brother are important.
D．The shoe is more important than your brother.

二、任务型阅读。(2015，孝感)
The magazine Sunday Mail interviewed some parents about whether children should do chores at home. Different people have different opinions.
Ms. Miller thinks that kids these days already have enough stress from school. They do not have time to study and do housework，too. Housework is a waste of their time. They should spend their time on schoolwork in order to get good grades and get into a good university. When kids get older，they will have to do housework. So there is no need for them to do it now. She thinks that doing chores is not so difficult.
However，Mr. Smith disagrees with her. He thinks it is important for children to learn how to do chores and help their parents with housework. It's not enough to just get good grades at school. Children these days depend on their parents too much. Doing chores helps to develop children's independence and teaches them how to look after themselves. It also helps them to understand the idea of fairness. Everyone should do their part in keeping the house clean and tidy. The earlier kids learn to be independent，the better it is for their future.

Do you like doing housework I like doing housework. I often help my mother do housework when I am free. Because I think my parents are very tired after a day's work. I want them to have a good rest. I often help clean room，wash dishes，take out the rubbish and so on.
Last Sunday，my mother was on duty. She had to go home late. So I wanted to try to make dinner. I boiled some noodles first. Then I cut up some tomatoes and broke two eggs and put them into the noodles. When my mother came back home，I had already made two bowls of noodles with tomatoes and eggs. My mother was surprised and happy. She praised me. I was happy，too.
