1.Anna is our only daughter. My wife and I have two sons, and Anna is the youngest in the family, but she's twenty-five now. Anna was not well when she was little. It was a very worrying time and she stayed at home a lot. She was seen first by the local doctors, and then she was sent to a specialist in Cardiff where she was diagnosed as diabetic. It was my wife who mainly took care of her then. I am not very good at looking after little children. I suppose I am a bit traditional in that way. But when she grew up a bit, we spent a lot of time together. We loved walking and talking and discussing life. We still love it today. We get on very well. Although she looks like me (tall, dark hair, dark eyes and dark skin), she takes after her mother: she is artistic and musical, and like her mother she's attractive. She loves looking after animals - she has two dogs, three cats and a goat. She lives in a little house in the country. I like animals too. I like riding and hunting, but Anna hates hunting. She thinks it's cruel. We discuss it a lot. She is quiet and a bit shy with strangers. I am more outgoing and I love meeting new people. But she's not boring - actually, she's very funny. She always has lots of stories of her life in the country. She's an art and music teacher in a little village school. She is very good-natured. Anna says we brought her up well, and she's going to bring her children up to be honest and loyal. But I think she was easy to bring up. I don't remember ever telling her off.1.According to the passage, when Anna was a child, she ().2. It can be inferred from the passage the author thinks looking after little children is ().3.

2.The Extended FamilyMrs Sharp, a large, red-faced woman in her late sixties, has lived in Greenleas, a 'new town' in the countryside outside London, since 1958. Before that she lived in Bethnal Green, an area of inner London. She was moved to Greenleas by the local authorities when her old house was demolished.She came from a large family with six girls and two boys, and she grew up among brothers, sisters, uncles, aunts, grandparents and cousins. When she married her boyfriend from school at eighteen, they went on living with her parents, and her first child was brought up more by her mother than by herself, because she always worked.As the family grew, they moved out of their parents' house to a flat. It was in the next street, and their life was still that of the extended family. "All my family used to live around Denby Street," said Mrs Sharp, "and we were always in and out of each other's houses." When she went to the shops, she used to call in on her mother to see if she wanted anything. Every day she would visit one sister or another and see a nephew or niece at the corner shop or in the market."You always knew 90% of the people you saw in the street everyday, either they were related to you or you were at school with them," she said.When her babies were born (she had two sons and a daughter), she said, "All my sisters and neighbours would help – they used to come and make a cup of tea, or help in some other way." And every Saturday night there was a family party. It was at Mrs Sharp's mother's house. "Of course we all know each other very well. You have to learn to get on with each other. I had one neighbour who was always poking her nose into our business. She was forever asking questions and gossiping. But you had to put up with everyone, whatever they were like."1.Why did Mrs. Sharp have to move to Greenleas? ()A.Because she had to work there.B.Because she didn’t like the old place at all.C.Because her house in the downtown area was knocked down.2.When she got married, she lived ______.A.together with her parents all the timeB.together with her parents for some timeC.far away from her parents’ house3.Why did she know so many people? ()A.Because she was easy going.B.Because they were either her relatives or schoolmates.C.Because she was good at making friends with people.4.The sentence “I had one neighbour who was always poking her nose into our business.” in the last Para. means ______.A.I had one neighbour who was always warm-hearted.B.I had one neighbour who was always ready to help us.C.I had one neighbour who always showed her interests in our private affairs.5.What does this passage mainly deal with? ()A.What the extended family is like.B.The relationship between Mrs Sharp and her neighbour.C.How Mrs Sharp brings her children up.

    James then asked the woman to consider a poor black mother on welfare.She already has four children and an alcoholic husband who has all but abandoned the family.Now she discovers another child is on the way."How would you counsel that woman?"asked James.
    "Have an abortion,"the woman responded."That child would have a very poor quality of life."
