A long time before I was born, my grandma and grandpa moved into the house on Beechwood Avenue. They had a young family of 4 little girls.

During that time, work was hard to find, so Grandpa did whatever jobs he could. He worked on a farm during the week and at weekends he and Grandpa grew some of their own food in the garden(花園).

Everybody worked to keep the garden growing. All summer long, the family ate food from the garden and enjoyed the beautiful flowers. Grandma made jam(果醬)with strawberry, tomatoes, beans, peppers, pears and peaches. It was good to eat through the long winter.

The family grew up, and before too many years had passed, the grandchildren came to visit. Grandma and Grandpa still planted their garden every spring. Everyone still enjoyed the good food from the garden and always took some home.

Grandchildren grew up, and grandparents grew older. It became harder for Grandma and Grandpa to keep up the garden. So they made it a little smaller. There was still plenty to eat from the garden and lovely flowers to enjoy.

Then one summer when Grandpa was eighty-nine years old, all he could do was to watch from his chair as the vegetables grew and the flowers came out. Summer slowly went away, and Grandpa died before it was time to bring in the harvest(豐收).

A. Five B. Six C.Seven D. Eight

2.The life then was very ________. People couldn’t find jobs easily.

A. easy B. happyC. hard D. free

3.Grandchildren took their grandparents’ vegetables home because ________.

4.As time passed by, grandparents made the garden smaller because ________.

5.The best title for the passage is ________.

The fitting-in of Suzy Khan

The first time I saw Suzy Khan, I knew I had to help her. She was really small for her age of 12. The boys in my class often about her and laughed their heads off. She would open a book, pretending to read, with tears dropping on the open page. All I knew was that she was an orphan (孤兒), from Africa. She had just been adopted by a family in town who that the best way for her to learn American ways of life was to be with American kids. I looked down at this girl, and promised myself that somehow I would help her.

But how I would help her in with us? There had to be a way.

One day, when I went into the classroom. I saw that Suzy had her geography book to a picture of a train, and in her notebook, she had made a perfect copy.

I was surprised and thought that she could do something in the coming show. So, I took her to see the art teacher, Miss Park, and showed her what Suzy had . “Why, it's wonderful,” said Miss Park, who then showed us a poster she had painted the talent show. “I need more of these, but I just don't have enough . Could you help me, Suzy?”

On the day of the talent show, Suzy's were everywhere - all over the hall and all over the school, each one different.

“And finally,” said Mr. Brown, the schoolmaster, at the end of the show, “we have a special award. I'm sure you've all noticed the wonderful posters.” Everyone nodded. “One of your own students them.”

I could hear everyone whispering, “Who in our school could draw well?”

Mr. Brown waited a while before saying, “ this student worked so hard on the posters, she deserves a prize, too. Our mystery (神秘的) artist is our new student, Suzy Khan!”

Mr. Brown thanked her for all the wonderful posters and gave her a professional artist's set. “Thank you,” she cried.

I , at that time when I was looking at her excited face, she'd probably never anything in her whole life.

Everyone started to clap their hands, Suzy Khan gave them a shy smile and the applause was deafening. I knew then Suzy was going to be all right.
