A
Having three cancer patients in the same household can turn a whole family upside down. Michelle Bruce, her husband, Jeremy, and their son, Holden, all had cancer. The family moved to Michelle’s hometown of Franklin, Nebraska six years ago, so her parents could help.
Doctors found Holden’s brain tumor(肿瘤), when he was 12 years old. His family was living in a small town at the time, but there were related doctors in the state. Holden had two operations in Omaha clinic, both of which were tough.
When Holden’s cancer came back again in 2012, nothing could be done. But the family didn’t give up. They reached out to Boston Children’s Hospital, which has better equipment and doctors with more experience operating on kids. After looking at Holden’s records, the doctor sent back her diagnosis: She was confident that she could remove the tumor.
The family was beyond relieved, until they learned insurance wouldn’t cover any of the operation’s costs. The operation would cost $39,000 — more than the parents could afford. The family got desperate.
In a town of just 1,000 people, however, word traveled fast. Within days, a local woman Michelle had never met in person called to say she was planning an event to raise money for Holden. Michelle was touched.
The event was uplifting. Finally, the town raised $45,000 – enough to cover not just Holden’s hospital bills, but for Michelle and Jeremy’s trip to Boston with their son. “I just didn’t know what to say,” said Michelle. “Nobody could really believe it.”
Holden’s operation went much more smoothly than the first two. He is cancer-free and now is attending Central Community College-Hastings on a full-ride scholarship.
1、Where did Michelle’s parents live?
A．Florida. B．Boston.
C．Omaha. D．Franklin.
2、Why did Holden’s family go to Boston Children’s hospital?
A．Because it was near their home.
B．Because it had better equipment and doctors.
C．Because the medical expense there was cheaper.
D．Because they were familiar with the doctors there.
3、What was the feeling of the family when they learned the operation’s cost?
A．They were in despair.
B．They were very delighted.
C．They were very surprised.
D．They remained calm.
4、What is the best title of the passage?
A．World’s Best Cancer Doctors
B．Brave Boy Who Conquered His Cancer
C．1,000 People Saved A Teen’s Life
D．Country’s Welfare System Shined

B
For years going home for the holidays has been bittersweet. I appreciate the opportunity to spend quality time with my mom but it is painful for me to see her house littered with stuff (物品). Clothes bought but never worn, and new items in their original packaging carelessly purchased and never used. It’s evident that seeing the stuff on a daily basis reminds my mom of a time when shopping was her way of spending money.
I didn’t fully understand the extent to which my mom was suffering until this week, when I saw piles of clothes on her bed, “How do you manage to sleep every night with all that stuff, Mom?” I asked. To my horror, she replied to it because I know I have to get rid of all this stuff eventually; I am punishing myself by sleeping with them until I do that.”
Shocked and upset, I gently explained to her that punishing herself was only to make things worse, and that everybody deserves a place to sleep in peace, no matter what mistakes they’ve made. I suggested she move all the stuff upstairs, leaving her room comfortable to sleep in.
With patience and her slow but steady guidance, I helped her go through some of the piles and move them upstairs. For the rest of the week I stayed there, she was in a better mood and was excited about going-through the rest of the house to finally get rid of her stuff—past mistakes and painful times. The items brought back painful memories as we inspected and moved them, but I kept reminding her that removing them would allow her to move on and heal. We finally sold so many things and took bag after bag to charity.
The stuff is just a sign of the destructive patterns of self-hatred on past mistakes. Only through the act of self-forgiveness can we bring about a chain reaction of reorganizing— both of the house and heart.
1、What made the author feel bitter?
A．She couldn’t understand her mom’s sorrows.
B．Her mom was stuck in the painful memories.
C．Her mom was always left alone at home.
D．Her mom wasted money on useless things,
2、The underlined word “that” in the second paragraph refers to ________.
A．getting rid of the stuff. B．buying the stuff
C．opening the stuff D．moving the stuff
3、We can infer from the passage that ________.
A．the author never bought her mom anything
B．the author’s mom has no money to purchase now
C．the author s mom regrets buying so many things
D．the author knows her mom’s suffering only this week
4、What’s the best title of the passage?
A．How to do shopping wisely B．The importance of self-forgiveness.
C．Keep an eye on the elderly’s behavior D．Clearance helps remove suffering
