阅读理解

    I had spent an hour in the bank with my dad to transfer some money (转账). I ask him, "Dad, why not use online banking?" "Why would I do that?" He replied.

    "Well, then you won't have to spend an hour here to transfer your money. You can also do your shopping online. Everything will be easier!" I said in excitement. He asked, "If I do that, I won't have to go out of the house?"

    "Yes!" I said. I told him how groceries (杂货) can be delivered to our doors now. And we can buy everything we need by just staying at home.

    However, he said, "Since I walked into this bank today, I have met four of my friends. I have much free time, so I like to come to the bank and meet different people. Two years ago, when I was in hospital, the store owner from whom I bought fruit came to see me. And when your mom fell down a few days ago, the bank manager saw her and helped her get to the hospital."

    He went on, "why would I want to look at my computer all the time? I like to know the person around me. Does Amazon send bonds (情感纽带) and relationships, too?"

    I didn't know what to say after hearing his words. My dad was right, of course. It's better for us to spend time with real people than computers.

(1)、The writer advised his father to ______.
A、transfer the money online B、go out of the house every day C、shop in the supermarket with him
(2)、The underlined word "delivered" probably means ______.
A、出售 B、拒绝 C、递送
(3)、______ helped the writer's mother get to the hospital a few days ago.
A、The doctor B、The bank manager C、The fruit shop owner
(4)、From the passage, we can know that ______.
A、the father could meet some friends in the bank B、the father likes to go to the store with the mother C、the father always felt bored when he went to the bank
(5)、The writer mainly wants to tell us that ______.
A、computers can always make our life easier B、the son can't ask the father to do anything in life C、We should keep relationships with others in life

     Have you ever had an embarrassing(尴尬的)experience? Last week we asked readers to tell us about embarrassing experiences.  We received thousands of letters! Here is a selection.
Tony:
     My most embarrassing experience happened when I had just left university. I had just started teaching in a Liverpool secondary school. One morning my alarm clock didn't ring. I woke up at half past eight and school began at nine. I quickly washed, dressed, jumped into my car and rushed to school. When I arrived, the students had already gone into class. I didn't go to the office, but went straight into class. After two or three minutes the students began laughing, and I couldn't understand why! Suddenly I looked down and understood. I had put on one black shoe and one brown shoe!
Henry:
    The most embarrassing experience I've ever had, happened two years ago. After seeing a film, my wife and I had lunch in our favourite restaurant in town. Then we decided to take a walk along the street. The street was very busy and we started holding hands. Suddenly my wife saw a dress that she liked in a shop window, and stopped. I started looking at some watches in the next window. After a minute or two I reached for my wife's hand. There was a loud scream, and a woman slapped my face. I hadn't taken my wife's hand. I'd taken the hand of a complete stranger!
James:
    My wife and I had decided to buy a new house, and I'd made an appointment to see our bank manager. I'd never met him before. I went into town in my car and I was lucky enough to find a parking space outside the bank. I'd just started reversing(倒车) into the space when another car made its way into it. I was irritated! I opened my window and shouted at the man in the car. He ignored me and walked away. It took me twenty minutes to find another place. As soon as I had parked the car, I rushed back to the bank. I was ten minutes late for my appointment. I went to the manager's office, knocked and walked in. The manager was sitting behind his desk. He was the man who had taken my parking space!

 阅读下面短文,根据短文内容选择正确答案。

When I was eight years old,my family moved from Edinburgh to London because my father started a new job here. The new place was far away from my grandmother,so we sometimes spent a couple of hours driving to Edinburgh to visit her when we missed her terribly. Her house was hundreds of miles away but the trip was never boring. 

Grandma never had much. She didn't have expensive things,or live in a nice house. But I could feel with my heart that she loved us deeply,especially when my world was turned upside down two years later. Grandma knew that my mother and father divorced and I lived with my father. I would actually like to live with my mother. 

I still remember those little things. Grandma allowed me to sit on the top of her kitchen table,getting me to dip(蘸)my fingers in the sugar bowl or drink from her coffee cup. Grandma had a beautiful bottle high on a shelf. One day after her death,I received a box. To my surprise,I found the bottle inside. She remembered once I had asked her for it. 

Grandma saved her pennies in a glass jar(罐). She could have used those pennies herself but she kept them for my brother Tommie and me. And I was always excited to divide the pennies between my brother and me. "One for you,one for me. " I would repeat until the jar was empty. I don't remember how much we got on our visits,but I know that's how she loved us and cared about us when we were far away from her. So if I am lucky enough to find a penny lying on the ground one day. I am sure it is just the one from Grandma in heaven(天堂). 

Those childhood memories have never gone away from me. Instead,they still give me great feelings through the years. A Grandma's love stays with a grandchild as long as he needs it. You know,love is just like that.
