江苏省常熟市2020-2021学年高一下学期英语期中考试试卷
I grew up in a small town where the primary school was a 10-minute walk from my house and children could go home for lunch and find their mothers waiting. At the time, I did not consider this a luxury (奢侈品), although today it certainly would be. I took it for granted that mothers were the sandwich-makers, the finger-painting appreciations and the homework monitors.
I never questioned that this ambitious, intelligent woman, who had had a career before I was born and would eventually return to a career, would spend almost every lunch hour throughout my primary school years just with me. I only knew that when the noon bell rang, I would race breathlessly home. My mother would be standing at the top of the stairs, smiling down at me with a look that suggested I was the only important thing she had on her mind.
One lunchtime, when I was in the third grade, would stay with me always. I had been picked to be the princess in the school play, and for weeks my mother had patiently rehearsed (排练)my lines with me. But no matter how easily I acted them at home, as soon as I stepped on stage, every word disappeared from my head. Finally, my teacher took me aside. She explained that she had written a narrator's part (旁白)to the play, and asked me to switch roles. Her words, while kindly delivered, still stung (刺痛),especially when I saw my part go to another girl. I didn't tell my mother what had happened when I went home for lunch that day. But she sensed my unease, and instead of suggesting we practice my lines, she asked if I wanted to walk in the yard.
It was a lovely spring day and under the huge trees, we could see yellow dandelions (蒲公英) popping through the grass in bunches. I watched my mother bend down and pull a blossom up by its roots. She turned to me and said: "I think I'm going to dig up all these weeds. Then we'll have only roses in this garden." "But I like dandelions," I protested. "All flowers are beautiful-even dandelions." My mother looked at me seriously. "Yes, every flower gives pleasure in its own way, doesn't it?" She asked thoughtfully. "And that is true of people too," she added, "Not everyone can be a princess, but there is no shame in that. Now, let's go inside and talk about the lines."
