原文呈现

Mama and Her Bank Account①

Every Saturday night Mama would sit② down by the kitchen table and count out the money Papa had brought home【1】．

“For the rent③.” Mama would count out the big silver pieces.

“For the groceries④.” Another group of coins.

“I’ll need a notebook.” That would be my sister Christine，my brother Nels or me.

Mama would put one or two coins to the side⑤.We would watch with anxious interest.At last，Papa would ask，“Is that all？” And when Mama nodded，we could relax a little⑥.Mama would look up and smile，“Good.We do not have to go to the Bank.” We were all so proud of⑦Mama’s Bank Account.It gave us such a warm，secure⑧ feeling.

When Nels graduated⑨ from grammar school，he wanted to go on to high school.“It will cost a little money，” he said.

Eagerly we gathered around the table.I took down a box and laid it carefully in front of Mama.This was the “Little Bank”．It was used for sudden emergencies⑩，such as the time when Christine broke her arm and had to be taken to a doctor.

Nels listed the costs of the things he would need.Mama counted out the money in the Little Bank.There was not enough.“We do not want to go to the Bank，”she reminded.We all shook our heads⑪.

“I will work in Dillon’s grocery after school，” Nels volunteered⑫.

Mama gave him a bright smile and wrote down⑬ a number.“That’s not enough，”Papa said.Then he took his pipe⑭ out of his mouth and looked at it for a long time.“I will give up smoking⑮，” he said suddenly.

Mama reached across the table and touched Papa’s arm.Then she wrote down another figure⑯.

“I will look after⑰ the Elvington children every Friday night，”I said.“Christine can help me.”

Now there was enough money.We all felt very good because we did not have to go downtown⑱and draw money out of⑲ Mama’s Bank Account.

So many things came out of the Little Bank that year：Christine’s dress for the school play，my little sister Dagmar’s operation⑳...Whatever happened，we always knew we still had the Bank to depend upon【2】．

Last year I sold my first story.When the check came，I hurried over to Mama’s and put it in her lap.“For you，” I said，“to put in your Bank Account.”

I noticed for the first time how old Mama and Papa looked.Papa seemed shorter，and Mama’s hair was silver now.

“Tomorrow，” I told Mama，“you must take it to the Bank.”

“You will go with me，Katrin？”

“That won’t be necessary.Just hand it to the teller.He’ll pay it into your account.”

Mama looked at me.“There is no account，” she said.“In all my life，I’ve never been inside a bank.”

And when I didn’t—couldn’t—answer，Mama said seriously，“It is not good for little ones to be afraid—to not feel secure.”

(Adapted from Kathryn Forbes’s Mama’s Bank Account，which has 17 short storiesand describes the struggles and dreams of a family in San Francisco in the early 1990s)

There was a boy in India who was sent by his parents to a boarding school.Before being sent away this boy was the brightest student in his class.He was at the top in every competition.He was a champion.But the boy changed after leaving home and attending the boarding school.His grades started dropping.He hated being in a group.He was lonely all the time.And there were especially dark times when he felt like killing himself.All  of  this  was because  he  felt worthless and that no one loved him.

Ⅱ.七选五

About one hundred years ago many educated people learned and spoke French when they met people from other countries.Today most people speak English when they meet foreigners.__1__There are more people who speak English as a second language than people who speak English as a first language.Why is this?

__2__ One of them is that English has become the language of business.Another important reason is that popular American culture (like movies and music) has quickly spread throughout the world.__3__

Is it good that English has spread to all parts of the world so quickly？__4__It’s important to have a language that the people of the earth have in common.Our world has become very global and we need to communicate with one another.On the other hand，English is a fairly complicated language to learn and it brings its culture with it.Do we really need that?

Scientists have already tried to create an artificial language that isn’t too difficult and doesn’t include any group’s culture.It is called Esperanto.__5__ Maybe the popularity of English won’t last that long either.There are more people in the world who speak Chinese than any other language.Maybe some day Chinese will be the new international language.

B．But it hasn’t become popular.

C．It has brought its language with it.
