一、中考英语阅读理解训练 1．阅读理解
I opened the door. "Where are you going, Mom?" my elder son asked me. And his little brother asked, "Can we come, too?" "I"m going for a coffee," I answered. "And no, you can"t come." Then I ran away before they could say something. But the guilt（内疚的）
feelings slowly went away.
Being a mom is hard work. There"s always something new to do to make my kids happy. Sometimes, I need to do something just for me. It teaches my kids an important lesson: I matter, too.
I know parenting articles often tell us it"s OK to take time for ourselves. But it"s so much harder to walk the talk. Of course, we should put ourselves first sometimes. And not just when we are sick. I"m talking about putting ourselves first in other ways. For example, tell the baby that after thirty minutes of reading to them, you are going to read your own book or eat at your favorite restaurant. These selfish moments are good ways to teach our children that we are important too.
When you ask my kids "What does mom like?" They can answer with some of my interests and favorite things: reading books, watching movies, taking care of animals and them. They often see me do the things I enjoy, so they understand me and would stay with Dad. This understanding is good for our children. "She"s a mom" shouldn"t be the only way your child describes you. If it is, it"s time to be a little selfish, Moms.

A. She had little time left that day.

（3）Why do the women"s kids know her favorites?
A. They have the same interests.
B. They often do things together.
C. They often see what she"s doing.
D. Their dad tells them about her interests.
（4）What"s the purpose of the passage? To tell Moms______________.

I often hear some students say English is difficult, and it gives them a headache. So they can"t learn it well. But English is very easy for me. I"m good at it. I"m very glad to tell you something about how I study English.
First, I think an interest in English is very important. When I was in Grade One, we had a new subject-English. It was fresh to me. I became interested in it, so I worked hard at it. Soon we had an English exam and I got a very good mark. How happy I was! Since then, I have been learning English harder and harder. Our English teacher often taught us English songs, and the songs sounded nice. I often think how interesting English is!
Second, English is another language different from our Chinese. We should learn it in the following ways: Listen to the teacher carefully in class, speak bravely, read aloud and have a larger and larger vocabulary, and then practice again and again. And I have a good habit: whenever I have a question, I must make it clear by asking our English teacher. How happy I am when I understand it!
Besides, I often read English stories, jokes and easy novels. From these I know English is not only interesting, but also useful. They help me understand a lot of things. So, to do more reading is an important way to learn English well.
And I also do some exercises in our workbooks, and I keep English diaries. English has become a close friend of mine.
Now I have learned English for more than two years. I am always in the first place in our class. Of course, I hope every classmate of mine can learn English well, too.

One day in 2012, a 13-year-old boy with a broken bike walked by Mick"s house. "I was working in my garage（车库）; and he asked if I could fix it," says Mick, now 53.
The boy"s bike had a broken wheel. Mick sent a post（帖子）
on Facebook, asking his friends if they had the needed part. One friend saw the post and gave away two used bikes. Mick took parts from each to build a new set of wheels for the boy.
Soon after, Mick repaired a bike for the boy"s brother and fixed one for his sister. Word spread, and during the year, he had fixed up lots of bikes for local kids whose parents were not able to afford new ones.
"People are throwing away bikes day and night," says Mick.
Mick puts the bikes and bike parts in his garage. "I take off the good tires or the handlebars or the seats and use them," he says.
Up to now, the bike man has repaired hundreds of bikes and given away nearly 700 newly repaired bikes. They"re free, but the kids must agree on two things: They have to learn how to put waste things to good use and they have to try their best to study in school.
If a kid"s grades are low, Mick requires a teacher"s note "saying that you"re doing your best". Mick also hopes the bikes will get kids off the sofa. "When I was growing up, we all rode our bikes," he says. "Hopefully these kids can get some exercise."

Vanuatu is an island nation in the South West Pacific. It is one of the smallest countries in the world. But for those who are interested in adventure and sports, there is a lot to do. Vanuatu"s islands offer visitors two of the most exciting and dangerous activities in the world: volcano（火山）

Volcano Surfing On Tanna Island, Mount Yasur rises 361 metres into the sky. Yasur is an active volcano, and it erupts（爆发）

It"s fast, fun and dangerous- the perfect extreme sport（极限运动）.
Land Diving Most people are familiar with bungee jumping, but do you know bungee jumping started on Pentecost Island in Vanuatu and is almost fifteen centuries old? The activity, first called land diving, is part of a religious ceremony（宗教仪式）. A man ties tree vines（树藤）

A few days ago, I ran into a stranger as he passed by. I said sorry to him. And we were very polite. Then we went on our way after saying goodbye.
Later in the kitchen at home, as I cooked our meal, my daughter Betty walked up to me. When I turned around, I nearly knocked her down. "Get out of the way!" I shouted angrily. She ran away, crying.
That night, when I lay in bed, my husband said to me, "You were so rude to Betty. Go and look around on the kitchen floor, and you"ll find some flowers there. Betty brought those for you. She picked them herself—pink, yellow, and your favorite blue."
When I heard this, I thought deeply, "While meeting with a stranger, I was calm and polite, but
with my daughter, I was not patient." I felt sad and tears began to fall.
I quietly went to Betty"s bed, "Wake up, my dear!" I said. "Are these the flowers you picked for me?" She smiled, "I found them by the tree. I know you like them, especially the blue ones." I said, "I am so sorry that I treated you that way today." And she whispered （悄声说）, "Mommy, that"s okay. I still love you anyway." I kissed her and said, "I love you, too and 1 do love the flowers."
That day Betty gave me a lesson on how to get along with each other in the family. I spent much time on work and didn"t realize how important family life was. I decided to do better in the future.
