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】．
【1】本句为复合句。sit，count作并列谓语。Papa had brought home是定语从句，修饰the money。
“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 heads .
“I will work in Dillon’s grocery after school，” Nels volunteered .
Mama gave him a bright smile and wrote down a number.“That’s not enough，”Papa said.Then he took his pipe out of his mouth and looked at it for a long time.“I will give up smoking ，” he said suddenly.
Mama reached across the table and touched Papa’s arm.Then she wrote down another figure .
“I will look after 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 downtown and draw money out of 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 operation ...Whatever happened，we always knew we still had the Bank to depend upon【2】．
【2】本句为复合句。whatever引导让步状语从句。we still had the Bank to depend upon是宾语从句，省略that。
That was twenty years ago.
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)

【提 能 练】
Ⅰ.阅读理解
A
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.
His parents started worrying about the boy.But even they did not know what was wrong with him.So his dad decided to travel to the boarding school and talk with him.
They sat on the bank of the lake near the school.The father started asking him casual questions about his classes，teachers and sports.After some time his dad said，“Do you know，son，why I am here today？”
The boy answered back，“to check my grades？”
“No，no，” his dad replied，“I am here to tell you that you are the most important person for me.I want to see you happy.I don’t care about grades.I care about you.I care about your happiness.YOU ARE MY LIFE.”
These words caused the boy’s eyes to fill with tears.He hugged his dad.They didn’t say anything to each other for a long time.
Now the boy had everything he wanted.He knew there was someone on this earth who cared for him deeply.He meant the world to someone.And today this young man is in college at the top of his class and no one has ever seen him sad!
Thanks a lot，Dad.YOU ARE MY LIFE.
【语篇解读】　本文是记叙文。文章主要介绍一个男孩自从上了寄宿学校后成绩一直下降，自己也感到很孤独，甚至一度想自杀。爸爸的一番话让他重新振作。这篇文章告诉我们不能忽视关爱的力量。
1．The father went to the boarding school to ________．
A．know if his son was still the best student
B．find out what was wrong with his son
C．ask some questions about his son’s classmates
D．talk with his son’s teacher about his grades
答案　B　[细节理解题。根据第二段可知，男孩的父母很担心他，但又不知道他到底遇到了什么问题，所以父亲决定到学校跟他谈一谈。]
2．If we say the questions are “casual”，we mean they are ________．
A．unimportant B．strange
C．special D．difficult
答案　A　[词义猜测题。根据画线部分后面的内容“about his classes，teachers and sports”可知，是关于班级，老师，运动的不重要的问题。]
3．Why were the boy’s eyes filled with tears when he heard what his father said
A．Because his father didn’t care about his grades any more.
B．Because he hadn’t had a talk with his father for a long time.
C．Because he had a chance to say his worries.
D．Because he was deeply moved by his father’s words.
答案　D　[细节理解题。根据“These words caused the boy’s eyes to fill with tears.”和“Now the boy had everything...the world to someone.”可知，父亲与儿子的交谈正是儿子内心里最需要的，他知道了在这个世界上有人一直在深爱着他、关爱着他。故可知是因为父亲的话让男孩眼里噙满泪水。]
4．The passage mainly tells us ________．
A．never to send a small boy to a boarding school
B．never to care too much about a student’s grades
C．never to pay no attention to the power of caring
D．never to miss the chance to say thanks to our fathers
答案　C　[推理判断题。根据倒数第二段可知，男孩知道在世界上有人关心他以后成绩又名列前茅，也就是说我们不能忽视关爱的力量。]
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.
A．People like English.
B．But it hasn’t become popular.
C．It has brought its language with it.
D．There is no doubt about the question.
E．This is why English was widely spoken.
F．It has become the new international language.
G．There are many reasons why English has become so popular.
【语篇解读】　本文是说明文。主要分析了英语作为国际语言流行的原因及对未来可能流行的语言作了预测。
1．F　[根据第一段的前两句可知，大约一百年前很多有学问的人学习法语，并且在见到来自其他国家的人时说法语，现在大部分人见到外国人时说英语。由此可推知，英语已经成了新的国际性语言。]
2．G　[承接上文“Why is this？”，并结合本段中的“One of them is”和“Another important reason is”可推知，此空表述英语流行有诸多原因。]
3．C　[承接上文美国文化在全球的流行可知，它的语言也随之而来。]
4．D　[承接上文的疑问句，并结合下文的肯定陈述“It’s important to have a language that the people of the earth have in common”可知，此处是表示英语在全世界的传播是一件好事。]
5．B　[结合下文“Maybe the popularity of English won’t last that long either”可知，B项“但是它并没有流行起来”符合语境，衔接上下文。]Unit 2　Let’s talk teens --Extended reading & Project
