                                                                 The Pillow
     At the age of sixteen, I joined a volunteer group with my dad. I went on my First volunteer project in
West Virginia. On the night we arrived, we discovcrcd that "our family" was living in a trailer (拖車) that
was in poor condition. A crew had been working on it for two weeks, but every time they finished one
problem, another surfaced.
     We decided the only reasonable solution was to build a new house-something unusual but necessary
under these circumstances. The family was overjoyed with their new house that was twenty by thirty feet
with three bedrooms, a bath and a kitchen.
     On Tuesday of that week, while we ate lunch together, I asked the family's three boys, Josh, Eric and
Ryan, "What do you want for your new room?" Expecting toys and other gadgets that children usually ask
for, we were astonished when Josh respondcd, "I just want a bed."
     The boys had never slept in a bed! They were accustomed to plastic mats. That night we had a meeting
and decided that beds would be the perfect gift. On Thursday night.a few adults in our group drove to the
nearest city and bought beds and new bedding.
     When we saw the delivery truck coming, we told the family about the surprise. We could hardly contain
ourselves. It was like watching excited children on Christmas morning.
     That afternoon, as we fitted the frames of the beds together, Eric ran into the house to watch us. Too
dirty to enter his room, he observed with wide-eyed enthusiasm from the doorway.
     As my father slipped a pillowcase onto one of the pillows, Eric asked, "What is that?"
     "A pillow," he replied.
     "What do you do with it?" Eric continued to ask. "When you go to sleep, you put your head on it, "I
answered softly. Tears came to my eyes as my father handed Eric the pillow.
     "Oh-that's soft," he said, hugging it tightly.
     Now, when my sister or I start to ask for something that seems urgent, my dad gently asks, "Do you
have a pillow?" We know exactly what he means.
1. The writer's first volunteer project was _____.

I had the meanest mother in the whole world. While other kids ate candy for breakfast, I had to have cereal, eggs or toast. While others had Cokes and candy for lunch, I had to eat a sandwich. As you can guess, my supper was different from the other kids’ too. But at least, I wasn’t alone in my sufferings. My sister and two brothers had the same mean mother as I did.

My mother insisted upon knowing where we were at all times. She had to know who our friends were and where we were going. She insisted if we said we’d be gone an hour, then we should be gone one hour or less -- not one hour and one minute. And she always insisted upon us telling the truth. Now you can see how mean she was.

The worst is yet to come. We had to be in bed by nine each night and up at eight the next morning. We couldn’t sleep till noon like our friends. So while they slept - my mother actually had the courage to break the Child Labor Law. She made us work. We had to wash dishes, make beds, and learn to cook. We had to wear clean clothes and take a bath every day. The other kids always wore their clothes for days. We reached the height of disgrace because she made our clothes herself, just to save money. I believe she laid awake at night thinking up mean things to do to us.

Through the years, things didn’t improve a bit. We could not lie in bed “sick” like our friends did, and miss school. Our marks in school had to live up to expectations. Our friends’ report cards had beautiful colors on them, black for passing, red for failing. My mother, being as different as she was, would be satisfied with nothing less than ugly black marks.

As the years rolled by, first one and then the other of us was put to shame. We graduated from high school. With our mother behind us, talking, hitting and demanding respect, none of us was allowed the pleasure of being a drop-out.

My mother was a complete failure as a mother. Out of four children, a couple of us attained some higher education. None of us have ever been arrested or divorced. Each of my brothers served his time in the service of this country. She forced us to grow up into God-fearing, educated, honest adults. I am now trying to raise my three children. I am filled with pride when my children call me mean. Why? Because now I thank God every day for giving me the meanest mother in the whole world.

1.The author’s mother wanted her children to _________.

A. do their best at school and be educated and respected citizens

B. be top students in school and graduate with honors  

C. stop seeing her friends who pretended to be sick to skip classes

A. The author has a deep hatred for her mother.

B. The author’s mother set timetables for her children whenever they went out.

C. Some of the children weren’t able to go to college because of their mean mother.

D.As a parent, the author is following her mother’s example.

3.It can be inferred from the passage that________.                                                                                                                                                                                                       

A. All the other kids at school studied better than the author.
