Our neighbour's son was getting married at an out-of-town church, and my husband and I were invited. We immediately rushed out to a store, and I bought a nice pink dress with a jacket. The dress was a little tight, but I had a month to go before the June 30 wedding and I would lose a few pounds.

    June 29 came and, of course, I hadn't lost a single pound; in fact I had gained two. But I figured a nice new girdle (緊身內(nèi)衣) would cure everything. So on our way out of the city we stopped once again at the store. I ran in and told the clerk I needed a large-size girdle. The shop assistant found the box with the described girdle marked "LG", and asked if I would like to try it on. “Oh, no, a large will fit just right. I needn't try it on.”

The next morning was rather hot, so I waited to get dressed until about 45 minutes before time to go. I opened the box only to find a new girdle in a small size. Since it was too late to find another one and the dress wouldn't fit right without a girdle, a fight broke out in the hotel room between me and the girdle. Have you ever tried to shake 20 pounds of potatoes into a five-pound bag? That's it. Finally my husband, laughing like crazy, got hold of each side and shook me down into it. At once I put on the pink dress, which didn't match my red face well, and was ready to go.

Finally we got to the church. I heard one of the people say that they were having a High Mass. I turned to my husband and asked, "What is a High Mass?" He shrugged his shoulders.

Unfortunately, I learned that this particular mass would last one hour, twenty-two minutes and eight and one half seconds—the priest (神父) was going to bless everything except my girdle.

The author most probably bought a nice pink dress with a jacket ______.

  A. 4 weeks later    B. 4 weeks ago    C. a fortnight ago     D. a fortnight later

We have two daughters: Kristen is seven years old and Kelly is four. Last Sunday evening, we invited some people home for dinner. I dressed them nicely for the party, and told them that their job was to join Mommy in answering the door when the bell rang. Mommy would introduce them to the guests, and then they would take the guests’ coats upstairs and put them on the bed in the second bedroom.

The guests arrived. I introduced my two daughters to each of them. The adults were nice and kind and said how lucky we were to have such good kids.

Each of the guests liked Kelly more, the younger one, enjoying her dress, her hair and her smile. They said she was a unusual girl to be carrying coats upstairs at her age.

I thought to myself that we adults usually make a big “to do” over the younger one because she’s the one who seems more easily hurt. We do it with the best of intentions.

But we seldom think of how it might affect（影響） the other child. I was a little worried that Kristen would feel she was being paid no attention. I was about to serve dinner when I realized that she had been missing for twenty minutes. I ran upstairs and found her in the bedroom, crying. I said, “What are you doing here, my dear?”

She turned to me with a sad expression and said,” Mommy, why don’t people like me the way they like my sister? Is it because I’m not pretty? Why don’t they say nice things about me as much?”

I tried to explain to her, kissing and hugging（擁抱） her to make her feel better.

Now whenever I visit a friend’s home. I make it a point to speak to the elder child first.

1.The underlined expression “make a big ‘to do’ over” (paragraph 4) means_______.

A．show much concern about                B．have a special effect on

C．list jobs to be done for                   D．do good things for

2.We can conclude from the passage that_______.

A．parents should pay more attention to the elder children

B．the younger children are usually more easily hurt

C．people usually like the younger children more

D．a(chǎn)dults should treat children equally

3.Kristen felt sad and cried because_______.

A．the guests gave her more coats to carry

B．she didn't look as pretty as Kelly

C．the guests enjoyed her sister more than her

D．her mother didn’t introduce her the guests
