My parents knew their wealth: each other, their six children, and their faith. They tried to live simple lives so that they could have time for what was most important.

They didn’t busy themselves buying a bigger house, because that would mean working harder to pay the monthly mortgage(按揭貸款)，working overtime or taking second job. Who would go running with me then? Who would read stories to me?

They didn’t burden themselves with buying an expensive car because that would mean worrying about installment(分期付款) bills. Besides, walking to the shopping centre every Saturday afternoon with me gave my dad his needed exercise, and made me feel so special.

One of my heart’s delights was seeing Dad and Mom in their bedroom at night, after our nightly family prayer. The lights were turned off, and I’d see the figure of my father seated on his old chair and Mom standing behind him, gently massaging(按摩) his shoulders. I’d hear them talk about what happened during their day. Even as a child, I sensed their quiet pleasure in being together.

My question today: Could they have done this rich ritual(儀式) each night and nourished(滋潤) their marriage if they had been busy paying for expensive clothes for themselves or their kids, or if they had been worrying about monthly bills for new hi-tech equipment? I don’t think so. And I’ve made a choice: I don’t want that of life either.

1.Which of the following is TRUE about the author’s family?

A. There were six people in the family.

B. They decided to buy a bigger house.

C. They lived an easy and happy life.

D. They had a second-hand car.

2.What did the parents regularly do with the author?

A. They wrote stories together.

B. They read newspapers together.

C. They regularly took exercise together.

D. They went shopping together each day.

3. The author believed that his/her parents’ happiness was due to(由于, 歸功于)

A. their attitude towards life

B. their love for each other

C. their common interests

D. their ability to communicate with each other

4. It can be inferred from the last paragraph that the author __________.

A. got bored with his/her parents’ way of educating kids

B. was influenced by his/her parents’ lifestyle

C. didn’t want to follow his/her parents’ advice

D. didn’t want to live the same life as his/her parents
