Question

 When I was 11,I threw a glance into Dad’s lunch box and made the unexpected discovery that my mother still showed her love towards my father. The evidence,a napkin resting on top of the sandwiches packed in wax paper,was certain “Love you!” she had written on the napkin. “Meat loaf for supper!”

  Mum penned all kinds of messages to Dad on those paper napkins,and he saved a whole pile of them. What embarrassed me as a kid has become a precious memory of my parents.

  It also started my own brand of lunch box notes. When my kids were young,I’d glue little drawings on their lunches. Lots of sketches (素描) of our dog,Max,along with smiling flowers. When they were teenagers,I’d copy words of wisdom from great people,Einstein,for example,or Bruce Springsteen. Then,my kids grew up making their own handwritten notes. And my husband writes me love notes on recycled paper,because he’s all about being green.

  Friends who know about my lunch box notes eagerly share stories of their own family traditions. So many focus on food. Maura’s mum always drew hearts on the shells of hard-boiled eggs. Melinda wrote messages on her kids’ bananas.

  We’re into the third generation of lunch box notes in our home. Whenever my 3-year-old grandson,Clayton,spends the night,he knows his lunch is going to have a napkin note from Grandma in the morning. Last week,I drew a picture of me,waving widely and shouting his name. He took one look at it and screamed, “Where’s Grandpa?” I added a man in a clean shirt. “You forgot his tie”’ he said. 1 quickly drew a line of stripes (條紋) down the front of the shirt. Clayton smiled. “Grandpa ,” he whispered,running his fingers across the napkin. “It’s you!”

Answer 1

[文章大意]本文是一篇記敘文。文章講述了自己小時候看到媽媽在餐巾紙上給爸爸寫愛語，然后到自己做了媽媽，給孩子的午餐盒上寫名言，又到了自己的外孫，這種愛的傳達也得到了繼續(xù)。

1. D細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第二段提到"Mum penned all kinds of messages to Dad on those paper napkins,and he saved a whole pile of them. What embarrassed me as a kid has become a precious memory of my parents."可知媽媽在餐巾紙上寫了各種各樣的信息給爸爸，爸爸收藏了起來，作為一個小孩子來說，她感到尷尬的這些事都是父母珍貴的記憶，故選D項。

2. C細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第三段提到"When they were teenag?ers,I'd copy words of wisdom from great people,Einstein..."

可知當(dāng)孩子到了青少年階段，"我"會寫一些名人的名言，如愛因斯坦的，故選C項。

3. A推理判斷題。根據(jù)第三段提到"And my husband writes me love notes on recycled paper,because he's all about being green."可知"我"的丈夫會在再生環(huán)保紙上寫愛"我"的話，因為他是環(huán)保主義者，故選A項。

4. D主旨大意題。本文講述自己小時候看到媽媽在餐巾紙上給爸爸寫愛語，然后到自己做了媽媽，給孩子的午餐盒上寫名言，又到了自己的外孫，這種愛的傳達也得到了繼承，故選D項。
