26、 Grandpa moved in with us after Grandma passed away. He came to Canada from China, where he was a well-respected school headmaster.
I, a nine-year-old boy, never spoke much Chinese. Grandpa didn't speak much English, but we still connected in our own way.
One way we developed our relationship was over a game of Monopoly. He didn't really understand the rules or much of what my little brother and I said; I don't think it mattered. He laughed when he landed on our hotels. Or when he pulled a card that read: “GO TO JAIL.” He got a kick out of our amusement.
I think of Grandpa when I play the trading card game Yu-Gi-Oh! with my sons. I can't keep track of all the spells and effects involved in this game.
Truthfully, I don't care if I win or lose these games. What matters is spending time with my children and making an effort to understand their interests.
I often think about my kids. At how excitedly they explain rules and how they go easy on their old man. I imagine it's like how Grandpa felt playing Monopoly with us.
Grandpa went for regular walks. He also spent his days sitting on the couch, staring out the window and singing quietly. I often thought he was bored. But as I age, I find peace in taking moments to stare out a window. Maybe I got that from him.
What I learned from my grandfather was to enjoy simple pleasures in life. To see the beauty in the colors of the rainbow. To see a single leaf fall from a tree. To play Yu-Gi-Oh! with my sons.
【1】What happened to the writer and his grandfather during their game?
A.His grandfather seldom had fun while playing.
B.He grew impatient with his grandfather.
C.They learned to speak each other's language.
D.They grew closer by playing the game.
【2】What is the writer thinking when he stares out a window?
A.How wonderful it is to feel peace at heart.
B.How difficult it is to be a good parent.
C.How much he misses his grandfather.
D.How bored his grandfather was at that time.
【3】What is the writer's main purpose in writing this story?
A.To tell readers his grandfather's life story.
B.To encourage readers to spend more time with family.
C.To share how his grandfather influenced him.
D.To encourage older people to learn about kids' games.
27、While poetry matters a lot in our house, I know that not everybody is as readily moved by words as I am. That said, I think kids benefit when parents and caregivers help them experience the world through poetry.
Poetry is important for a child's development, according to psychologist Dianne Jandrasits. Adults can create a secure attachment with kids by actively reading with them,especially between the ages of 0 and 5, and the sound of poetry can make the process fun. Poetry, Jandrasits says. can help a child learn to understand someone else 's feelings. “For a young child,” she says. "it all starts with someone understanding your feelings. And that's where parents and caregivers come in."
Dave Lucas, a lecturer at Case Western Reserve University, says, “Poetry is that place where language is pleasure and not just communication." It's pretty simple. Poetry is music. It's about playing with language and sound. And kids love to play. Lucas talked about sharing poems with kindergartners, and how much kids love it when you tell them to just make some rhymes and be silly. “The problem, though, is that as kids get older, they lose that interest in playing with words. Kids get to school and have some negative experience with poetry. Either because it's inaccessible or boring, or it's too artsy (装艺术的).” Lucas says.
Gray-Kontar, like all the poets I spoke to, mentioned how important it is for caregivers to pay attention to what it is that their young person seems to like. whether it's a sport or some experience they're a part of, and then to select poems for them based on those interests. He suggests reaching out to a local librarian or looking up poetry readings online. The pandemic(大流行病) has been isolating for a lot of us, he says, but through poetry, we can connect with people we wouldn't necessarily meet.
【1】In what way can poetry help kids according to Jandrasits?
A.It can help them become more active.
B.It can help them hold their feelings back.
C.It can help them be independent of others.
D.It can help them become more understanding.
【2】What does Lucas insist on when it comes to teaching kids poetry?
A.Making it fun.
B.Reading it to music.
C.Explaining its rules.
D.Writing about silly things.
【3】What's Lucas's attitude towards schools' way of teaching poetry?
A.Uncertain.
B.Supportive.
C.Indifferent.
D.Dissatisfied.
【4】What docs Gray-Kontar advise caregivers to do?
A.Read kids poetry that's available online.
B.Develop kids' interest in different things.
C.Choose poetry that's in agreement with kids' hobbies.
D.Keep themselves informed of new poetry books.

32、阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
Valuable Lesson-My Favorite Superhero
After helping his mother Mary sweep, the street as usual, Jack waved goodbye to her and rushed to school. Reminding Jack of safety, Mary smiled and continued her work, with sweat streaming down. Weak and tired as she was, this brave woman still stuck to her job attentively.
In the classroom, Mrs. Evans asked her students to deliver a speech, themed My Favorite Superhero. As for the heated topic, the class got thrilled, hardly waiting to share their opinions. Finally, it came to Jack’s turn. “My favorite superhero.” Jack started to read in front of the class, then he stopped. He was nervous and felt a bit silly, because his classmates all talked about superheroes like Iron Man, Thor, and Wonder Woman while he was the only one who talked about a real person.
“Go on, Jack.” Mrs. Evans encouraged, nodding at him with smiling eyes.
“My favorite superhero is Mary, my mom.” the class burst into laughter. Jack smiled, too, and wet his lips, “You might laugh at me for saying something like that.” He turned calm and peaceful, “But my mom is the most hard-working person in the world. She is a street sweeper for the city, always getting up before sunrise to start her job. It’s her commitment that keeps the street spotless, just with a broom (扫把) and her heart. With autumn coming, I realized how hard it is and that a real superhero doesn’t wear a cape (斗篷) or go on adventures. Besides, she raised us three kids alone. She loves us in her way, and we can feel it. Though we’re short in money, we seem never lack anything. A real hero takes care of his family. I’m helping her before going to school and hope to grew up and be half the hero my mom is.Thank you.”
After the speech. silence spread in the classroom. It was evident that the entire class was moved by Jake’s speech and got speechless.
Finally, Mrs. Evans spoke. “That was fantastic. You teach us a mother’s bravery and love Your mom should be proud!” When returning to his seat, he received thumbs-up and admiring eyes from his classmates.
