One year ago. I asked a worker to help me repair my old house. He had a bad first day on the job: his car broke on the way, then he found he had left his tools for work at home and his wife telephoned to say his son had a bad cold. While I drove him home, he was silent all the way. When arriving, he invited me to meet his family.
As we walked towards the front door, he stopped at a small tree, and touched the tree with hands. When we opened the door, I was very surprised to see he changed into another person and there was a big smile on his face instead. He hugged (擁抱) his son and gave his wife a kiss.
After a while, when he walked me to the car, I asked him why he had touched the tree just then. "Oh, that's my trouble tree," he answered.  "Sometimes I have troubles on my job, but one thing is for sure, they don't belong to my wife and my son. So I just hang up (懸掛) the troubles on the tree every night when I come home. Then in the morning I pick them up. "
“The funny thing is," he smiled, "when I come out in the morning to pick them up, I hardly remember what I put the night before. "
根據(jù)短文內(nèi)容，回答下列問(wèn)題。（10分）
小題1:How was the worker's firs day?
小題2: Where did the worker stop as they walked towards the front door?
小題3: What did the worker call the tree?
小題4: When did the worker pick up the troubles every day?
小題5: Did the worker remember fewer troubles the next morning?

小題1:Bad. / It was bad. / He had a bad day. / His first day was bad. / The worker's first day was bad.
小題2: The worker stopped at a small tree. / He stopped at a small tree. / At a small tree. / A small tree.

Hi! My name is Robert and I live in Chicago. My school is called Parkside Elementary.  It is Jake and Elizabeth’s school too.  Michael and Trevor’s school is called Lincoln Middle School.  In the USA many students go to elementary school between the ages of 5-10, then middle school between the ages of 11-13, and then a four year high school, and last but not least, many people go to college or vocational school. Our elementary school starts at 8:30 am and ends at 3:20 pm. We go to school on Monday through Fridays and have the weekends off.
Some of the favorite sports here in America are basketball, baseball, football, soccer, hockey, and more. But, my favorite sport is football. My favorite player in the NFL (National Football League) is Brian Urlacher of the Chicago Bears ( the Bears are my favorite team too).
Americans wear jeans, a shirt, socks, shoes, and sometimes a hat. I usually wear a baseball hat, my favorite pants, and my favorite shirt. My pants have 4 pockets on it, and my shirt has red and black stripes on it.
There is no common agreement in the west about the best method of education. Many views can be found among parents, teachers, and students.

小題1:Students in elementary school stay at school for about ________days.
A．four B．five C．six D．seven

I love it at night. It’s peaceful. And when it cools down I sometimes do some ironing. I don’t really care for it. I work full-time and I am too busy for most housework. I remember the old woman who taught me to iron. I was about 15 and I had to get a job taking care of a woman to make a living. She had been an able-bodied, healthy woman until the accident that caused her to be paralyzed.
The woman sat in an electric wheelchair all day. She could only move her head and arms. She would tell me how to do things. She would teach me in great detail on the correct ways to do things. Her home was perfect and beautiful. She would follow me around in her electric wheelchair to make sure I did everything exactly right. I’m sure she had been a perfect homemaker. She would have me fold(折疊) everything, including socks. I would complain silently and wish terrible things on her. She taught me the right way to make the bed. I know sometimes she’d get frustrated(沮喪) and impatient with me. I knew she wanted to do it herself. But she never shouted or scolded. She only insisted I do it right. I didn’t like it much, but I did it.
Today I can iron pretty well. I know where to start on a shirt and the right way to do the trousers. Now when I think about it, I don’t think she is an old lady. I think she might have been about my age now. Anyway, when I iron, I think of her and silently thank her for all the things I learned.
小題1:The writer used to take care of the lady because ________.
A．she wanted to learn to do housework
B．she was a friend of the lady’s
C．she had to earn some money
D．she couldn’t find a room to live in
小題2:The underlined word ‘paralyzed’ in the first paragraph may mean ‘______’.
A．destroyedB．deafC．seriously illD．unable to walk
小題3:The little girl was ______ when the lady taught her how to do housework.
A．encouraged to learnB．unwilling to learn
C．delighted to learnD．recommended to learn
小題4:Now the writer ______.
A．is still afraid of the ladyB．hates the strict lady
C．a(chǎn)dmires the disabled ladyD．is very grateful to the lady
