浙江省2014高考英语考前最后押题 阅读理解专练(含答案)
阅读理解专项练习（一）Whatever your reasons are for buying a used TV, there are a few things that you should keep in mind.Why is the used TV put up for sale? Does the owner put it up for sale because it broke down? Does he sell it because the picture is not good enough? Or does he do that just because he got bored of it and bought a new one for himself? These are questions that must be answered before you consider buying a used TV. If the owner is selling it because he found a defect (瑕疵) with the TV, even if the defect was mended, you should stay away from such television sets.The price of a second-hand television set depends on a number of factors, such as the time gap between its buying and selling date, the presence or absence of special features, the model and brand of the TV. For example, a TV that has been used for a year and put up for sale will be more expensive than one which was used for more than five years and put up for sale. Narrow your choices down on the basis of your preferences, and then check if it is worth it.Once you have decided on the model, brand, and pric e of the TV, start testing different sets. Getting a clear picture on the screen is a basic necessity, and should not be compromised upon. If you are buying an LCD or an LED TV, check for factors like resolution (分辨率), color, video quality and so on, and make sure you like what you see. Some television sets have screens that develop a picture with spots all over it. It goes without saying that you should steer clear of such television sets.The audio is as important as the video. Gone are the days when silent movies were popular. It wouldn’t be any fun to watch a basketball match without being able to listen to the loud applause of the audience, or watch a movie without being able to hear the dialogues. Obviously, there is no point in buying a television set bigger than the wall you intend to hang it on. Also, if the room in which you intend to place the TV is big enough, then buying a television with low-level volumes, a smaller screen, and less clear pictures would kill the purpose of watching television and not let you enjoy it to the fullest. Also, keep in mind the size of your room. A TV with a big screen can be a problem for rooms that are small. Remember, there should be at least 6-10 feet of space between the TV and the spot from where you intend to watch it.Are you planning on creating a home theater? Or is it going to be hung in the bedroom? Based on all these considerations, narrow your choices down and then decide which television set suits your requirements the best. A TV for the bedroom can have low-level sound, but the one you need for your home theater should have good-quality sound with surround sound effects.Watching TV should be a treat for your eyes and senses. Don’t let unclear pictures or broken sounds ruin your e xperience.1. By asking a series of questions in Paragraph 2, the writer mainly intends to indicate that .A. the reasons why the seller sells the TV are very importantB. the real value of a second-hand television is questionableC. a second-hand television is certainly worth purchasingD. there are many reasons why people buy used televisi ons2. What does the underlined part “steer clear of” in Paragraph 4 mean?A. Keep out of.B. Look down upon.C. Stay away from.D. Pay attention to.3. A basketball match is mentioned in Paragraph 5 to tell buyers to pay attention to a second-hand television’s .A. priceB. pictureC. sizeD. sound4. The size of a TV you buy depends on .A. the price of the TVB. where you want to put itC. your preferenceD. your budget for the TV5. The purpose of the passage is to .A. |tell readers how to buy a suitable second-hand televisionB. encourage readers to buy second-hand televisionsC. show the writer’s experience in buying used televisionsD. list the reasons why people buy second-hand televisions（二）Five-year-old Sally stood nervously in front of her kindergarten class with Bella, my trained dog, sitting calmly by her side. Her classmates focused on Sally, waiting for her to speak. It was June —only one week of school left —but they had never heard her voice. Not once.Sally had selective mutism, an anxiety disorder that made her freeze up in social situations. She’d been so excited about putting on a dog show for her class. She had practiced with Bella and me for weeks. Now her eyes found mine. I nodded encouragingly. She took a deep breath and opened her mouth. But not a word came out. Sally stood off to the side, head down. I felt awful.I’m a nurse and use Bella to help children in my community to bring them joy, comfort and confidence the wa y only a dog can. I thought back to when I’d first brought Bella to the school.That morning in January, the counselor (指导老师) led us to an office. “Sally hasn’t spoken outside her home in two years,” the counselor told me. “Her parents have taken her to doctors, but nothing has worked.” A little girl stood shyly just inside the doorway. Her eyes brightened when she noticed my dog.“This is Isabella Rose. I call her Bella,” I said. “Would you like to pet her? She doesn’t know anyone here and she’d like to meet you. She can play tricks. Would you like to see?”Sally nodded. I moved my hand. Bella lay down and then rolled over. Sally’s eyes cheered up.“She’ll do it for you too,” I said. “I can teach you.”We visited the school once a week. I showed Sally the hand signals for various commands. She was good at communicating with Bella, maybe because she couldn’t rely on spoken words herself. Bella sensed that and responded. Soon Sally was able to take Bella through herpaces all on her own.One morning in March when she was working with Bella, I heard a tiny voice, barely a whisper, “Good dog.” Sally didn’t take her eyes off Bella, but I wanted to jump for joy. Sally spoke a little more each week, only to Bella at first, but then to me. She started giving voic e commands with her hand signals and her confidence rose. Still, she hadn’t spoken in class and the school year was about to end.Sally returned to her seat, not looking at anyone, not even Bella.The next week, the last of the school year, Sally met us a t the door of our room. “I want to try again,” she said before I even said hello.“Are you sure?” I asked. “You don’t want to wait till next school year?”“No,” she said. “Today, I can do it.”She looked up at me, her face determined. Bella, who’d parked h erself beside her friend, wore a matching expression. “Great!” I said. We headed to Sally’s classroom. The kids were sitting in a circle on the floor listening to the teacher. They turned when we arrived. We walked to the front of the now quiet room. I squ eezed Sally’s hand and stepped back. For a few seconds that seemed like hours, she stood silently, staring at her classmates. Finally she whispered, “This is Isabella Rose.” Then, a little louder, “Isabella Rose.”The kids clapped. The whole class cheered.Sally took a bow, just like we’d practiced. I followed her and Bella back to our room. There was a leap to Sally’s step that I hadn’t seen before, a lightness that came from breaking free from her fear. “I had an AWESOME day!” she declared, with a huge s mile on her face.1. The underlined part “freeze up” in Paragraph 2 is closest in meaning to “”.A. fail to speakB. watch her mannersC. stand uprightD. feel cold2. Why is Sally good at communicating with Bella according to the writer?A. Because Sally could not express herself in spoken words.B. Because Sally takes regular practice once a week at school.C. Because Bella receives professional training and responds well.D. Because the writer has taught Sally the necessary hand signals.3. Which of the following statements is TRUE?A. Sally hasn’t spoken at home for five years.B. The writer trained Sally to speak for two years.C. Sally started to speak outside her home in March.D. The writer began to train Sally in June with Bella.4. Who came up with the idea of a second try?A. The writer.B. The counselor.C. Sally’s parents.D. Sally herself.5. After the second try, Sally felt .A. relievedB. happyC. disappointedD. ashamed（三）Reading award-winning literature may improve your ability to read other people, too, a new study suggests.Researchers found that when they had volunteers read works of well-known literary awards, it seemed to temporarily improve their ability to understand other people’s emotion s.The same was not true of nonfiction or “popular” fiction — the mystery, romance and science-fiction books.Experts said the findings suggest that literature might help people become more perceptive (有觉察力的).“Reading literary fiction isn’t just for passing time. It’s not just an escape,” said Keith Oatley, a professor of cognitive psychology at the University of Toronto. “It also enables us to better understand others, and then take that into our daily lives.”Oatley was not involved in the new research, but worked on some of the first studies to suggest that reading literature can boost people’s empathy (同感) for others. His team has found that those who read a lot of fiction tend to show greater empathy on standard tests, but the same is not true of non-fiction fans.For the study, researchers at the New School for Social Research, in New York City, set up a series of five experiments in which participants read either literary fiction, popular fiction, non-fiction or nothing at all before taking some standard tests.One test is known as “Reading the Mind in the Eyes”. People have to look at photos of actors’ eyes, and then guess what emotion is being expressed in each. The test is considered a measure of empathy.“Literary” fiction has no clear definition. So Kidd and his colleague Emanuele Castano chose contemporary works that have won or been finalists for famous literary awards. They included “The Round House” b y Louise Erdrich, “Salva ge the Bones” b y Jesmyn Ward and the short story “Corrie” by Alice Munro.“Popular” fiction included best-sellers like “Gone Girl” by Gillian Flynn, and Danielle Steel’s “The Sins of the Mother”.What’s so special about literary fiction? “For one, it’s usually more focus ed on characters than on plot,” Kidd noted. But beyond that, he said, there is usually no single “authoritative narrator” who takes us through the story. It demands that the reader almost become a writer and fill in the gaps. “You really have to think about the characters,” Kidd said.Oatley agreed. “Alice Munro doesn’t tell you what to think,” he said. “You, yourself, have to make deduction about characters. And that’s often what we’re doing in our real-life conversations.”Or at least that’s what people c ould do. Often, Kidd said, their daily interactions with other people are more automatic, and don’t involve deep consideration. Reading could offer a way to “practice” your social skills and use them more in real life, according to another researcher not involved in the study.1. What does Oatley think of the new research?A. It still lacks evidence.B. It is only partly true.C. It is meaningful and valuable.D. It is based on his own study.2. Which of the following cannot improve your ability to read other people?A. Salvage the Bones.B. The Round House.C. Corrie.D. Gone Girl.3. We can learn from the last paragraph that reading literature fiction .A. can help us control our emotionsB. can help improve our social skillsC. can make us understand the author betterD. can make us more interested in literature4. The underlined word “deduction” in the last but one paragraph probably means “”.A. inferenceB. referenceC. predictionD. inspection5. Which of the following can be the best title for the passage?A. Different kinds of fictionB. Reading literature for funC. Reading is more than entertainmentD. Literature lovers read people better（四）Back in 2008, whe n local residents and organizers began planning a teen center, they couldn’t know that as it neared completion in 2013, the $190,000 in funding necessary to run the center and have actual programs might not be available.When Liz Derias, from Oakland’s Leadership Excellence, led a group of West Oak land youth in the design of a community center for youth and by youth, the mission was clear: to serve and protect youth primarily in West Oakland, regardless of their backgrounds, through personal development, education, job training and the arts.Ideas came up in 2003 by Nadel after a visit to McClymonds High School. The city had stopped investing in that part of Oakland, and McClymonds’ students started talking about what they wanted in their community.By the time Derias and West Oakland youth began developing their survey, the focus was right on programs and architectural design. The results of the survey were promising, and opening the center met West Oakland community’s needs. With nearly 80 percent of the 108 surveyed unemployed, job training became the focus of the center’s programs. Computer labs, classrooms, offices, a stage and a kitchen were included in the building’s design to provide a wide variety of job training possibilities designed for West Oakland’s youth. They even recommended the church’s former parking lot be converted to a covered seating area because a majority of respondents indicated they would walk or take the bus to the center, making a parking lot unnecessary.But although construction of the youth center is set for completion this summer, money needed to pay for the programs and the staff, estimated at $190,000 for the first year by a city report, has not been provided.Now, without public funding, community organizations, including Attitudinal Healing Connection who helped to host the 2009 survey and Hands Helping Hands, continue to search for possibilities that would create a bridge between the youth center, other community organizations and opportunities for education.Derrick Bulls, executive director of Hands Helping Hands, said, “We’re looking at Laney College’s Gateway to College program as well as combining General Educational Development courses and job training with counseling and support.”And despite the funding challenge, McElhaney’s office plans to organize a grand o peningceremony if and when funding is available.“We’re excited to have a new building that has exciting service for youth,” she said. “But it will go unfinished as long as program funding is unavailable.”With the final vote on the city’s budget set for the end of June, public funding for the center is still possible, but not likely due to limited resources and a number of funding requests, leaving open the possibility of a beautiful but empty youth center waiting for funds.Yet regardless of the uncerta inty of the youth center’s future, former councilwoman Nadel is still holding out hope that the center’s mission will complete. She said, “It’s a problem of the way our society doesn’t fund things properly. The city hasn’t made a mistake. The city has foun d a need and gone little by little to meet that need, but that doesn’t mean money can’t be obtained.”1. The teenagers in the West Oakland youth center will .A. be treated equallyB. make great effortsC. donate more moneyD. try to get more support2. The idea of setting up a youth center first received great support from .A. McClymonds High SchoolB. Oakland’s local governmentC. West Oakland communityD. Oakland’s Leadership Excellence3. It can be inferred that Oakland’s you th center may probably fight a way out by .A. seeking support from the governmentB. purchasing more land from churchC. organizing an opening ceremonyD. strengthening outer cooperation4. The underlined word “converted” in Paragraph 5 can be best replaced by “”.A. movedB. changedC. comparedD. supplied5. Which of the following can be the best title for the passage?A. Youth Center — Exciting Service for YouthB. A Funding Challenge for Youth CenterC. Youth Center’s Mission Is FallingD. A Great Relief to Youth Center（五）I pulled the car into the garage and got out, just like every night for the past 16 years. The difference was that I wouldn’t have a job to go to in the morning.I used to be a vice-president in technology for a national bank until it went bankrupt (倒闭). Not only did I work long hours, I was also on call 24 hours a day, weekends and holidays. If someone had a tech problem, even at 2:00 a.m. on Christmas morning, I was on it. My kids joked that even though they were the teenagers, I was the one who was absorbed in the cell phone and had to be told not to text at the dinner table.My wife, Michelle, had been able to go to back to work full-time as an office manager once she heard my job was threatened. But our three kids would go to college — our son, TJ,was a high school senior, and the girls, Sarah and Tara, were in the ninth grade — and I wanted to give them the education and opportunities they deserved.I stepped out into our yard. The lawn and flower beds that my mom had looked after so carefully were full of weeds. There was a tree in the middle of the yard that I remembered my parents planted when I was a boy. It needed pruning (修剪). But I’d put on a lot of weight. I went up to the house. Michelle gre eted me at the door with a hug. “It’s going to be okay,” she said. “Maybe you should think of this time as a break. You deserve one.” “I’m sorry, Dad,” TJ said. “I know how much your job meant to you.” His concern was mirrored in the girls’ faces. When had they grown up?“I’ll take care of this,” I told them. “I’m going to find a new job and get our lives back to normal.”The next morning I got up before everyone else. I searched for a job online. I e-mailed friends with connections. By midmorning the quiet of the house was driving me crazy. I missed the noise of the office. I saw those overgrown flower beds. I made my way to the backyard with the hoe (锄头).I settled into a new routine. Every day, I took breaks to do other things I’d neglected when I was w orking all the time. The new lawn I’d planned for so long began to take shape. So did I. With the physical labor, the extra weight dropped off, and I felt healthier than I had in ages. And I cleaned the empty family rooms completely and bought some video games. Soon TJ, Sarah and Tara were bringing their friends over after school. There were so many teenagers hanging out in the family ro om that I called “the kid zone”. At weekends Michelle and I gardened together. On summer evenings the five of us hung out.One day I noticed TJ sitting alone, looking thoughtful. I knew he had worries about going to college and he’d lost touch with some of his friends.“TJ, I know how it feels to lose something,” I began.“I know, Dad,” he said. “I learned that from watching how you’ve handled being unemployed. You might have been stressed, but you never let it affect our family. You kept us together.”I looked at my son, and it hit me. This was the last year he was at home. The girls would be off to college soon too. Luckily, I had this time to be the husband and father my family needed. I’d had the chance to find a healthy balance between work and family —a balance that even after I found a new job with a great company, I have made sure to keep.1. The second paragraph mainly intends to tell us that the writer .A. was a cell phone loverB. disliked the long work hoursC. devoted all his life to workD. wanted to change jobs2. We can learn from Paragraph 4 that .A. the writer’s family still lived in t he house where the writer grew upB. the writer’s wife hoped he could use the free time to lose weightC. the writer liked pruning the tree that he planted when smallD. the writer did not like the lawn and flower beds in the yard3. By saying “When had they grown up?” in Paragraph 5, the writer may regret .A. not going back home every day on timeB. spending little time with his three childrenC. not asking what his children needed mostD. letting his children know his unemployment4. “Other things” mentioned in the eighth paragraph don’t include .A. doing the houseworkB. tending the gardenC. applying for jobsD. looking after his children5.

My job（六）I got this book for Christmas and immediately thought it’s a children’s book and how fascinating it can really be. I finished reading the series within a week. I’ve not read such a good book in years. As a child, I used to read Enid Blyton’s and Roald Dahl’s books. I was well known for always having my nose stuck in a book. As I got older, I started reading more “adult”books. But I always worried that there would never be anything great or new for the next generation. And then I found the Harry Potter series — breathtaking stories which combine charm, wit and imagination. It’s one of those amazing stories which have you wait for the next book.Harry Potter spends the first ten years of his life living with his aunt and uncle and cousin Dudley. They let him live with them when his parents were killed by the evil Lord Voldemort, but they don’t like the fact that he is not “normal”. Consequently he lives in the cupboard under the stairs and is not even recognized when he walks into a room or talks. Then, a letter arrives from Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry by the giant Hagrid. Then Harry Potter is led into the world of people who are believed to have magic powers, where he is famous as the only survivor of Voldemort’s curse (咒语).Each book records a new year at Hogwarts. He is also involved in the death challenges Lord Voldemort constantly throws at him, helped by his best friends Ron, Hermione and Hedwig the owl. The characters and the plot attract you. Many people can relate to one of the characters or know an equivalent at school. The well-meaning Hermione who always tells other people what to do, pompous (自大的) Percy, stupid Neville and funny Ron. The story recognizes the anxieties and situations all children go through, dealing with the bully (仗势欺人), the mean teacher, the torment(折磨) of keeping secrets and having the courage to act against injustice.Many peop le believe children are only interested in video games and TV. That’s because there hasn’t been anything else to attract their attention. Now there is the magical andawe-inspiring Harry Potter. With the plot and incredible wit it will attract child and adult alike. The vocabulary is such that adults will not feel a loss of intelligence reading it —indeed it will not even happen to them. Until now, it has won the National Book Award, the Smarties Prize, and the Children’s Book Award and is short-listed for the Carnegie Medal — it deserves all and more.1. We can learn from the first paragraph that .A. the writer didn’t expect the Harry Potter series to be good at first sightB. the writer became interested in reading due to the Harry Potter seriesC. the writer thought of the Harry Potter series as a good choice for kidsD. the writer believed many adult books are as good as children’s books2. What’s Paragraph 2 mainly about?A. The turning point of Harry Potter’s life.B. Harry Potter, the on ly survivor of Voldemort’s curse.C. Harry Potter’s early life after his parents died.D. Harry Potter’s uncle, aunt and cousin Dudley.3. In the writer’s opinion, readers are interested in the Harry Potter series probably because of .A. the courage which Harry Potter shows in fighting against injusticeB. the way the story develops and the different characters in the booksC. the stories’ focusing on the anxieties and situations the kids go throughD. the charm of the characters and their learning experiences at Hogwarts4. What does the underlined word “it” in the last paragraph refer to?A. Having interest in reading the books.B. Reading the books with ease.C. Feeling a loss of intelligence.D. Learning new vocabulary.5. Where does the passage most probably taken from?A. A fiction book.B. A newspaper.C. A column on famous people.D. A website for book reviews.（七）More recently, however, “plant whisperers” — super-sensitive plant lovers who talk to or play Mozart for their plants — have been much maligned (诽谤). Even Prince Charles, an enthusiastic gardener, says he has been called madman for his habit of talking with trees and plants. This modern form of plant whispering came onto the cultural scene in the 1960s and ’70s, in large part due to The Secret Life of Plants, a best-selling book claiming to prove that plants are conscious beings with emotions capable of communicating with humans. The book was made into a documentary by Stevie Wonder, but the scientific community considered it as pseudo-science (伪科学).Four decades and countless scientific studies later, the plant culture wars are heating up again — with some plant lovers calling for the ethical (道德的) treatment of plants. The Swiss Federal Ethics Committee on Non-Human Biotechnology, a governmental body, has advocated for the “moral consideration of plants”. As Michael Marder, a professor atthe University of the Basque Country in Spain, argues in his recently published book, Plant-Thinking: A Philosophy of Vegetal Life, human indifference (冷漠) to plants makes us confused about “enormous regions of their being”. Reducing greenery to storehouses of energy and vitamins or forcing limits on their bio-diversity is, according to Marder, just wrong.New research has shown that plants, while lacking a central nervous system, do indeed have a sensual life. Plant biologists have identified cells that allow them to see, smell, feel and remember. Daniel Chamovitz, biologist and author of the 2012 book, What a Plant Knows, says plants are more complex than was previously understood and are “clearly aware of the world around them”.One key discovery regarding plant communication is that pea vines can signal to other peas in a field. Researchers at Ben-Gurion University found that pea plants exposed to drought emitted(排放) chemicals from their roots that caused nearby non-exposed plants to defend themselves against the same dry conditions. This is just one of many studies that suggest that plants can not only learn from information, but also react and remember.When not thought about it deeply, these developments may seem like a clear victory for plant whisperers. But let’s not talk about Beethoven’s works just yet.“We must be careful about those instances when we use plants, or any other creatures for that matter, to r eflect our own concerns,” Marder tells me when I ask him whether he talks to his plants. “Let’s not assume that plant subjectivity(主观性) is the same as ours.” His primary critique of The Secret Life of Plants is that it assumes that if plants are conscious then they must have emotions and think abstractly like humans. For Chamovitz, ethics are only concerned with humans and animals bec ause plants don’t suffer.But maybe the reason plants don’t respond to our attempts to communicate is simple: they don’t need humans. “Plants can survive fine without us,” Chamovitz says. “But we wouldn’t survive a minute without them.”1. This passage is mainly about .A. the bio-diversity of plant speciesB. the mystery of plant communicationC. emotions of different kinds of plantsD. the relationship between plants and humans2. We can learn from Paragraph 6 that .A. plant whisp erers like Beethoven’s worksB. Beethoven’s works are not suitable for plantsC. it’s still too early to jump to conclusionsD. plants can’t communicate with each other3. What is Chamovitz’s opinion about the idea of plant communication?A. Plants have the same feelings as humans.B. It’s not clear whether plants have emotions.C. It’s necessary for humans to talk with plants.D. Plants are conscious but we just don’t know.4. Marder’s attitude towards the idea of plant communication is .A. positiveB. negativeC. neutralD. critical。

Yes you were, I thought. “We were both pretty 7 ,” I said. “But that’s no excuse for...” She 8 , and then continued, “It just always 9 me, remembering how mean I was to you. And I’ve wanted to tell you... I’m 10 .” The smile on her face was 11 and sincere. And there was something in her eyes—it looked a lot like 12 . “OK,” I said, “Apology 13!” Overcome by the 14 of the moment, I reached an arm around her and gave her a big hug. Just then, the crowd erupted with a huge cheer, and Marci and I both returned our attention to the 15 . By the time I looked over to where she had been, she was 16 .

This contrasts (对比) greatly with the slow movements of the Swedish. They, 5 , debate, debate, debate, hold many meetings and work with a slowdown scheme. At the end, this 6 gets better results.The first time I was in Sweden, one of my 7 picked me up at the hotel every morning. It was November, quite a bit 8 and snowy. We would arrive 9 at the company and he would park far away from the 10 (2000 employees drove their cars to work). The first day, I didn’t 11 anything, neither the second or third day. One morning I asked him, “Do you havea(n) 12 parking space? I’ve noticed we park far from the entrance even when there are no other 13 in the lot.” He replied, “Since we’re here early we’ll have time to 14 . Don’t you think that whoever gets in late will need a place closer to the door?” 15 my face.Nowadays, there’s a 16 in Europe named Slow Food. It means that people should eat and 17 slowly, with enough time to taste their food, spend time with family and friends, without 18 .

When you say, “If I make a hit, we’llwin the game and I’ll be a 2 ,” you challenge yourself to do something and imagine what the 3 will be. You might also say, “If I fail in school, I’ll be 4 .” Imagining the pain that 5 brings is a negative way of motivating yourself.Sometimes motivation comes from the 6 . Your parents might say, “If you do well in school, the whole 7 w ill go to Disney World.” Now you have a 8 reason to study hard! Your parents might also say, “If you don’t9 your room, you will be forbidden to watch your favorite TV program.” This is the negative 10 . The best motivation comes from inside you. In fact, motivating yourself to do well 11 waiting for someone else to tell you is a sign that you are 12 . People who have no 13 must be told what to do all the time.Self-motivation is one thing we learn from the martial arts (武术). When we begin, our master 14 us everything.

By saying nothing, the master 17 us to be grown-up enough to motivate ourselves.If we are 18 about the arts, we will practice at home and do well in class. Our master will 19 this and encourage us to continue. Soon we will be 20 for testing to advance towards the next stage. We will mov e up because we’ve motivated ourselves.1.

Things were kind of 3 lately for her little family.That is why when they were walking through a parking lot and Shannon 4 an envelope from the ground that contained $4,000 in cash, there were a number of 5 explanations that could be considered. Was this an extraordinary piece of good 6 ? Could it be a little attempt by God to 7 everything that had faced the Bakers? Shannon didn’t kn ow about any of that. The 8 thing she knew was that the 9 in that envelope belonged to someone and that the someone was not her.Oh, and one other thing she knew: her young daughter was 10 . “M y kid was standing right there when I found it,” Shannon said. “Basically I wanted to teach my daughter how to be 11 .”Never mind the 12 that were piling up, or the car that needed to be fixed, or the baby that would soon need diapers (尿布).
