Unit 4 I used to be afraid of the dark. Unit 4 第4课时（Section B 2c-Self Check）测试卷 测试时间：20分钟 I.阅读理解 Five years ago, my mother gave birth to a brother for me when I was 8. I have learned a lot from getting along with him. After he was born, I almost became a babysitter. I had to amuse him after school. I would make faces and sing to him when he was crying. Sometimes I even carried him everywhere in our yard to refresh him while my parents were busy. What I liked to do best was to feed him when looking after him. How cute he was as he tasted his favorite food!

I bought one for him with my lucky money as a birthday present. When he got the toy, he was so happy that he laughed, hugged me and said, “Brother, I love you!” Thanks for spending these years together with my family.
