PAGE PAGE 1 Unit 5 Meeting your ancestors 李仕才 一、阅读理解。 Each time I see a balloon,my mind flies back to a memory when I was a six-year-old girl.It was a rainy Sunday and my father had recently died.I asked my mum if my dad had gone to heaven.“Yes,honey.Of course,”she said.“Can we write him a letter?”I asked. ??? She paused,the longest pause of my short life,and answered,“Yes.”My heart jumped.“Can the mailman go there?”I asked. ??? “No,but I have an idea.”Mum drove to a party store and returned with a red balloon.I asked her what it was for.“Just wait,honey.You’ll see.”Mum told me to write my letter.Eagerly,I got my favourite pen,and poured out my six-year-old heart in the form of blue ink.I wrote about my day,what I learned at school,what Mum was doing,and even about what happened in a story I had read.For a few minutes it was as if Dad were still alive.I gave the letter to Mum.She read it over,and a smile crossed her face.She made a hole in the corner of the letter where she looped the balloon string.We went outside and she gave me the balloon.It was still raining.“Okay,on the count of three,let it go.One,two,three.”The balloon,carrying my letter,darted upwards against the rain.We watched until it was swallowed by the mass of clouds.Later I realized,like the balloon,that Dad had never let his sickness get him down.He was strong.No matter what he suffered,he’d persevere,dart up,and finally transcend this cold world and his sick body.He rose into sky and became something beautiful.I watched until the balloon disappeared into the grey and white and I prayed that his strength was passed on.I prayed to be a balloon. 1.When the girl asked her mother if they could write to her father,her mother________.A.believed it easy to do soB.thought her a creative girlC.felt it hard to answerD.found it easy to lie2.When the girl was told that she could send a letter to her father,she_______.A.jumped with joyB.was worried that it couldn’t be deliveredC.started writing immed
