My Life on an Island

We live on the island of Hale. It’s about four kilometers long and two kilometers wide at its broadest point, and it’s joined to the mainland by a causeway     1     (call) Stand—a narrow road built across the mouth of the river     2     separates us from the rest of the country. Most of the time you wouldn’t know we’re on an island because the river mouth between us and the mainland is just a vast stretch of tall grasses and brown mud. But when there’s a high tide and the water rises a half meter or so above the road and nothing can pass     3     the tide goes out again a few hours later, then you know it’s an island.

We were on our way back     4     the mainland. My old brother, Dominic, had just finished his first year at university in a town 150 km away. Dominic’s train was due in at five and he’d asked for a lift back from the station. Now, Dad normally hates being disturbed when he     5     (write) (which is just about all the time), and he also hates having to go anywhere, but despite the typical sighs and moans –why can’t he get a taxi? What’s wrong with the bus? — I could tell by the flash in the eyes that he was really looking forward to     6     (see) Dominic.

So, anyway, Dad and I had driven to the mainland and picked up Dominic from the station. He had been talking non-stop from the moment he’d got in the car. University this, university that, writers, books, parties, people, money…I didn’t like the way he spoke and waved his hands around     7     he was some kind of scholar or something. It was embarrassing. It made me feel uncomfortable—that kind of discomfort you feel when someone you like, someone close to you, suddenly starts acting like a complete idiot. And I didn’t like the way he was ignoring me, either. For all the attention I was getting I     8     as well not have been there. I felt a stranger in my own car.

We were about halfway across when I saw a boy. My first thought was how odd it was     9     (see) someone walking on the Stand. You don’t often see people walking around here. As we drew     10     (close), he became clearer. He was actually a young man rather than a boy. It’s hard to explain…

文章大意:本文是一篇记叙文。文章介绍了妻子去看望她的父母,Brad在家里带孩子,Brad原先以为带孩子很容易,但是随着时间的推移情况越来越糟糕。
【推荐3】语法填空

Brad closed the door slowly as Sue left home to visit her mother.     1     (Expect) a whole day to relax, he was thinking whether to read the newspaper or watch his favourite TV talk show on his first day off in months. “This will be like     2     walk in the park,” he’d told his wife. “I’ll look after the kids, and you can go visit your mom.”

Things started well, but just after eight o’clock, his three little “good kids”-Mike, Randy, and Alex-came down the stairs in their night clothes and shouted “breakfast, daddy.” When food had not appeared within thirty seconds, Randy began using his spoon on Alex’s head     3     it were a drum. Alex started to shout loudly in time to the beat. Mike chanted “Where’s my toast, where’s my toast” in the background. Brad realized his newspaper would have to wait for a few seconds.

Life became worse after breakfast. Mike wore Randy’s underwear on his head. Randy locked     4     in the bathroom, while Alex shouted again because he was going to wet his pants. Nobody could find clean socks, but they     5     (be) before their very eyes. Someone     6     (name) “Not Me” had spilled a whole glass of orange juice into the basket of clean clothes. Brad knew the talk show had already started.

By ten o’clock, things were out of control. Alex was wondering why the fish in the jar refused his bread and butter. Mike was trying to show off his talent by decorating the kitchen wall     7     his colour pencils. Randy, thankfully, appeared     8     (draw) a picture quietly in the family room,but closer examination showed that he was eating apple jam straight from the bottle with his hands. Brad realized that the talk show was over and     9     (read) would be impossible.

At exactly 11:17, Brad called the daycare centre. “I suddenly have to go into work and my wife’s away.     10     I bring the boys over in a few minutes?” The answer was obviously “yes” because Brad was smiling.
