8 . In my opinion, my mother has the ability to do anything, especially chores such as ironing and cooking. However, teaching her how to use the Internet is as frustrating as untangling (解开) wires.

Once, my mother came to me to ask for help on how to find a recipe for all-beef Lasagna. I gave her very simple verbal instructions—go to the home page of a particular search engine and type in “recipe for all-beef Lasagna.” Fifteen minutes later, she came to me, telling me that she was unable to find the Internet icon. I went over to the computer and pointed out the icon to her.

Another fifteen minutes went by when I felt a tap on my shoulder. This time, my mother said that she was unable to search for the particular recipe. Gritting (咬) my teeth, I walked to her room again. I saw that she had typed “all beef La saga” instead. With frustrated strokes, I keyed in the correct spelling.

Yet another fifteen minutes went by again when my mother gingerly tapped my shoulder. I stormed next door without bothering to hide my frustration. The main page of the website had not shifted one bit. I then realized that she did not know how to scroll(滚动屏幕) down the page. What had initially seemed like an easy task was turning out to be an intense one.

To avoid being disturbed again, I decided to find the recipe for her. Without a word, I rapidly downloaded a few recipes, printed them out and passed them to my mother. However, seeing her embarrassment, I began to regret my impatience.

At that moment, memories flashed through my mind. When I was young, my mother endured my endless questions, enlightening me with much patience. Now that I am older, the roles slowly reverse. As my mother may increasingly need my help, shouldn’t I rethink how to respond to her needs?

1. Why does the author gave her mother very simple instructions at first?

A．Because she was an impatient person.

B．Because she didn’t want to be disturbed.

C．Because she wanted to make them easy to follow.

D．Because she thought it was an easy task to do.

2. How did the author’s mother feel when she got the recipes?

A．Delighted.

B．Embarrassed.

C．Frustrated.

D．Impatient.

3. Which of the following is probably the end of the story?

A．The author becomes more willing to help her mother.

B．The author’s mother becomes more patient to her.

C．The author’s mother doesn’t turn to her for help any more.

D．The author learns more recipes with her mother.

4. What can be a suitable title for this text?

A．It’s never too old to learn.	B．Action speaks louder than words.
C．Patience is the mother of success.	D．Understanding means standing in other’s shoes.

Last Sunday, my parents and me went to the countryside, which we had a great time together. To make it a green journey, we all agree to cycle there. With everything ready, we set out. Upon arrival, we got down to make preparations. Everyone was enjoying the pleasant but relaxing family atmosphere in open air. After some snacks, my father and I couldn’t wait to fly kites. We watched our kites dancing high in the sky, laughing happily together. Mum was so excited that he cheered for us. Dusk fell down before we realized it. Seating together at ease, we quietly watched the golden sun setting, wishing to have more joyful weekend like this.
