Elephant polo(象球)

The title is self-explanatory, but elephant polo is more interesting than the traditional alternative played on horses．Elephants make the game slower，and, because of this the field is only three-quarters the length of a standard polo field．The elephants carry two people and are guided by mahouts(看象人)．The player hits the ball and tells the mahout which way to go. The Kings Cup Elephant Polo Tournament is the sixth largest event in the Thai calendar.

At times my mom has been uncomfortable seeing these qualities in me. For example, when I was 12, I went to Puerto Rico all by myself to stay with my grandmother for the summer. My mom was extremely nervous about it. She kept telling me how things were different in Puerto Rico, to always put on sunscreen, not to wander away from my grandmother, and other warnings. She helped me pack and did not leave the airport until she saw my plane take off.
But despite her worries, she let me go on my own. As I moved into my teens, she continued to give me space to grow and learn even when it might have been difficult for her. When I reached my senior year, I decided to move away for college. Once again I found that I differed from my peers: while many of them wanted to stay close to home, I couldn't wait to be out in the world on my own. While my mom may not have been happy at the thought of me going away, she was supportive and excited for me.
One big thing I realized during my senior year, as my mom granted me more freedom, was that she actually believes in me and trusts me. That means a lot. Most of my life, and especially when I was little, the main person I tried to impress in my schoolwork or other things was my mother. I knew she expected nothing but the best from me. Sometimes it was hard to live up to her standards; getting a single B on my report card would make me feel bad because I knew she wanted me to have all A's.
I know that her high standards have helped me stay focused on what's important, like education, and made me who I am. I am thankful for her support and involvement in my life. Most of all I respect her. She is the strongest woman I know and that's why I have turned out so strong and independent.
（1）When the author decided to go to Puerto Rico, his mother.
A.wanted to go with him
B.worried about his safety
C.didn't allow him to go
D.asked his grandmother for advice
（2）The author decided to move away for college to.
A.be different from his peers
B.keep away from his mother
C.be independent in outside world
D.make his mother unhappy
（3）We can learn from the third paragraph that the author's mother.
A.had a high expectation from him
B.was too strict with him
C.used to expect nothing from him
D.cared little about his learning
（4）In the passage, the author mainly wants to tell us.
A.his long way to becoming independent
B.his good relationship with his mother
C.his mother's deep love for him
D.the importance of a mother's trust and support

【題目】閱讀理解
Aunt Karen always had a special place in my heart. When I was growing up, I knew I could count on her to have room for me on her lap and words of love and encouragement when I needed to hear them. When she died five years ago, I was devastated. The whole family was still in shock when her husband, Uncle Ronnie, died a week later. I longed to have a small item of Aunt Karen's to remember her by, but seeing her children and grandchildren overcome by the grief of this double loss made me shy away from asking.
A few months after Aunt Karen's death, I was on my way to work when I saw Rescued Treasures, a local second-hand store. I only had a couple of dollars on me and didn't really intend to buy anything, but I stopped anyway just to look inside. I had been shopping around for a few minutes when a small, black handbag caught my eye. It wasn't fancy or special. I didn't really need a handbag and continued to look around the store, but something kept drawing me back to that handbag. Finally, I checked the price tag (標(biāo)簽). It was just one dollar.
The handbag stayed in the back of my car for weeks until I came upon it during a car clean-up. I opened it up. I couldn't believe it. They hadn't even cleaned it out. It was still full of junk, old candy wrappers, old receipts (收據(jù)) and used paper. Usually the store emptied things inside, so there wouldn't be any surprises for a new owner.
I threw away some wastes, and sorted through the receipts, when I found one item in the small inside pocket. It was an insurance card with the name “Karen Stair” written on it. I began to cry. My beloved Aunt Karen. This was her handbag.
（1）What do we know from the passage?
A.Karen's husband survived her by five years.
B.Karen's children refused to give any item to the author.
C.The author was very shy when she was young.
D.Karen had been very kind to the author.
（2）The underlined word “devastated” in Paragraph 1 probably means “________”.
A.very worried
B.a little lonely
C.extremely sad
D.slightly disappointed
（3）The author made up her mind to buy the handbag because ________.
A.she just needed to buy a handbag
B.the bag looked strange and was worth the price
C.it happened that she could afford it
D.someone else persuaded her to buy it
（4）As soon as the author opened the handbag, she felt very ________.
A.surprised
B.excited
C.sick
