Module6 War and Peace Ⅰ.阅读理解(共两节) 第一节 阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C、D)中，选出最佳选项。 I moved from Chicago to Brooklyn in July of 2010，just in time to watch my mother die.My parents were both gone now.I took with me as many things they had left behind as I could. I was walking out one Saturday later that summer when something caught my eye—a pale green dress.Laid out on the pavement was stuff like earrings，glass candle holders，and books.Hanging on the fence behind were a few pairs of jeans and a green cotton dress. The woman，the host of the stoop(门廊) sale，looked like she was getting rid of a past she didn't need or want: a dress that was too big for her，a chest of drawers that took up too much space，space she needed，maybe，to heal，recover，or grow. I wasn't really planning on buying anything，but now I needed to show her that I appreciated her things and I would give them a safe home.Then I had my first stoop sale—I paid her 20 dollars for her green cotton dress and her blue candle holder. From that day on，I became interested in stoop sales.Some of my favorite things are from someone else's life.I find no joy in shopping at regular stores any more.I love trying to sniff out a memory from a vase or a drawer.It is comforting to know that someone has breathed and laughed inside a sweater before me. |
