他不该得到一个“A”吗

       ▲我的第二个孩子埃里克,不论怎样努力,成绩始终不好,那些写着“C”的成绩单总是令他伤心落泪。    

       如果他不能学有所成,将来靠什么生活?我一直忧心忡忡。    

      ▲埃里克16岁那年,我对他有了新的认识。    

      那天,我突然得知:我79岁高龄的父亲因心脏病突发去世了。    

     接到电话,埃里克痛哭失声:“爸爸!”在埃里克5岁以前,我父亲确实一直担当他“爸爸”的角色,他带他去理发,吃冰淇淋,陪他打棒球,等等,所以埃里克经常这样称呼他。父亲离开我们回乡后,埃里克失魂落魄了好些日子。后来他逐渐懂得了祖父对故土对老朋友的                 之情,而祖父的每一个电话和每一次来访都让他欣喜若狂:他的“爸爸”从来没有忘记他!    

       当我和两个孩子走进殡仪馆,走向他们的祖父时,我感到埃里克猛地抓住了我的手。后来,当数百位亲友络绎不绝地进入告别厅时,我们才依依不舍地站到了一边。    

       突然,我发现埃里克不知什么时候竟然不在我身边了。我四处张望,发现他正站在入口处帮助那些老人们——有的坐着轮椅,有的拄着拐杖,还有很多人则要埃里克搀扶才能走到遗体前。    

       那天晚上,当丧事承办人说还需要一名抬柩者时,埃里克立刻接过话道:“先生,我能帮您吗?”丧事承办人觉得他太小,埃里克却摇摇头说:“小时候一直是‘爸爸’带我,现在该我抬他了!”听到埃里克的话,我顿时难过地哭了起来。    

       从那一刻起,我知道我绝不会再因为埃里克成绩不好而严厉地斥责他了,因为我预想的那个形象根本就无法与我已经非常好的儿子相比。他的善良、他的爱心,都是上帝赐给他的礼物。    

       ▲如今,埃里克已经20岁了,无论走到哪里,对于他人,他仍旧一如既往地满怀同情。我不禁自问:“当一个年轻人已经尽了自己最大的努力,而又那么善良、富有爱心的时候,他不应该得到一个‘A’吗?”    

1.在文中的横线上填上恰当的词语。    

2.第5自然段的最后一句话中,“爸爸”一词为什么加引号?     

                                                                                                                                                         

3.第3自然段在文中的作用是:________   

4.判断。正确的画“√”,错误的画“×”。    

(1)“一如既往”在文中的意思是“完全跟从前一样”。(     )    

(2)文章结尾虽然说“当一个年轻人已经尽了自己最大的努力”,但埃里克在学习上是否“努力”了,文章没有写。(     )    

5.短文已用“▲”标出段落,请概括第二段段意。 

                                                                                                                                                           

6.你认为埃里克该不该得到一个“A”呢?为什么?

                                                                                                                                                            

答案

1.眷念  

2.因为这里的“爸爸”是特指。    

3.承上启下    

4.(1).×  (2).×     

5.埃里克16岁那年,我对他的善良,他的爱心有了新的认识。    

6.我认为埃里克应该得到一个“A”,因为他已经尽了自己最大的努力,而且很善良,富有爱心。

Walking through my train yesterday, staggering from my seat to the buffet and back, I counted five people reading Harry Potter novels. Not children-these were real grown-ups reading children’s books,
Maybe that would have been understandable. If these people had jumped whole-heartedly into a second childhood it would have made more sense. But they were card-carrying grown-ups with laptops and spreadsheets returning from sales meetings and seminars. Yet they chose to read a children’s book.
I don’t imagine you’ll find this headcount exceptional. You can no longer get on the London Tube and not see a Harry Potter book. Nor is it just the film; these throwback readers were out there in droves long before the movie campaign opened.
So who are these adult readers who have made JK Rowling the second-biggest female earner in Britain (after Madonna) As I have tramped along streets knee-deep in Harry Potter paperbacks, I’ve mentally slotted them into three groups.
First come the Never-Readers, whom Harry has enticed into opening a book. Is this a bad thing Probably not. Writing has many advantages over film, but it can never compete with its magnetic punch. If these books can re-establish the novel as a thrilling experience for some people, then this can only be for the better. If it takes obsession-level hype to lure them into a bookshop. that’s fine by me. But will they go on to read anything else Again, we can only hope.
The second group are the Occasional Readers. These people claim that tiredness, work and children allow them to read only a few books a year. Yet now—to be part of the crowd, to say they’ve read it—they put Harry Potter on their oh-so-select reading list. It’s infuriating, and maddening. Yes, I’m a writer myself, currently writing difficult, unreadable, hopefully unsettling novels, but there are so many other good books out there, so much rewarding, enlightening, enlarging works of fiction for adults; and yet these sad cases are swept along by the hype, the faddism, into reading a children’s book.
The third group are the Regular Readers, for whom Harry is sandwiched between McEwan (英国当代作家) and Balzac, Roth (德国现代诗人) and Dickens. This is the real baffler—what on earth do they get out of reading it Why bother But if they call rattle through it in a week just to say they ve been there—like going to Longleat (朗利特山庄英国名胜) or the Eiffel Tower—the worst they’re doing is encouraging others.

According to the author, the Never-Readers ______.

A.will take up reading as their lifelong hobby

B.have got more from the book than from the film

C.may barely get interested in other books than Harry Potter

D.can hardly be driven by the crowds to read any book
