Day 4
根据短文内容，从短文后的七个选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，选项中有两项为多余选项。
After the Spring Festival, I found some of my mom’s daily habits have changed.
Her cooking methods were different. Vegetables that had been cooked crisply became overcooked and mushy (糊状的). Fish that had been fried became soup. Her old shredded (切成细条的) potato with vinegar turned into diced potato… 1 Mom seemed somewhat embarrassed. All she said was, “Just trying a different taste”. Then she was silent.
But it wasn’t just cooking. 2 After dinner, instead of watching Korean soap operas as usual, she would put on her newly-bought sports clothes and drag Dad out for a walk. They would come home and she would bury herself in magazines or newspapers about healthcare. Mom almost never gets sick. Why was she suddenly interested in medicine?
3 Then one day I came across her micro blog. “While visiting my parents during the Spring Festival, I suddenly realized that they are in their 70s now,” my mom had written. “They move slowly and it is hard for them to do the housework. I should visit them more frequently…
“Some cooking methods should be changed to keep them healthy. They like fish soup, diced potato, soft and tender vegetables…
“ 4 If my parents are too weak to move around, I can be strong enough to take care of them. When I am old, my son can also have less of a burden taking care of me…”
I read this and burst into tears. I used to complain that Mom didn’t understand me and couldn’t give me everything I wanted. 5 But now I completely understand her. How noble she is! She always thinks of others before herself. Everything she does is to help the people she loves live better lives. How unselfish her love is!
A. Mom also changed other habits.
B. I couldn’t understand her “abnormal” behavior.
C. Mom began to take interest in outdoor sports.
D. I always thought there was a wide gap between us.
E. I must also keep fit by doing physical exercise.
F. There were so many happy memories imprinted in my mind.
G. Puzzled, Dad and I asked Mom the reason for the change.
