A(原创)You never forget your first whale. The impact it makes upon you is huge and life is never quite the same again. My first whale was a 40ft grey, off the coast of California in 1979, and I’ve been a whale addict ever since. Now I have to gowhale watching regularly just to survive normal daily life.I may be crazy but I am certainly not alone. The world is filled with whale watchers: since its beginnings in the mid-fifties, whale watching has grown dramatically and now more than 13 million people join organized whale watching trips every year.As a faithful whale watcher, all your holidays center on whales. The only books you read are ones about whales; you wear whale T-shirts, and every time you meet your friends you talk about whales.So what is it about these larger-than-life animals that makes them so special? Their enormous size is one possible explanation: imagine sitting in a small boat next to a blue whale almost as long as a Boeing 737.The fact that we know so little about them is another possibility: modern technology has taken us to the moon and beyond, yet we are only just beginning to understand these extraordinary forms of intelligent life on our own planet.Planning and patience are just two essential requirements for successful whale watching. Planning is needed because there are certain whale hot spots—where you have the best chance of seeing them—and because the larger species tend to be on their way from feeding areas to breeding grounds, so rarely do they stay in one place for more than a few months at a time.Patience is necessary because, even under the best conditions, whales can be tricky to find. However, most commercial whale watching trips have a surprisingly high success rate because they tend to concentrate on well-known whale populations at peak (最高的) seasons.21.What is the impact of the author’s first whale in his life?A.He has been crazy ever since.B.He can’t have a normal daily life.C.He has fallen in love with whale watching.D.He has organized watching trips every year.22.What will a faithful whale watcher do usually?A.Take part in whale forums.B.Wear only whale-themed clothes.C.Join an organization for whale watching every month.D.Pay much attention to whales in the holidays.23.Why is patience necessary in whale watching?A.Because it is very difficult to find these clever whales.B.Because whales are on their way to breeding grounds.C.Because the watching conditions are not always good.D.Because they have enormous size as big as a Boeing plane.24.What can be the best title of the passage?A.Tips on Whale WatchingB.Memories of Whale WatchingC.Whales Are Intelligent AnimalsD.Essential Requirements for Whale WatchingBOur bodies communicate what we feel loudly and clearly. Here are some tips for reading body language so that you can understand what is not being expressed by words. All of these tips are based on American interpretations (解释), so not all the body language here means the same in different cultures.A Cold Shoulder Is Really ColdI was meeting a friend and her husband. We were discussing our business. When the husband brought up an annoying topic that my friend didn’t want to discuss, she unknowingly turned her shoulder away from her husband. She didn’t notice what she had don e, but he got the message and changed the topic.An Eye for an EyeIn the US, we expect people to look us in the eyes when they are talking to us. In a crowdedelevator or on the street, someone that makes eye contact with you wants to start a conversation with you. If you are talking and don’t want to be interrupted (打断), look away at the end of a sentence. Eye movements help you control a conversation. On the other hand, if you want to talk and the speaker doesn’t give you the chance, stare at him an d fix your eyes on him for a while. He will stop talking and let you speak.You’ve Got to Hand It to ThemPrince Charles often stands with his hands held together behind his back. This posture expresses a sense of superiority (优越), confidence and power. When the hands are held together in front of one’s body, the posture means a need for protection or help.25. From the passage, we learn that _________.A. our bodies can show most of our feelingsB. Americans are good at using body languageC. body language has no country limitsD. body language may mean differently in different places26. What did the author’s friend do when her husband brought up an annoying topic?A. She began to discuss business.B. She showed her husband a cold shoulder.C. She interrupted her husband rudely.D. She tried to change to another topic.27. If a man makes eye contact with you in an elevator, it shows that he ___________.A. would like to talk to youB. is likely to control the conversationC. feels that you are dangerousD. is hoping to stop you talking28. Who would most probably hold his hands together in front of his body according to thepassage?A. A confident prince.B. An armed soldier.C. A missing child.D. An old artist.C(原创)DEAR AMY: We recently had to put our cat down. It came out of the blue. We had no idea that he had health problems, and we woke up early one morning to the cat crying out painfully. We immediately rushed him to the vet’s where the vet said that at best treatment might lengthen his life by two to three months. We did not want to see him suffer, so we chose to kill the cat in a painless way.I am having a rough time! I cry when I am alone. I cry when I see pet commercials on television. I put away everything that reminds me of the cat. But the last sight of seeing the cat in pain plays over and over in my head. My kids seem alright with what has happened, but why am I struggling?It has only been one week since his passing, so I hope things will get better. Do you have any suggestions?Yours,SadDEAR SAD: There is no loss quite like the loss of a pet; these animals keep us company through important life passages and are beloved witnesses to our human lives.I understand your instinct to put away all of your cat’s things, but it may help you now to memorialize your pet by using these things. Each family member can write down favorite things about him or memories of him; read their memories aloud and put the papers inside his bowl. The idea is to replace those painful last memories with much more lively memories taking place over the most of the animal’s life.Time will then do its job, which is to affect your feelings. And then, when you’re ready, I hope you will adopt another animal and give it the opport unity to share your life.Yours,Amy29.Which of the following made the author’s family choose to kill the cat in a painless way?A.The cat had changed its color.B.The vet himself had no way to save its life.C.The family wouldn’t see it suffer in its later life.D.The cat suffered so much that it could die at any time.30.What does the underlined phrase mean in Paragraph 1?A.In the color of blue.B.Very sadly.C.All of a sudden.D.With much pain.31.What do we know from the last paragraph of Amy’s letter?A.The longer it is, the less you will feel sad about your pet.B.It is important to find a new pet as soon as possible.C.As time goes on, you will feel more sorrow about your pet.D.One can’t live a happy life without a pet around him.DScientists find that hard-working people live longer than average men and women. Career women are healthier than housewives. Evidence shows that the jobless are in poorer health than jobholders. An investigation shows that whenever the unemployment rate increases by 1%, the death rate increases by 2%. All this comes down to one point, work is helpful to health.Why is work good for health? It is because work keeps people busy away from loneliness. Researches show that people feel unhappy, worried and lonely when they have nothing to do. Instead, the happiest are those who are busy. Many high achievers who lovetheir careers feel that they are happiest when they are working hard. Work serves as a bridge between man and reality. By work people come into contact with each other. By collective activity they find friendship and warmth. This is helpful to health. The loss of work means the loss of everything. It affects man spiritually and makes him ill.Besides, work gives one a sense of fulfillment and a sense of achievement. Work makes one feel his value and status in society. When a writer finishes his writing or a doctor successfully operates on a patient or a teacher sees his students grow, they are happy beyond words.From the above we can come to the conclusion that the more you work the happier and healthier you will be. Let us work hard and study hard and live a happy and healthy life.32. The underlined word “average” in Paragraph 1 means ______.A. healthyB. lazyC. ordinaryD. poor33. The reason why housewives are not as healthy as career women is that ______.A. housewives are poorer than career womenB. housewives have more children than career womenC. housewives have less chance to communicate with othersD. housewives eat less food than career women34. Which of the following statements is TRUE according to Paragraph 2?A. Busy people have nothing to do at home.B. High achievers don’t care about their families.C. There is no friendship and warmth at home.D. A satisfying job helps to keep one healthy.35. The best title for this passage may be _____.A. People Should Find a JobB. Working Hard Is Good for HealthC. People Should Make More Friends by WorkD. The Loss of Work Means the Loss of Everything第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

ARed Nose Day (RND) is a well-known event in the UK. The aim of the day is to raise money for a charity called Comic Relief which helps people in need in Africa and in the UK.Comic Relief was started in 1985 by the scriptwriter Richard Curtis. He wrote the famous films ‘Four Weddings and a Funeral' and ‘Notting Hill'. Richard's idea to start Comic Relief was as a response to the severe famine in Ethiopia. It's called Red Nose Day as on this day many people buy a plastic red nose to wear! The money made from selling red noses goes to the charity.Red Nose Day takes place every two years in the spring and is now so well established that many people consider it to be an unofficial national holiday. For example, many schools have non-uniform days.The slogan for the last RND was ‘Do Something Funny for Money' and the money that was collected helped to fund projects in the following areas, treating malaria（疟疾）,education, and mental health. The BBC Red Nose Day pro gram raised £74.3 million! Money-raising events take place all over the country and many schools participate. People also donate money by post, in banks, by phone using a credit card and online.In the evening of Red Nose Day a telethon takes place on the BBC TV channels. It shows on and on a selection of the events of the day, as well as lots of comic sketches and reports of how the money raised will be spent. People also upload videos of local charity events on YouTube and Facebook.So, if you are ever in the UK on Red Nose Day, now you know why you may find normal people wearing red noses and doing silly things! It's all for a good cause.21. What does the passage say about Richard Curtis?A. He likes to wear a plastic red nose.B. He started a charity in the 1980s.C. He is a well-known film director.D. He was born in a poor family in Ethiopia.22. Which of the following is true about Red Nose Day?A. It has become an official holiday.B. It takes place every year.C.

A money-raising party.D. A comic sketch party.24. Which of the following can be the title for this passage?A. Comic ReliefB. BBC TelethonC. Richard CurtisD. Red Nose DayBA nurse took the tired, anxious serviceman to the bedside. “Your son is here,”she said to the old man. She had to repeat the words several times before the patient’s eyes opened.Heavily drugged with sleep because of the pain of his heart attack, he dimly(隐约) saw the young uniformed Marine standing outside the oxygen tent. He reached out with his hand. The Marine wrapped his toughened fingers around the old man’s weak ones, expressing a message of love and encouragement. The nurse brought a chair so that the Marine could sit beside the bed.All through the night the young Marine sat there in the poorly lighted ward(病房), holding the old man’s hand and offering him words of lo ve and strength. Occasionally, the nurse suggested that the Marine move away and rest a while. He refused. Now and then she heard him say a few gentle words. The dying man said nothing, only holding tightly to his son all through the night. Along towards dawn, the old man died.The Marine released the now lifeless hand he had been holding and went to tell the nurse. While she did what she had to do, he waited.Finally, she returned. She started to offer words of sympathy, but the Marine interrupted her.“Who was that man?”he asked. The nurse was surprised. “He was your father,”she answered. “No, he wasn’t,”the Marine replied. “I never saw him before in my life.” “Then why didn’t you say something when I took you to him?”asked the nurse. “I knew right away the re had been a mistake, but I also knew he needed his son, and his son just wasn’t here. When I realized that he was too sick to tell whether or not I was his son, knowing how much he needed me, I stayed.”he answered.25.Why did the nurse take the Marine to the old man’s bed?A.Because he was the old man’s son.B.Because she knew that he was a warm-hearted man.C.Because she couldn’t find anyone else there.D.Because she thought he was the old man’s son.26.Why did the old man hold the Marine’s hand all thro ugh the night?A.Because he knew he would die the next day.B.Because he hadn’t seen his son for a long time.C.Because he was dying and mistook him for his son.D.Because he enjoyed doing that and so did the Marine.27.Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?A.The Marine didn’t know the old man at all.B.The nurse was careless and made a mistake.C.The Marine happened to be the old man’s son’s friend.D.The old man passed away peacefully and contentedly.28.What can we learn from the passage?A.The next time someone needs you, be there.B.All the soldiers are as kind as the Marine.C.We’d better not correct someone else’s mistakes.D.The young should accompany their parents all the time.CHave you ever tried to hold your breath for a long time and then let it out slowly? This is one of the techniques of an ancient Indian exercise known as Yoga. For thousands of years, people have used Yoga to help search for happiness and pleasure.Students of Yoga often study for as long as 20 years before becoming masters, or Yogis. They learn many different physical exercises. These exercises are designed to put the students in good physical condition. Then they can concentrate on deep thought without worrying about physical discomforts.Many yoga exercises require to put the body into difficult positions. Some of them are very hard to learn. Have you ever tried to cross your legs over one another? This is one of the basic Yoga positions. Most people find it difficult to stay in that position for even a few minutes. But Yogis train themselves to remain in the position for hours or even days. They are taught to overcome the physical discomforts of holding these positions. Other exercises and rules teach concentration－Yogis feel this is the key to finding inner peace. This kind of concentration is called meditation.Yogis and many other people practice meditation. They say that it makes them feel relaxed and peaceful. Some people say that it makes them feel better－just as good exercise does. But other people think that it is a way of achieving a strong religious feeling. These people say that meditation helps them feel much closer to God.The word Yoga itself comes from an ancient word meaning “union.” What kind ofunion do you think the word refers to? Why would people want to have this kind of experience?29. From the passage we know that ________.A. the longer you hold your breath, the healthier you areB. when one practices Yoga, he or she should be in the state of calm and peaceC. those who want to search for happiness and pleasure must practice YogaD. those who are under the age of 20 can’t practice Yoga at all30.

According to the passage we can infer that in order to practice Yoga well, you should ________.A. find a good trainerB. have strong will-powerC. be a happy personD. spend a lot of money32. If there was another more paragraph, the writer would ________.A. explain what the meaning of “union” of Yoga wasB. tell the readers where the word “union” came fromC. remind us how difficult it was to practice YogaD. urge the readers to practice YogaDLego Bricks & More 10664 Creative TowerList Price: $119.99Price: $101.35 & FREE ShippingFeaturing 160 colorful Lego bricks to create anything your young kids can imagine, this item is designed to allow children complete flexibility.

The idea is to replace those painful last memories with much more lively memories taking place over the most of the animal’s life.Time will then do its job, which is to affect your feelings. And then, when you’re ready, I hope you will adopt another animal and give it the opportunity to share your life.Yours,Amy 29.Which of the following made the author’s family choose to kill the cat in a painlessway?A.The cat had changed its color.B.The vet himself had no way to save its life.C.The family wouldn’t see it suffer in its later life.D.The cat suffered so much that it could die at any time.30.What does the underlined phrase mean in Paragraph 1?A.In the color of blue.B.Very sadly.C.All of a sudden.D.With much pain.31.What do we know from the last paragraph of Amy’s letter?A.The longer it is, the less you will feel sad about your pet.B.It is important to find a new pet as soon as possible.C.As time goes on, you will feel more sorrow about your pet.D.One can’t live a happy life without a pet around him.DScientists find that hard-working people live longer than average men and women. Career women are healthier than housewives. Evidence shows that the jobless are in poorer health than jobholders. An investigation shows that whenever the unemployment rate increases by 1%, the death rate increases by 2%. All this comes down to one point, work is helpful to health.Why is work good for health? It is because work keeps people busy away from loneliness. Researches show that people feel unhappy, worried and lonely when they have nothing to do. Instead, the happiest are those who are busy. Many high achievers who love their careers feel that they are happiest when they are working hard. Work serves as a bridge between man and reality. By work people come into contact with each other. By collectiveactivity they find friendship and warmth. This is helpful to health. The loss of work means the loss of everything. It affects man spiritually and makes him ill.Besides, work gives one a sense of fulfillment and a sense of achievement. Work makes one feel his value and status in society. When a writer finishes his writing or a doctor successfully operates on a patient or a teacher sees his students grow, they are happy beyond words.From the above we can come to the conclusion that the more you work the happier and healthier you will be. Let us work hard and study hard and livea happy and healthy life.32. The underlined word “average” in Paragraph 1 means ______.A. healthyB. lazyC. ordinaryD. poor33. The reason why housewives are not as healthy as career women is that ______.A. housewives are poorer than career womenB. housewives have more children than career womenC. housewives have less chance to communicate with othersD. housewives eat less food than career women34. Which of the following statements is TRUE according to Paragraph 2?A. Busy people have nothing to do at home.B. High achievers don’t care about their families.C. There is no friendship and warmth at home.D. A satisfying job helps to keep one healthy.35. The best title for this passage may be _____.A. People Should Find a JobB. Working Hard Is Good for HealthC. People Should Make More Friends by WorkD. The Loss of Work Means the Loss of Everything第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

高二第三次月考英语参考答案
2020年上期衡阳市八中高二第三次月考英语试题（参考答案）66.应用文写作：Dear Robert,How's everything going? I'm glad to hear that BBC is introducing Chinese culture in UK.Du Fu is regarded as the greatest poet in Chinese history. He was quite productive, leaving about 1,500 poems behind, most of which are still popular today. We love him not only because he wrote many great poems，but because he loved us common people. In most of his poems, he described the life of ordinary people and the extreme hardship they were facing as well as criticizing the governors who didn't care about the common people.I'm delighted that you have an interest in Chinese Culture. If you would learn Chinese language, then you'll find more about China. Wish you all the best.Yours,Li Hua.67.读后续写：Paragraph 1 : Looking over my shoulder, I stared into the flashing lights of a truck. A gleam of hope glinted in my mind and I began to shout for help. Off got a man. It was Joe! I couldn’t help bursting into tears. He struggled through the rushing water and stumbled towards my car. Upon arrival, he yelled, “Don’t be afraid, honey. Open the door and jumpout!” Clenching my teeth, I pulled the handle of the door but the door didn’t move under the weight of the strong current.Paragraph 2:I screamed that I couldn’t make it. Joe, however, remained calm! He took out a hammer and knockedon the corners of the window with force. Finally, the glass broke into pieces and the current poured in. Without delay, Joegrabbed me by the arm and pulled me out of the car. Holding hands tightly, we moved forward slowly and cautiously. Thank God, I was saved, safe and sound! There are lees to every wine but rescuing me tooth and nail in the shortcut makes Joe my perfect husband despite his clumsiness with housework.附件：听力原文【解析】听力原文Text 1W: Have you heard Sue’s got a promotion?M: Really?

And I only do things I enjoy, say walking, reading or listening to music.Text 10Historians are warning that some ancient British structures are being threatened by climate change.One of the most affected places is around the Orkney Islands, which are off the northern coast of Scotland. The area is home to more than 3,000 historical places. But, the islands have been seriously affected by severe weather events in recent years. Some structures on the islands were built during the Iron Age, Viking rule and the Middle Ages.Experts say that about 1,000 historical sites are under threat. One of them is the Iron Age building South Howe Broch on the island of Rousay. Now, its main wall has started falling into the sea. Julie Gibson is with the University of the Highlands and Islands. She fears the whole structure will one day completely disappear.A few hundred meters away from South Howe Broch is Midhowe Broch. This Iron Age building is still in good condition because it has been protected by a sea wall built in the 1930s. But experts say even this site faces risks if climate conditions continue to worsen.It is reported that the average rainfall has risen 27 percent in Scotland since the early 1960s. This increases the chances of water entering deeply into structures and causing damage. Over time, such damage can cause structural collapse.。

2019-2020年高二上学期第三次月考英语试卷含答案第一节（共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分）阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C、和D）中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
AHow often one hears children wishing they were grown-ups and old people wishing they were young again. Each age has its pleasures and its pains, and the happiest person is the one who enjoys what each age gives him without wasting his time in useless regrets.Childhood is a time when there are few responsibilities to make life difficult. If a child has good parents, he is fed, looked after and loved, whatever he may do. It is impossible that he will ever again in his life be given so much without having to do anything in return. In addition, life is always presenting new things to the child —things that have lost their interest for older people because they are too well-known. But a child has his parents. He is not so free to do what he wishes to do; he is continually being told not to do things or being punished for what he has done wrong.When the young man starts to earn his own living, he can no longer expect others to pay for his food, his clothes, and his room, but has to work if he wants to live comfortably. If he spends most of his time playing about in the way that he used to as a child, he will go hungry. And if he breaks the laws of society as he used to break the laws of his parents, he may go to prison. If, however, he works hard, keeps out of trouble and has good health, he can have the great happiness of building up for himself his own position in society.1. According to the second paragraph, the writer thinks that __.A. life for a child is comparatively easyB. a child is always loved whatever he doesC. if much is given to a child, he must do something in returnD. only children are interested in life2. After a child grows up, he __.A. will have little time playingB. has to be successful in finding a jobC. can still ask for help in time of troubleD. should be able to take care of himself3. The underlined word "responsibilities" in the second paragraph means__________.A. dutiesB. jobsC. suggestionsD. desires4. The main idea of the passage is _________ .A. life is not enjoyable since each age has some painsB. young men can have the greatest happiness if they work hardC. childhood is the most enjoyable time in one's lifeD. one is the happiest if he can make good use of each age in his lifeBWhen was the last time you lost something? What was it?According to a recent survey, we spend about ten minutes a day looking for lost things. Over an average lifetime, this adds up to an incredible 3,680 hours (or 153 days). Is there anything we can do about it?The study of 3,000 adults was carried out by home insurance company Esure. They found that mobile phones and car keys were the most frequently lost items. Other things on the list included: house keys, bills, sunglasses, wallets, bank cards, watches, jewellery (particularly rings and earrings).So, what’s going on? “Most blame it on a busy lifestyle,” says Nik ki Sellers, the head of Esure. Others say it’s the fault of spouses (配偶) or children for not putting things back where they belong. A few admitted to untidiness, absent-mindedness and a poor memory, with some wishing they were more organized.What’s the solution? “You need to choose a particular place for something and always put it back there,” said Nikki Sellers. “And you need to make sure everyone else in the house knows where to put it back too. You also need to keep your house tidy, label boxes clearly and find a place near the front door for all the items that you need in the morning. A good idea would be to have a shelf there with a bowl for your keys, purse, wallet and anything else.” she added.If you are still having trouble finding things, d on’t worry — things could be a lot worse: fourteen people in the survey said they spent over an hour every day looking for lost items. Surely you can’t be as bad as that!5. According to the survey, which do people lose most frequently?A. House keys.B. Cell phones.C. Bank cards.D. Sunglasses.6. The majority of people surveyed think that they lose something because of _______.A. lack of organization.B. their bad memoryC. the fault of their family membersD. their busy life7. From the text we learn that ________.A. many people in the survey spend over an hour looking for the lost itemsB. Nikki Sellers suggests always putting things back where they wereC. the author is quite worried about those who have trouble finding thingsD. a shelf near the front door is a must if you are to avoid losing moneyCExperts say it is not easy to get used to life in a new culture. “ Culture shock” is the term these experts use when talking about the feelings that people have in a new environment. There are three stages of culture shock, say the experts. In the first stage, the newcomers like their new environment. Then, when the fresh experience dies, they begin to hate the city, the country, the people and everything else. In the last stage, the newcomers begin to adjust to their surroundings and, as a result, enjoy their life more.There are some obvious factors in culture shock. The weather may be unpleasant. The customs may be different. The public service systems---the telephone, post office ,or transportation --may be difficult to work out. The simplest things seem to be big problems. The language may be difficult.Who feels culture shock? Everyone does in this way or that. But culture shock surprises most people. Very often the people having the worst culture shock are those who never had any difficulties in their home countries and were successful in their community. Coming to a new country, these people find they do not have the same established positions. They findthemselves without a role, almost without an identity. They have to build a new self-image.Culture shock causes a feeling of disorientation (迷惘）. This feeling may be homesickness. When homesick, people feel like staying inside all the time. They want to protect themselves from the strange environment, and create an escape inside their room for a sense of security. This escape does solve the problem of culture shock for the short term, but it does nothing to make the person familiar with the culture. Getting to know the new environment and gaining experience--these are the long-term solutions to the problem of culture shock.8.According to the passage, the more successful you are at home, _________________.A. the fewer difficulties you may have abroadB. the more difficulties you may have abroadC. the more money you will earn abroadD. the less homesick you will feel abroad9.Which of the following is NOT right according to the passage?A. “Culture shock” is a term used to describe the feelings that people experience in a ne wenvironmentB. In the second stage of “ Culture shock”, people may hate the life in the newenvironmentC. When you are homesick, you had better not stay at home all the timeD. Every one of us doesn’t feel culture shock in this way or that10.What is the main idea of the last paragraph?A. Escape unfamiliar environmentB. The feeling of homesicknessC. The best way to overcome (克服、战胜）culture shock: get familiar with the new cultureD. Homesickness can solve the problem of culture shock11.What’s the meaning of the underlined word adjust?A. comeB. pastC. adaptD. setDWhen I decided to get married, my father decided to share some wisdom. “Lori, it is just as easy to love a rich man as it is to love a poor man, “ he said.My boyfriend didn’t have much money, but I loved him. “What?” I cried. “ How can you say that? I want to marry for love, NOT for money.” “ But why not marry someone you love who has money?” he asked. “Rich men are materialistic（物质主义的）. I’d rather marry a poor man who loves me,” I said and he gave in.And as we went on, with my family growing, I learned why my father put such importance on money. We had to cover the rent, car, electricity, food, and medical bills. We were under lot of pressure. The worries over whether we would be asked to move out or if we had the money to wash our clothes at the Laundromat this week made me question if I did the right thing by marrying a “poor” man.I realized that I had entered the ranks of the poor. Not that I’d ever bee n rich. Most of my life, I considered us in the lower middle-class rank. We had a house of our own, food on the table, cars, clothes, and money for college. But now, as I listened to an apartment neighbour talk about her monthly “Mother’s Day” gift, I real ized she was talking about her welfare check（政府发放的救济金）. And another young mother tried to “help” me out by connecting me with a friend who stole baby clothes from a department store. “ For a small cut,” she said, “ I could return my ‘purchase’(购买的东西）for ca sh.” It made me sick.
