三. 阅读理解(每小题2分，共30分)

❋ A ❋

Before every Mother’s Day, you may rush around to try to find the perfect present. But stores don’t carry what most moms want. Moms know you love them, but they like reminders. So on the next two pages, some kids shared what they appreciate (感谢) about their moms.

I appreciate my mom because she helps me know when I’m wrong or right. When I don’t know what to do, she is there. The thing I appreciate most about her is that she kisses my head every night.6

— Amy, 11

My mother shows me that she loves me in so many ways. She helps me with my homework, drives me to camps, makes delicious breakfasts for me and reads books with me. She is a great role model to me because she keeps studying while working a full-time job and taking care of our family. My mother is a great mom!

— Miles, 11

What I appreciate about my mom is that she is funny and nice. When I am in any difficult situation, she is always the first one there. When I have games, she comes every time. She always pays attention to me. She knows how good I can be, and pushes me to do what I want to.

— Lisa, 13

I love my mom because she is very different from most moms. She is my best friend and she is the only one who understands me. She helps me see the world in a different way. She also pushes me to follow my dreams. I’ll remember everything she did.

— Scott, 13
