泛读2U6课外阅读Passage 6 (Unit 6, Book II: Fathers and sons: the Bonding Process.Family) The pickle jar as far back as I can remember sat on the floor beside the dresser in my parents' bedroom. When he got ready for bed, Dad would empty his pockets and toss his coins into the jar.When the jar was filled, we would take the coins to the bank. Each and every time, as he slid the box of coins across the counter at the bank toward the cashier, he would grin proudly. "These are for my son's college fund. He'll never work at the mill all his life like me."The years passed, and I finished college and took a job. Once, while visiting my parents, I noticed that the pickle jar in my parents' bedroom was gone. A lump rose in my throat as I stared at the spot beside the dresser where the jar had always stood. My dad was a man of few words, and never lectured me on the values of determination, perseverance, and faith. The pickle jar had taught me all these virtues far more eloquently than the most flowery of words could have done.When I married, I told my wife Susan about the significant part the lowly pickle jar had played in my life. In my mind, it defined, more than anything else, how much my dad had loved me. No matter how rough things got at home, Dad continued to doggedly drop his coins into the jar.The first Christmas after our daughter Jessica was born, we spent the holiday with my parents. After dinner, Susan carried the baby into my parents' bedroom to diaper her. When Susan came back into the living room, there was a strange mist in her eyes. She took my hand and leading me into the room."Look," she said softly, her eyes directing me to a spot on the floor beside the dresser. To my amazement, there, as if it had never been removed, stood the old pickle jar, the bottom already covered with coins. I walked over to the pickle jar, dug down into my pocket, and pulled out a fistful of coins.With the strong emotion choking me, I dropped the coins into the jar. I looked up and saw Dad who is carrying Jessica. Our eyes locked, and I knew he was feeling the same emotions I felt.Neither one of us could speak.1.Dad is most likely to agree to compare the pickle jar to __________.A. a farm toolB. a piggy bankC. a teaching aidD. a family tradition2.It can be inferred that the pickle jar was once gone because __________.A.the parents didn’t save money any moreB.the author didn’t have to depend on the parents any moreC.the financial situation of the family had greatly changedD.the author had fulfilled all his ambitions3.By saying that “Dad continued to doggedly d rop his coins into the jar” (Line 3, Para. 4), theauthor intends to point out that father was __________.A.industriousB.considerateC.determinedD.far-sighted4.When Susan saw the old pickle jar in the bedroom, she__________.A.was curious about what was insideB.was bewildered by what it might stand forC.was surprised by its reappearanceD.was moved by the parents’ love for Jessica5.Which of the following is CORRECT about Dad, according to the passage?A.Dad had put coins into the pickle jar again for quite some time.B.Dad never intended to let the author know about the pickle jar.C.Dad never taught the author about the values of virtues.D.Dad wanted to set an example for the author as a father.。

Text TwoSleeping Ugly1．Princess Miserella was a beautiful princess if you counted her eyes and nose and mouth and all the way down to her toes. But inside, where it was hard to see, she was the meanest, wickedest, and most worthless princess around. She liked stepping on dogs. She kicked kittens. She threw pies in the cook’s face. And she never─not even once─said thank you or please. And besides, she told lies。
2．In that very same kingdom，in the middle of the woods，lived a poor orphan named Plain Jane。
She certainly was. Her hair was short and turned down. Her nose was long and turned up. And even if they had been the other way round, she would not have been a great beauty. But she loved animals, and she was always kind to strange old ladies。
3．One day Princess Miserella rode out of the palace in a huff。
