My family came to America in 1985. _21_ of us spoke a word of English. Each morning
I disliked going to school for fear of not 22 what people were saying.
Very soon my mother noticed something was 23 me. The pain and care I saw in her
moonshaped eyes made me burst into tears. I explained to her the 24 I had of going to school. “Learning English is not 25 ，” my mother said. She cheerfully 26 the two of us work together to learn the language at home. The 27 and determination my mother had were admirable because English was as 28 to her as it was to me.
That afternoon，I saw my mother in a different light as she 29 me by the school
fence. She was the shortest of all the mothers there， 30 , her face with her weling smile and big，black eyes was the most 31 . The afternoon sun shone 32 on her long，black hair creating an atmosphere that made her different from others.
My mother and I immediately began reading together and 33 five new words a
day. My mother，with her encouraging attitude，made the routine (惯例) fun and interesting. The fact that she was sacrificing (牺牲) her 34 time before going to work so that I could learn English made me see the 35 she owned. Very soon I began to understand what everyone was saying.

【小题1】作者担心听不懂别人说的话。

【小题1】母亲说学英语不是不可能的，表明了她的决心和信心。
【小题1】句意：她高兴地建议我们两人在家一起学英语。suggest sb.(should) do sth.“建议某人做某事”，符合上下文。
【小题1】句意：母亲的信心和决心令人佩服。
【小题1】母亲和作者都没有学过英语，故英语对她们来说是新事物。
【小题1】母亲去接孩子，应是在校外等候，故C项正确。

【小题1】hopeful “有希望的”，指母亲的表情让我看到希望。
【小题1】句意：下午的阳光明亮地照在她那长长的乌发上，产生了一种美感，使她与众不同。
