Now, he spends his afternoons alone with his computer.
The main idea is ________.2. We’ve had Ginger since I was two years old. Every morning, she wakes me up by licking my cheek. That’s her way of telling me she’s hungry. When she wants attention, she’ll weave in and out of my legs and meow until I pick her up and hold her. And I can always tell when Ginger wants to play. She’ll bring me her toys and will keep dropping them (usually right on my homework!) until I stop what I’m doing and play with her for a while.
A good topic sentence for this paragraph would be ________.3. My “office” measures a whopping 5 feet by 7 feet. A large desk is squeezed into one corner, leaving just enough room for a rickety chair between the desk and the wall. Yellow paint is peeling off the walls in dirty chunks. The ceiling is barely six feet tall; it’s like a hat that I wear all day long. The window, a single two-foot by two-foot pane, looks out onto a solid brick wall just two feet away.
The main idea of this paragraph is that ________.4. If you’re a fitness walker, there is no need for a commute to a health club. Your neighborhood can be your health club. You don’t need a lot of fancy equipment to get a good workout either. All you need is a well-designed pair of athletic shoes.

This paragraph best supports the statement that ________. 篇章阅读理解：请阅读下面的文章，并回答问题。（每题2分，5小题，共10分）First, you ought to know that I’m “only” fourteen. My mother points this out often. I can make my own decisions when I’m old enough to vote, she says. Second, I should tell you that she’s right—I’m not always responsible. I sometimes take the prize for grade-A dork. Take last weekend, for instance. I was staying at Dad’s, and I decided it was time I learned to drive. It was Sunday morning, 7 A.M., and I hadn’t slept well. I’d been up thinking about an argument, which I’ll tell you about in a minute. Well, nobody was up yet in the neighborhood, so I thought it couldn’t hurt to back the car out of the garage and drive around the block. But Dad has a clutch car. The R on the shift handle was up on the left side, right next to first gear. I guess you can guess the rest.
Dad’s always been understanding. He didn’t say, “Okay, little Miss Know-It-All, you can just spend the rest of the year paying this off,” which is what Mom would have said. Instead, Dad worried about what might have happened to me. To me. And that made me feel more guilty than anything. I think he’d be a better number-one caregiver, but I can’t say things like that to Mom. To her, I have to say, “But Mom, Dad’s place is closer to school. I could ride my bike.”
To which she replies, “Amy Lynn, you don’t own a bike. Remember? You left it in the yard, and it was stolen. And you haven’t got the patience to earn the money to replace it.”1. How does the narrator show how she feels about her dad and mom?

B. can make her own decisions.
C. should live with her mom or her dad.
D. should pay for things she loses or breaks.4. The narrator’s mom thinks the narrator is ________.
A. too attached to her dad.
B. too emotional.
C. too shy.
D. irresponsible.5. What most likely happened with the car?
A. The narrator put the car in first gear instead of reverse. She ran into the garage wall.
