        My father was a cemetery (公墓)keeper. When I was a child, he often took me there. Before we left each time, he would lay some stones on some graves (坟墓). I never asked why. I just thought that was his work.

        Yesterday, I visited my sick father. He asked me to go to the cemetery and lay some stones. For some reason, it had to be done that day. I agreed. I hadn't been there for a long time.

        When I got there, I found a woman in front of one of the graves I would lay a stone on. As I bent to lay it, I heard her whisper "Thank you". It was then that I noticed the date of death on the grave was that same day. The grave was that of a child, only five when he died fifteen years ago.

        "He's my son," she said. "But, where's your father? He was always the one to leave the stone."

        I told her that my father was ill but he asked me to do this. It seemed important to him. "Your father's kindness means more to me than anything else. When my child died, I came often to see him. It is our custom to leave a stone. It tells the one who is here that he is thought of. But, then we moved away from here…so many painful memories… I was so afraid that he would be alone. But your father marked the grave every time he came. Each time I returned here, I saw that stone and it always comforted me. Your father is the kind of man who would ease the pain of a mother's heart though we are strangers. Just tell him you saw me today, won't you?" she said.

        It took me a minute to find my voice. That small stone marked the grave of a child and the heart of his mother.

    3. (3) What does the underlined word "ease" in Paragraph 5 mean?
      A . Increase. B . Cause C . Reduce. D . Express.

  • 7. (2020九上·湛江期中) 回答问题

        When I was about six years old, I was sure that space aliens had entered my bedroom. One peaceful night, I was in bed, trying to sleep. Suddenly, I heard strange voices whispering(低语) near my bed. I shouted for my parents right away. We looked everywhere but couldn't find anything. I tried to go back to sleep, but the whispering began again. I don't know how many times my parents came to my bedroom that night. I only remembered that none of us could sleep well because of the voices. As a result, I was late for school the next morning.

        "There must be someone hiding in my bedroom, perhaps an alien!" I thought to myself.

        The next night, the same whispering sound came again. Although I was scared, I decided to find the "alien". I searched every corner of my bedroom carefully. Finally, I found it. However, it wasn't the alien that I expected, but an old broken radio in my bookcase. The radio suddenly began to work and the voices came from it.

        Even so, that experience helped me to create a lifelong interest in UFOs and aliens.

        When I was in Grade 5, astronauts were being sent into space for the first time. I would look out of my bedroom's window and search the sky for UFOs. I never saw one, but I did see lots of stars. They were really beautiful and amazing, and maybe the aliens would agree with me.

    1. (1) What did the writer hear on one peaceful night?  
    2. (2) How was the writer when he heard the strange voices?
    3. (3) Did the writer find the "alien" at last?
    4. (4) What influence did the experience make on the writer?
    5. (5) On almost every night, why did the writer look out of the bedroom's window?
