一、阅读单选

（2022·广东·广州市海珠区珠江中学三模）Somebody called for Mom. It was somebody from school. I didn’t really catch the name. I said my mom was mowing the lawn, and so the lady asked if I could take a message. I said, “Sure.”

Then, she started talking about cakes and Thursday after school and I said sure, cakes were great. I was trying to get my maths homework down because Raj was waiting for me next door. Then, the lady said something about the principal and I said, “Sure, I know,” because everyone knows the principal. Finally, she stopped talking and said, “Okay?”

I said, “Okay.” Then, I remembered to say, “Thank you for calling.” Just like Mom taught me. Then, I hang up, finished my math, and headed for Raj’s house.

I didn’t remember the call until the next morning at breakfast. “Oh, you had a call yesterday when you were out mowing the lawn, Mom.”

“Oh? Who was it, Kyle?” she said, between toast bites.

Uhhh. Think, think. “It was about Thursday after school,” I said, announcing the only detail I could remember. “What about it?” Mom was getting a little prickly. I knew I had to deal with this well.

“There’s a bake sale. The principal was asking for stuff（东西）.” I felt good about remembering the principal.

Well, to make a long story short, it was the president of the PTO who called. Mom said she’s very important. She was asking if Mom could bake a cake for the principle because they were going to surprise him for his birthday.

Mom showed up on Thursday after school with a little plate of cookies, thinking there was a bake sale. Mrs. Essman looked at her like she was from Mars and asked where the cake was. Of course, Mom didn’t know anything about a cake or a birthday or anything. Now, I’m in the doghouse, and my brother and I have to learn telephone manners from Mom.

（2022·内蒙古呼和浩特·中考真题）Why is Becky upset? Read what she wrote in her diary to find out.

Sunny October 13There’s a new girl named Sasha in our class. Mrs Ramirez put Sasha at our table, right next to me. Then Mrs Ramirez said, “Becky, I know you’ll be a big help to Sasha.” I smiled at Sasha, and she smiled back. Maybe we’ll become friends. It would be so great to have a new friend!

Cloudy October 17

I am really upset with Sasha. I’m not sure if I want to be her friend. I’ve been trying hard to be nice, but today she got me in big trouble! When the break ended this afternoon, Mrs Ramirez asked me to bring the kickball inside and put it away. When I walked into the classroom, I broke a rule—I kicked the ball indoors. The ball knocked over a flower pot (盆). Since Mrs Ramirez was still out in the hall, all I had to do was to pick up the pot pieces and clean up the floor. But before I could, Sasha ran and got Mrs Ramirez. How terrible! Now I have to stay inside! I am so mad at Sasha!

Sunny October 21Today our class went to the computer lab. When the lesson was over, Mr Munn reminded us to turn off the computers and printers. Then we lined up and waited to be dismissed. That was when I noticed that the computer and printer that Sasha had used were still on. I thought about telling Mr Munn. But instead, I walked out of line quietly and turned off the machines. When I got back in line, Sasha was smiling at me. She made a silent “thanks” with her mouth.

Maybe Sasha and I can be friends after all.
