专题02 阅读理解15篇

It was just pumpkins we were looking for that October Saturday. We were searching for pumpkins that we could carve into fantastic jack-o’-lanterns. We wanted to laugh at their silly faces. We wanted lots of them to decorate our front porch. My brother Tim and I went to the store where we usually get pumpkins every year. They said they only had some baby ones that were too small to carve.

Now what would we do? We went home, wondering if Mom or Dad would have any ideas. Dad said he would take us for a ride to see if a roadside vegetable stand had some pumpkins. “I can’t believe they won’t.” he said. “It’s October after all.” So we piled into the car and drove out of town. The vegetable stand wasn’t there. And we didn’t see any others either. Dad said that he couldn’t figure out where the farmers were selling their vegetables these days. By that time, you can imagine how __________ Tim and I felt. Maybe we wouldn’t have any jack-o’-lanterns this year.

I guess Mom knew the minute she saw us that we had been unsuccessful. But she said we should all just come with her. This time she drove. Where was she taking us? A secret pumpkin store? She seemed to know exactly where she was going.

As she turned the car into the parking lot of City Hall, we saw a farmers’ market. Wow! This is where all the farmers brought their vegetables! There were thousands of pumpkins. Huge ones, tiny ones, medium-sized ones. We’d never seen so many pumpkins to choose from!

We used some of our own money on the biggest one we’d ever had. We got some ordinary-sized ones too. Even Dad and Mom helped carve them. We had so much fun. And our porch is now a fantastic sight!
