Two children stood outside the door with old coats. “Any old papers, lady?” asked one of them.

I was busy. I wanted to say no, but I saw that their shoes had holes in them and they were wet. “Come in and I’ll make you a cup of hot tea. ” They came in, saying nothing. Their shoes left prints on the floor.

I gave them tea and bread to protect (保护) them from the cold outside. Then I went back to the kitchen and started my housework again.

The silence in the living room surprised me. I looked in.

The girl held the empty cup in her hands, looking at it. The boy asked me in a low voice, “Lady, are you rich?”

Am I rich? Oh, no! I looked at the old things in my room.

The girl put her cup back in its saucer(茶碟) carefully and said, “Your cups match(相配) your saucers. ”

Then they left, holding their papers against the wind. They hadn’t said thank you. They didn’t need to. They had done more than that. They had reminded me that I had so much to thank for. The blue cups and saucers were simple, but they matched. The potatoes and meat before me, a roof over my head, my husband with a job—these things matched, too.

I moved the chairs back from the fire and cleaned the living room. The prints of their small shoes were still wet on my floor. I let them be. I wanted them there to remind me how rich I was.

【回答】

1. A  由文中第二段的Come in and I’ll make you a cup of hot tea.（进来，我给你们泡杯热茶。）和第三段的I gave them tea and bread to protect（保护）them from the cold outside.（我给他们茶和面包来抵御外面的寒冷。）可知选A。

2. C  由文中孩子的话语Your cups match your saucers.（你的茶杯和茶碟很配）可知孩子们对这个家庭的羡慕，由此看出他们对于该家的印象就是“富有”，故选C。

3. A  因为孩子们离开之前根本没有说谢谢，不可能选D；作者的丈夫有工作，排除B；客厅很安静，令我惊讶，排除C；而整个倒数第二段说的就是，孩子们的言行让作者感悟到了对生活的感觉，那就是：你感觉一切*，那也会万事顺利的，故选A。

4. B  猜测句意要结合语意、语境和上下文，前句意为“他们的小脚印仍在我的地板上”，后句意为“我想让它们在那里，提醒我自己有多富有”，故可推知这里是“不管它们，让它们在那里”，故选B。

5. D  本文讲述了我给两个孩子热茶、面包的故事，其主旨就在于表达我对富有与否所持的观点：你对生活的观点决定了你是否富有，故选D。
