Question

    When I was in high school, I worked part-time helping dad sell fruits and vegetables at a market. One day, as I was preparing the fruits, a little boy came by with his mom and sister. He was about eight years old, and the girl was five or six. They were looking at the fruits in front of me. I heard the kids say to their mom (in French), "They're good!" I knew it was French, because I can speak and understand it.

Then I noticed how mom was picking the fruits. At first, I thought she was really looking at the fruits because she was facing them, but then I noticed how much she had to feel and smell each one as she picked them out. And she often asked her son if it looked okay, but looked way above where his face was. Putting what I saw together, I was sure she was blind.

Both of the kids helped their mom pick out the fruits. The son made sure the fruits were not bad, and the daughter handed them to her mom. The woman then felt each one and smiled, and the daughter would put them into their basket. The kids were smiling while helping their mom pick the fruits out.

Their smile and gentle manner（举止）moved me in a way that never happened before. It was so beautiful to see such young kids so happy to help. Most kids at that age would be picking out candies or toys in a store for themselves, instead of（而不是）helping their mom pick out fruits, as the two kids did.

It was great to see the moment, but not so great because I didn't tell the mom how beautiful her children were in their language.

【解析】

本文是一篇记叙文，主要讲述了作者看到的“美好时刻”。作者在高中时兼职帮助爸爸在市场上出售水果和蔬菜。有一天，一个小男孩和他的妈妈和妹妹过来买水果，妈妈是盲人，她的孩子们微笑着帮妈妈挑水果，那种和谐温暖的画面很美很感人。作者认为看到这样的小孩如此自愿帮忙真是太美了。大多数年龄相仿的孩子会在自己的商店里挑选糖果和玩具，而不是像两个孩子那样帮妈妈挑选水果。

1.细节理解题。根据第一段中“They were looking at the fruits in front of me.”他们在看我前面的水果。可知妈妈和孩子们来市场买水果，故选A。

2.细节理解题。根据第二段中“…but then I noticed how much she had to feel and smell each one as she picked them out. And she often asked her son if it looked okay, but looked way above where his face was.” 但后来我注意到，当她把它们挑出来的时候，她是多么需要去感受和闻它们。她经常问她的儿子看起来是否不错，但是她看着他的脸的上方。可知，这位妈妈是盲人，不能够看见东西。故选B。

3.细节理解题。根据“It was so beautiful to see such young kids so willingly help.”看到这么小的孩子如此乐于助人是件美好的事情。可知作者因为孩子们乐于助人而感动。故选D。

4.最佳标题题。根据“It was great to see the moment, but not so great because I didn't tell the mom how beautiful her children were in their language.” 看到这一刻真好，但不是很好，因为我不能用他们的语言告诉妈妈她的孩子有多漂亮。可知作者因为这一刻而感动，故本文合适的题目应该为“美好时刻”，故选C。
