Question

【題目】My children are growing up fast. My daughter is 16 and my boy is already in junior high school. As they get bigger, our house seems to get smaller. So we want to sell some of our things in a yard sale(庭院拍賣會) and give the money to a children’s home.

We have already cleared out a lot of things from our bedrooms. We have decided to each sell five things that we no longer use. My son was quite sad at first. Although he has not played with his old toys for a long time, he still wanted to keep them. For example, he has owned a train and railway set since his fourth birthday, and he played with it almost every week until he was about seven And he did not want to lose his toy monkey, either. He slept next to the monkey every night when he was a child. My daughter was more understanding, although she also felt sad to part with(出讓) certain toys, and my wife wouldn't like to lose her hats which were out of fashion.

As for me, I did not want to give up my football shirts, but, to be honest, I have not played for a while now. I am getting older, too!

【1】細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第一段中的 “As they get bigger，our house seems to get smaller. So we want to sell some of our things in a yard sale(庭院拍賣會）...” 可知，我們決定賣一些東西，為的是“騰出更多的空間”，故答案為B。
