At the age of sixteen, I joined a volunteer group with my dad. I went on my first volunteer project in West Virginia. On the night we arrived, we discovered that “our family” was living in a trailer(拖车) that was in poor condition. A crew had been working on it for two weeks, but every time they finished one problem, another surfaced.
We decided the only reasonable solution was to build a new house – something unusual but necessary under these circumstances. The family was overjoyed with their new house that was twenty by thirty feet with three bedrooms, a bath and a kitchen.
On Tuesday of that week, while we ate lunch together, I asked the family’s three boys, Josh, Eric and Ryan, What do you want for your new room? Expecting toys and other gadgets that children usually ask for, we were surprised when Josh responded, I just want a bed.
The boys had never slept in a bed! They were accustomed to plastic mats. That night we had a meeting and decided that beds would be the perfect gift. On Thursday night, a few adults in our group drove to the nearest city and bought beds and new bedding.
When we saw the delivery truck coming, we told the family about the surprise. We could hardly contain ourselves. It was like watching excited children on Christmas morning.
That afternoon, as we fitted the frames of the beds tog tether, Eric ran into the house to watch us. Too dirty to enter his room, he observed with wide-eyed enthusiasm from the doorway.
As my father slipped a pillowcase onto one of the pillows, Eric asked, What is that?
A pillow, she replied.
What do you do with it? Eric continued to ask.
When you go to sleep, you put your head on it,” I answered softly. Tears came to our eyes as she handed Eric the pillow.
Oh . . . that's soft, he said, hugging it tightly.
Now, when my sister or I start to ask for something that seems urgent, my Dad gently asks, Do you have a pillow?
We know exactly what he means.

(答案→)B 解析:文章讲述作者十六岁时和父亲一起做志愿者时所见所闻。一个家庭的贫穷深深的震撼了他们:他们从来没有睡过床,从来没有见过枕头。【小题1】推理判断题。从第一段第三句we discovered that “our family” was living in a trailer...和第二段的第二句The family was overjoyed with their new house可知答案为B【小题2】细节理解题。从第二段最后一句we were surprised when Josh responded, I just want a bed.及第三段第一句The boys had never slept in a bed!可推断出答案D【小题3】细节理解题。从第七段至第十段Eric与父亲的对话可知,Eric不知枕头是什么。【小题4】推理判断题。根据上文的内容Eric一家连枕头都没见过,结合最后一段内容可推断:父亲认为我们要求的东西只是看起来急需实际可能并不必要。故选择答案A.
