On Sunday I took part in Tomato Sauce Day of my friend Deb's family. I am thankfulfor my beautiful friend to share this family milestone (里程碑) event.Nine family members, myself and a few friends, took part in the day. Sunday was aspecial day because it was the last time that Tomato Sauce Day event would be carried out atGrandma's home. Tomato Sauce Day is going to be different next year in terms of thesurrounds (環(huán)境), however, I have a feeling that all else will remain unchanged.Grandma passed away 5 years ago, and Deb and her uncle bought the property (地產(chǎn)).Plans are in progress to begin building two new homes on the same place.I listened to the family discussing the activities of the day, past sauce days andmemories. A love of the tradition of the day and happy memories of sharing the day withfamily members who have passed away were recounted. The value of spending time togetheras a family was obvious.The basic process and recipe (菜譜) for the sauce made by Deb's family remains thesame way as it is still done in Grandma's village today:• The event takes place once a year.

• Sauce is made by the family, for the family for the year ahead.

• The sauce is made with just salt added to the tomatoes. This allows the family to use it throughout the year in various dishes as the base ingredient (食材). They add their own preferred ingredients in the cooking process.

• The women prepare and make the sauce, the men are not involved. The women start theday with a visit to the community garden to collect the tomatoes and then they began thepreparation. Once the sauce is cooking, it is lunch time and time for the family to catchup. Tomato Sauce Day is relived by the family all over the year as they open each bottleof red tomato goodness. I am looking forward to trying my sauce tonight. I feel like Ineed to make home?made pasta to eat it!

1.What event did the writer take part in on Sunday?

2.Where was the event carried out this year?

3.How do the family use the sauce?

4.What do the women do to start the day?

5.Why is the event a family milestone event?

Father and son

The other day, I was sitting in the study and working on my website, a cup of tea on the table and old songs from my computer. It was a special pleasure to have such a _________ day after weeks of hiking, snowboarding and going crazy.

“Hi dad! Want some orange juice, graybeard?” Coyote yelled (叫喊) to me much louder than_________“No, just bring me some chips!” I shouted back.

One time, when I misheard what he said three times in a row, he ___________that I had become too old and started to hear worse. Since then, yelling at me has become a kind of family joke.

Pushing everything to the limit was the basis of Coyote's character. On one hand, it helped him to achieve tasks he had to do on his own, and he did great, making me proud of him. On the other hand, this brought him___________, as he did not know when to stop. At such moments, I would behave super?fatherly, and give him advice and warnings that he usually ignored (忽視). When he wore a green haircut, I would try to convince (說服) him to paint it black. When he got a tattoo (紋身), we had a / an _________ . All these surely drove me mad, and the big fights started. It is strange but when I was a teenager, my father would act exactly the same and it took me a long time to understand him.

“Dad, let me show you something,” Coyote said as he was getting back. “Don't get too _________ , okay?” I sighed (嘆氣), because I was almost sure of what I was about to see.

When he ___________his T-shirt, I saw a new tattoo: some Buddhist symbol, I guess.Coyote has been interested in Asian culture for a long time.

“Control yourself, graybeard,” I said to myself, trying not to yell something like,“Why the hell would you need another tattoo after you already made that huge first one?”

The next moment I realized that my yelling would not _________ anything; the tattoo was already on Coyote's skin.

And then I thought: “Hey, what if I get a tattoo myself?”

1.A. busy B. blue C. strange D. peaceful

2.A. needed B. expected C. accepted D. imagined

3.A. complained B. realized C. joked D. shouted

4.A. tiredness B. honors C. happiness D. troubles

5.A. agreement B. argument C. decision D. discussion

6.A. mad B. curious C. excited D. nervous

7.A. hid B. showed C. lifted D. hung

8.A. interrupt B. change C. test D. cost
