Ⅳ. 阅读选择（共15个小题，每小题2分；满分30分）

A

Once a month, my friends gather in a book club for talk and homemade coffee cakes, while our children play in another room with a babysitter. I had looked forward to it for weeks. But one morning, when the club planned to discuss a popular new biography(传记), my two-year-old daughter woke with a fever. So we stayed at home.

“What are we going to do today?” I asked.

“Read books.” She said.

“Okay, bring me three books. Three books to start. Then you can help me do some washing.” I said. Then she ran to her room and returned with three books.

After reading, we set the books aside and turned on a movie. My daughter pressed her head against my chest. Stillness. Such a strange feeling. Laundry? Forget it!

Sometimes I persuade myself into thinking that busy is better, and that a satisfying and meaningful lifestyle requires being with friends. But when I’m forced to sit in the slow moments, I begin to see how busy my life has become.

As I sat on the sofa that day with my arms around my daughter and studied her eyes, her red nose and cheeks, I realized that I was not forced to stay at home. Instead, I was spending valuable time with one of the people I love most.

Form that day on, I started planning “sick days”. Sometimes we eat popcorn for breakfast. Sometimes the kids watch a video while I read a book. And when one of my children actually comes down with an illness, I’m more likely to say something like this, “ Sweetie, you have a fever. Free day! Let’s pick storybooks. Today we’re having our own little book club.”
