What will you do when you have something difficult to do? I used to ask my mother for help. But she always said, “Do it yourself, dear.” I was not glad at all. I thought she was the laziest mother in the world!

For example, one day, I decided to invite some friends to my home. My bedroom was not in order. Books were everywhere. And I didn’t make the bed. I asked my mother to help me to clean it, but she still said, “Do it yourself, girl.”

Because of my “lazy mother”, I have to wash my clothes and clean my room. I have to help my parents do some housework. I even have to go to the dentist by myself. It is really hard for me to do everything well, but I have learned a lot.

As time goes by, I come to understand my mother. She makes me clever and active! What a great mother! A good mother is worth(值……) one hundred teachers! Don’t you think so?

1. C  由短文第一段中I used to ask my mother for help.可知答案应为C。

2. A  由下句句意“书到处是”可推断出作者的房间很乱，故前句句意应为“我的卧室不整洁”。答案应为A。

3. C  由短文第一段中But she always said, “Do it yourself, dear.”和第二段末句中but she still said, “Do it yourself, girl.”可推知妈妈一直想要培养孩子独立的意识，因此不可能主动提出帮助，故选C。

4. B  由短文第三段大意“母亲不提供帮助，作者只能自己学着做每一件事”可知B选项“独立做每件事”符合文意。
