情境素材 藏在沙发缝隙的“爱」「2026河南省实验中学月考」
阅读下面短文,从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。
When I was a young boy, we lived just down the road from a public swimming pool. During the summer months, I would be there almost every day swimming and playing for hours. 5 You could buy a cup of Coca-Cola for 15 cents and a bag of chips was only ten cents. Often Mom or Grandma would give me a quarter before I left, so I could have a snack there. 6 That was when I would try the sofa cushions (靠垫).
I would pull them out and stretch (伸长) my little arms deep into the crevices (缝隙) of the sofa, hoping to find some pocket money that had fallen out of someone's pockets. 7 Then I would run off to the swimming pool with change in my hand and happiness in my heart.
It is only recently, however, that I realized I found change there a lot during the summertime. I remember looking between the sofas in the winter a few times and not even finding a penny. Although I never saw them, I think that Mom, Grandma, Dad, or all three of them would drop change down there for me to find. 8 Of course, they never said a word about it even after I had grown up. I guess some secrets are too good to share.
9 You get no thanks for it, at least not to your face. Yet, it fills your heart with happiness.
A.The best thing of all was that they had a shop there.
B.Often to my happiness, I would find some money.
C.Sometimes, though, they weren't at home or were busy working.
