2023年高一暑假话题阅读专练（词汇积累）：个人经历 （共5题） 一、阅读理解题（共5题） I attended a writer's group to get feedback on my book. But there were so many people there that the discussion was limited. After getting home, my 13-year-old son asked me to read one chapter to him. So I read the chapter about spending my pocket money as a nine-year-old child. The story took place at a lunch counter, where I dreamed of ordering a banana split. Colorful balloons were hung above the counter and a sign said ''Pop a balloon and pay 1 cent to 63 cents for a banana split!'' As I was given only 50 cents for cleaning the doghouse, I didn't dare to ask my parents for any more pocket money without doing more work or risk asking anyone else. So I kept my wish to myself. Frankie listened carefully, as I read the final sentences of the chapter, ''I watched as others selected a balloon to pop and dreamed about the opportunity to take my chance. But it never happened.'' The next morning, Frankie led me to the kitchen. I couldn't believe my eyes. The table was covered in a pile of balloons. Frankie handed me 50 cents and a fork. ''Pop one!'' he urged. With tears in my eyes, I broke one. A piece of paper fell out of the balloon. ''What does it say '' Frankie asked. ''Fifty cents,'' I whispered, too moved to speak loudly. Frankie asked, "Well, do you have 50 cents '' I handed him the money. ''OK!'' Then Frankie pulled out a banana split from the refrigerator. I hugged Frankie hard. We took turns popping the other balloons until I finally got the 1-cent balloon. It was a long-time coming, but worth the wait.
