word quite naturally and we understood each other So far as I knew it was a word like any other word like bath or chocolate or homework But it was my homework which led to my discovery that grinnies was a word not known outside my family My last report card had said that I was a C student in English and my parents both teachers decided that no child of theirs would be just an average student of anything So nightly I spelled words aloud and answered questions about the fine points of grammar I wrote and rewrote and rewrote every composition until I convinced my mother that I could make no more improvements And the hard work paid off One day the teacher returned compositions and there it was a big fat bright red A on the top of my paper Naturally I was delighted but I didn t know I was attracting attention until the teacher spoke sharply Helen what are you doing 4 Called suddenly out of my happy thoughts I said Oh I ve got the grinnies The teacher and my classmates burst into laughter and then I understood that grinnies were used inside my family Other people were not so lucky And it is really lucky to have the grinnies an uncontrollable natural state of great pleasure Grinnies are shown on the outside by sparkling eyes and a wide wide smile not just any smile but one that shows the teeth and stretches the mouth to its limits A person experiencing the grinnies appears to be all mouth On the inside grinnies are characterized by a feeling of joyful anxiety Grinnies usually last just a few seconds but they can come and go Sometimes when life seems just perfect I have occasional attacks of the grinnies for a whole day The term originated in my mother s family Her younger sister Rose who had deep dimples 酒窝 often expressed her pleasure with such a grin that the dimples appeared to become permanent When Rose was about four she started explaining her funny look by saying I have the grinnies The term caught on and it has been an important word in our family now for two generations The occasion doesn t matter Anything can bring on the grinnies just so long as one feels great delight When my brother finally rode his bicycle without training wheels from our house to the corner and back he came home with the grinnies When I was little my mother s announcement that we would have homemade ice cream for dessert always gave me the grinnies My father had the grinnies when I was chosen to make a speech at the end of school year ceremony Grinnies can be brought on by a good meal a sense of pride a new friend a telephone call from someone special an achievement Or sometimes one gets the grinnies for no reason at all just a sudden sense of happiness can bring on a case Whatever brings them on an attack of the grinnies is among life s greatest pleasures In fact now that I look back on the experience I feel sorry for my seventh grade teacher I think it s a pity that she didn t know the word grinnies 5 It s such a useful term for saying I m really really pleased 46 After the writer was twelve years old she A thought everyone knew the meaning of grinnies B equaled grinnies to bath or chocolate in meaning C got to know grinnies was used

meet her parent D has no idea of what grinnies is 50 What method does the writer use to explain grinnies A Cause and effect B Examples C Comparison and contrast D Process 参考答案 46 50 CCBDB 结束结束 A A 6
