Sitting on the porch (门廊) of an aging home, you can see shadows on the lawn moving as the wind passes through the trees.
A leaf floats to the ground, suggesting the coming of fall.
This wide porch was built as the main part of the home. The rest of the house surrounds it on both sides, like huge arms extending a hug.
Countless stories have been shared on this porch by every member of the family for over 30 years.
The family that grew here enjoyed everyday pleasures-singing in the car, laughter at mealtime and football games on Sundays.
When the father hit 55, his wife insisted he quit playing Sunday afternoon football with the kids.
The mother never played, as she was stricken with a temble illness after the birth of their second child and before the births of their next three. Never able to walk again. she managed to carry on anyway and raise her five children. Sometimes. she even had to manage by dragging herself across the floor.
She never complained (抱怨 ) about the challenges of her illness. nor did her husband complain about the extra care he had to give his wife after she became ill.
There's something familiar when you enter the house. lt's the smell of old books and magazines, the sheet music on the piano, and the pictures of the family hanging in every room.
The homeowners are no longer there-they both recently passed away. And yet. their lives are still in the hearts of family and friends.
They weren't rock stars or celebrities (名人) and they won't be remembered in history books. Yet they made a history of their own. by creating simple beauty in everyday life and by living through challenges without complaining.
That is truly the best remembrance of all.

26．【答案】C。解析：细节题。根据第三段“This wide porch was built as the main part of the home．The rcstof the house surrounds it on both sides．like huge arms extending a hug“可知，A项错误。B项原文未提及。根据第四段“Countless stories have been shared on this porch by every member of the family for over 30 years”可知，C项正确。从第一段中的“Sitting on the porch（门廊）of an aging home”可知D项错误。故本题选C。
27．【答案】B。解析：推断题。根据第五段中的“The family that grew here enjoyed everyday pleasures”可知．A项错误。根据文章可知，虽然这家人遇到了困难，但还是很积极、乐观地面对生活．B项正确。C项原文未提及，可排除。根据第七段可知，文中的母亲因为疾病从来不踢足球，D项说法过于绝对，可排除。故本题选B。
28．【答案】A。解析：细节题。optimistic“乐观的”，tolerant“宽容的，容忍的”，complaining“抱怨的，诉苦的”，grateful“感激的”。根据文章可知，该家庭过着艰辛但是幸福的日子。根据第八段可知，文中的母亲从来没有因为患病而抱怨，父亲也没有因为需要照顾母亲而抱怨过，由此可推知这对夫妇是以乐观的心态对待生活中的苦难。故本题选A。
29．【答案】D。解析：推断题。纵观全文，作者从老宅引入，追忆了曾住在这里的一家人，他们虽然生活艰辛却始终保持乐观心态，笑对挑战。作者写此文是为了追忆那些难忘的时光。由此可知，D项“追忆曾住在这所宅子的一家人”最符合文意，A、B、C三项均偏离主旨。
