（2011江西卷）A
Mum, what does it mean when someone tells you that they have a skeleton（骨骼）in the closet（衣橱）? Jessica asked. A skeleton in the closet? her mother paused thoughtfully. Well, its something that you would rather not have anyone else know about. For example, if in the past, someone in Dads family had been arrested for stealing a horse, it would be a skeleton in his familys closet. He really wouldnt want any neighbor to know about it.
Why pick on my family? Jessicas father said with anger. Your family history isnt so good, you know. Wasnt your great-great-grandfather a prisoner who was transported to Australia for his crimes? Yes, but people these days say that you are not a real Australian unless your ancestors arrived as prisoners. Gosh, sorry I asked. I think I understand now, Jessica cut iin before things grew worse.
After dinner, the house was very quiet. Jessicas parents were still quite angry with each other. Her mother was ironing clothes and every now and then she glared at her husband, who hid behind his newspaper pretending to read. When she finished, she gathered the freshly pressed clothes in her arms and walked to Jessicas closet. Just as she opened the door and reached in to hang a skirt, a bony arm stuck out from the dark depths and a bundle of white bones fell to the floor. Jessicas mother sank in a faint（晕倒）, waking only when Jessica put a cold, wet cloth on her forehead. She looked up to see the worried faces of her husband and daughter.
What happened? Where am I? she asked. You just destroyed the schools skeleton, Mum, explained Jessica. I brought it home to help me with my health project. I meant to tell you, but it seemed that as soon as I mentioned skeletons and closets, it caused a problem between you and Dad. Jessica looked in amazement as her parents began to laugh madly. Theyre both crazy, she thought.
56.According to Jessicas mother, a skeleton in the close means ______.
A.a family honorB.a family secret
C.a family storyD.a family treasure
57.What can we learn about some Australians ancestors form Paragraph 2?
A.They were brought to Australia as prisoners.
B.They were the earliest people living in Australia.
C.They were involved in some crimes in Australia.
D.They were not regarded as criminals in their days.
58.Jessicas mother fell down into a faint because she was ______.
A.knockedB.frightenedC.injuredD.surprised
59.Why did Jessica bring a skeleton home?
A.She was curious about it.B.She planned to keep it for fun.
C.She needed it for her school task.D.She intended to scare her parents.
60.Jessicas parents laughed madly at the end of the story probably because ______.
