阅读理解。 Never give up Since I was young, my mother has always spent lots of time sitting be-hind a sewing machine (缝纫机) with a happy look on her face. For all the three kids in our family, she has made all the clothes. My mother makes it look so easy, but the first time I tried to make something, I just couldn't do it. I worked too quickly, and when I finished, it looked bad. Soon, I just gave up. This summer, I really wanted to make a dress to wear at a party. I picked out some nice cloth, and I found a nice style in a book. I got so excited about sewing that I couldn't even sleep. I started early the next morning. My mother was at a meeting, so if I had questions, there could be no one to ask. I started sewing slowly and carefully, and I tried to do everything right. When I was sewing the top, I made the neck too small. But the rest was fine. 'I finally made it!' I shouted two hours later. And it fit! For the first time, I couldn't wear something I had made with my own hands! If you want to learn something, my advice is: Don't give up when you can't do it well. Start with something easy, and try your best. 1. How many children are there in the writer's family? __________________________________________________________ 2.
