Lily is a student from Grade Five. She didn’t know what a timeline was. So she asked her father for help. Her father said, “That is a list of important events(事件) in your life.”
“Can you show me how to make a timeline, Dad?”
“Sure! Let’s take out a piece of paper, a pencil and a ruler.”
Then Lily used the pencil and the ruler to draw a straight line. Then her father marked a small line across the longer line at the left end. Near the small line, he wrote “Lily is born.”
“Why did you make that small line at the left end, Dad?” Lily asked.
“On a timeline, we order events from left to right. We place the first event on the left end and the last event on the right end.”
Lily then wrote the day, month, and year of her birthday under the first line. Her dad drew another small line to the right of the first small line. He wrote “Lily learns to walk.” over that line. Then he marked another small line to the right of the second small line. Over this line he wrote “Lily starts school.”
“Oh! I still remember how I learned to ride my bike. It was exciting!”
“Right! We should write that,” her dad said.
“I want to draw a picture about it,” Lily told her dad. She made a drawing of herself riding a bike and put it on the paper. Her dad put a photo of Lily’s first day of school on the timeline, too.
In the end, they finished their work. Lily said, “That timeline is a picture of my life.”

1. 词义猜测题：根据第一段父亲表述“That is a list of important events in your life”，结合后文“On a timeline, we order events from left to right. We place the first event on the left end and the last event on the right end”，可知timeline是按时间顺序排列人生重要事件的列表，即“时间轴”，对应选项D。
2. 图文理解题：文中明确timeline的事件排列规则为“从左到右按时间先后排列，最先发生的事件在左侧，最后发生的在右侧”，Lily的事件顺序为：Lily is born → Lily learns to walk → Lily starts school → Lily learns to ride a bike，选项C的顺序与之一致，故选C。
