and I were helping with the Valentine"s Day rush of 2011. We"d been preparing hundreds of berries,
arranged gift baskets and packaged orders to be shipped around the country.
By the end of the day and I were exhausted. Shari didn"t seem tired. That was what Shari liked doing
especially when she gave someone else something. I"d seen her give away berries to everybody-parking
attendants, mail carriers, hairdressers. "For me?" they"d say, breaking into a smile.
As a "thank you", Shari took us out for dinner. But there was a 45-munite wait at her favorite
restaurant. "No big deal. There"s another place just up the road," she said, driving us there. This time we
walked right in. While the waitress took our drink orders Shari reached into her handbag, pulling
something out.
"I want you to have these," she said, handing the waitress a box of chocolate-dipped strawberries.
"Will she love those berries!"I said to myself. But the waitress seemed extremely surprised. She hardly
let out a "Thank you" before grabbing the box and rushing into the kitchen.
A few minutes later, the waitress returned with our iced tea. " I apologize," she said. " It"s just …my
best friend and I made an agreement to send each other something every Valentine"s Day. But she passed
last year. I didn"t know how I"d get through this day without her. Then you handed me that box."
"I"m so sorry to hear that," said Shari. " It"s not much, but I hope you can enjoy them."
"Oh, I will," the waitress said. " See, every year we always sent each other the same thing: a box of
chocolate-dipped strawberries bought from our favorite store, The Berry Factory.
B. something about The Berry Factory
C. how they celebrated Valentine"s Day
D. what they did on Valentine"s Day

举一反三
sister and I thought every family was like that. Every family had an unpredictable dad who was impossible
to please and a praying mom who was there to protect the children.
We were good children. Mom was always telling us we were, even if Daddy couldn"t see it . part of
this was because we didn"t dare to do anything.
Then came the day we found something new and fun to do. We worked at drawing with chalk on our wooden front door and making lots of pretty pictures all over it. We had a great time. We thought Mom
would love it and praise us.
The praise we expected did not come. Instead, Mom was mad. We did not understand why, but we
knew we were in big trouble!
Off we ran to find a place to hid. In our wooded yard it was not hard for two small children to find
safety. Together, we hid behind a tree and did not move. Soon we heard the frightened voices of Mom
and our neighbors calling out to us.
The sun set and it began to get dark. Those around us became more anxious, and we became more
frightened. However, we still didn"t move.
As we clung (紧紧拥抱) together in the dark, we became aware of yet another voice, one we
recognized with great fear: our daddy. But there was something strangely different about it. In it we heard
something we had never heard before: fear, agony (痛苦) and despair. Then came his prayers in tearful
voice. Our daddy was promising God that he would give his life to him if he would safely return his girls.
Nothing in our lives had prepared us for this kind of shock. Neither of us remembers making a
decision to come out. We were drawn to him like a magnet (磁铁), our fears disappearing into the forest. We didn"t know yet if we actually took steps or if God somehow moved us out and into Daddy"s arms.
What we do remember were those strong, loving arms holding us and crying, hugging us like we were
precious.
Things were different after that. We had a new daddy. Our whole family was changed by a piece of
chalk.

USA. He was also a famous speaker. He was famous for his sense

to tell some interesting stories to make people laugh all the time.
One day,Mark Twain was going to a small town because of
his writing. Before he was going to leave, one of his friends said to
him that there were always a lot of mosquitoes in the town and told
him that he"d better not go there. Mark Twain waved his hands and
said, "It doesn"t matter. The mosquitoes are no relatives of mine. I
don"t think they will come to visit me. "
After he arrived at the town,Mark Twain stayed in a small
hotel near the station. He went into his room,but when he was just
about to have a rest, quite a few mosquitoes flew around him. The
waiters felt very sorry about that. "I"m very sorry, Mr Mark Twain.
There are too many mosquitoes in our town," one of them said
to him.
Mark Twain, however, made a joke, saying to the waiter,
"The mosquitoes are very clever. They know my room number.
They didn"t come into the wrong room. " What he said made all the

millionaire. He had visited every country in the world. He had
crossed Antarctica, flown across the Atlantic by balloon, and
climbed Mount Everest. Last year he decided to walk across Death
Valley, the hottest place on Earth. He walked for days over the hot
desert sand. One night he found the camp (宿营地) where he had
been the night before. Cray had walked in a circle. He was lost.
Two days later he had drunk all his water. He couldn"t walk.
He crawled to the top of a sand dune (沙丘) , and there he saw a
man. The man was wearing smart, clean trousers, a white shirt
and a tie. Gray crawled over to him.
" Water...water..." he said.
" I"m terribly sorry , old boy , " replied the man, " but I haven"t
got any water with me. "
" Help me ! " shouted Gray , " I"m a rich man...a millionaire...
I"ll give you anything. "
"That"s very nice of you, old boy," said the man, " Look,I
can"t give you any water, but would you like to buy my tie?"
"A tie? Of course not ! " screamed Gray, and crawled away.
He crawled slowly up the next sand dune. His mouth was full of
sand. His lips were cracked(破裂) and dry. He couldn"t breathe.
He reached the top of the dune and there he saw a huge good
hotel.Girls were swimming in the large swimming pool. Beautiful
fountains were all around the hotel.
"Is it a mirage(幻景) ?" he thought," Am I dying?" He stood
up and staggered(蹒跚) down the dune.
A waiter in a shining white uniform came out of the door.
" Water...water...a bath ! Food ! " screamed Gray.
"I"m sorry, you can"t come into this hotel,"said the waiter.
