community in New Mexico where she knows 6 . She is leaving Oakland 7 she has lived nearly 30
years and her circle of friends. This is in itself is 8 .
One of our group, Edythe, has 9 how she was fond of the beauty of coins, not for their monetary

This morning, as Taya was 11 , she quietly set a small cloth 12 in front of Edythe and after giving
hugs all 13 , she left. Someone at the table asked, "What"s in the bag ?" Edythe 14 it and pulled out
a little packet. She found six beautiful silver 15 in it. Wow! That was a surprise. She pulled out 16
little packet and unwrapped it. More silver coins! This time U.S. silver dollars. These were collectible
and worth 17 more than the face value, Edythe didn"t open everything, but I 18 guessed the contents of the bag were 19 several hundred dollars.

my mother said that we might soon be leaving for America. We were on the bus then. I was crying, and
some people on the bus were turning around to look at me. I remember that I could not bear the thought
of never hearing again the radio program for school children to which I listened every morning.
I do not remember myself crying for this reason again. In fact, I think I cried very little when I was
saying goodbye to my friends and relatives. When we were leaving I thought about all the places I was
going to see-the strange and magical places I had known only from books and pictures. The country I
was leaving never to come back was hardly in my head then.
The four years that followed taught me the importance of optimism (乐观主义), but the idea did not
come to me at once. For the first two years in New York I was really lost-having to study in three
schools as a result of family moves. I did not quite know what I was or what I should be. Mother
remarried, and things became even more complex for me. Some time passed before my stepfather and I
got used to each other. I was often sad, and saw no end to "the hard times."
My responsibilities in the family increased a lot since I knew English better than everyone else at home. I wrote letters, filled out forms, translated at interviews with immigration officers, took my grandparents to
the doctor and translated there, and even discussed telephone bills with company representatives.
From my experiences I have learned one important rule: Almost all common troubles eventually go
away! Something good is certain to happen in the end when you do not give up, and just wait a little! I
believe that my life will turn out all right, even though it will not be that easy.
B. From her mother.
C. From books and pictures.
D. From radio programs.
B. did not think about her future
C. studied in three different schools
D. got on well with her stepfather
B. She attended a lot of job interviews.
C. She paid telephone bills for her family.
D. Her good command of English helped her family.
B. it is difficult to learn to become patient
C. there are more good things than bad things
D. good things will happen if one keeps trying
had recently moved into a nursing home and didn"t have room for 1 things. She insisted that she didn"t
need a thing.
2 , I came up with an idea. In her 3 card, I sent her a gift certificate (礼券) for "A letter a 4 for
the next year!" It was a big 5 . I knew that she"d love to 6 what was going on in my life.
The letter gift certificate was a big 7 . She got fifty-two letters that first year. Some were 8 and
filled with homesickness. Others were short and newsy. More than once what she 9 was just a funny
card with a few short 10 . All showed her that I was thinking of her regularly.
11 her next birthday came around, she asked for another letter gift certificate. 12 , that"s also
what she wanted next eight birthdays.
For nine years I wrote her. She was rarely able to 13 back. I flew home annually to 14 and soon
realized that the entire nursing home staff knew all the details of my 15 , as more and more often they
were 16 the letters to her.
My 17 letter arrived the day after her death. I felt I had given her the best gift I could. What I hadn"t counted on (指望) was how her gift would come full circle to me.
Months later, while 18 her things, my dad found a box full of letters from me. Those letters were
filled with moments and pictures I had completely forgotten. She 19 those memories for me in my letters. Sometimes our gifts to others come back to us in 20 ways.

you would rather not have anyone else know about. For example, if in the past, someone in Dad"s family
had been arrested for stealing a horse, it would be "a skeleton in his family"s closet". He really wouldn"t
want any neighbor to know about it. "
"Why pick on my family?" Jessica"s father said with anger. "Your family history isn"t so good, you
know. Wasn"t 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 in before things grew worse.
After dinner, the house was very quiet. Jessica"s parents were still angry each other. Her mother was
ironing clothes and every now and then she glared at her husband, who hid behind newspaper pretending
to read. When she finished, she gathered the freshly pressed clothes in her arms and walked to Jessica"s
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. Jessica"s mother sank into a faint (晕倒), waking
only when Jessica"s 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 school"s 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. "They"re both crazy," she thought.
B. a family secret
C. a family story
D. a family treasure
B. They were the earliest people living in Australia.
C. They were involved in some crimes in Australia.

C. injured
D. surprised

shoes, relaxed and then said goodnight to the rest of the girls and headed out of the door.
It was so cold and I could see the ice crystals in the air. As I approached my car, I saw one of my
coworkers standing by the bus stop. I thought it would only take a couple of extra minutes to give her a
ride home, and besides, it was too cold to be standing outside on the coldest night in January.
We chatted as I drove and before we knew it, we arrived at her house. As she headed up the steps
to her door she turned around. "Do you know how to get to your house from here?" "How hard can it
be? I"ll just backtrack the way I came."
I started driving. Nothing looked familiar, but at first that didn"t bother me since I"d never been to this
neighborhood before. I kept driving, and soon I sensed that something was wrong. I recognized nothing,
not the neighborhoods, not even the street names. My husband would be worried about me. I looked
down at my watch. It was now 2:30. I"d left work at 11:30 pm.
I stopped my car. I thought I"d better take stock of my situation. My gas gauge (汽油量表) was
slowly going down. In total defeat I put my head down on the steering wheel and asked for help. I lifted
my head. I saw a shadow down the road in front of me. It was a car. What was a car doing in the middle
of nowhere at 2:30 in the morning?
Hesitantly, I got out of my car and knocked on the window of the other car. An elderly man slowly
rolled his window down.
I said, "I"m lost and don"t know how to get back into town."
In silence, he started driving. I drove behind him.
Finally I recognized a familiar street. As I turned to head home, I lost sight of my guiding angel. When
I pulled into my driveway the warning light for my gas tank turned on.
B. used to go home by bus
C. worked in a woman"s hospital

we had a 1 over our heads, food on the table, clothes on our backs, and if not a lot, always 2 . Not
knowing we were poor, my kids (孩子们) just thought I was 3 I"ve always been glad about that.
It was Christmas time, and although there wasn"t 4 for a lot of gifts, we planned to celebrate with a
family party. But the big 5 for the kids was the fun of Christmas 6 .
They planned weeks ahead of time, asking 7 what they wanted for Christmas. Fortunately. I had
saved $120 for 8 to share by all five of us.
The big 9 arrived. I gave each kid a twenty-dollar bill and 10 them to look for gifts of about four
dollars each. Then everyone scattered (散开). We had two hours to shop; then we would 11 back at
the "Santa"s Workshop".
Driving home, everyone was in high Christmas spirits, 12 my younger daughter, Ginger. Who was
unusually 13 . She had only one small, flat bag with a few candies - fifty-cent candies! I was so angry, but
I didn"t say anything 14 we got home. I called her into my bedroom and closed the door, 15 to be
angry again. This is what she told me:
"I was looking 16 thinking of what to buy, and I 17 to read the little cards on the "Giving Trees."
One was for a little girl, four years old, and all she 18 for Christmas was a doll (玩具娃娃). So I took
the card off the tree and 19 the doll for her. We have so much and she doesn"t have anything."
