by a flower shop in the evening, an idea came to his mind, "I"ll send Mum some roses." While John was
picking his flowers, a young man went inside. "How many roses can I get for only five dollars, madam?" he
asked. The assistant was trying to tell him roses were as expensive as forty dollars a dozen (一打). Maybe
he would be happy with carnations (康乃馨).
"No, I have to have red roses," he said. "My mum was badly ill last year and I didn"t get to spend much
time with her. Now I want to get something special, it has to be roses as rose is her favourite."
After hearing it, John said he would pay the rest of the money for the young man. Moved by both of
them, the assistant said, "Well, lovely young men, thirty dollars a dozen, only for you." Taking the roses, the
young man almost jumped into the air and ran out of the shop. It was well worth twenty－five dollars that
John paid to see the exciting moment. Then John paid for his dozen of roses and told the assistant to send
them to his mother.
As he walked out, he felt nice. Suddenly he saw the young man crossing the street and going into a park.
But soon John realized it was not a park but a cemetery (墓地). Crying, the young man carefully put down
the roses, "Mum, oh, Mum, why didn"t I tell you how much I loved you? God, please help me find my mum
and tell her I love her."
Seeing this, John turned and quickly walked to the shop. He would take the flowers home himself.
B. $25
C. $30
D. $55
B. wasn"t able to tell his mother he loved her himself
C. felt sorry to ask John to pay for his flowers

side, and I on the other side.
We were both in great anger. "Never set foot in this house again!" stormed father. With tears welling up
in my eyes, I rushed out of the flat and ran along the street.
The street lights were shining, causing rather sad-feeling. I wandered aimlessly.
A young father who held a child in his arms walked past me. I felt as if I saw my childhood from another
space: happy and carefree.
But now… I don"t know whether it is because I have grown up or because dad is getting old. We differ
in our ways of thinking. He always put his opinions and codes of behavior on me. Whenever I do something
wrong, he never admits it. We are just like two people coming from two different worlds. It feels like there is
an iron door between us that can never be opened.
I wandered the streets, without a destination in mind. My heart was frozen on this hot summer night. As
I walked on there were fewer and fewer people on the streets, until I had only the street lights to keep me
company. When I finally reached the high-rise apartment block in which I lived,I saw that the light was still on.
I thought to myself:"Is father waiting for me, or is he still angry with me?"
In fact, it was nothing. Perhaps, dad was throwing away some of his old stamps. Perhaps he thought they
were useless. I never had the courage to tell him that I liked collecting stamps. I can"t stand his outrageous (蛮
横的) words:"I can"t throw you away, let alone these old papers?"
All the lights were off except father"s.
Dad was always like this. Maybe he didn"t know how to express himself. After shouting at me, he never
showed any mercy or any moments of regret. After an argument he has the habit of creeping up in my sleep
and then tucking me underneath the covers.
This was how he always was. He has been a leader for so long that telling everyone else what to do has
become his second nature.
The light was still on. "Am I wrong?" I whispered, maybe… With the key in hand, I was as nervous as I
had ever been. At last, I decided to open the door. As soon as I opened the door tears ran down my cheeks.
I suddenly realized that the iron door that I had imagined between us did not exist at all. Love-it second to none.
a. I opened the door and entered the house.
b. Sadly I ran out into the street.
c. I reached the place where I lived and saw my house still brightly lit.
d. I thought of my father"s kindness towards me.
e. I walked about in the street without any aim.
B. b, e, c, d, a
C. b, e, a, c, d
D. b, e, c, a, d
B. The sight of the empty street.
C. The sight of a father with a child in his arms.
D. The sight of light in his own house.
B. perhaps the son has already grown up.
C. perhaps they never agree with each other.
D. perhaps the father has got used to doing that.
B. The father is actually kind to his son.
C. The father is neither kind nor cruel to his son.
D. The father is always finding fault with his son.
of India. One evening, after hunting in the forest all 2 , I was returning alone to the place where I had 3
up my tent. I was tired 4 hungry. It was getting 5 and darker, and I was walking slowly 6 a narrow

| We walked in so quietly that the nurse at the desk didn"t even lift her eyes from the book. Mum pointed at a big chair by the door and I knew she wanted me to sit down. While I watched with mouth open in surprise, Mum took off her hat and coat and gave them to me to hold. She walked quietly to the small room and took out a wet mop (拖把). She pushed the mop past the desk and as the nurse looked up, Mum nodded and said, "Very dirty floors." "Yes, I"m glad they"ve finally decided to clean them," the nurse answered. She looked at Mum strangely and said, "But aren"t you working late?" Mum just pushed harder, each swipe (拖一下) of the mop taking her farther and farther down the hall. I watched until she was out of sight and the nurse had turned back to write in the big book. After a long time Mum came back. Her eyes were shining. She quickly put the mop back and took my hand. As we turned to go out of the door, Mum bowed politely to the nurse and said, "Thank you." Outside, Mum told me:"Linda is fine. No fever." "You saw her, Mum?"

| Last week my youngest son and I visited my father at his new home in Tucson, Arizona. He moved there a few years ago, and I was eager to see his now place and meet his friends. My earliest memories of my father are of a tall, handsome, successful man devoted to his work and family, but uncomfortable with his children. As a child I loved him; as a school girl and young adult (成年人) I feared him and felt bitter about him. He seemed unhappy with me unless I got straight A"s and unhappy with my boyfriends if their fathers were not as "successful" as he was. Whenever I went out with him on weekends, I used to struggle to think up things to say, feeling on guard. On the first day of my visit, we went out with one of my father"s friends for lunch at an outdoor cafe. We walked along that afternoon, did some shopping, ate on the street table, and laughed over my son"s funny facial expressions. Gone was my father"s critical (挑剔的) air and strict rules. Who was this person I knew as my father, who seemed so friendly and interesting to be around? What had held him back before? The next day, my dad pulled out his childhood pictures and told me quite a few stories about his own childhood. Although our times together became easier over the years, I never felt closer to him at that moment . After so many years, I"m at last seeing another side of my father. And in so doing, I"m delighted with my new friend. My dad, in his new home in Arizona, is back to me from where he was. | |||
