  Mrs Black is sixty-nine years old. She has only a daughter named Sandra. Mr Black died twelve years ago. She was very sad and lived in her house alone. Two years later her daughter had a baby. The woman was busy all the time and had no time to look after her son James. She asked her mother to live with them.

  The old woman had to sell her house and moved here. She was strong and could do all the housework. And the family liked her.

  Last autumn Mrs Black went to do some shopping. A car hit her and her leg was hurt. She had to be in hospital for three months. She can't do anything after she came back. At first her daughter was kind to her, but soon she began to be tired of(讨厌) her. The old woman wanted to leave, but she had no money to buy a house and nobody could take care of her. She didn't know what to do.

  One morning Mrs Black broke a plate. It made her daughter angry. She told James to buy a wooden(木制的) plate for his grandma. That afternoon James came back with two wooden plates. She was surprised(惊讶的) and asked, “Why did you buy two plates, son?”

  “One is for grandma,” answered the boy. “The other is for you! You'll also have to use a wooden plate when you're old, I think.”

  The woman heard this and was sad. She cried for long. Now she's kind to her mother as she did before.

When I was a foreign teacher in China,every day I taught English to my students and they taught me about China.One day the topic turned to saying “I love you”.I was shocked to learn that not one of my students had said this to their mothers,nor had their mothers said it to them.“Does your mom love you?” “Of course,”they answered.
“How do you know it?” was my logical question.They responded that their moms cooked and always told them what they were doing wrong to show their caring.I was strummed. So mom's cooking and criticizing read out as “I love you”. “Then how do you say ‘I love you’ to her?” They agreed that getting good grades, followed by good jobs would be how they showed their love.
I come from a culture where most people are expressive enough,so I repeated these queries in classes over time.Gradually,I began to get different responses.Some of them had exchanged those sentiments with their moms.
One of my favorite stories of change came from a girl.When she came home from university,her mother met her at the door and hugged(拥抱)her.This had never happened before,but her mom said,“Now that you have gone I have more time to myself.”I noticed that in some places mothers and children hug each other and I decided it was a good idea and that I would begin hugging you.”
In my family we all say “I love you” a lot.While it is true that we often say the words without having great depth of feelings at that moment,and it is almost like a blessing we give each other. Those three little words carry a world of meaning,even when said as a greeting, but most especially if they are the last words we say to or hear from those we love.
【小题1】The foreign teacher _________.

A.comes from AmericaB.is a young woman
C.is expressive enoughD.knows much about China
【小题2】Chinese students prefer to show love by __________.
A.saying “I love you”B.cooking
C.getting good grades D.doing something helpful
【小题3】In paragraph 4, what's the real meaning of the mom's hugging?
A.She is meeting her daughter at the door.
B.She loves her daughter and misses her.
C.She is glad that she has more time to herself.
D.She finds it interesting to hug her daughter.
【小题4】In paragraph 5, what can we know from the sentence “ In my family we all say ‘I love you’ a lot” ?
A.“I love you.” is a daily greeting.
B.“ Love” is the most important word in our country.
C.They worry about each other.
D.“I love you” are the last words we say or hear from those we love.
【小题5】What's the main idea of the passage?
A.Say “I love you” more to your family.
B.Say “I love you” a lot to Chinese people.
C.Say “I love you” as a greeting to others.
D.Say “I love you” without great depth of feelings.

     Joan worked in a hospital as a nurse. One evening there was a big dance at the hospital. Most of the
doctors and nurses would be there, but of course somebody had to be left to look after the sick children,
and Joan was not of the lucky ones. She liked dancing very much, so when she had to start work that
evening while her friends were getting ready to go to the dance, she felt very sorry for herself.
     She went to each sick child one after another and said good-night, until she came to one little boy, Dick.
He was eleven years old, but he was already able to talk like an adult. Poor Dick had a very serious illness,
and now he was hardly able to move any part of his body except his hands. Joan knew he would never get
any better, but he was always happy and always thinking about other people instead of himself.
     Dick knew that Joan loved dancing. So when she came to say good-night to him, he greeted her with
the words,"I'm very sorry that you have to miss the dance because of us. But we are going to have a party
for you. If you look in my drawer, you find a piece of cake. I saved it from my dinner today, so it is quite
fresh. And there is also a dollar there. You can buy something to drink with that. And I'll get up and dance
with you myself if I was able to," he added.
     Suddenly the hospital dance seemed very far away and not at all important to Joan.
1. Joan felt unlucky that evening mainly because ________.
A. there was a dance ball at the hospital
B. of her unpleasant job
