Dear son,

The day that you see me old and I am already not in good health, have patience and try to understand me.

If I get dirty when eating, if I can not dress, have patience and remember the hours I   26   teaching it to you. If, when I speak to you, I   27  the same things thousand and one times, do not   28   me, listen to me. When you were small, I had to read to you thousand and one times the same story   29   you got to sleep. When I do not want to have a   30  , neither shame me nor scold me. Remember when I had to chase you with thousand excuses I   31  , in order that you wanted to bathe. When you see my   32   little about new technologies, give me the necessary time and do not look at me with your mocking(嘲弄) smile. I taught you   33   to do so many things: to eat good, to dress well, to confront life…. When at some moment I lose the memory or the   34  of our conversation, let me have the necessary time to remember, and if I cannot do it, do not become nervous, as the most important thing is not our conversation but surely to be with you and to have you   35   to me.

If ever I do not want to eat, do not force me. I know well   36   I need to and when not. When my   37   legs do not allow me to walk, give me your   38  , the same way I did when you gave your first   39  . And when someday I say to you that I do not want to   40  any more ---- that I want to rest forever, do not get ___41__. Someday you will understand.

Try to understand that my age is not lived but survived. Some day you will discover that, despite my mistakes, I always wanted the   42   thing for you and that I tried to prepare the way for you. You must not feel sad, angry or impotent(无可奈何) for seeing me   43   you. You must be next to me, try to understand me and to help me as I did it when you   44   living. Help me to walk, help me to end my way with love and  45  . I will pay you by a smile and by the immense love I have had always for you.

I love you, Son

Your father

I’ve loved my mother’s desk since I was just tall enough to see above the top of it as mother sat doing letters. Standing by her chair, looking at the ink bottle, pens,   and white paper, I decided that the act of writing must be the more wonderful thing in the world.

Years later, during her final illness, mother kept different things for my sister  and brother. “But the desk,” she’d said again, “it’s for Elizabeth. ”

I never saw her angry, never saw her cry. I knew she loved me; she showed it in action. But as a young girl, I wanted heart-to-heart talks between mother and    daughter.

They never happened. And a gulf opened between us. I was “too emotional(易动感情的)”. But she lived “on the surface(表面)”.

As years passed I had my own family. I loved my mother and thanked her for our happy family. I wrote to her in careful words and asked her to let me know in any way she chose that she did forgive(原谅) me.

I posted the letter and waited for her answer. None came.

My hope turned to disappointment(失望), then little interest and, finally, peace— it seemed that nothing happened. I couldn’t be sure that the letter had even got to mother. I only knew that I had written it, and I could stop trying to make her into someone she was not.

Now the present of her desk told, as she’d never been able to, that she was    pleased that writing was my chosen work. I cleaned the desk carefully and found    some papers inside —a photo of my father and a one-page letter, folded(折叠) and refolded many times.

Give me an answer, my letter asks, in any way you choose. Mother, you always chose the act that speaks louder than words.

1.The writer began to love her mother’s desk ______.

A.after Mother died

B.before she became a writer

C.when she was a child

A.mother was cold on the surface but kind in her heart to her daughter

B.mother was too serious about everything her daughter had done

C.mother cared much about her daughter in words

D.mother wrote to her daughter in careful words

3.The word “gulf” in the passage means ______.

A.deep understanding between the old and the young

B.different ideas between the mother and the daughter

C.free talks between mother and daughter

D.part of the sea going far in land

4.What did mother do with her daughter’s letter asking forgiveness?

A.She had never received the letter.

B.For years, she often talked about the letter.

C.She didn’t forgive her daughter at all in all her life.

D.She read the letter again and again till she died.

5.What’s the best title of the passage?

A.My letter to Mother

B.Mother and Children

C.My mother’s Desk

D.Talks between Mother and Me

6.选A。由But she lived “on the surface ”. 和全文内容可知,作者的母亲表面上很冷漠,但心里充满了对作者的爱,正确

A car drew up outside the Swan Hotel and a young man got out.Pausing only for a moment to see that he had come to the right place,he went into the hotel and rang the bell on the counter of the bar.

Mrs.Crump,the landlady,who was busy in the kitchen at the time,hurried out,wiping her hands.The young man raised his hat.

“Excuse me,”he said.“I’m looking for my uncle,Mr.White.I believe he is staying here.”

“He was staying here.”Mrs.Crump corrected him.“But I’m afraid that he went back to London yesterday.”

“Oh,dear,”said the young man,looking disappointed.“I understood that he was going to stay here until the end of the month.At least that is what his servant told me when I rang up his house.”

“Quite right,”said Mrs,Cramp.“He planned to stay here the whole of July,as he always does. But yesterday he got a telegram to say that his relative was ill.So he caught the train back to London immediately.”

“I wish he had let me know, ”The young man said.“I wrote him a letter saying that I was coming.I’ve had all this trouble for nothing.Well,since he isn’t here,there’s no point in waiting.”

He thanked Mrs.Grump and went out.Mrs.Grump went to the window and watched him drive off.When his car was out of sight,she called out:“You can come out now, Mr.White. He’s gone.”

Mr.White came out of the kitchen,where he had been waiting.

“Many thanks,Mrs.Grump,”he said,laughing,“you did that very well.These nephews of mine never gave me any peace.That young man is the worst of them all.As you see,when he needs money, he even follows me into the country.Well,perhaps next time he won’t warn me by writing a letter!”

The repairman told me, “No charge, Professor Pan! We’re friends.” “I’d rather pay,” I replied. “If it’s free, I can’t afford it!”

Chinese often refuse payment for professional services, insisting, “We’re friends now!” But then they show up later to ask me to tutor them in English, or get them into an American university, and I wish I’d have just paid the 30 yuan I owed them in the first place!

According to the Americans “There’s no free lunch.” meaning, there’s a price for everything, and I’m always looking around to figure out what this means.

Many of our neighbors have given us fruit or flowers or costly teas, never asking anything in return. For years, a bicycle repairman has repeatedly refused to let me pay him. “Wait until you have something major to fix!” he insists.

I mentioned to a peasant friend that I wished I had a stone mill to grind (磨) flour for bread. A month later he showed up with a beautiful mill that he’d had his uncle in the countryside carve from a solid block of granting (花岗石).

Chinese generosity is a real education for Americans like me, who would rather avoid social entanglements (纠纷) and just hand over the money. But cash can’t compensate (补偿) for the greatest gift—friendship.

When an American saw some of my friends sitting on bamboo stools under the trees, sipping tea, he said, “They must have nothing better to do.” “Actually,” I said, “they are professors, with plenty of to do. But probably you’re right in saying that, at this moment, they have nothing better to do. And neither do I”

And I joined the group. We chatted about tea and Chinese cooking and how much my boys have grown since we arrived. One man said, “They were pocket-sized when you came here. Now they’re taller than you. How time flies!”

How time flies. And Chinese are smart enough to share what they know, which they cannot keep. They freely give off their time, never too busy to help a friend. And they are teaching me, slowly, to both give and receive.

So the next time someone says, “No charge. We’re friends!” I will thank them heartily. But if they show up later asking me to tutor them in English, I’ll make sure they tutor my son in Chinese as well, because there’s still no free lunch.

A. Because he was an upright (正直的) man.

B. Because he didn’t know the repairman.

C. Because he thought it natural to pay for others’ service.

B. Chinese are good at exchange of equal values

C. Chinese are free enough to drink tea and chat with their friends
