of fun keeping them. Here’s a story about it.
     The children begged for a hamster (仓鼠), and after a long time and promises that they alone would
care for it, they got one. Of course, they loved this special friend. They named it Danny, made “a house”
for it, and played happily with it. Two months later, when Mom found herself doing the cleaning and
feeding the hamster, she decided to send it away and found a future new home for it. The children took
the news of Danny’s immediate departure quite well, though one of them said, “He’s been around here
a long time. We’ll miss him.”
     “Yes,” Mom replied. “But he’s too much work for one person, and since I’m that person, I say he
goes.”
     Another child offered, “Well, maybe if he wouldn’t eat so much and wouldn’t make things in bad
order, we would keep him.”
     But Mom didn’t change her mind. “It’s time to take Danny to his new home now,” she insisted. “Go
and get his cage(笼子).”

     There was a gardener who looked after his garden with great care. To water his flowers, he used two
buckets. One was a shiny and new bucket. The other was a very old and dilapidated one, which had
seen many years of service, but was now past its best.
     Every morning, the gardener would fill up the two buckets. Then he would carry them along the path,
one on each side, to the flowerbeds. The new bucket was very proud of itself. It could carry a full
bucket of water without a single drop spilled (溢出). The old bucket felt very ashamed because of its
holes: before it reached the flowerbeds, much water had leaked along the path.
     Sometimes the new bucket would say, "See how capable I am! How good it is that the gardener has
me to water the flowers every day! I don't know why he still bothers with you. What a waste of space
you are!"
     And all that the old bucket could say was, "I know I'm not very useful, but I can only do my best. I'm
happy that the gardener still finds a little bit of use in me, at least."
     One day, the gardener heard that kind of conversation. After watering the flowers as usual, he said,
"You both have done your work very well. Now I am going to carry you back. I want you to look
carefully along the path."
     Then the two buckets did so. All along the path, they noticed, on the side where the new bucket was
carried, there was just bare (光秃秃的) earth; on the other side where the old bucket was carried, there was a joyous row of wild flowers, leading all the way to the garden.
1. What does the underlined word "dilapidated" probably mean?
A. Dirty        
B. Dark        
C. Worn-out        
D. Plain-looking.
2. What was the old bucket ashamed of?
A. His past.      
B. His aging.    
C. His manner.      
D. His leaking.
3. Why was the old bucket still kept by the gardener?
A. Because it was used to keep a balance  
B. Because it stayed in its best condition
C. Because it was taken as a treasure      
D. Because it had its own function

                                                               A Tight Situation
     Sometimes funny memories are the most special way to remember a beloved lover. It helps take away some of the feeling of loss. Before he passed away, my husband loved to share this story with our friends. Now, it makes a smile to share this story with you.
     Our neighbor's son was getting married at a church, and we were invited. We immediately rushed out
to the store, and I bought a nice pink dress with a jacket. The dress was a little tight, but I had a month
before the June 30 wedding and I would lose a few pounds.
June 29 came and, of course, I had not lost a single pound; in fact, I had gained two. But, I thought a new girdle (收腹健美裤) would solve my problem. So on the way to the wedding, we stopped once again at
the store. I ran in and told the clerk I needed a size large girdle.
     The clerk found the box with the described girdle, marked "L", and asked if I would like to try it on.
"Oh, no, large will fit just right. I won't need to try it on."
      The next morning was hot, so I waited to get dressed until about forty-five minutes before time to go.
I opened the girdle box only to find a new $49.95 girdle in a size small. Since it was too late to find
another one and the dress wouldn't fit right without a girdle, a fight broke out between me and the girdle.
Have you ever tried to shake twenty pounds of potatoes into a five-pound bag? Finally, my husband,
laughing like crazy, got hold of each side and shook me down into it, and I was ready to go.
     As we walked into the church, he asked if I could make it. Now, he was getting worried because I
was breathing funny. I told him that it would last one hour, twenty-two minutes and eight-and-one-half
seconds-the minister blessed everything except my girdle!
My knees were blue and my legs lost all the feeling. My husband was asking questions and trying to
comfort me.
     As soon as the minister pronounced them married, I rushed out with my husband. "Please, just get me
out of here!" I said.
     We ran out to our car, and once there he opened the front and back passenger doors against the next
car. Right there, before God, human and the wedding party, I took off that girdle. When the girdle flew
out of my hand and landed under the car next to ours, my husband was laughing so hard and we drove
away.
Over the years, he and I had often wondered what the people of that church thought the next morning
when they found $49.95, size small girdle in their parking lot.

     As a boy, there was nothing I liked better than Sunday afternoons at my grandfather's farm in western
Pennsylvania. Surrounded by miles of winding stone walls, the house and field provided endless hours of
fun for a city kid like me. I was used to tidy living rooms that seemed to whisper, "Not to be touched!"
     I can still remember one afternoon when I was eight years old. Since my first visit to the farm, I had
wanted more than anything to be allowed to climb the stone walls surrounding the houses. My parents
would never  approve. The walls were old; some stones were missing, others loose and falling. Still, I
entered the living room, where the adults had gathered after Sunday dinner.
     "I, uh-I wanna climb the stone walls," I said. Everyone looked up. "Can I climb the stone walls?  
Immediately voices of disagreement went up from the women in the room." Heavens, no! You'll hurt
yourself!" I wasn't too surprised; the response was just as I'd expected. But before I could leave the
room, I was stopped by my grandfather's loud voice. "Now hold on just a minute," I heard him say, "Let
the boy climb the stone walls. He has to learn to do things for himself.""Go", he said to me, "come and
see me when you get back." For the next two and a half hours I climbed those old walls  and had the time of my life. Later I met with my grandfather to tell him about my adventures. I'll never forget what he said. "Fred", he said, smiling, "You made this day a special day just by being yourself. Always remember,
here's only one person in this whole world like you, and I like you exactly as you are."
     Many years have passed since then, and today I host the television program Mister Rogers
Neighborhood, seen by millions of children throughout America. There have been changes over the years, but one thing remains the same: my message to children at the end of almost every visit. "There's only one
person in this whole world like you," the kids can count on hearing me say, "and people can like you
exactly as you are."

     She had been shopping with her Mom in Wal-Mart. She must have been 6 years old, this beautiful brown
haired, freckle-faced image of innocence. Outside, it was pouring so heavily.
     We all stood there just inside the door of the Wal-Mart. We waited, some patiently, others annoyed because
nature messed up their hurried day. I got lost in the sound and sight of the heavens washing away the dirt and
dust of the world.
     Her voice was so sweet as it broke the hypnotic trance (昏昏欲睡) we were all caught in. "Mom, let's run
through the rain," she said.
     "No, honey. We'll wait until it slows down a bit," Morn replied.
     This young child waited about another minute and repeated:"Mom, let's run through the rain."
     "We'll get soaked if we do," Mom said.
     "No, we won't, Morn. That's not what you said this morning," the young girl said as she tore at her Mom's
arm,
     "This morning? When did I say we could run through the rain and not get wet?"
     "Don't you remember? When you were talking to Daddy about his cancer, you said, 'If God can get us
through this, he can get us through anything!'"
     The entire crowd stopped dead silent. I dare say you couldn't hear anything but the rain. We all stood silently.
No one came or left in the next few minutes. Mom paused and thought for a moment about what she would say.
     Now some would laugh it off and scold her for being silly. Some might even ignore what was said. But this
was a moment of affirmation in a young child's lifetime when innocent trust can be developed so that it will
bloom into faith,"Honey, you are absolutely right. Let's run through the rain. If get wet, well maybe we just
need washing," Mom said. Then off they ran.
     We all stood watching, smiling and laughing as they rushed past the cars and they held their shopping bags
over their heads just in case. They got soaked. But they were followed by a few who screamed and laughed
like children all the way to their cars. And yes, I did. I ran. I got wet. I needed washing.
     You may lose your material possessions, your money and even your health, but no one can ever take away
your precious memories. So don't forget to make time and take the opportunities to make memories.
1. Which of the following is the closest in meaning to the underlined word "affirmation"?

B. Parents should act more bravely than their children.
