  I was in a rush as always, but this time it was for an important date.I just couldn't be late for! I found myself at a checkout counter behind an elderly woman seemingly in no hurry as she paid for her groceries.A PhD student with not a lot of money, I had hurried into the store to pick up some flowers.I was in a huge rush, thinking of my upcoming evening.I did not want to be late for this date.

  We were in Boston, a place not always known for small conversation between strangers.The woman stopped unloading her basket and looked up at me.She smiled.It was a nice smile –warm and reassuring –and I returned her gift by smiling back.

  “Must be a special lady, whoever it is that will be getting those beautiful flowers,” she said.

  “Yes, she's special,” I said, and then to my embarrassment, the words kept coming out.

  “It's only our second date, but somehow I am just having the feeling she's 'the one’.Jokingly, I added, “The only problem is that I can't figure out why she'd want to date a guy like me.”

  “Well, I think she's very lucky to have a boyfriend who brings her such lovely flowers and who is obviously in love with her,” the woman said.” “My husband used to bring me flowers every week-even when times were tough and we didn't have much money.Those were incredible days; he was very romantic and-of course-I miss him since he's passed away.”

  I paid for my flowers as she was gathering up her groceries.There was no doubt in my mind as I walked up to her.I touched her on the shoulder and said, “You were right, you know.These flowers are indeed for a very special lady.” I handed her the flowers and thanked her for such a nice conversation.

  It took her a moment to realize that I was giving her the flowers I had just purchased.“You have a wonderful evening,” I said.I left her with a big smile and my heart warmed as I saw her smelling the beautiful flowers.

  I remember being slightly late for my date that night and telling my girlfriend the above story.A couple of years later, when I finally worked up the courage to ask her to marry me, she told me that this story had helped to seal it for her –that was the night when I won her heart.

A
After my husband died suddenly from a heart attack,my world crashed around me. My six children were all under 10,and I was burdened with the responsibilities of earning a living,and caring for the children. I was fortunate to find a wonderful housekeeper to care for the children during the week,but from Friday nights to Monday mornings,the children and I were alone.
One Friday evening I came home from work to find a big pretty German Shepherd(牧羊犬)on our doorstep. This dog seemed to intend to enter the house. The children liked “German” immediately and begged me to let him in. I agreed to let him sleep in the basement. That night I slept peacefully for the first time in many weeks.
The following morning we made phone calls and checked lost-and-found ads for German’s owner,but with no results.
On Sunday I had planned to take the children on a picnic. Since I thought it best to leave German behind in case his owner came by,we drove off without him. When we stopped to get gas,we were amazed to see German racing to the gas station after us. No way was he going to be left behind.
Monday morning I let him out for a run. He didn’t come back and we were all disappointed. We were convinced that we would never see him again. We were wrong. The next Friday evening,German was back on our doorstep. Again he stayed until Monday morning,when our housekeeper arrived.
This pattern repeated itself every weekend for almost 10 months. We grew more and more fond of German. We took comfort in his strong,warm presence,and we felt safe with him near us. As German became part of the family,he considered it his duty to check every bedroom to be sure each child was cozy in bed.
Each week,between German’s visits,I grew a little stronger,a little braver and more able to handle; every weekend we were no longer alone and enjoyed his company. Then one Monday morning we patted him on the head and let him out for what turned out to be the last time. We never saw German again.
56.The dog first came to the family when _______________.
A.it was needed most
B.the writer became strong enough
C.the writer was away on a business trip
D.the writer was busy on the weekday
57.The family planned to go on a picnic without the German Shepherd because ____.
A.it was too wild to control
B.it was too young to walk so far
C.the owner might come by to pick it up
D.it might spoil the trip
58.The writer was ____________ the German Shepherd.
A.afraid of  B.grateful to     C.cruel to   D.annoyed with
59.Which of the following can’t be used to describe the dog?
A.Loyal    B.Helpful    C.Lovely    D.Wild

Going back to school is a very exciting event for my two boys. It means getting new school bags and books, and seeing friends again after the summer holiday.

My oldest son, 9-year-old Salem, asked me several times where we would go to buy a backpack, while my other son, 6-year-old Abdullah, asked what school would be like this year.

For the last three years, school was a nightmare for many children and their parents as violence increased and there were more attacks on schools and teachers. As a result, many parents prevented their children from going to school. One of six children in this country did not attend primary school in 2009. Many kids who did attend school were accompanied by a parent for the entire day to make sure nothing happened to their children.

For poor families or those with large families, back to school can be an expensive time. The government gives some help to those living in poor neighborhoods, and school bags, note books and other items(商品) are given for free.

Most of the merchants who sell notebooks and pens now sell their products out on the street instead of in stores. They sit on the ground and lay their items on the ground or they have a small table to sell their goods.

The bags cost between $10 and $20, while clothes and shoes cost between $20 and $30. I found all the things I needed for my sons and even bought something for myself. I spent about $50 on each of them, including school uniforms.

At the end of the day, we returned to our home carrying many shopping bags filled with items that made my children happy and excited to go back to school. I just hope this school year will be a peaceful one.

56.The author’s children are ________ to go to school.

A. eager                       B. afraid                              C. unwilling                 D. surprised

57.The underlined word “nightmare” is the closest in meaning to ________.

A. fantasy                     B. dream world                    C. prison                      D. terrible situation

58.Many children are not going to school mainly because of ________.

A. the terrible education system                         B. security problems and poverty

C. parents’ distrust in schools                             D. the government’s inability

59.As a parent, the author ________.

A. is unable to afford his kids’ schooling   B. is unwilling to send his kids to school

C. hopes his kids have a happy school life        D. complains school education costs too much
