On this fine winter day，when much of the country is freezing，I know I shouldn't complain．I live in the Mojave Desert on a hill overlooking Las Vegas，so I can sit outside，feel the sun on my face and not feel cold．But I'm just going to say it：I am tired of winter．Around this time of year，I always look forward to spring．
I blame my grandmother．Growing up，I spent most spring breaks with her on her farm in the Blue Ridge Mountains．Once，when I was 8or so，I said："Why do they call it spring break？It still feels like winter．"
She studied me for a minute，and then said："Spring is where you find it．Let's go take a look．"Then we each took a walking stick and with that we were off．
You could not outwalk my grandmother．The woman was never tired．We followed a dusty trail，zigzagging （曲折前进） up the mountain from the farm to the top of a hill．Finally，she stopped．"There，"she said．"There's your spring．"She pointed to a tree covered in pink blooms that looked like little puffs （蓬松的一团） of cotton candy on sticks．
I wish you could've seen it．
"It's a dogwood （山茱萸），"she said．"It blooms every year whether we're around to see it or not．It's a promise．You can count on it．"
That tree became a ritual （例行习惯），a promise I counted on．Every spring we went looking for it and every time we found it in all its glory．When I grew up and moved away，I carried the memory of that tree and its promise with me from the mountains of North Carolina，to the coast of California，to a hill overlooking Las Vegas．
My grandmother has been gone for years．Her farm was sold and the hill above it became a subdivision （供出卖的小块土地）．I don't know if the dogwood survived．But it still blooms，without fail，in my memory．
Sometimes，in the dead of winter，it helps to remember the promise I learned as a child．
Life persists in spite of us．The Earth is reborn every spring，every day，and every moment．When we least expect it，trees bloom on mountains in our memories．It's a promise．

A．suggested that she enjoy the beauty of winter
B．took her to climb the hill to get warmer
C．showed her that spring actually had come already
D．convinced her that spring would come soon
58．The main purpose of the article is toD．

B．explain why dogwoods have a special meaning for the author
C．share the author's memories of her happy childhood with her grandmother

7．Fans of reptiles like snakes will want to pay more attention to a special vehicle that has recently hit the streets：the Super Green Turtle Machine．
Just like Batman has his Batmobile，Jesse Rothacker and Forgotten Friend Reptile Sanctuary （FFRS） can now be found touring Lancaster County in the Super Green Turtle Machine，a van with an important mission．Rothacker had co-written a song called"Super Green Turtle Machine"with musician Steven Courtney．The song became the inspiration for the van．
FFRS is celebrating its 12^th year rescuing and advocating for reptiles and creatures of all shapes and sizes．The Super Green Turtle Machine will be rolling out to upcoming Forgotten Friend programs and frequent reptile rescue calls．"We have more than 60educational events already scheduled for 2016，"Rothacker mentioned．The programs will educate audiences of all ages about reptiles and other amazing animals that are often given a bad reputation．
"The idea behind the Turtle Machine is to take a marginalized animal group like reptiles and give them some positive publicity on social media，"Rothacker explained．When reptile fans see the van parked with its colorful turtle mascot （吉祥物） giving a thumb-up，they are invited to take a photo with the vehicle with their own thumbs up sign．"Lots of people will have an opportunity to tell their friends on Facebook and Twitter that they give reptiles a thumb-up，"Rothacher said．"Then they can post their pictures to social media with the tag Give Reptiles A Chance．"To sweeten the deal，FFRS will choose several winners from those who post photos for special prizes such as T-shirts，books，and other reptile-related items．
In addition to the positive publicity，the Super Green Turtle Machine will serve a more practical purpose，as well．Rothacker and his team hope to make a few more changes to the van in the future．"The main work is done，but we'd love to finish her up，"Rothacker shared．"We have plans to add flashing caution lights for when we stop to help snakes and turtles cross the road．"Further enhancements to the Turtle Machine include adding extra tools to help with reptile rescue pickups and live educational events．
As FFRS is a non-profit，donations toward the Super Green Turtle Machine are tax deductible．Interested individuals may contribute at www．forgottenfriend．org．
