12．We have aninformal（非正式的） agreement to ride to the park together．

19．It's a Saturday morning，and I am eager to fly away．My husband and I will meet up with our son on the other side of the country to learn and explore together．Sitting now at the airport gate，my husband wanders away to stretch his legs．Moments later，he returns and whispers in my ear．I rise and follow him around the corner toward a large window facing the landing area．
On the road，Marines stand straight and the plane door is open．A white hearse （灵车） is parked nearby．A man and a soldier stand on either side of a woman，supporting her and waiting for what is to come．Airport personnel stand in reverent stillness．A few people place their hands over their hearts，as I have done．We're joined in witness，sending respect to an honorable soldier whose name we'll never know．
The woman looks heartbroken．She cries，knowing she will never hear"Mom"from her son．She'll never feel his tender embrace or enjoy his sweet peck on her cheeks．Another man's face is twisted because of the grief．His son，the tiny boy he no doubt wrestled playfully，the teen he probably taught to drive，and the son he stood so proudly by，now lives only in his memory．
Those behind the glass stay silent，reflecting on this loss，as the family and soldiers leave．Some of us women，with sorrowful expressions，move slowly away，sharing a mother's profound grief．Soon，each of us will fly off in planes and return to an ordinary life made extraordinary by this soldier's courage，by this family's sacrifice and by this love shared by all that look out of the window．

9．If you have something to say about someone，say it today!It may make a world of difference．Last week at the Night of Hope in downtown Los Angeles，Victoria Osteen，one of my best friends，shared a story about a very special birthday present from a dear friend．It wasn't expensive jewelry or a designer handbag．It was an attractive box．And though it was lovely，the box wasn't the real gift．
When the friend presented it to Victoria，he said some wonderful things about the birthday girl．Then，he acted as if he were putting those compliments into the box and began passing it around to everyone else at the table．One by one，Victoria's family and friends also said loving things about her，and one by one they"places"their kind words into the birthday box．Victoria shared how much that night had meant to her，and that day she put that beautiful box in a striking place in her bedroom as a reminder of the sweet words that were put in the box and in her heart．
I related this story because I also have what I call"an encouragement drawer"．As a writer，I hope to sell articles and present my picture books to the right editor，but I sometimes get rejection letters from editors and publishers．Thankfully there have been acceptance letters，contracts and awards along the way，too．But do you know what means even more？The thank-you cards and sweet notes that I've received from other writers I've met at the many writers'conferences made me serve as a lecturer．
I remember looking forward to one particular conference more than 15years age．I knew the cost of attending it really wasn't in our budget，but I also knew that if I asked my husband to give me the conference ticket as my birthday present，he would．And that's exactly what he did．We were living in Texas，and the writers'conference was several thousand miles away．I had researched the editors who were going to appear there and the works to be offered，and I was sure the conference would be life-changing for me．
It was just not in the way I'd expected．
During the very first day of the"Writing for Children"conference，I sat in the front row．I was so excited that I hardly slept the night before．I couldn't wait to learn from a fruitful children's book writer．She greeted us with"Well，I wish I had better news．The children's market is almost impossible to break into right now．I mean，I am well-published in it but I'm having a tough time making a sale．"
I couldn't believe what I was hearing!Some people got up and left．I stayed until the end，hoping her mood would improve and offer some words of wisdom．But neither happened．I walked back to my house that afternoon defeated，discouraged and downright mad．Later that night，I said to myself，"I should encourage others to write for children．"That's why when I received emails，thank-you notes and cards saying"Thank you for helping me see that I can really make it a freelancer（自由作家），""Thank you for encouraging me to write that devotional proposal---I got a contract"，or"Thank you for being so excited about my manuscript（手稿） about children．I was about to give up before meeting with you"，I would put them in my"encouragement drawer"．
And，on those days when I received three rejection letters or a bad review of a recent book，I would walk into my office，open one of those encouragement drawers and read a few cards．Like Victoria，I immediately felt uplifted after spending a few moments reading the nice things that people had written to me．
Maybe you don't have a birthday box filled with wonderful compliments or an encouragement drawer filled with thank-you cards and notes，but you can spend some time on the good things and write a few thank-you notes of your own．

B．The conference was somewhat life-changing for the author．

D．The conference didn't live up to her expectations．
66．Which is the best title for the passage？A
