For some time I’ve had a church member provide me with a rose to pin on the lapel of my suit every Sunday.  【小题1】  I always got a flower on Sunday morning, I really did not think much of it. It was a nice gesture that became routine. One Sunday,   【小题2】 , what I considered ordinary became very  【小题3】 .
As I was leaving the Sunday  【小题4】 , a young boy approached and said,” Sir, what are you going to do with your flower?” At first I was confused, but then I understood. “Do you   【小题5】 this?” I said as I  【小题6】 to the rose pinned to my coat.

She has been so  【小题10】 to me that I want to give that pretty flower to her for  【小题11】 me.” When the little boy finished I could hardly   【小题12】 . My eyes were filled with tears and I knew I had been touched in the   【小题13】 of my soul. I reached up and unpinned my flower. With the flower in my hand, I looked at the boy and said, “Son, that is the nicest thing I have  【小题14】 heard, but you can’t have this flower because it’s not  【小题15】 . If you’ll look in front of the pulpit(布道讲坛), you’ll see a big bouquet of flowers. Different families buy them for the  【小题16】 each week. Please take those flowers to your granny because she  【小题17】 the very best.”

I had just gone to bed after a very hard day when the phone rang. It was a strange farmer. I had never met him before although I had often heard people talk about him. He sounded quite nervous and he had been talking for a minute or so before I understood anything. Even then all I could make out was that someone called Milly had had a very bad accident. I really didn’t know who she was but I had to go.
It had been snowing heavily that day and I didn’t know the way. I had been driving for at least an hour when I finally found his place. He was standing there, waiting for me. It seemed that Milly had died. “She meant more to me than anyone even my own wife!” he said. I could see that he had been crying. I thought something terrible had taken place, a possible scandal(丑闻). I was even more surprised when he told me he had put her in the barn(厩). “I couldn’t leave her in the cold!” he said. Milly had clearly been a secret lover of his. I was about to tell him he could not expect me to cover anything up when he opened the barn door. He lifted his candle and I saw a dark figure on the ground.
“She was such a good cow! I wouldn’t let anyone except a doctor touch her!” he said and cried again.
60. The farmer wished that the writer might         .
A. look into the matter             B. bring Milly back to life
C. free him from a scandal          D. keep the whole thing a secret
61. The underlined phrase in the first paragraph means “       ”.
A. expect                               B. understand
C. see clearly                            D. hear clearly
62. Before he arrived at the farmer’s house, the writer expected to see Milly lying         .
A. on the ground of a barn          B. on the floor of a room
C. in bed in a room                D. in bed in a barn
63. What do we know about Milly for the story?
A. She had met with an accident.         B. She had caused a scandal.
C. She was seriously ill.            D. She was hidden somewhere.
64. The person who told the story is probably a        .
A. farmer                        B. policeman

Some years ago, writing in my diary used to be a usual activity.I would return from school and spend the expected half hour recording the day's events, feelings, and impressions in my little blue diary.I did not really need to express my emotions by way of words, but I gained a certain satisfaction from seeing my experiences forever recorded on paper.After all, isn't accumulating memories a way of preserving the past?

When I was thirteen years old, I went on a long journey on foot in a great valley, wellequipped with pens, a diary, and a camera.During the trip, I was busy recording every incident, name and place I came across.I felt proud to be spending my time productively, dutifully preserving for future generations a detailed description of my travels.On my last night there, I wandered out of my tent, diary in hand.The sky was clear and lit by the glare of the moon, and the walls of the valley looked threatening behind their screen of shadows.I automatically took out my pen...

At that point, I understood that nothing I wrote could ever match or replace the few seconds I allowed myself to experience the dramatic beauty of the valley.All I remembered of the previous few days were the dull characterizations I had set down in my diary.

Now, I only write in my diary when I need to write down a special thought or feeling.I still love to record ideas and quotations that strike me in books, or observations that are particularly meaningful.I take pictures, but not very often—only of objects I find really beautiful.I'm no longer blindly satisfied with having something to remember when I grow old.I realize that life will simply pass me by if I stay behind the camera, busy preserving the present so as to live it in the future.

I don't want to wake up one day and have nothing but a pile of pictures and notes.Maybe I won't have as many exact representations of people and places; maybe I'll forget certain facts, but at least the experiences will always remain inside me.I don't live to make memories—I just live, and the memories form themselves.

1.Before the age of thirteen, the author regarded keeping a diary as a way of________.

Aobserving her school routine

Bexpressing her satisfaction

Cimpressing her classmates

Dpreserving her history

2.What caused a change in the author's understanding of keeping a diary?

AA dull night on the journey.

BThe beauty of the great valley.

CA striking quotation from a book.

DHer concerns for future generations.

3.What does the author put in her diary now?

ANotes and beautiful pictures.

BSpecial thoughts and feelings.

CDetailed accounts of daily activities.

DDescriptions of unforgettable events.

4.The author comes to realize that to live a meaningful life is________.

Ato experience it

Bto live the present in the future

Cto make memories

Dto give accurate representations of it

When you take a taxi in the United States, if you sit in the front seat, the driver will be pleased and talk with you all the way. If you sit in the back seat, however, the driver may be unhappy and unwilling to speak.

At first, I thought that this had something to do with different characters (性格) of the drivers. Later, after I’d had more experiences with taxis, I found that it happened very often. Only when I arrived in San Francisco did I ____________.

I went to see Sonia in San Francisco. One day, Sonia drove the car while her husband, Ji An, sat beside her, and I sat behind Ji An. Later, Ji An got out of the car and suggested that I sit where he had been sitting. It’s not a long way, so I told him that it didn’t matter, but Ji An insisted. I had to move, feeling a little strange.

“Do you know why Ji An asked you to sit here?” Sonia asked me. I shook my head. “If you sit in the front, it means that you and I are friends. If you sit in the back, it seems that I’m just your driver and our relationship is of employer and employee.”

With those words, I understood at once why taxi drivers were so pleased when people sat in the front. On the face of it, the only issue was where one sat. As a matter of fact, where to sit also reflected (反映) the degree of one’s respect for the driver.

Although it is true that the relationship between driver and passenger is a business relationship, people still place an emphasis (强调) on respect and friendship beyond any monetary (金钱的) relationship.
