I am Sergey Brin! I was born in Moscow. In 1979, when I was 5, my family immigrated to the United States. I remember that on my 9th birthday I got my first computer “Commodore 64”.
Later I graduated with honors in the University of Maryland in Mathematics and IT. The main field of my science research was the technologies used to collect data from unsystematic sources as well as large quantities of texts and science data. I was the author of dozens of articles in leading American academic magazines.
The greatest event in my life happened when in 1998 I was preparing for the defense（论文答辩）of my Doctor’s degree in Stanford University. There the fate made me meet Larry Page—a young computer genius. Larry belonged to the intellectual society. Larry and I quickly became friends when we worked together.
We were searching day and night on the Internet. We were finding a lot of information but with the feeling we still couldn’t find enough of what we were looking for. Naturally the idea for a search engine that would allow specific information to be found in the endless pool of data was born like it came to us. It wasn’t our plans but we gave up the education at the university. You know the next part, maybe we managed to turn an ordinary garage in Meplo Park, California, the U. S. A. into our first office, in which Google was born. With excitement we typed the name of the thing which we created with love on September 14th 1998—www. google.com. Now, after those years we bought this garage. As a symbol it will always remind us that everything is possible

The advertisement appeared in my e-mail—“1-800-Flowers: Mother’s Day Madness —for just $39.99！” I almost clicked on it, forgetting that those services would not be needed this year. My mother, Margaret Feiddman, died at the age of 89, and so this is my first Mother’s Day without my mom.
In my childhood, my mom appeared to be a typical suburban housewife of her generation. She sewed many of my sisters’ clothes, including both of their wedding dresses and boy’s suits for me. And on the side, she won several national bridge tournaments(桥牌锦标赛).
My mom left many indelible marks on me. The first was to never lose heart and to be independent. My dad died suddenly when I was 19. My mom worked hard for a couple of years. But in1975, I won a scholarship to study in Britain and my mom surprised us all by announcing that she decided to go with me. When I met difficulties, she always said: “You’re a man, so never lose heart, never be knocked down, and try your best to pursue(追求) your dreams.”
My mom’s other big influence on me is a sense of optimism (乐观). She had taken her knocks. But every time life knocked her down, she got up and kept on marching forward, encouraged by the saying that pessimists(悲观者) are usually right, optimists are usually wrong, but most great changes are made by optimists.
How I wish to listen to my mother’s words, and give my best regards on this Mother’s Day, but I have no chance now! My best friends, treasure(珍惜)your mother’s love!
The author mentioned the advertisement to ___.
A．show he’s tired of the advertisements B．explain he missed his mother very much
C．make you believe that he was very kind D．urge the readers to buy the present for their mothers
What experience of the author’s mother surprised the author?
A．That she volunteered to go to Britain with her son.
B．That she gained knowledge all by herself.
C．That she did all the housework by herself.
D．That she won several national bridge tournaments.
What dose the underlined word “indelible” in the 3rd paragraph probably mean?
A．be out of control B．be easy to remember
C．be destroyed easily D．be impossible to forget
We can know about the author’s mother that_____.
A．She encouraged the author to pursue his dreams B．she felt very lonely in her late life
C．She never received a present from her children D．she passed away before the author’s father
Which can be the best title for the passage?
A．My Great Mother B．Mother and I
C．Treasure Mother’s Love D．Mother’s Day Madness

Today is the date of that afternoon in April a year ago when I first saw the strange and attractive doll (玩具娃娃) in the window of Abe Shefter's toy shop on Third Avenue near Fifteenth Street, just around the corner from my office, where the plate on the door reads; Dr Samuel Amory. I remember just how it was that day: the first sign of spring floated across the East River, mixing with the soft coal smoke from the factories and the street smells of the poor neighbourhood. As I turned the corner on my way to work and came to Sheftel's. I was made once more known of the poor collection of toys in the dusty window, and I remembered the coming birthday of a samll niece of mine in Cleveland, to whom I was in the habit of sending small gifts. Therefore I stopped and examined the window to see if there might be anything suitable and looked at the collection of unattractive objects
a red toy fire engine, some lead soldiers, cheap baseballs, bottles of ink, pens, yellow envelopes and advertisements for soft-drinks. And thus it was that my eyes finally came to rest upon the doll stored away in one corner, a doll with the strangest, moat charming expression on her face. I could not wholly make her out, due to the shadows and film of dust through which I was looking; but I was sure that a deep impression had been made upon me as though I had run into a person, as one does sometimes with a stranger, with whose personality one is deeply impressed.
1．What made an impression on the author?
[ ]
A．The doll's unusual face.
