Money wasn’t too important now, as my husband made a very 19 living for us. But what should I do? What sort of 20 should I look for? I knew I needed to be 21 as to what I became involved with. I am not a "quitter"(容易放弃的人) and so I hoped to 22 becoming responsible to an employer in a job that might turn out to be a mistake for me.
While I made painful efforts thinking over what to do, I was 23 of a past incident where I needed to replace my original engagement ring 24 the gold was wearing thin. My husband and I shopped and shopped for one, 25 we went, even when we were on vacation. 26 this nonstop searching got my poor 27 to ask, "Just what kind of ring do you want, what exactly are we looking for?" My reply was, "I honestly don’t 28, but when I see the correct setting, I will know it." That was the 29 I felt about the new career I wished to start; I didn’t have an exact idea as to what I wanted to do, but knew there was a perfect fit for me, if I would 30 be patient.

A group of 1,309 passengers boarded the MS Balmoral on Sunday, in Southampton, England, on a voyage to retrace (重走) the path of the Titanic. The Titanic was the biggest ship in the world when it sailed on its ill-fated first voyage on April 10, 1912. Of the 2,227 passengers and crew aboard, more than l,500 died. The ship, which was headed for New York City, carried the rich and famous on its first voyage. It also carried immigrants who were seeking a better life in America.
Relatives of people who sailed on the Titanic, historians, authors and people fascinated by the story of the unsinkable ship were on the Balmoral. They wanted to remember the Titanic and those who died on her first and last voyage.
The Balmoral was following Titanic’s original route from Southampton. First, the modern-day cruise liner docked (进港) in the port of Cherbourg, France, where the Titanic had picked up more passengers. On Monday afternoon, the Balmoral stopped in Cobh, Ireland, the Titanic’s last port of call before sailing to New York.
The Balmoral then sailed the North Atlantic Ocean to the location where the Titanic hit an iceberg. On Sunday, April 15, at 2:20 a.m. — the time the Titanic went down - passengers and crew held a memorial service. The next two days were spent in Halifax, Canada, where many victims of the Titanic are buried. Then, the Balmoral reached its final destination in New York City, where the Titanic was supposed to dock — but never did.
So far, several teams of divers have explored the site. They have recovered items such as dishes and silverware and put them on public display. And the Titanic and its passengers and crew have been remembered in books, movies and TV programs. But there’s a much more important contribution that the Titanic has given us. After she sank, lawmakers and ship builders made ships safer. It took a terrible tragedy to make ship travel safer for all.

A.the Titanic sank on its second voyage |
B.about 700 passengers of the Titanic survived |
C.less than 2,000 passengers boarded the Titanic |
D.all the passengers’ hopes of the Titanic lay in America |

A.d-e-c-a-b | B.e-d-a-b-c | C.e-c-a-b-d | D.d-c-e-a-b |
A.Its site attracts many exploration teams. | B.It has made later ships more secure. |
C.Some of its items are on public display. | D.More trips are planned to its site. |
A.The unsinkable ship | B.The Titanic today |

All over my garden I’ve planted nothing but roses, sweet and — if looked at far away — bright with color like sunset clouds, I’d be very happy if anyone of my visiting friends should desire to pick and take some for their homes. I trust that any friend of mine carrying the rose would disappear into the distance feeling that his emotions had been rekindled (重燃).
A close friend came for a visit the other day. I know her to be a lover of flowers and plants. And for that reason I told her at her departure that she should pick a bunch of roses to grace her bedroom. I promised that the smell of the roses would be wafted far, far away.
That girl friend of mine, tiptoeing into the garden in high spirits, smelt here and there, but in the end she didn’t pick a single rose. I said there were so many of them that she would pick as many as she’d like to; I told her that I was not a flower farmer and didn’t make a living out of them. Saying so I raised the scissors for the sacrifice of the flowers, but she stopped me, crying no, no, no!
To cut such beautiful roses would hurt one, she said. With her hands seizing at my sleeves, she told me that by no means should they be cut. Roses are the smiling face of the earth, and who could be so iron-hearted as to destroy a smile so charming?
My mind was thoroughly shocked: the ugly earth, the rough earth, the plain earth—it is for the reason of that smile that it wins the care and pity of people
The underlined word “wafted” in Paragraph 2 is closest in meaning to “__________”.
A. moved B. lost C. destroyed D. felt
The writer plants nothing but roses in her garden probably because __________.
A. she can make money out of them
B. her friends like them
C. she enjoys the roses very much
D. the roses can rekindle her friends’ emotions
Why did the writer’s close friend refuse to pick a single rose?
A. Because the roses were not beautiful
B. Because she did not like this kind of roses
C. Because the writer did not want to give her any
D. Because she loved the roses very much
What would be the best title for the passage?
A. A lovely rose garden. B. The smiling face of the earth
C. The pity of people to the roses. D. A lover of flowers
