both very       31    , the stranger and I. Then we went       32    our way after saying good-bye.

But at home a    33    story is told. Later that day, when I    34    supper in the kitchen, my daughter suddenly stood behind me very 35    .

On the kitchen floor later, I found some flowers by the door.

That night, while I lay          39    in bed, a voice in my deep heart said, “While    40    with a stranger, you are so polite, but with the children you love, you are so easily       41    . Why are there some flowers by the door? Those are the flowers she brought for you. She          42    them herself, pink, yellow and your favorite blue. She stood quietly in order to give you a   43    , and you never saw the         44    in her eyes.”

By this time, I felt very               45    and now my tears began to fall. I quietly went and knelt (跪下) by her   46    , “Wake up, little girl, wake up,” I said, “Are these the flowers you picked for me?” She smiled, “Yes, because I knew you’d like them, especially the               47    .” I said, “Daughter, I’m sorry for the way I acted today; I               48    have shouted at you that way.”

She said, “Oh, Mom, that’s okay. I love you       49    .” I hugged her and said, “Daughter, I love you too, and I do like the flowers.”

Do you know when and where ice cream got its start? It's an international favorite with a long and interesting history

The earliest ices were eaten in China many years ago. The people would put orange juice on ice .Later, this idea traveled to Italy. Nero, the emperor of Rome between 37 and 68 A.D, liked to eat ices as a special treat between violin lessons. He ordered runners to run to the mountains, get snow and quickly run back to the palace; The snow was mixed with fruit juices and nuts.

Around 1660,Coffee shops serving ice cream were very popular in Paris. Most of the coffee shops were owned by Italians. The first successful one was opened by a man from Sicily named Francesco Procopio.

Ice cream was probably brought to America in the early 1700's, and quickly became the favorite of American presidents. George Washington had ice cream pots and machines in his kitchen. Dolly Madison the wife of President Madison, was the first person to actually serve it in the White House. She made her guests very  happy when she served her favorite dessert.

Before ice cream was sold in stores, it was made and frozen at home. it took a lot of work to mix cream，eggs，fruit，and salt, and then to freeze it. Nancy Johnson, an American woman who was good with machines, invented the hand-turned ice cream freezer in 1846. Five years later, Jacob Fluse opened the first ice cream business, in Baltimore, Maryland His business quickly spread to other states. Today in the United States,  ice cream is not only a food , it is away of life.
