　　Eric liked to save pennies．Whenever his grandfather came to visit, he told Eric that he could have all the pennies in his pocket．Grandpa always had quite a few．

　　He filled a small box with pennies．Then he put some into an empty bottle．The bottle was soon full of pennies, so he started another one．

　　When his uncle came to visit, Uncle Alan said, “What are you going to do with all those pennies, Eric? A penny doesn’t buy much these days．Maybe you should start a collection．”

　　Uncle Alan took him to a store, and they bought two books．One book had little spaces for pennies made in different years．The other one told how much money a coin dealer would pay for rare pennies．Eric was amazed that a penny sometimes was worth much more than one cent．

　　“Let’s look through your pennies and see what you have here, ” Uncle Alan said．

　　They looked at the dates on the pennies and sorted them into piles by the years in which the pennies were made．Eric then chose the best one from each year to put into his collection book．He soon filled up most of the space with pennies．

　　One penny, however, was different．It was one Eric had found in his own backyard under a big bush．It had been there for a long, long time．He checked the date on the penny, and then looked into the book that told the value of pennies．

　　“Thirty dollars,” the book said! Not many pennies had been made that year, so each one was rare．

　　“Well, what are you going to do, Eric?” his uncle asked：“Are you going to sell it so that you can have a lot of money?”

　　Eric thought of all the things he could buy with that much money．Then he said, “No, I would rather keep the penny as my own．”

I found the imagination of becoming a grandmother somewhat discouraging. I was younger than I thought a grandmother should be when I got the news that I was going to become one myself. I admit, it was not a role that I was emotionally ready to accept. I had been a young mother, and had certainly hoped my daughter would not face that same challenge. I remarried when she was a teenager, and then had two more children. On getting the news that she was expecting, I remember thinking “What do I know about being a grandmother? —I haven’t even finished raising my own kids yet!” I don^’t like to be unprepared, so I read a few books about grandparenting. That gave me a little help, but I was still uncertain. I thought about other grandmothers I knew, and got a few ideas I liked and a few more that I didn't. But I couldn't quite figure out what kind of grandmother I wanted to be. Then I thought about my own grandmother, Granny, as she’s known by most people, and I knew I had the answer.

I didn’t realize it until that moment, but my own grandmother was the example for the kind of grandmother I wanted to be. I am fortunate that I got to spend a lot of time with my grandparents when I was a little kid. Here's what I learned from my Granny：

Grandmothers always have a cookie jar. For my entire life, Granny always had a cookie jar full of cookies. When I was a little tiny girl, just at eye level with the counter, Granny would get the cookie jar down for me. When I was a little older I learned how to pull the chair over so I could reach. As I got taller, if I really stretched, I could reach the cookie jar with my finger tips and move it close enough to get it down off the counter to find out what kind of treat was inside. Always the first thing I did when I went to Granny 's house was check the cookie jar and there were always cookies in it. Many years later, I’ll drive my own children to Granny’s house and the first thing Pd do is get us all a cookie.

So grandmothers must have a cookie jar and on my granddaughte’ s first Christmas, my daughter bought me my own cookie jar. She said when they came to see me, her daughter would find the treat the way she did and I did.

The writer thought it was a little discouraging to be a grandmother because________.

A. she was not old enough to be one

B. she was not emotionally ready to be one

C. she thought her daughter was too young to be a mother

D. grandmother should be older than she was

The underlined phrase “that same challenge ” in the first paragraph refers to” ________”

A. taking care of a grandchild B. taking care of a baby

C. being a young grandmother D. being a young mother

It can be inferred from the last paragraph that________.

A. the writer has many happy memories of her grandmother’s cookie jar

B. the writer always wanted to know what was inside her grandmother’s cookie jar

C. the writer often drove her grandchildren to see her grandmother’s cookie jar

D. women of the writer ‘s age all have a cookie jar for their grandchildren

What kind of grandmother did the writer want to be?

A. One who has a jar filled with many kinds of cookies for children and herself.

B. One who grows up with her grandmother's cookie jar with all kinds of cookies.

C. One who is like her own grandmother with a cookie jar to treat her grandchildren.

D. One who always makes different kinds of cookies to treat her grandchildren.

Which of the following can be the best title of this text?

A. Grandmother’s Cookie Jar B.Grandmother’s Treat for Children

C. Grandmothers and Grandchildren D. Happy Memories of Cookies
