Then I remembered a   40  tradition（传统）when our children were small When  41 their grandparents’ home after a visit, each child would write a love note to their grandparents.

Some were  47 , “Dad, I put the food in the fridge so it wouldn’t go bad.” Some expressed my love, “Dad, I   48  you will sleep well in your new  49 .” Most notes were down-stairs where he would stay for several weeks until he  50  strength, but one note I hid upstairs under his pillow, “Dad, if you have found this  51 , you must be feeling better. We are so glad!”

Just like his  52   strengthened him physically, these “emotional vitamins” would   53__   his spiritual health. Several weeks later, in one of our  54  phone calls, I asked Dad how he was

We are going on a long train journey. Out of the windows, we can see cars running on nearby highways, children waving at a crossing, cattle grazing（吃草） on a distant hillside, smoke pouring from factories, village houses and city skylines.
But   36  in our minds is the final destination（目的地）. On a certain day at a certain hour, we will  37  into the station. Bands will be playing and flags   38  . Once we get there, so many wonderful dreams will   39  and the pieces of our lives will fit together like a(n)   40   jigsaw（拼图） puzzle. How restlessly we pace the aisles（过道）, damning（诅咒） the minutes for waiting, waiting for the station.
“When we reach the  41  , that will be it!” We cry “When I am 18.” “When I  42  a new 450SL Mercedes Benz!” “When I put the   43  kid through college.” “When I have   44  off the debts!” “When I get a promotion（提升）.” “When I reach the age of retirement, I shall live   45  ever after!”
  46  , we come to realize that there is no such station as we arrive at once and for all. The  47  joy of life is the trip. The station is only a dream. It   48  leaves us behind.
“Cherish（珍视） the moment” is a good   49  . It is the burdens（负担） of today that drive us to keep on   50  . And it is the regrets over yesterday that motivate（激发） us to overcome the   51  and look forward to the future.
So   52  pacing the aisles and counting the miles.   53  , climb more mountains, eat more ice cream, go barefoot（赤脚） more   54  , swim more rivers, watch more sunsets, laugh more and cry less. Life must be lived   55  we go along. The station will come soon enough.

This week was busier than usual, and I was very tired today. All I wanted to do was to go home and enjoy a bowl of good hot soup.

But when I saw my daughter’s car, I knew that it was Bryan’s night. Since his parents separated, I had tried to have my six-year-old grandson spend a few hours with me at least once a week. I had always tried to make it a special time for him. We did many interesting things; Bryan loved all these activities, and so did I. But today I had to give up our evening. I said how tired I was feeling. “Bryan, I’m sorry. Tonight I don’t feel like having fun or playing games. We’ll have our night together some other time.” I saw the sadness in Bryan’s eyes. He said, “I like soup, Grandma.” I knew he meant “Please don’t send me away. Please let me stay.” I saw the shadow (阴影) in Bryan’s eyes. Something else was changing. Maybe he thought I wouldn’t want to have him come any more — not tonight, not next week, not ever. Finally, I said OK. I was glad to see his eyes light up. After I put the soup on the stove (炉子) and turned on the TV, I fell asleep.

When I woke up, there was a coat over my legs, and the soup was gone. Bryan was on the floor, reading a coloring book and watching a television show at the same time. The poor boy must have been so bored (烦躁的)! When he found I was awake, he ran over and gave me a big hug. “I love you, Grandma,” he said. “Haven’t we had a nice time together?” His big smile and happy eyes told me that this time he meant exactly what he was saying. That was the keyword — together. We had done nothing exciting or special. But we were together.

1.What does the underlined part (in Paragraph 2) mean?

A．It was time to cook hot soup for Bryan that night.

B．This was the evening when Bryan stayed with his grandma.

C．Bryan would have a good rest that night.

D．Bryan would stay with his parents that night.

2.Why didn’t the author want to stay with her grandson that night at first?

A．She was too tired to have fun or play games with him.

B．She was sick and wanted to have a good rest.

C．She was too busy and had to work overtime that night.

D．She had to prepare soup for the whole family.

3.How many times did the author describe Bryan’s eyes?

A．1.               B．2.                C．3.               D．4.

4.From the passage, we can infer that _____.

A．Bryan’s parents separated so he had to live with his grandma

B．Bryan was sad that night because his grandma didn’t play with him

C．the author wouldn’t want to stay with her grandson any more

D．the author and her grandson loved each other very much
