A little boy came up to his mother in the kitchen one evening while she was fixing supper, and handed her a piece of paper that he had been writing on. After mom dried her hands on apron, she read it, and this is what it said:

For cutting the grass: $5.00

For cleaning up my room this week: $1.00

For going to the store for you: $0.50

Baby-sitting my kid brother while you went shopping: $0.25

Taking out the garbage: $1.00

For getting a good report card: $5.00

For cleaning up and raking the yard: $2.00

Total owed: $14.75

For the nine months I carried while you were growing inside me: No Charge

For all the trying times, and all the tears that you've caused through the years: No Charge

For the toys, food ,clothes, and even wiping your nose: No Charge

Son, when you add it up, the cost of my love is: No Charge.

【小题1】 The underlined sentence “the boy could see the memories flashing through her mind.” means _______.

 (08·湖北C篇)

One August afternoon, Richard Allen dropped off his last passenger, Mrs.Carey.Lifting two grocery bags, he followed her across the yard and stood on the step of her house.Glancing up, he saw a large wasp’s（黄蜂） nest under the roof.Allen had heard that wasps can become more likely to sting (sting, sting, stung蜇) in summer.He mentioned this to Mrs.Carey, who had opened the door.

“Oh, they don’t bother me,” she said lightly.“I go in and out all the time.”

Anxiously, Allen looked at the nest again — to see the wasps flying straight at him.“Hurry!” he shouted to Mrs.Carey.“Get in!”

She stepped quickly inside.Allen ran for his minibus.Too late; they were upon him.Just as he jumped aboard, half a dozen red spots showed on his arms, and he felt more on his back and shoulders.

As he was driving down the road, Allen felt as if something was burning at the back of his neck, and the “fire” was spreading forward toward his face.An immediate anxiety took hold of him.Allen knew that stings could cause some persons to die.But he had been stung the previous summer and the after-effects soon passed.However, what he didn’t know was that the first sting had turned his body into a time bomb waiting for the next to set off an explosion.

Miles from the nearest medical assistance, Allen began to feel his tongue thick and heavy and his heartbeat louder.Most frightening, he felt his breathing more and more difficult.He reached for the radio mike(话筒), trying to call the minibus center, but his words were hardly understandable.Signals were also poor that far out.He knew a rescue team was on 24-hour duty at the Amherst Fire Department’s north station.So his best chance was to make a run for it.

Rushing down the mountain, Allen tried not to panic, focusing his mind on each sharp turn.He was almost through the last of them when he felt sure he was going into shock（休克）.Just then he reached for the radio mike again.

“Call fire station,” he shouted, concentrating to form the words.“Emergency.Bee sting.Emergency.There in ten minutes.”

“Five-ten,” the center replied.

Hold on, Allen thought.Keep your eyes open.Breathe.Keep awake.

At last he reached the station.Two firemen ran out.Allen felt their hands grasp him before he hit the ground.You made it, he thought.
