From the time each of my children started school, I packed their lunches. And in each lunch I packed, I included a note. Often written on a piece of small paper, it might be a thank-you for an unusual moment, a reminder of something we were happily expecting, or a bit of encouragement for the coming test or sporting event.
In early grade school they loved their notes. But as children grow older they become self-conscious（有自我意识的）, and by the time he reached high school, my older son, Marc, informed me he no longer enjoyed my daily notes. Telling him that he no longer needed to read them but I still needed to write them, I continued until the day he graduated.
Six years after high school graduation, Marc called and asked if he could move home for a couple of months. He had spent those years well, graduation from college, completing two internship（实习）in Washington, D.C., and finally, becoming a technical assistant in Sacramento. However, he had lived away from home except for short holiday visits. With his younger sister leaving for college, I was especially happy to have Marc back. Since I was still making lunch for his younger brother, I packed one of Marc, too. Imagine my surprise when I got a call from my 24-year-old son, asking about his lunch.
“Did I do something wrong? Don’t you love me any longer, Mom?” he asked.
“Of course I love you, dear!” I laughingly said. “What’s wrong?”
“My note, Mom,” he answered. “Where’s my note?”
1.The writer wrote the daily notes in her children’s exercise books, didn’t she?
2.What kind of note did the writer give her children before a test?

3.What did Marc suggest his mother do when he reached high school?

In 2012, I had just become better from a serious illness when I received an invitation to a writer`s conference in Orlando, Florida. My family suggested that a h1. might be just what the doctor orders, so off I went.
I was rather t2., arriving in the Sunshine State, but I managed to catch a taxi to my hotel and settle in. The next morning, I took another taxi to the shopping centre to buy a few gifts. Later I went to a café to have lunch, but all the tables were full of people. Then I heard a f3. voice saying, “You can s4. my table.”
I thankfully sat down with the old lady and we had a happy lunch together. As the m5. drew to a close, she asked how long I would be in Orlando. I had already told her that I hadn`t hired(雇用) a car, and I hadn`t realized how e6. taking taxis would be, after a while she said, “My dear, don`t use any more taxis. I`m retired and it would be my pleasure to drive you wherever you wish.” I told her that I couldn`t put her to that t7., but she took no notice of my protests(反对). She asked me where I was staying and the next morning she was w8. at my apartment at the exact time to take me to Disney World. She spent some time with me before leaving me to explore(探索) alone. At the end of the day, she returned to take me back to where I stayed. I o9. her money but she refused to take any.
I`ll never forget that wonderful lady who, through her kindness, f10. my short holiday in Florida with wonderful memories.
