Four years ago my sweet mom went to be with her Lord. She did it her way.
I got the call at work, and I headed home quickly. Mom and Dad lived on a small farm that they had owned since I was seven. I hated going there every weekend. There was nothing for a young girl to do but watch the one station on the old TV set, if the weather allowed reception.
My mom, on the other hand, loved the peace and quiet of the land and loved to work in the garden among her flowers and vegetables. The place was rustic, with no indoor plumbing or heat. We had a big wood stove in the kitchen that did its best to heat the little farmhouse, but it always seemed cold and too quiet to me.
In the evenings, my mom and I would sit for hours singing in the little kitchen. I sang the melody and Mom harmonized. Her favorite song was "Moon River" and we sang it over and over. Mom told me stories about how when I was a little girl, I could sing before I could talk. She loved to tell how my playpen（婴儿圈栏）sat in the kitchen next to the radio and there was one song I particularly loved called "Ivory Tower".
As time passed, I had my own children and went to visit every week or two. The kids loved the farm and the tractor rides with my dad. Me, well, I still hated the silence of the farm. While my mom loved to sit at her kitchen table and look out at her garden and flowers and retell all the old stories, I missed the hustle and bustle（喧闹）of my life at home. But I sat there listening quietly as she reminisced.
Now, I sat back in the silence and the silence was deafening so I finally leaned over to turn on an old radio. Music always comforted me.
My heart skipped a beat. "Moon River" was playing on the radio. I sat there stunned, with a tear running down my cheek, as I listened to every familiar note.
Then the radio announcer of this oldie station came on. "Here's one we haven't heard in a while," and an unfamiliar song began. I began to cry harder as I heard the words sung over the airwaves. "Come down, come down from your Ivory Tower...."
【小题1】 The writer didn’t like staying in the farm for the following reasons EXCEPT that ________.

Two thirds of the singles looking for love in Britain turned to the Internet last year, according to figures made in public yesterday. Special sites offer introductions to smokers, Roman Catholics, tall people, beautiful people, frequent flyers and vegetarians. Technology has brought about a great change in the dating games.

  A survey by Parsnip, a Britain branch of Eurpe’s largest dating service with more than 1.5 million members , says that 65 percent of the 5.4 million Britons looking for a relationship used online dating services last year.

  A spokeswoman for Relate, the relationship advisor ,confirmed that a figure of two thirds feel it all right. “Doing it online allows people quite a lot of privacy , because they can do a bit of quiet research and look around from the comfort of their own home .You don’t have to meet a middleman or go to an actual dating agency office, which takes a lot of courage.” she said.

  There are more than 100 independent online dating agencies in Britain .Parsnip says that 50 percent of single people believe they will meet a suitable partner through the Internet ,from 35 percent six months ago.

  Mary Balfour, the founder ,says that the Internet has changed the dating industry completely. “It’s like a return to old-fashioned love letters,” she said .”You don’t base your initial judgment on how someone looks or what his or her figure is like . You e-mail or talk before you actually see each other .Everybody you know who is single these days has at least had a good look at a dating site ,introduction agency or personal ad. They have to , because all the old matchmaking institutions have gone. People work harder , settle down later and live more isolated lives. They are much more likely to end the day with DVD and a can of beer than by going to a village dance.
