阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。
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(怀孕), 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 is what I learned from my Granny：
Grandmothers always have a cookie jar. For my whole 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 to do is get us all a cookie.
So grandmothers must have a cookie jar, and on my granddaughter’ 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.

Last weekend, I was walking across the village green(草坪) when I saw an elderly gentleman on the bench, just overlooking the duck pond. I thought he looked a bit forlorn(被遗弃的) so I went over and sat next to him.
After a few 36 about how nice the weather was and how there were a lot of ducks in the pond today, he told me how he used to come with his wife and watch the children feed the ducks with their mums. They didn't have any 37 of their own..So they cherished being together even more.
He explained he had been married for 54 years 38 his wife died and how much he missed 39 all the little things with her, like a beautiful sunset. He now lives in a care home. I remarked at how wonderful it must've been to have been married for so long and to have so many happy memories. He took out a large 40 and wiped his eyes and said he had one regret that in all that time he 41 told her how much he really loved her.
He showed me a photograph of them when they were young. The photo was taken more than 50 years ago. He couldn't believe how the time had 42 . I tried to comfort him by explaining that his wife would be still 43 over him and he could talk to her 44 he wants and that she knows how much he loved her because she can see into his heart.
The old man tried to 45 for blurting out his life story but I hushed him and said how privileged I felt he could talk to me and how much it meant to me.
The 46 I learned from this chance encounter is that we must tell the ones close to us how much we love and care for them and not take them for granted.
Don't 47 your kind acts until tomorrow; do them today because time flies.

The Mississippi
The Mississippi is a romantic river whose relationship with man goes back beyond its discovery by the Spaniards in the 16th century．Indians used the river as a highway and as a source of food．and it was they who gave it its name“misi-sipi”，meaning“river of many fishes”．European explorers called it the Mississippi．Today, it is often called“Old Man River”．
45 ．Flowing from north to south，it gathers many waters on its way．You will easily understand why it is called“Old Man River”，or the“Father of Waters”．A lot of early setters built their homes on the land along its waters．The Mississippi was and is the old man of all American people，too
46 ．In 1927 the Mississippi flooded 26 thousand acres，sweeping away farms，towns，everything in its path．In 1938 its floods drowned or killed 200 people and made millions homeless．Today the river has largely been controlled．
47 ．Pioneers who first reached its banks wondered not only where it went，but what lay beyond．In 1764 the French founded a city on the right bank of the river, and named it after their king，Louis XV．This city, named St Louis，became the jumping-off place for the adventurous men and women who opened up the Great Plains，and the way to the Far West．
48 ．One of the saddest memories may be that of the blacks who were carried down the river and sold as slaves．The river also remembers that their sobbing and crying voices once passed over its waters．
49 ．Today, the river is still an important part of the American economy．Goods are carried up and down the river to get to other parts of the country and the world．
