A policeman came and said, "It is dangerous to stay on it! Come down!" " Wait a minute, please!" Henry said and just at that moment the policeman heard cheers on the playground and asked in a hurry, " which team has kicked a goal?" " ours!" " wonderful! You can stay there. But take care!" The policeman said happily and left. When the match would be soon over, he came back again and asked, " who has won?" " Theirs, 3:2 " " Come down," the policeman said angrily.

He was the first student on in the morning , as we were farthest from school, and the last student off in the evening. I was a teacher myself and it was a comfort to realize the school staff were all working as hard as I was to provide a safe learning environment. One day I came home from work and waited for my son to get home for a long time. Then I called the school. " perhaps he"s just a bit late," said the secretary. " I will call the driver to see if those children are home." A few minutes later, I answered the phone to hear that the other students were home. Then I called his friends" parents, to see if perhaps he had gotten off at their stop to play. The answers were all " No" By that time, it was dark and I was scared. My home was in the mountain areas. My husband wasn"t at home, so I forced myself to calm down and decided to go out to look for him. I was about to go out when the telephone rang; it was from the driver. "He"s okay." I heard. " He was asleep on the seats in the dark, under a couple of jackets. Since it"s dark, can he spend the night with my family?" I was relieved and agreed. Since my son had a great adventure, the school started giving a copy of the list to the driver, so he could check off the children"s names when they got off the bus. I think highly of the school for taking the cautionary(警戒的) step ahead; it is a sign of their concern for students, parents, and staff.

I spent hours and days thinking of different things I could plant that would look nice together. But then we had Matthew. And Marvin. And the twins, Alisa and Alan. And then Helen. Five children. I was too busy raising them to grow a garden. Money was tight, as well as time. Often when my children were little, one of them would want something that cost too much, and I"d have to say, "Do you see a money tree outside? Money doesn"t grow on trees, you know." Finally, all five children got through high school and college and were off on their own. I started thinking again about having a garden. I wasn"t sure, though. I mean, gardens do cost money, and after all these years I was used to living on a pretty poor, no-frills budget (预算). Then, one spring morning, on Mother"s day, I was working in my kitchen. Suddenly, I realized that cars were tooting their horns as they drove by. I looked out of the window and there was a new tree, planted right in my yard. I thought it must be a weeping willow, because I saw things blowing around on all its branches. Then I put my glasses on-and I couldn"t believe what I saw. There was a money tree in my yard! I went outside to look. It was true! There were dollar bills, one hundred of them, tied all over the tree. Think of all the garden flowers I could buy with one hundred dollars! There was also a note attached: "IOU eight hours of digging time. Love, Marvin." Marvin kept his promise, too. He dug up a nice ten-by-fifteen foot bed for me. And my other children bought me tools, a trellis (绷架), a sunflower stepping stone and gardening books. That was three years ago. My garden"s now very pretty, just like what I wanted. When I go out to weed or tend my flowers, I don"t seem to miss my children as much as I once did. It feels like they are right there with me. I live up in Michigan"s Upper Peninsula, where winters are long and cold, and summers are too short. But every year now, when winter sets in, I look out of my window and think of the flowers I"ll see next spring in my little garden. I think about what my children did for me, and I get tears in my eyes---every time. I"m still not sure that money grows on trees. But I know love does.

A. Observation is the best teacher B. Seeing is believing C. The outsider sees the most of the game D. It is not easy to gain money

4. The best title for the passage would probably be _____.
A. My flower garden B. Marvin helps to realize my dream C. Love in Michigan D. Money grows on trees | 完形填空 | Inspiration "Mama, when I grow up, I"m going to be one of those!"
