watering and weeding over everything.For many years we lived next door to each other,and she
spent as much time in my garden as she did her own.After the flowers became plentiful each
summer,she would cut colorful bouquets (花束) to enjoy inside the house-both hers and mine.I
would often come home from work and find a beautiful arrangement (布置) of fresh flowers on
my coffee table.
Shortly before Christmas one year,a local flower shop offered a bouquetamonth special.It
seemed to be a great way to thank her for all of the flowers she had given me through the years.
After the holidays,in early January,I drove her to the flower shop to pick up her first month"s
bouquet.The small fresh colorful bouquet would hardly fill a small vase (花瓶).
I was so embarrassed (尴尬的). However,after we returned home,she began to arrange the
flowers she had received."Mom,I"m sorry," I told her."I can"t believe how skimpy that bouquet is."
She looked at me and smiled."It"s okay," she said."It allows me to better enjoy the beauty of each
one."
Mom"s words helped me to realize something bigger and more important-when we have too many
good things,we often fail to enjoy the beauty of each one.
Thanks,Mom,for helping me understand that less is sometimes more.

active,but she was always very sweet and nice.In the 5th grade she came to my class.
She was absent a lot,and one day I had the courage to ask why.She told me she was sick,and she
explained she wore a wig (假发) because her medicine made her lose her hair.We_left_it_at_that.Anytime Lisa came to class-seldom-I would hang with her on the playground.

Lisa.My family education taught me to be nice,and I felt Lisa"s needs were much more important than
others I knew.

never spoke of her illness as if it could kill her.Well,all these years I have kept Lisa in my mind and heart.When I go through the important events in my life,I think of Lisa.I"ve had a strong wish recently to find her mother and father.I"d like to tell them that though they never met me,their daughter had a sweet effect (影响) on my life.I have no idea what her parents"first names are.I write to your column (栏目) and hope you can point me in the right direction.

did not accept his 9 .
At last, one mouse, 10 than the rest, jumped onto a table.Waving a bell, he called for 11 , "Be

| "How was school, Ben?" I asked my grandson after he began kindergarten (幼儿园) this year."The work is too long...and there"s not enough time to play, " he replied. I couldn"t help but remember Ben"s own mother, my daughter, Jane, and her reaction (反应) to the first day of school.Julie was also disappointed with the first day of school and so was her  little sister."Iwant to go "sool"and you not let me!" my threeyearold daughter announced angrily after her big sister got on the big yellow school bus. When Julie returned home that afternoon I asked her the same question that I asked Ben, "How was school, Julie?" Julie replied, "I didn"t learn to read today." This year as the school bus went by my house, my mind went back to those school days again.I could almost smell the chalk dust in the air.I also wonder what the children these days manage to get chosen to do in order to get out of school for a few moments since there are no erasers to clean.It was fun to be "chosen" for eraser cleaning duty.This was a task finished by going outside and beating erasers together while sneezing and coughing.No_wonder_so_many_babies_now_have_allergies_(过敏症), it"s_simply_ because_we_all_have_chalk_dust_in_our_lungs! On the first day of school, the expectation was so great that I would ready long before it was time to leave for school.We didn"t miss having backpacks because we had cigar boxes.We carried our small supplies inside a cigar box from one of the local stores.We saved the cigar boxes  and used them from year to year until they fell apart. The first day of school was exciting.It was a new beginning.The doors of knowledge had been opened.The first day of school is an event in our lives that most of us remember.It"s a big step for a small child toward leaving babyhood behind and so "there isn"t enough time to play". No matter how old we get, nor how much we learn, it still seems like "The work is too long...and there"s not enough time to play." | |||
| 1. Why did Jane become angry according to the passage? | |||
| A. Because she didn"t learn to read on the first day of school. B. Because there was too much work for her to do at school. C. Because she had no time to play at sch  ool.D. Because she wasn"t allowed to go to school. | |||
| 2. The underlined sentence in Paragraph 4 suggests that________. | |||
A. the author was thinking of her school days jokinglyB. the author warned students against the harm of chalk dust C. the author suffered from an allergy because of chalk dust D. the author doubted whether her lungs had chalk dust | |||
| 3. When the author went to school, she________. | |||
| A. usually carried a backpack full of books B. used to fill a cigar box with small things C. wasn"t happy and expected nothing D. often had a cigar box instead of a backpack | |||
| 4. In the opinion of the author, the first day of school is________. | |||
| A. a day when a child is the happiest B. a day when a child does much work C. the beginning of great learning D. the end of childhood full of toys | |||
| 5. Which of the following may the author agree with? | |||
| A. Children have too much homework to do now. B. Teachers should make their classes interesting on the first day of school. C. School days haven"t changed over years. D. People never have enough time to play once they start school. | |||
