On her way to the station, half of her 4 was stolen. The other half was hidden under her blouse, so she 5 still had some left. A few minutes later, she stopped crying, but still looked 6 . When all the seats were taken, the driver started the engine. The conductor began to collect fares (车费). When she came to an old man in worn-out clothes, he 7 that he had spent all his money when he had accidentally got on a wrong bus and now he was trying to go home.

Mother was pulling out quilt (被子) after quilt from the boxes, proudly showing me their beauties. She was preparing for a quilt show at the Elmhurst Church. When we began to fold and put them back into the boxes, I noticed something at the bottom of one box. I pulled it out. "What is this?" I asked. "Oh?" Mom said, "That"s Mama"s quilt." I spread the quilt. It looked at if a group of school children had pieced it together: irregular designs, childish pictures, a crooked line on the right. "Grandmother made this?" I said, surprised. My grandmother was a master at making quilts. This certainly didn"t look like any of the quilts she had made. "Yes, right before she died. I brought it home with me last year and made some changes," she said. "I"m still working on it. See, this is what I"ve done so far." I looked at it more closely. She had made straight a crooked line. At the center of the quilt, she had stitched (缝) a piece of cloth with these words:"My mother made many quilts. She didn"t get all lines straight. But I think this is beautiful. I want to see it finished. Her last quilt." "Ooh, this is so nice, Mom," I said. It occurred to me that by completing my grandmother"s quilt, my mother was honoring her own mother. I realized, too, that I held in my hands a family treasure. It started with the loving hands of one woman, and continued with the loving hands of another. | 1.

It begin when he was selected to help the teachers in the computer laboratories. The peak of his school career came not when he topped the school but when he was selected for the nationwide competition. Unlike everyone else, Nigel wanted to join the contest because he liked playing with the Lego sets and making something out of them. Nigel spent the next two months rebuilding the robot. It was during the time that Nigel found out about the prizes for the competition. Its well us auspices competitor. Alicia, from a neighboring school. His early intentions were forgotten. Getting the thousand-dollar prize was more important than anything else. Nigel decided to befriend Alicia. Unaware of his intentions, she told him all about the robot that she had been building for the competition. He even helped her to put the finishing branches to her robot. He was glad with the way things had progressed. His robot looked even better than Alicia"s and it was able to become a ball with its arms, something Alicia had failed to do. On the day of the competition, he says Alicia. Everything dawned on her the minute she saw him among the competition. She stared at him, puzzled at first, then angry and finally a look of helplessness came over her. The flashbulbs of the camera exploded in Nigel"s try. The robot bird performed actions so unique and different that the specialist judgments were the same. Nigel was so personal with himself that he did not even notice the girl standing a few feet away from him. Without her, he would never win the competition. | 1.

And he loves it. Arthur Bonner works with the Palos Verdes blue butterfly (蝴蝶), once thought to have died out. Today the butterfly is coming back-thanks to him. But years ago if you"d told him this was what he"d be doing someday, he would have laughed," You"re crazy." As a boy, he used to be "a little tough guy on the streets". At age thirteen, he was caught by police stealing. At eighteen, he landed in prison for shooting a man. "I knew it had hurried my mom," Bonner said after he got out of prison. "So I told myself I would not put my mom through that pain again." One day he met Professor Mattoni, who was working to rebuild the habitat (栖息地) for an endangered butterfly called El Segundo blue. "I saw the sign "Butterfly Habitat" and asked, "How can you have a habitat when the butterflies can just fly away?"" Bonner recalls. "Dr. Mattoni laughed and handed me a magnifying glass (放大镜), "Look at the leaves." I could see all these caterpillars (蝴蝶的幼虫) on the plant. Dr Mattoni explained, "Without the plant, there are no butterflies."" Weeks later, Bonner received a call from Dr. Mattoni, who told him there was a butterfly needed help. That was how he met the Palos Verdes blue. Since then he"s been working for four years to help bring the butterfly back. He grows astragalus, the only plant the butterfly eats. He collects butterflies and brings them into a lab to lay eggs. Then he puts new butterflies into the habitat. The butterfly"s population, once almost zero, is now up to 900. For their work, Bonner and Dr. Mattoni received lots of awards. But for Bonner, he earned something more: he turned his life around. For six years now Bonner has kept his promise to stay out of prison. While he"s bringing back the Palos Verdes blue, the butterfly has helped bring him back, too. | 1. When he was young, Arthur Bonner _____. | A. broke the law and ended up in prison B. was fond of shooting and hurt his mom C. often laughed at people on the streets D. often caught butterflies and took them home | 2.
