【推荐1】Every year on my birthday since I was 11, a white gardenia (栀子花) was sent to my house. No card ever came with it. Calls to the flower shop were not helpful at all. After some time, I stopped trying to find out the sender’s name and was just pleased with the beautiful white flower, in soft pink paper.
I couldn’t stop imagining who the giver might be, though. Some of my happiest moments were spent daydreaming about the sender. My mother encouraged these daydreams. She’d ask me if I had been especially kind to someone. Perhaps it was one of my classmates. Perhaps it was the old man. He lived across from the street. I’d delivered his mail during the winter. As a girl, though, I had more fun imagining that it might be a boy that I had met.
A month before my high school graduation, my father died. I was so sad that I became completely uninterested in my upcoming graduation dance, and I didn’t care whether I had a new dress or not. My mother, in her own sadness, however, would not let me miss any of those things. She wanted her children to feel loved. In fact, my mother wanted her children to see themselves much like the gardenia: lovely, strong and perfect, with perhaps a bit of mystery.
When I was 26, I got married. My mother died ten years after I was married. That was the year the gardenia stopped coming.

Over time,I did get a little bit faster. However, I was really slow. In races, I would finish close to last. I'd always have to stop more than once, especially in the longer races, which were 2. 5 to 2. 8 km. After every race, I'd go home and cry. But 1 still didn't stop running, holding onto that picture of crossing the finishingline and finally doing well.
Then one of my friends joined the team, too. She could run easily and even came in the 18th in a big race! I felt so slow and my confidence(自信) was lower than ever. I became so nervous when I thought of the races that I wanted to give up badly.
Still. I refund to. Finally. 1 realized that the reason I was to nervous was that I was always worried that I wasn't ready for them. So a few weeks before the next 2. 8-km race. I practiced running almost 3 km every day. which helped me improve my pace(步伐).
When the time came for the big race, all that practicing really paid off. I stopped only once and my pace was so much better.
I realized that I’d finally gotten happiness with running. But the funny thing was. It didn't come from doing better, Instead, it came from the fact that I hid tried harder and never given up.

【推荐3】I was quite close to my grandmother, Julia. We lived with her and then she lived with us. She was a very nice person, both kind and patient. She taught me to read and write day and day when I was young. She helped me to be interested in stories and poems.
In my mind, my grandmother was a great cook. She cooked more delicious food than anything you can eat in a restaurant today. She always cooked for family and friends.

【推荐2】The fourth Thursday of November is Thanksgiving Day（感恩节）. It is a holiday in the USA. Usually family members and friends get together for a dinner. People sometimes drive their cars a long way for a family reunion. Many people also take Friday off to make a long weekend holiday as most Americans do not work on Saturdays and Sundays. Thanksgiving Day began in 1621. When the first English settlers（定居者）reached the New World, they did not have enough food. But the American Indians helped the white men and taught them how to farm. In the autumn after the English settlers came to America, they had a good harvest. They were so pleased. They decided to invite their Indian friends to dinner to thank them and God for their help.
