1 . When I was a little girl, every time my dad was repairing something, he would ask me to hold the hammer. And so we would have a time for a conversation.

I grew up and left home for college and since then, my dad had been calling me every Sunday morning. And when several years later I bought a house, my dad went to paint it by himself for three days in the summer heat.    1    But I was too busy in those days. I did not find any time for a conversation with him.

Four years ago, my dad was visiting me. He spent hours putting together a swing set (秋千) for my daughter. He asked to bring him a cup of tea and have a talk with him.     2    I didn’t have time for any long conversations that day.

One Sunday morning we had a telephone talk as usual. I was in a hurry, so our conversation was short.     3    My dad was sent into hospital. Immediately I bought a ticket for a flight and on my way I was thinking about all missed occasions (时刻) to have a talk with him. By the time I arrived, my dad had passed away.     4    I realized how little I knew about my dad, his deepest thoughts and his dreams.

After his death I learned much more about him, and even more about myself. All he ever asked me was my time.     5    

A．A few hours later that day came a call.

B．But I had to prepare for a trip that weekend.

C．I never saw my dad drinking or taking a night out.

D．And now his time has all my attention every single day.

E．All he asked was to hold his paint brush and talk to him.

F．Now it was he who did not have time for a conversation with me.

G．I noticed that my dad had forgotten some things that we discussed lately.

4 . Dear Mary,

I’m very happy to receive your letter. I have always dreamed about having a penfriend. Hopefully, we can learn from each other and grow to be good friends. I think our letters will let us know each other and share parts of our lives.

Your horse Shannon looks beautiful. I also want to live on a farm like you and learn to ride horses. It must be interesting to ride through the beautiful countryside. I have pictured myself in that situation so many times. Your sisters are also lovely. I am the only child in my family, and sometimes I feel very lonely.

Life in New York is so busy and it is difficult to find the time to get to know people. Even becoming close to my classmates is quite difficult. However, sometimes it can be the most fantastic city in the world. At night it is so bright.

I love reading too! But I have never read any books by your favorite author Enid Blyton. I will have to go to the library in my neighborhood and find some. I also enjoy dancing and have dance class every Thursday and Saturday. My other favorite hobby is skating. In winter, I like to skate in Central Park.

I have to go now and do my homework. I really hope that I hear from you soon!

Yours,

Megan

8 . When I was a freshman, on Christmas break I went home and looked through the bags of clothes Mom intended to give away. I took a baggy red shirt, for I needed something to wear in art class. Mom was surprised. She wore that when she was pregnant with my younger brother.

The red shirt became a part of my college wardrobe. After graduation, I wore the shirt the day I moved into my new apartment and on Saturday morning when I cleaned. When I became pregnant, I wore the red shirt during big-belly days. I missed Mom and the rest of my family. But that shirt helped. I smiled, remembering that Mother had worn it when she was pregnant, 15 years earlier. That Christmas, thinking of the warm feelings the shirt had given me, I wrapped it in holiday paper and sent it to Mom. When Mom wrote to thank me for her “real” gift, she said the red shirt was lovely. She never mentioned it again. The next year, when my husband and I moved the kitchen table, I noticed something red taped to its bottom. It was the shirt! And so the pattern was set.

On our next visit home, I secretly placed the shirt under Mom and Dad’s mattress. Two years passed before I discovered it under the base of our living-room floor lamp. The red shirt was just what I needed now while refinishing furniture. The walnut stains added character.

Years later, my husband and I divorced. With my three children, I prepared to move back to Illinois, depressed. Suddenly I saw the stained red shirt. I smiled. After unpacking in our new home I visited her, and I hid it in her bottom dresser drawer. Meanwhile, I found a good job at a radio station. A year later I discovered the red shirt hidden in a rag bag in my cleaning closet. The shirt was Mother’s final gift. Mother died three months later.

I was tempted to send the red shirt, faded but in decent shape, with her to her grave. But I’m glad I didn’t, my older daughter is in college now, majoring in art. And every art student needs a baggy red shirt to wear to art class.

1. Where did the author get the shirt for the first time?

C．In her college wardrobe.	D．In the kitchen.

2. How did the shirt help the author?

A．The shirt made her find a good job at a radio station.

B．The shirt relieved homesickness from the author.

C．The shirt was the only clothes that the author had for art class.

D．The shirt was the cheapest gift to give to her Mom for Christmas.

3. What does the underlined phrase “the pattern” refer to in the text?

A．Visiting the parents regularly.	B．Often tapping something to the bottom of the table.
C．Moving the kitchen table regularly.	D．Secretly giving and receiving the shirt.

4. What is the important reason for the author’s valuing the shirt so much?

A．That her daughter needs it in art class.	B．That it symbolizes mother’s love.
C．That it is still in decent shape though faded.	D．That it is from her dead Mom.
