1 . Today was Mother’s Day. The young woman was feeling a little ______ because she was 800 miles away from her parents.
In the morning she called her mother to ______ her a happy Mother’s Day and her mother told her about the beautiful lilacs (丁香花) in their garden.
Later that day, she told her husband how she ______ those lilacs in her parents’ garden. “I know where we can find some,” he said. “Get the ______ and come on.” So off they went, ______ down the country roads. There on a small hill were a lot of colorful lilacs. The young woman ______ over and buried her face in the flowers, ______ and enjoying them. Carefully she ______ a few and went back to the car.
On the way home the woman held her flowers, ______ all the way. When they were passing a ______, the young woman saw an old granny sitting alone in a wheelchair at the gate.“______!” she said to her husband. Getting off the car, she quickly walked up to the granny and put the ______ in her hands. As their car pulled away, the old granny ______ with a smile and held the lilacs tightly (紧紧地).
When the young mother sat back to the car, her kids asked her ______, “Who is that old granny? Why did you give her ______ flowers?” “I don’t know her. It is Mother’s Day, and she seems so ______ while I have all of you. I believe those flowers ______ much to her.” The kids nodded with ______, looking rather happy.
Now, every Mother’s Day my kids will go to that small ______ and pick some lilacs for me and that old granny. I’m glad that my small act of ______ has a good effect on my kids.
