A. Choose the best answer（根据短文内容，选择最恰当的答案) (12分)

I am the mother of a five-year-old girl now, but I’ll never forget some of the best lessons my mother taught me.

Lesson 1—Always be there for your child

I can’t tell you the last time my p arents missed a big event in my life; it never happened. Whether it was a play, or even just a practice---my parents were always there for me. As an only child, they cherished everything in my life.

Lesson2—Hide in the bathroom

For years I wondered why my mother had made the bathroom her own personal library and would stay there forever. Now I know it’s the only place for her to have at least two minutes of peace and quiet. Well, I try to, but that’s quite difficult with two cats, a dog, a kid, a husban d and only one bathroom.

Lesson3—Get involved (参与)

I was lucky in having parents who let me do anything they think was good. Now today, I am fond of being active and involved. Whether it is a sports game or a volunteering group, or just playing with my daughter, I love to be involved.

Lesson4—It’s OK to fail

My parents weren’t perfect and that was OK. I know I’m not perfect and I hope my daughter knows that’s OK. Families love one another no matter what happens. If you fail, you learn from the mistakes and keep right on going.

I believe listening is powerful medicine.

It was Sunday. I had the last p 1 to see and I got into her room.

She was an old woman, sitting on the bed, trying to put on her socks. I said

something like, “How are you feeling? The nurse says your son is visiting

yo u today. I’ll bet (打赌) you’ll be h 2 to see him.”

She stopped me with a serious voice, “Sit down, doctor. This is my story, not yours.” I was very s 3 . I sat down and helped her with the socks (短袜). She began to tell me that her only son lived not far from her, but she had not seen him for five years. She believed her health

problems were worse because of m 4 her son. After hearing her story and helping her put on her socks, I asked if there was anything I could do for her. She said “no” and smiled. All she wanted me to do was to listen.

Each story is different. Some are clear, others are not. Some are true, others are not, y 5 all those things do not really matter. What matters to the storyteller is that the story is heard. Listening to someone’s story doesn’t c 6 anything but it is the key to healing (康复). I often think of what the woman taught me, and I always tell m 7 the importance of stopping, sitting down and truly listening. I believe in the power of listening.

D. Answer the questions（根据以下内容回答问题)（共12分）

One day on my way home from work, while looking out of the window of my car, I saw several blue flowers on the side of the highway. As a lady, I couldn’t move my

eyes from them. What beautiful flowers! But they seemed to be a bit lonely as

there were no other flowers around. An idea came to me —I should bring

them home so that I could take care of them. Those flowers would grow better,

I thought.

The next day I took a shovel (铲子) and planned to dig them. However, I returned from work very late that day. So the digging was put off until the next week. But different excuses stopped me every time I drove near the flowers.

Until one morning, I was disappointed to see that the highway had been rebuilt and the pretty blue flowers were gone. I realized I had waited too long and missed the chance.

A week ago, I learned one of my friends had cancer (癌). This bad news deeply saddened me. Although we d on’t live very far away from each other, we haven’t seen each other as often as we both would have wanted. I have always thought there is enough time for us to meet. But now, we have little time.

Suddenly, I see the message the blue flowers and my friend bring to me. God has given us some time to plant some wonderful memories that will flower every year for us. But we should catch the chance as time waits for no man.

2. Why did the author want to bring the flowers home?

___________________________________________________________________.

____________________________________________________________________.

6. What do you think the message is? Explain in at least two sentences.

____________________________________________________________________.
