No one tells us that the greatest moments of a lifetime are short, unplanned and nearly always catch us off guard.Not long ago，as I was reading a bedtime story to my seven-year-old daughter, Annie，I became aware of her focused look. She was staring at me with a faraway, blank expression. Apparently, completing The Tale of Samuel Whiskers was not as important as we first thought.I asked what she was thinking about. “Mommy,” she whispered, “I just can't stop looking at your prett y face.”I almost dissolved(溶解) on the spot. Little did she know how many trying moments the glow of her sincerely loving statement would carry me through over the following years.Not long after, I took my four-year-old son to an elegant department store, where the sweet notes of a classic love song drew us toward a tuxedoed(穿晚礼服的) musician playing a grand piano. Sam and I sat down on a marble bench nearby, and he seemed as astonished by the pleasant theme as I was. I didn’t realize that Sam had stood up n ext to me until he turned, took my face in his little hands and said, “Dance with me.”If only those women walking under the Paris moon knew the joy of such an invitation made by a round-cheeked boy with baby teeth. Although shoppers openly chuckled(咯咯笑) and pointed at us as we glided and whirled(旋转) around the open space, I would not have traded a dance with such a charming young gentleman if I'd been offered the universe.28.

Because she thought she was the happiest one at the moment.D. Because it was very important for the author to dance with her son.31. What does the author want to prove by showing two examples of her kids?A. Her kids love her very much.B. She enjoys staying with her kids.C. The greatest moments of a lifetime always come unexpectedly.D. Those women walking under the moon should enjoy the happiness with kids.DChinese police are joining Italian officers on the streets of Rome and Milan in an experiment aimed at helping tourists from China feel safe, Italy’s interior ministry has announced.The experiment is the first of its kind in Europe, China’s ambassador to Italy, Li Ruiyu, said at a meeting to announce the project, according to a statement from the Italian ministry.The four Chinese officers, who were trained by Italians in Beijing, will wear the same uniforms they wear at home so their compatriots can recognize them easily.More than 3 million Chinese tourists come to Italy every year, according to Liao Jinrong, the director general of the Chinese international co-operation bureau.“This service was planned with Chinese tourists in mind and, if it works well, we may consider other forms of collaboration, given the presence of the Chinese community in our country,” said the interior minister, Angelino Alfano.The officers will share information with Italian police and help Chinese tourists if they need to contact local authorities and diplomats from Monday until 13 May, the ministry said.Liao, the head of the Chinese international co-operation bureau, said the officers’ assignment was a “historic moment” recalling that the route between China and Italy was mapped 700 years ago by Venetian merchant traveler Marco Polo.32.
