After I finished college, I couldn't find a job in Los Angeles. At last I had to move to Las Vegas but left my family behind. I missed them all week, and I went home on most weekends to see them. I often rented a car because I would often have lots of problems on the way to Los Angeles or to Las Vegas if I drove my poor car.

One time I decided to save money, and I drove my car. It got to California, but on the way back to Vegas it was broken. I didn’t know what I should do. Then a middle-aged man drove up. He put in some coolant and repaired my car. He made it start soon.

I gave him the $12 in my wallet, and he said he would use it for the next car. Then I knew that he was a mechanic who drove up and down the highway each weekend to help the drivers in trouble.

Now fifteen years has passed, but I still think about what a great man he is.

1.The writer stayed in on weekdays.

A.Los Angeles B.Las Vegas C.California D.New York

2.Why did the writer often rent a car to go home?

One early morning, I went into the living room to find my mother reading a thick book called Best Loved Poems to Read Again and Again. My interest was aroused only by the fact that the word “Poems” appeared in big, hot pink letters.

“Is it good?” I asked her.

“Yeah,” she answered. I leaned forward.

“Patty Poem,’” she read the title. Who is Patty? I wondered. The poem began:

She never puts her toys away,

Just leaves them scattered where they lay …

The poem was just three short sections. The final one came quickly:

When she grows and gathers poise,

I’ll miss her harum-scarum noise,

And look in vain for scattered toys

And I’ll be sad

A terrible sorrow (痛苦) washed over me. Whoever Patty was, she was a mean girl. Then, the shock. “It’s you, honey,” My mother said sadly.

To my mother, the poem revealed a parent’s feeling when her child grows up and leaves. To me, the “she” in the poem was horror. It was my mama who would be sad. It was so terrible I burst (突然) out crying.

“What’s wrong?” my mother asked.

“Oh, Mama,” I cried. “I don’t want to grow up ever!”

She smiled. “Honey, it’s okay. You’re not growing up anytime soon. And when you do, I’ll still love you, okay?”

“Okay,” I was still weeping (流泪). My scare has gone. But I could not help thinking about that silly poem. After what seemed like a safe amount of time, I read the poem again and was confused. It all fit so well together, like a puzzle. The language was simple, so simple I could obviously understand its meaning, yet it was still beautiful. I was now fascinated (着迷) by the idea of poetry, words that had the power to make or break a person’s world.

I have since fallen in love with other poems, but “Patty Poem” remains my poem. After all, “Patty Poem” gave me my love for poetry not because it was the poem that lifted my spirits, but because it was the one that hurt me the most.

1.Why was the writer attracted by the book Best Loved Poems to Read Again and Again?

A.It was a thick enough book. B.Something on its cover caught her eye.

C.Her mother was reading it with interest. D.It has a meaningful title.

2.The writer’s mother liked to read “Patty Poem” because______.

A.it reflected her own childhood B.it was written in simple language

C.it was composed by a famous poet D.it gave her an idea of what would happen

3.It can be concluded from the passage that “Patty Poem” leads the writer to _______.

A.discover the power of poetry B.recognize her love for puzzles

C.find her eagerness to grow up D.experience great homesickness
