I took the checks to Merrill Lynch, where the money was provided for me. I 31  __working at the restaurant, making  32 for the restaurant I would open. My plans soured(被破灭), though, and I lost the  33 .

  He also loved the 3rd wife very much. He’s very proud of her and always wanted to  38  his 3rd wife to his friends.

  He too, loved his 2nd wife. 39  the merchant faced some 40  , he always turned to his 2nd wife and she would always help him out.

  Now, the merchant’s first wife had made great  41  to his business. However, the merchant did not love her and although she loved him deeply, he hardly took notice of her.

  One day, the merchant fell ill. He knew that he was going to die  42  . He told himself, “ Now I have 4 wives with me. 43  when I die, I’ll be alone. How  44  I’ll be!”

  Thus, he asked the 4th wife, “ I  45 you most. Now that I’m dying will you 46  me and keep me company?” “No way!” replied the 4th wife and she walked away without another word.

  The  47  merchant then asked the 3rd wife, “ I have loved you so much for all my life. Will you follow me and keep me company?” “ 48  !” replied the 3rd wife. “ Life is so good over here! I’m going to 49  when you die!”

All over my garden I’ve planted nothing but roses, sweet and — if looked at far away — bright with color like sunset clouds, I’d be very happy if anyone of my visiting friends should desire to pick and take some for their homes. I trust that any friend of mine carrying the rose would disappear into the distance feeling that his emotions had been rekindled (重燃).

A close friend came for a visit the other day. I know her to be a lover of flowers and plants. And for that reason I told her at her departure that she should pick a bunch of roses to grace her bedroom. I promised that the smell of the roses would be wafted far, far away.

That girl friend of mine, tiptoeing into the garden in high spirits, smelt here and there, but in the end she didn’t pick a single rose. I said there were so many of them that she would pick as many as she’d like to; I told her that I was not a flower farmer and didn’t make a living out of them. Saying so I raised the scissors for the sacrifice of the flowers, but she stopped me, crying no, no, no!

To cut such beautiful roses would hurt one, she said. With her hands seizing at my sleeves, she told me that by no means should they be cut. Roses are the smiling face of the earth, and who could be so iron-hearted as to destroy a smile so charming?

My mind was thoroughly shocked: the ugly earth, the rough earth, the plain earth—it is for the reason of that smile that it wins the care and pity of people

1. The underlined word “wafted” in Paragraph 2 is closest in meaning to “__________”.

A. moved                    B. lost                      C. destroyed             D. felt

2.    The writer plants nothing but roses in her garden probably because __________.

A. she can make money out of them

B. her friends like them

C. she enjoys the roses very much

D. the roses can rekindle her friends’ emotions

3.Why did the writer’s close friend refuse to pick a single rose?

A. Because the roses were not beautiful

B. Because she did not like this kind of roses

C. Because the writer did not want to give her any

D. Because she loved the roses very much

4.What would be the best title for the passage?

A. A lovely rose garden.                                B. The smiling face of the earth

C. The pity of people to the roses.                  D. A lover of flowers

My grandmother became a widow in 1970. Shortly after that, we went to the  21  shelter to pick out a dog to keep her  22  . Grandma decided on a little dog with a reddish-brown spot above each eye.  23  these spots, the dog was named Penny.

Grandma and Penny quickly became very  24  to each other, but that attachment grew much stronger about three years later  25  Grandma had a stroke(中风). Grandma could no longer  26  , so when she came home from the hospital, she and Penny were  27  companions.

After her stroke, it became a real  28  for Grandma to let Penny in and out because  29  was at the bottom of a flight of stairs. So a mechanism(机械装置)using a rope and pulley(滑轮)was   30  from the door to a handle at the top of the stairs. Grandma just had to pull the handle to open and close the door. If the store was   31  Penny’s favorite dog food, Grandma would make one of us  32  Penny browned beef with potatoes in it. I can remember   33  my grandmother by saying that she loved that dog better than she loved her family.

As the years passed, it was not  34  for Grandma and Penny to separate each other. If Grandma went to take her nap(打盹), Penny stayed by her side until she  35  . As Penny aged, she could no longer jump up on the bed, so she   36  on the rug (垫子)beside the bed. If Grandma went into the   37  , Penny would walk along beside her, wait outside the door and accompany her   38  to the bed or chair. Grandma never went anywhere without her   39  companion by her side.

The time came when both my grandmother’s and Penny’s   40  were failing fast. After fifteen years of loving companionship, Grandma and Penny passed away within a few hours of each other.
