    The 92-year-old, thin, calm and proud lady, who is fully dressed each morning by eight o’clock, even though she is nearly blind, moved to a nursing home today.

    Her husband of 70 years recently passed away, making the move necessary. After many hours of waiting patiently in the hall of the nursing home, she smiled sweetly when told her room was ready.

    As she walked slowly to the elevator, I provided a true description of her tiny room, including the old sheets that had been hung on her window. “I love it,” she said with the happiness of an eight-year-old having just been presented with a new puppy.

    “Mrs. Jones, you haven’t seen the room…just wait.”

    “That doesn’t matter.” she replied. “Happiness is something you decide ahead of time. Whether I like my room or not doesn’t depend on how the furniture is arranged. It’s how I arranged my mind. I have already decided to love it. It’s a decision I make every morning when I wake up. Each day is a gift, and as long as my eyes open I’ll focus on the new day and all the happy memories I’ve stored away.” She went on to explain, “Old age is like a bank account. You take what you’ve put in. So, my advice to you would be to put in a lot of happiness in the bank account of memories. Thank you for your part in filling my memory bank.” And with a smile, she said, “All my memories are happy ones.”

    Mrs. Jones was always happy in the nursing home and she died at the age of 108.

    1.We can infer from the passage that the author________.

    A. is one of Mrs. Jones’ children

    B. is a relative of Mrs. Jones

    C. works in the nursing home

    D. is the owner of the nursing home

    2.Mrs. Jones was very happy when told about her room because she________.

    A. couldn’t see what her room was like

    B. thought the nursing home was her home

    C. had already made up her mind to be happy

    D. would have to live in the nursing home

    3.Which of the following words can best describe Mrs. Jones?

    A. Proud.

    B. Determined

    C. Pleasant.

    D. Honest

    “You will be in my heart forever. Without you, there are only emptiness and desert in my life...” This is a line from a heartfelt poem Feng Duan wrote to his fiancee Chen Lianfang in 1955.

    Feng is now 94 and Chen 90, and they have been married for more than half a century. Feng, an academic at the Chinese Academy of Sciences, may not be a professional poet but for 64 years, Feng has written countless love poems to his wife. On every important anniversary or festival, Feng would send a poem to Chen. In 1978, when Chen’s cancer surgery succeeded, Feng created more than ten poems to celebrate his wife’s recovery. Chen used a red suitcase to store these love poems. The academic has also translated many English, French and German poems into classical Chinese.

    The couple was introduced to each other by a common friend in 1953 and Feng sent two paper copies of poems to Chen as a gift.

    “As long as I think of you, a beam of sunshine lights up my heart,” Feng wrote.

    Chen recalled the first time Feng invited her to his dormitory to have a cup of tea and she thought the cup was made of frosted glass. As the two became closer, Chen often visited the academic’s dorm. She realized that the cup was the only one poor Feng owned. The opaque (不透明的) cup was not frosted glass but common glass stained with toothpaste.

    Later she bought many clothes and even a stove for Feng, making a nice change from the single man s life. Feng’s marriage to Chen brought more happiness and now Chen still looks after Feng’s daily needs.

    1.When Feng first met Chen, he was .

    A. 32 B. 30

    C. 28 D. 26

    2.What change did Chen bring to Feng?

    B. Chen changed Feng’s academic life greatly.

    C. Chen wrote a lot of poems to Feng.

    D. Chen introduced a lot of friends to Feng.

    3.What can we learn from the passage?

    A. Chen and Feng happened to meet each other on the campus.

    B. Feng wrote many poems in different languages.

    C. Chen cherished the poems Feng wrote to her.

    D. Feng liked his opaque cup so much.
