Many people think that romance will disappear little by little as couples grow older, but a heartbreaking video of an elderly man singing to his dying wife shows that for some, love lasts a life time.
The video was uploaded to Facebook by the pair's granddaughter Erin Solari. In the video 92-year-old Howard is singing to his dying wife, 93-year-old Laura, with the 1940s love song "You'll Never Know".
"I love you.., always love," Laura, who is seriously ill, tells her husband in the video--before asking him to "take good care of yourself" when she's gone.
Howard then continues to sing to his wife: "You' 11 never know just how much I miss you. You'll never know just how much I care. You'll never know just how much I love you." "Isn't your grandfather lovely?" Laura says to her granddaughter, who is filming the moving moment on her phone in the hospital room.
Erin originally posted the video to her Facebook page on September 12, 2015, and it has since earned more than 3.6 million views. On her Facebook, Erin wrote down details of her grandparents' inspiring relationship. She said Howard chose to sing "You' 11 Never Know" to his wife because "the song comforted her when he went away to fight in World War II." "Their love story has moved hundreds of thousands of people throughout the world," said Erin.
1. Where did Erin Solari record the video?
A. In Laura' s house.
B. At her home.
C. At the hospital
D. On the way to the hospital.
2.Why did Howard sing "You' 11 Never Know" when Laura was dying?

根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项,选项中两项为多余选项。
Holiday gift buying can feel a little empty, when all of those endless lists, long lines at the shopping center and dollars spent lead to a 5-minute excitement of flying wrapping paper. 1. The following tips can help make gift giving more meaningful for both the giver and the receiver.
1. Know the person
The most important thing in the exchanging of gifts is that it shows that you really know the person well, and you really care about him. 2.
2. Donate in their name
3. Research suggests that happier people give more to others, and that giving more makes people happier. Moreover, charity-related happiness is highest when people give in a way that promotes social connection. So, try giving to the less fortunate in someone's name this holiday season.
3. Give handmade goods or hand-me-downs
4. A study suggests that people feel that homemade items show more love, and love is what they want to express to the gift receiver.
Family heirlooms(传家宝) may be another good gift option. A 2009 study found that when families hand down even a very depersonalized thing — money — to the generations, the symbolic value of the cash is greater than the numerical value alone.
4. Provide chances for participation
If there's a golden rule of gifts, though, it's this: 5. People who receive experiential gifts, such as concert tickets or a zoo membership, feel more connected to the gift giver than people who received material gifts.
A. Give experiences rather than objects.
B. But it doesn't have to be that way.
C. Giving gifts to friends or to charity is linked to happiness.
D. That is always beyond their expectation.
E. That means catering to another’s pleasure.
F. Start listing every person you plan to give a holiday gift to.
G. The new and store-bought is not always best.

阅读理解。
Every country has its heroes.The heroes are the people the nation and especially the young people admire.If you get a list of the heroes of a nation,it will tell you the potential(潜力) of that nation.
Today in America,if you ask the high school students to list their heroes,their choices would probably fall into three groups.The first group of heroes would be the rock stars—the people connected with rock music.There is no doubt that such people do have talent(才能).But one wonders if one should treat rock stars as a model.The rock stars too often are mixed with drugs and their personal life is not all that good.The rock stars are rich and wear the latest fashion styles.However,one should seek more in a hero than such things as money and good clothes.
A second type of hero for the American youth is the sports star.Again you have a person who has a great ability in one area—sports.However,too often the personal life of the sports star is a bit of disorder.Too frequently drugs and drinking are a part of life of the sports star.
A third type of hero is the TV or movie star.This person may have lots of acting talent and is quite handsome.However,the personal life of too many actors is quite sad and they should not be held up as a model of young people.Today,the rock star,the athlete and the actor all have become the models of the youth in America.Really,do you hear a young person say that his hero is a doctor,a teacher or a scientist?These people are not rich and do not wear fashionable clothes.However,they are talented people who work hard to make the world a better place for everyone.
What is really sad is that the young try to imitate(模仿) their heroes.They like to wear the same clothes and follow their styles.If the heroes of today for the American young people are limited only to rock stars,athletes and actors,the future does not look too bright.
1.The last sentence of the first paragraph implies that .
A.if a nation has a lot of heroes,it will be strong
B.heroes of a nation will make the nation itself
