6.Last summer,after 16 years in the United States,I traveled to the city in Russia where I grew up.I was the first in my family to return after all those years.My mom gave me a hand-drawn map showing the location of my grandfather's tomb at the local cemetery,and she asked me to visit it.
It was really important to her that I go there.My grandfather died when I was little,and she wanted me to remember him.He was still very much alive in her mind,and she wanted him to continue to live in my mind as well.
So I promised that the first thing I'd do when I arrived would be to visit the cemetery.However,I got caught up in work,and I had a lot of catching up to do with my childhood friends.It wasn't until a day before I was leaving that I found time to go to the cemetery.
It was late in the afternoon,and right by the entrance was a lady who was selling flowers.By then she had only seven carnations left in her bucket.I bought them all,but when I reached for my wallet,I realized I didn't have the map with me.I had no idea what had happened to that map.And I had no idea where my grandfather's tomb was located.
I could call my mom and ask her.But the problem was that I had already told her I'd gone to the cemetery.What was I going to say?
I found the main office.Fortunately it was open,and inside was a small office.Behind the counter was an old woman,and she said she'd help me locate my grandfather's records.
A couple of minutes later,she came back with a printout.It turned out there were 17Abraham Pikarskis on the list.I chose the two whose age I believed closely matched my grandfather's.
I set off to look for them.I hoped that at least one would have a portrait on the tombstone.This way I'd know which tomb was mine.
I found the first tomb and it said Abraham Pikarski on it,but there was no portrait.Only an inscription (碑铭):From the Loving Wife and Children.
I had no idea whether this was the right one,so I went off to look for the other one.I found it,too,and it was virtually indistinguishable from the first one.It said Abraham Pikarski,no portrait.The inscription was slightly different.It said:From the Grieving Family.
I had no idea what to do.Was my family the loving one or the grieving one?I was standing there waiting,thinking maybe some sort of special feeling would come to me.Maybe I'd feel some sort of close relationship with the person who was lying there.
I put three carnations on that tomb,and I went back to the first one.I stood there,too,for a while,and again I was hoping that I'd feel something special.But it was getting late,and I had to pack for the trip back to New York,so I put three carnations on this tomb.
I stood there with the last flower in my hand.Which Abraham Pikarski should it go to?Should I just throw it away?I had to come up with some sort of a solution.
Then,suddenly,I knew what to do.I put that flower on that same tomb where I was standing.I thought if this is really my grandfather who is lying there,then all is good,and he got the most.But if not,then let this be kind of comfort to the stranger,because somebody else's grandson came all the way from America to pay his respects.
I went back to the hotel and flew home to New York the next day.I never found that map again.
Mom and Dad picked me up at the airport.On the way home from the airport,my mom started crying,"I'm so happy that you took the time to visit your grandfather's tomb.It really means so much to me.You know when you called and told me you went there,I thought you were just saying it to make me feel good."
When I was still in the air this morning,her cousin who lives in Russia had called and told my mother that she had just come from the cemetery and had seen my flowers there.So my mom knew that I had really done this.
Should I ask her how many flowers her cousin saw?Three or four?
But then I decided that maybe I should not say anything at all.

13.My friend,Peg,and I were seeking evidence that there were people who were treating our soil,our waters,our air with the love and respect they deserved.And we found it.
One day we saw a busload of school children on an outing.The bus had stopped at a hamburger stand where we were having a rest,and half-a-hundred children poured out.Busloads of children,of course,were not new,and I hardly gave them more than a glance until I realized what they were doing.Chatting and laughing,the children were picking up as much waste as they could carry from around the stand and its parking area.They took the waste to their bus,where several bags had been brought out for the waste.
Within five minutes,before our astonished eyes,that parking lot had been picked c lean.Impressed,I walked over to their teacher."I'm interested,"I began."In fact,I'm surprised at how those kids worked this place over.Is this some kind of environment protection class?"
"You'd never guess it,"he said,"but we're a history class."
"A history class?"
"That's right.We're on our way from Boston to visit Fort(城堡) Ticonderoga.Before the trip,one of the things we tried to find out was how the Ticonderoga countryside looked back in old days,"he said."In fact,we made a little table display of the scene,using toy buildings and toy trees.When one kid jokingly suggested we ought to put a few bottles and cans around to make it look real,the others blamed him.But the boy argued that he bet Ticonderoga would look like that today.Besides,if they thought it was so funny,were they prepared to clean it up if he was right?The class decided,however,that the entire fort might be too big a task to do.But they agreed to clean up any roadside area where they stopped on their way to the fort.And so that's what they did!"
41.How did the author feel when he understood what the kids were doing?A
A.Amazed.
B.Bored.
C.Disappointed.
D.Unconcerned.
42.Why were the students going to Fort Ticonderoga?A
