D
I wrote to the White House asking about a birthday greeting for my grandfather who will be 95 next year. I received a card signed by Bill and Hillary. They look like real signatures（签名）and are not printed and they are probably produced by autographing（亲笔签名）machines. That says:
Happy Birthday!
Hillary and I are delighted to join your friends and family in congratulating you on this special day. As you look forward to the year ahead, please accept our best wishes for good health and much future happiness.
This was sent in a double envelope so that I could address the inner one to my grandfather and send the sealed（盖章） card to him. The card has the presidential seal printed in gold. The outer envelop is hand addressed.
NOTE: the postage meter impression on the outer envelope reminded me that the president does not have franking privileges.（邮资特权）
The outer envelope does have a little "B" written on the upper right corner indication that they have a pile of these pre-signed and double-enveloped; when a request comes in, they just write the address on the outer envelope and mail it.
The return address on both envelopes is simple: The White House, Washington.
73．When did the writer write to the White House?
A．On his grandfather’s birthday.
B．On his birthday.
C．When his grandfather was 94 years.
D．When his grandfather was 95 years old.
74．It’s clear that the card sent by Bill and Hillary was .
A．signed by an autographing machine
B．the one that had real signatures of Bill and Hillary
C．the one whose signatures were printed
D．the one that was signed with their own names
75．Form what the card says, we can find it .
A．was a public letter for those who were in need of greeting
B．can be sent to all those who write to them both
C．was sent specially to the writer’s grandfather
D．can be sent to anyone whose birthday is coming near
76．The letter “B” on the upper right corner of the outer envelope means .
A．these are all double envelope having cards with pre-signatures inside them
B．these are all letters which have franking privileges
C．they have written the address on the outer envelopes
D．they have written “The White House, Washington” on both envelopes

I’ve loved my mother’s desk since I was just tall enough to see above the top of it as mother sat doing letters. Standing by her chair, looking at the ink bottle, pens and white paper, I decided that the act of writing must be the most wonderful thing in the world.
Years later, during her final illness, mother kept different things for my sister and brother. “But the desk,” she said again, “is for Elizabeth.”
I never saw her angry, never saw her cry. I knew she loved me; she showed it in action. But as a young girl, I wanted heart-to-heart talks between mother and daughter.
They never happened. And a gulf opened between us. I was “too emotional (易动感情的)”. But she lived “on the surface”.
As years passed and I had my own family. I loved my mother and thanked her for our happy family. I wrote to her in careful words and asked her to let me know in any way she chose that she did forgive me.
I posted the letter and waited for her answer, none came.
My hope turned to disappointment, then little interest and, finally, peace it seemed that nothing happened. I couldn’t be sure that the letter had even got to Mother. I only knew that I had written it, and I could stop trying to make her into someone she was not.
Now the present of her desk told me, as she’d never been able to, that she was pleased that writing was my chosen work. I cleaned the desk carefully and found some papers inside — a photo of my father and a one-page letter, folded (折叠) and refolded many times.
Give me an answer, my letter asks, in any way you choose, Mother, you always chose the act that speaks louder than words.
【小题1】The writer began to love her mother’s desk _______.

| B．Mother cared much about her daughter in words |
| C．Mother wrote to her daughter in careful words. |
| D．Mother was cold on the surface but kind in her heart to her daughter |
| A．deep understanding between the old and the young. |
| B．different ideas between the mother and the daughter. |
| C．free talks between mother and daughter. |
| D．part of the sea going far in land. |
| A．She had never received the letter. |
