         I fell in love with the minister's son the winter I turned fourteen. He was not Chinese. For Christmas I
    prayed for the boy, Robert. When I found out that my parents had invited the minister's family over for
    Christmas Eve dinner, I cried in panic. What would Robert think of our shabby Chinese Christmas? What would he think of our noisy Chinese relatives who lacked proper American manners?
         On Christmas Eve, my mother created abundant Chinese food. And then they arrived-the minister's
    family and all my relatives. Robert greeted hello, and I pretended he was not worthy of existence.
         Dinner threw me deeper into disappointment. My relatives licked (舔) the ends of their chopsticks and reached across the table. Robert and his family waited patiently for a large plate to be passed to them. My relatives murmured with pleasure when my mother brought out the whole steamed fish. Robert made a
    face. Then my father reached his chopsticks just below the fish eye and picked out the soft meat. "Amy,
    your favorite," he said, offering me the tender fish cheek. I wanted to disappear.
          At the end of the meal, my father leaned back and burped (打嗝) loudly, thanking my mother for her
    fine cooking. "It's a polite Chinese custom to show you are satisfied," explained my father to our astonished guests. Robert was looking down at his plate with a reddish face. The minister managed to bring up a quiet burp. I was shocked into silence for the rest of the night.
          After everyone had gone, my mother said to me, "You want to be the same as American girls on the
    outside." She handed me an early gift. It was a miniskirt. "But inside you must always be Chinese. You
    must be proud that you are different. Your only shame is to have shame."
          It was not until years later that I was able to fully appreciate her lesson and the purpose behind her
    particular menu. For Christmas Eve that year, she had chosen excellent Chinese food.
    1. When the writer found out the minister's family would come for Christmas Eve dinner, she cried mainly
    because ________.
    A. she worried about their shabby Chinese Christmas
    B. she worried about their Chinese relatives lacking American manners
    C. she worried about meeting the minister's family
    D. she worried about being laughed at
    2. What does "he was not worthy of existence" probably mean? It means ________.
    A. the writer was not interested in his existence
    B. he was worthless
    C. he should not exist
    D. the writer expected his coming
    3. The dinner threw the writer deeper into disappointment mainly because ________.   
    A. her relatives licked the ends of their chopsticks
    B. her father reached his chopsticks to pick fish for her
    C. her father leaned back and burped loudly
    D. she childishly expected all of them to act in the same way as Americans did at table
    4. We can infer from the passage that ________. 
    A. the writer appreciated her mother's lesson years later
    B. the writer must be proud that she is different
    C. the mother prepared to show Chinese different food culture
    D. the minister's family really enjoyed the food

    　　Tom Dyson tried to find out what his new machine could do. One day he fixed the small box to a flowering plant that was growing in a pot. He didn't say anything at all, but he began to think some cruel thoughts.

    　　“I'm going to cut off these flowers. They're getting old and ugly. So I'll cut them off…”

    　　The needle on the machine climbed quickly from  zero to 8, then 10, 12, 15. It stopped at 17. The plant was in trouble! Something was worrying it. Was it fear or sadness? The thought of being cut? The flowers bent their heads. They suddenly looked old and tired, and Tom felt sorry for them.

    　　“No, no!” he cried.“I won't cut you. You're my friends. I just want you to grow and be lovely. I'll take you outside, into the sunshine. You'll like that, won't you?”

    　　The flowers lifted their heads slowly and seemed to smile at him. The needle returned to zero. Tom put away the machine, picked up the plant and walked outside. It was very nice in the garden that morning.

    　　All plants enjoy their owner's love and care and kindness. They know the sound of their voice. They also seem to understand people's thoughts.

       “Can I see my baby?” asked the happy new mother. The bundle (婴儿包) was placed in her arms and when she moved the fold of cloth to look upon his tiny face, she gasped--the baby had been born without ears. Time, however, proved that the baby’s hearing was perfect except his appearance．

    One day when he rushed home from school and threw himself into his mother’s arms, he cried out bitterly，“A boy, a big boy…called me－a f... freak.” She sighed, knowing that his life was to be endless of heartbreaks．

    He grew up，handsome for his misfortune．A favorite with his fellow students, he might have been class president, but for that．He developed a gift for literature and music．

    The boy’s father had a talk with the family doctor．Could nothing be done? “I believe we could graft (移植) on a pair of outer ears，if they could be donated (捐献) ,” the doctor decided．So the search began for a person who would make such a sacrifice (牺牲) for a young man．Two years went by．Then, “You’re going to the hospital，son．Mother and I have someone who will donate the ears you need．But it’s a secret.” said the father．

            The operation was a brilliant success．His talents blossomed into genius．School and college became a series of successes．Later he married and entered the diplomatic (外交) service．“But I must know!” he urged his father．“Who gave so much for me? I could never do enough for him.”

    “I do not believe you could,” said the father，“but the agreement was that you are not to know…not yet.” The years kept the secret, but the day did come...one of the darkest days that ever passed through a son．He stood with his father over his mother’s casket(棺材)．Slowly and tenderly，the father stretched forth a hand and raised the thick，reddish-brown hair to let out the secret．
