【小题1】Tom came to the station to _______.

      She is a cute, quite girl. As a daughter, she has no secret from her mother, who is very pleased with her. But these days she has become not so open as before. She has a diary that she keeps under lock and key. Her mother cannot help worrying about her: what if she falls in love, which is too early of her age? After all she is reaching the "dangerous time". These thoughts have caused trouble in her mother's mind.

      One weekend the girl came to tell her mother that she was going to the cinema with her schoolmate and would return late. This was the first time her mother agreed, and she couldn't help worrying because her daughter had never been away at night before. The mother waited till nine. She decided to go out to meet her daughter. Just at that time the noise of a car pulling up drew her to the window and--there was her daughter, waving goodbye to a boy. Her heart missed a beat. When the girl came in, the mother was watching TV, just like nothing had happened. "Mum, I 'm back." "Yeah." "Sorry to be late. Still sitting up?  Yes. Oh, That... Who's that boy?" The daughter was stunned (发愣) for some time. "Ah. It's my monitor. He gave me a lift on his way home. Mum, I'm going to bed." "All right. Go to sleep early."

     Next morning when the mother went to the daughter's room to do some cleaning, she found her diary left on the bed.
