24、Every year on my birthday since I was 11, a white gardenia(栀子花)was sent to my house. No card ever came with it. Calls to the flower shop were not helpful at all. After some time I stopped trying to find out the sender’s name and was just pleased with the beautiful white flower, in soft pink paper.

I couldn’t stop imagining(想像)who the giver might be, though. Some of my happiest moments were spent day dreaming about the sender. My mother encouraged these daydreams. She, d ask me if I had been especially kind to someone. Perhaps it was one of my classmates. Perhaps it was the old man. He lived across from the street. I’d sent him his mail during the winter. As a girl, though, I had more fun imagining that it might be a boy that I had met.

A month before my high school graduation(毕业), my father died. I was so sad that I became uninterested in my upcoming graduation dance, and I didn’t care whether I had a new dress or not. My mother, in her won sadness, however, would not let me miss any of those things. She wanted her children to feel loved. In fact, my mother wanted her children to see themselves much like the gardenia: lovely, strong and perfect, with perhaps a bit of mystery(神秘).

25、   It was on the afternoon of the day of Christmas Eve, and I was in Mrs. Prothero’s garden, waiting for cats, with her son Jim. It was snowing. Patient and cold, our hands wrapped in socks, we waited to snowball the cats. The wise cats never appeared. We were so still in the snow that we never heard Mrs. Prothero’s first cry from the bottom of the garden. Or, if we heard it at all, it was, to us, like the cry of the neighbor’s Polar cat. But soon the voice grew louder. “Fire!” cried Mrs. Prothero.

And we ran down the garden, with the snowballs in our arms, towards the house; and smoke, indeed, was pouring out of the dining room.

This was better than all the cats in Wales standing on the wall in a row. We loaded with snowballs, stopped at the open door of the smoke-filled room. Something was burning all right; perhaps it was Mr. Prothero, who always slept there after midday dinner with a newspaper over his face; but he was standing in the middle of the room, saying, “A fine Christmas!”

There was no fire to be seen, only clouds of smoke and Mr. Prothero standing in the middle of them, waving his slipper as though he were conducting.

“Do something,” he said.

And we three all our snowballs into the smoke—I think we missed Mr. Porthero—and ran out of the house.

“Let’s call the police,” Jim said.

“And Emie Jenkins, he likes fires.” But we only called the fire-brigade, and soon the fire-engine came. Mr. Porthero went out just in time before they turned the hose (水管) on.

【1】Why were the boys in Mrs. Prothero’s garden?

A.They were about to start a snowball fight.

B.They were waiting to see if there would be any fires this year.

C.They were waiting to hear Mrs. Porthero’s first cry.

26、

There are many kinds of animals in this world and some of them are our friends. But can animals be made to work for us?
