21、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 would say again, "it's for Elizabeth. "
I never saw her be angry, and 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(表面) ".
As years passed T 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(原谅)me.
I posted the letter and waited for her answer. None came.
My hope turned to disappointment(失望),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, 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.

A. fter mother died
B. efore she became a writer
C. hen she was a child

B. mother was too serious about everything her' daughter had done

【3】The word "gulf" in the passage means .
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
【4】What did mother do with her daughters letter asking forgiveness?
A. She had never received the letter.
B. For years, she often talked about the letter.
C. She didn't forgive her daughter at all in all her life.
D. She read the letter again and again till she died.

24、 All big cities are quite similar. Living in a modern Asian city is not very different from living in an American city. But it is different from living on farms however.
In many parts of the world, farmers and their families live in villages or towns. In the United States, however, each family lives on its own fields and often can't see any neighbor. Instead of traveling from a village to the fields every morning. American farmers stay on their land all the week. They travel to the nearest town on Saturdays for shopping or on Sundays for church. The children ride on horses to large schools which serve all of the farm families living in the area. In some areas there are some small schools serving a few families and the children walk to school.
Of course, life keeps changing for everyone including farmers. Today there are cars, good roads, radios and TV sets. And of course, there are modern machines for faming now. All these have greatly changed farmers’ life.
Before, farming in America was often a lonely way of living for a long time. Farmers had to deal with their own problems, instead of getting help from others. They learned to try new ways, and thought of their own ideas instead of following old ways.
【1】Where do the farmers live in the United States?
