| Every year on my birthday, from the time I turned 12, a white gardenia (栀子花) was sent to my house. It did not come with a card or note of any kind, but I loved the beauty and sweet smell of the flower. And I never stopped imaging who the giver might be. My mother helped me to imagine. She'd ask me if I had done something kind for anyone. Perhaps the neighbor I'd helped carry heavy bags for, or one of my classmates who I helped the lessons with. As a teenager, though, I had more fun thinking that it might be a boy I liked at school. When I was 17, a boy broke my heart and I cried myself to sleep. When I woke up in the morning, there was a message on my mirror, "If we let sadness go, happiness will surely come to you." I thought about those words for a long time. When I finally went to get the glass cleaner, my mother knew everything was all right again. One month before I finished high school, my father left us forever. I lost interest in all the celebrating activities such as the class play, taking photos with classmates before leaving the high school where I had studied for three years. Although my mother was very sad, she still encouraged me to take part in all those. She wanted her child to have a sense that there was still beauty in the face of bad luck, just like the gardenia-lovely, strong and perfect. My mother died 10 days after I was married. I was 26. That was the year gardenias stopped coming. |
| 1. From the age of ________, the writer began to receive a gardenia every year on her birthday. |

| A. Mother was clever. B. I was still sad. C. The glass was dirty. D. Mother really understood me. |
| 3. The writer lost interest in activities before leaving high school because ________. |
| A. no flowers were sent to her B. a boy broke her hear C. her father died D. there was no beauty in her life |
| 4. In fact it was ________ who sent the flowers. |
| A. the writer's father B. the writer's mother C. a boy classmate D. one of the neighbors |

| How can you buy a meal for lunch without any money in your pocket? Students in Class 9, Grade 8 at Mountain and Lake Middle School in Chengdu,Sichuan,have their ways.

Experiencing Life for Seven Hours,on March 18, "I found students waste their food in the dining-hall," the class teacher, Deng Guiyong said, "So I held this activity to help them understand how hard it is to make money." Jiang Yao, 15, and his group members stood in the streets giving out flyers for about two hours and got the money for their lunch. Then they worked as waiters in a pizza restaurant-cleaning the floor；and toilets and getting food for guests,"We were busy all along, so we were terribly exhausted after the day's hard work.

| We are all asked to make a speech at some point in life, but most of us don't do a very good job. This article gives us some suggestions on how to make an excellent speech. Usually people are often afraid of making a speech in public. You get nervous, you forget what you want to say, you talk too long, and you get your audience bored. Later you think, "Thank Goodness! It's over. I'm just not good at public speaking. I hope I will never have to do that again." Cheer up! It doesn't have to be that hard. Here are some simple steps to make preparations. Firstly, ask yourself the purpose of your speech. Why are you speaking? Secondly, collect as many facts as you can on your subject. Thirdly, spend enough time organizing your material so that your speech is clear and easy to follow. Use as many examples as possible, and use pictures, charts and graphs (图表) if they help make your points clearer. Lastly, never forget your audience. Treat your audience with respect. They will be thankful. Just remember! Be prepared. Know your subject and your audience. Be brief. Say what you have to say and then stop. And see yourself. Let your personality (个性) come through so that you make person to person contact (联系) with your audience. If you follow these simple steps, you will see that you don't have to be afraid of speaking in public. In fact, you may find the experience so enjoyable that you volunteer to make more speeches!
