| My granddaughter, Shari, owns The Berry (莓果) Factory in Sacramento, California, and her mother, Joan, and I were helping with the Valentine's Day rush. We'd dipped (浸泡) hundreds of berries, arranged gift baskets and packaged orders to be shipped around the country. By the end of the day, the two middle-aged women, Joan and I, were exhausted. Shari didn't seem tired. That was typical Shari. Though she was very busy, I'd seen her give away berries to everybody -parking attendants, mail carriers and hairdressers."For me?" they would say, bursting into a smile. As a"thank you", Shari took us out for dinner. But there was a 45-minute wait at her favorite restaurant. "No big deal. There's another place just up the road," she said, driving us there. This time we walked right in. When the waitress came to take our drink orders, Shari reached into her handbag, pulling something out. "I want you to have these," she said, handing the waitress a box of chocolate-dipped strawberries."She will love those berries!" I thought. But the waitress seemed startled. She only let out a "thank you" before grabbing the box and rushing into the kitchen. A few minutes later, the waitress returned with our iced tea."I apologize," she said. "My best friend and I had promised to send each other something every Valentine's Day. But she passed away last year. I didn't know how I'd get through this day without her. Then you handed me that box.""I'm so sorry to hear that," said Shari. "It's not much, but I hope you can enjoy them." "Oh, I will," the waitress said."See, every year we always sent each other the same thing; a box of chocolate-dipped strawberries bought from our favourite store, The Berry Factory." |

| A lazy Susan is an addition to a table that is designed to assist in moving food from one person to another while dining. This is achieved through the use of a turntable (转盘), which usually moves the food in a circle when it is pushed by those at the table. In this way, the food never has to be picked up and passed around the table. Instead, it remains in place on the lazy Susan. A lazy Susan may also be a part of a kitchen cabinet (橱柜). In this sense, the lazy Susan is a type of shelving unit within the cabinet that is able to turn around its axis (轴心). One may turn the lazy Susan in order to find certain goods in storage. From the outside, a lazy Susan appears to be two cabinets that are located at a right angle (直角) to each another. When one of these cabinets is pushed, however, both doors move and the lazy Susan is revealed inside. It is believed that Thomas Jefferson invented the lazy Susan in the 18th century, though it was called "dumbwaiter" at that time. It is said that Jefferson invented the lazy Susan because his daughter complained she was always served last at table and, as a result, never found herself full when leaving the table. Others believe that Thomas Edison was the inventor, as he is believed to have invented the turntable for his phonograph (留声机). The turntable may have developed into the lazy Susan later. Regardless of who invented it, it wasn't until 1917 that the term"lazy Susan" was used in an advertisement for the invention. In Britain, however, the term"dumbwaiter" is still used rather than"lazy Susan". The reason for the naming of it is still a mystery. One theory is that it was named after either Jefferson's or Edison's daughter, both of whom were named Susan. |
| 1. What is a "lazy Susan"? |
| A. A waitress B. A convenient tool C. A table D. A cabinet |
| 2. According to those who believed Thomas Jefferson invented the lazy Susan, ______. |
| A. his daughter was very lazy B. the lazy Susan didn't exist until the 18th century C. Thomas Edison was his friend D. Thomas Edison didn't invent the phonograph |
| 3. We can learn from the last paragraph that _______. |
| A. the lazy Susan can work by itself B. the lazy Susan was named after Thomas Edison's daughter C. how the lazy Susan got its name remains unknown D. the lazy Susan was invented in Britain |
| 4. The writer wrote the passage mainly to _______. |
| A. discuss how the lazy Susan was named B. teach us how to make a lazy Susan C. introduce Thomas Edison's inventions D. tell us what a lazy Susan is and its origin |

| When young children are learning to ride a bicycle, they require that their parents hold on to the back of the bike so that they gain confidence and won't fall off. However, when children leave to go to college, or get married, parents must accept that their children are riding off into their own future. At this time, parents shouldn't stand back and with the children gone, they are left with an empty nest. How can parents get through this period of life? The first thing you should do is nothing at all. You should actually take some time to rest since your child was born. Just relax and reward yourself for the work you put into your child. Taking some time for yourself will allow you to adjust to the change and figure out how you really feel about your child's departure (离开). You shouldn't compare how you feel with how other people feel, as everyone's experience of an empty nest is different. Exercise is a great mood lifter. A physical fitness program may have been one of the first sacrifices (牺 牲) you made when your child came along; now, with fewer duties, you'll have time to hit the gym regularly. If you have a friend who also has become an empty nester recently, you may have found a new companion. Not only will you get the chance to share dealing with tips, you'll also create social opportunities for yourself, which will get you out of that empty house if you need to. We all have those things that we say we'll do or learn"someday". If you're an empty nester, the "someday" might just be now. If you're not sure exactly what to do in all your spare time, take your time and think about it. It will, however, probably be easier to figure out your dream when you're out. Try exploring a nearby museum or attraction you've never visited. Many parents may fear an empty nest because they worry that their little birds have flown away forever. Try setting up a regular phone date with your child. A once-a-week call may make you feel satisfied while giving your child a reasonable degree of freedom.  |
