My friend’s grandfather came to America from Eastern Europe. After being processed (移民入境检查) at Ellis Island, he went into a cafeteria (自助餐厅) in Lower Manhattan to get something to eat. He sat down at a table and waited for someone to take his order. But nobody came to him. Later a woman with a plate full of food sat down opposite him and told him how a cafeteria worked.

The elephant is the largest animal to walk on Earth. An elephant can carry a load of 1,200 pounds（磅）. They eat 300 pounds of food a day. An elephant baby can weigh 200 pounds at birth. Elephants can live up to 70 years.
Elephants can be trained to carry logs with their trunks（象鼻）, and have been used in the forestry industry in Asia for many years.
Elephants use their ears as a cooling system. Blood flows through veins (静脉) in the ears and as the elephant flaps (拍击) his ears, the blood cools and flows through his body to cool off other parts.
There are two kinds of elephants: the African elephant and the Indian elephant. African elephants can be identified(识别) by the larger ears. The African elephant grows up to 10 feet tall and weighs as much as 12,000 pounds.
The Indian elephant grows up to 9 feet tall, and weighs up to 8,000 pounds. It’s easy to identify because of its smaller ears. Most circus (马戏团) elephants are Indian elephants. Another name for the Indian elephant is the Asian elephant.

My parents divorced when I was 8 years old. Their marriage was a mistake of World War II. And about 50 years ago, I was the only child I knew who didn"t have a father at home on Father"s Day. Divorce was very uncommon back then.
So when my friends were in town shopping for presents for their fathers, I decided since my mother was both Mother and Father, no one else was like her, who better deserved(be worth) a present on Father"s Day than her?
I bought her a little set of tools, just a few things, hammer, pliers(钳子) and screwdriver(螺丝起子) and a box to put all these things in. I got some ideas from my grandfather and named it Mother"s Tool Box. She was excited, more at the thought of being cared for on Father"s Day than of the present. She always said she liked her Father"s Day memories better than the Mother"s Day ones. It made her feel special — and she was. I have noticed in the past few years, greeting cards are even made for "Mother on Father"s Day". Ever since then, my mother has got cards on Father’s Day. By the way, she knew just how to use those tools and others she had ever used over the years.

小题2:What did the writer decide to do when he saw friends shopping for Father’s Day presents?| A．Go shopping with his friends. | | B．Buy a present for his mother. | | C．Help his mother. | | D．Ask his grandfather for help. |
