阅读理解 "Grandma, Grandma, tell us a story!" Four darling children sat by my feet, looking up at me expectantly. Suddenly, we were interrupted clapping. "Terrific, " the director said, stepping up the stage from the aisle(过道). "Except, could you kids face the audience a bit more?" The kids shifted to face the empty seats, which would be filled in a few days for the church play. "Perfect, " the director said. "Now, Grandma, read to your grandchildren." A pang of sadness hit me. If only I could read to my real grandchild! I had a granddaughter, but I"d never met her. Sixteen years earlier my son was involved in a relationship that ended badly. But out of it came a blessing: a baby girl named Lena. I hoped to be a grandmother to her-but shortly after the birth, the mother moved without any address left. Over the years, I asked around town to try and find my son"s exwife(前妻), but it seemed that she didn"t want to be found. I"d just joined this new church a week earlier, and was at once offered the part of Grandma in the play. At least now I could pretend to be a grandma. The rehearsals went well, and finally the day of the show arrived. The performance was great. "You all looked so natural up there, " one of my friends said. Afterward, we went to the church basement for refreshments(茶点). I walked over to one of the girls in the play, Rehearsals had been such a whirlwind(一片忙乱) that we never really got to talk. "How"s my granddaughter?" I joked. "Fine!" she answered. Just then, someone else walked up and asked the girl her name. I wasn"t sure I heard the girl"s answer correctly. But it made me ask her another question. "What"s your mother"s name?" She told me, I was still in shock. "And what"s your father"s name?" I asked. She told me. It was my son. She"d only started going to that church a week before I did. Since that day of the play, we"ve stayed close. Not long ago, she even made me a great grandma. 1.
