阅读理解 | For years I wanted a flower garden. I"d spend hours thinking of different things I could plant that would look nice together. But then we had Matthew. And Marvin. And the twins, Alisa and Alan. And then Helen. Five children. I was too busy raising them to grow a garden. Money was tight, as well as time. Often when my children were little, one of them would want something that cost too much, and I"d have to say, "Do you see a money tree outside?Money doesn"t grow on trees, you know." Finally, all five got through high school and college and were off on their own. I started thinking again about having a garden. I wasn"t sure, though. I mean, gardens do cost money, and after all these years I was used to living on a pretty lean, nofrills budget. Then, one spring morning, on Mother"s Day, I was working in my kitchen. Suddenly, I realized that cars were tooting their horns as they drove by. I looked out of the window and there was a new tree, planted right in my yard. I thought it must be a weeping willow, because I saw things blowing around on all its branches. Then I put my glasses on-and I couldn"t believe what I saw. There was a money tree in my yard! I went outside to look. It was true!There were dollar bills, one hundred of them, taped all over that tree. Think of all the garden flowers I could buy with one hundred dollars! There was also a note attached:"IOU eight hours of digging time. Love, Marvin." Marvin kept his promise, too. He dug up a nice tenbyfifteen foot bed for me. And my other children bought me tools, ornaments, a trellis(棚架), a sunflower stepping stone and gardening books. That was three years ago. My garden"s now very pretty, just like I wanted. When I go out and weed or tend my flowers, I don"t seem to miss my children as much as I once did. It feels like they are right there with me. I live up in Michigan"s Upper Peninsula, where winters are long and cold, and summers are too short. But every year now, when winter sets in, I look out of my window and think of the flowers I"ll see next spring in my little garden. I think about what my children did for me, and I get tears in my eyes every time. I"m still not sure that money grows on trees. But I know love does!

I went on my first volunteer project in West Virginia. On the night we arrived, we discovered that "our family" was living in a trailer(拖车) that was in poor condition. A crew had been working on it for two weeks, but every time they finished one problem, another surfaced. We decided the only reasonable solution was to build a new house-something unusual but necessary under these circumstances. The family was overjoyed with their new house that was twenty by thirty feet with three bedrooms, a bath and a kitchen. On Tuesday of that week, while we were eating lunch together, I asked the family"s three boys, Josh, Eric and Ryan, "What do you want for your new room?"Expecting toys and other gadgets that children usually ask for, we were astonished when Josh responded, "I just want a bed." The boys had never slept in a bed! They were accustomed to plastic mats. That night we had a meeting and decided that beds would be the perfect gift. On Thursday night, a few adults in our group drove to the nearest city and bought beds and new bedding. When we saw the delivery truck coming, we told the family about the surprise. We could hardly contain ourselves. It was like watching excited children on Christmas morning. That afternoon, as we fitted the frames of the beds together, Eric ran into the house to watch us. Too dirty to enter his room, he observed with wideeyed enthusiasm from the doorway. As my father slipped a pillowcase onto one of the pillows, Eric asked, "What is that?" "A pillow, " he replied. "What do you do with it?" Eric continued to ask. "When you go to sleep, you put your head on it, " I answered softly. Tears came to my eyes as my father handed Eric the pillow. "Oh…that"s soft, " he said, hugging it tightly. Now, when my sister or I start to ask for something that seems urgent, my dad gently asks, "Doyouhaveapillow?" We know exactly what he means.
1. The writer"s first volunteer project was________. A. working on a poor trailer B. helping a poor family C. donating beds and bedding D. dealing with a housing problem
2. On hearing Josh"s answer, the writer was shocked because________. A. the family lived in a trailer B. he expected to get some toys C. he didn"t know what a bed was D. the boys had no bed to sleep in
3. From the passage, we can learn that Eric had never seen________ before. A. a trailer B. a truck C. a pillow D. a house
4. By saying "Doyouhaveapillow?", the writer"s father means that________. A. what they want to get may be unnecessary B. they should not waste money on small things C. they should do more volunteer work for the poor D. what he will buy is not what they want but a pillow | It was in my high school science class.

Greg"s mother works for my family. We were going to__2__ that shirt away, but gave it to her__3__." I was speechless. I wanted to hide.
