When I was growing up, I always gave my mom an apron (围裙)on her birthday.I wanted my own mom —   21  that apron I"d just given her, of course —to   22  me at the end of each afternoon bearing a plate of home-baked   23  as she waited breathlessly to hear about my   24  day at school.
Mom loved her family without question, but as an elementary-school teacher she had her own exciting days to   25   .She had hardly any extra time and   26 , and home-baked treats were rare in our house except   27  very special occasions.Since Mom didn"t make cookies very often, the   28  of her baking were not always the same.Sometimes the cookies were browned a little more than planned or   29  together and other times the cookies weren"t smooth.  30 , none of that bothered anyone in the family.All we   31  was swallowing whatever we were having for dinner that night so we could get to the cookies   32  us on the kitchen counter.
Now that I"m a mom myself, I can   33  all too well why my mother didn"t always have the time to wear the apron.As was true with my mother, the list of things I need to do is often   34 than the day itself.But I also understand the desire to   35  the same yellow mixing bowl my mother used and make something special for my family every so often.Whatever I bake is met with approval, appreciation and good   36  by my husband and children.At some level, I believe they"re   37  that I was thinking about them as I   38  the brown sugar into the butter or frosted the cake with their favorite kind of icing.They always know I love them.I  39  they know it a little better when I"m in a baking mood.
I"m sure my mother felt   40  the same way whenever she made cookies for us.Those cookies will always, in my mind, be the best treat.

Poet Dean Young has dealt with impermanence( 无常)a lot in his career, but it"s a particularly strong theme in Young"s latest collection, Fall Higher.The new collection was published in April, just days after the poet received a life-saving heart transplant (移植) after about a decade of living with a weakening heart condition.
Young, whose work is often frank and rich with twisted humor, tells NPR"s Renee Montaigne that as he recovers from operation, he"s also slowly returning to his everyday writing habits.
"I"m getting back to it," Young says."Not with the sort of concentration and sort of flame that I look forward to in the future, but I am blackening some pages."
And on those blackened pages you"ll find poems like " How Grasp Green," which carries themes of springtime and rebirth.It"s one of the first poems Young has written since his transplant.
It"s easy to spot clues (线索) to Young"s awful health situation in the lines of his poetry. Fall Higher"s "Vintage" opens with, "Because I will die soon, I fall asleep, during the lecture on the ongoing emergency." And the poem "-The Rhythms Pronounce Themselves Then Vanish—published in The /Vew Barker in February —opens with the CT scan that revealed Young"s heart condition.
Young says "Rhythms" was written about the beginning of his illness.
"I had been having a lot of physical pain so that I could hardly walk a block.I got sent to a gastroenterologist and he did a series of tests, and then the tests came back to me and it was all heart related," he says." And the outlook wasn"t good.
Hearts tend to come up a lot in poetry, and that"s especially true of Young"s work, which has clearly been influenced by the troubles of his own heart,
"A lot of times, it"s not just a metaphor (比喻) ," Young says."For me, it"s an actual concern because I"ve been living with this disease for over 10 years.My father died of heart problems when he was 49, so it"s been a sort of shadowy concern for me my whole life.
But Young"s poems also deal with more abstract matters of the heart.He wrote Fall Higher"s, "Late Valentine" for his wife."We"ve been married since late November and most of it has been spent in the hospital," Young says of his marriage to poet Laurie Saurborn Young, who says " "Late Valentine" is very sweet.
Today, Young says, his friends can"t help but comment on how pink his cheeks have become—the result of a new heart and better circulation (循环).But Young wrote the poems of Fall Higher before the transplant, at a time when, at its weakest point, his old heart was pumping at 8 percent of what it should have been.
He was staring death in the face—but he was still able to look at his life and see art
in it.
Young"s work also touches on themes of randomness and fate —two factors that contributed to him getting a second chance in the form of a new heart from a 22-year-old student.
"Everything in life is molecules (分子) bouncing against molecules," Young says, and having a successful transplant is no different." Somebody had to die; it had to be a fit; my blood and his blood had to not have an argument; the heart had to be transported; I had to get it."
There were, in short, an amazing number of variables (变量) that led to Young
being here today.
"I just feel enormous gratitude," he says of his donor (捐献者)."He gave me a heart so I"m still alive-"I"m sure I"m going to think about this person for the rest of my life."

Several weeks ago, my friend advised us to sell some of our things which we will not use any more. I thought it was a good chance to  46  my 7-year-old son’s room and  47  some toys that were no longer suitable for him to play with. We  48  that all the money we got from selling the toys would be his money.
The night before the  49 , we loaded up the truck with toys and a little bike that was too  50  for him. In the yard he  51  the bike for the last time and then happily put it onto the truck. This little bike had at least two previous owners as far as we  52  . It wasn’t in the best  53  and was certainly not new, but the tires were  54  good.
We put a price of $10 on it, but it didn’t sell. So, after the sale was  55  , my friend put it on the sidewalk with a sign that  56  “FREE BIKE”. Within five minutes her doorbell rang. A little boy was   57  there. In poor English he asked whether the bike was  58  free. She said yes and that he could have it for  59  . He smiled, got on the bike and rode away.
Later that evening when I told my son how much money he had made at the sale, he was very  60  , shouting happily. He asked about a few of his things, wondering  61  they had been sold. When he asked about the bike, I told him about the little boy and that made him  62  . He was much happier than when I told him how much he had  63  . He was so happy to  64  that someone else would make good  65  of that little bike!

It’s really true what people say about English politeness: it’s everywhere. When squeezing (挤过去) past someone in a narrow passage, people say “sorry”. When getting off a bus, English passengers say “thank you” rather than the driver. In Germany, people would never dream of doing these things. After all, squeezing past others is sometimes unavoidable, and the bus driver is only doing his job. I used to think the same way, without questioning it, until I started traveling to the British Isles, and here are some more polite ways of interacting (交往) with people in UK.
People thank each other everywhere in England, all the time. When people buy something in a shop, customer and shop assistant in most cases thank each other twice or more. In Germany, it would be exceptional to hear more than one thank you in such a conversation. British students thank their lecturers when leaving the room. English employers thank their employees for doing their jobs, as opposite to Germans, who would normally think that paying their workers money is already enough.
Another thing I observed during my stay was that English people rarely criticize (批评) others. Even when I was working and mistakes were pointed out to me, my employers emphasized several times but none of their explanations were intended as criticism. It has been my impression that by avoiding criticism, English people are making an effort to make others feel comfortable. This also is showed in other ways. British men still open doors for women, and British men are more likely to treat women to a meal than German men. However, I do need to point out here that this applies to English men a bit more than it would to Scottish men! Yes, the latter are a bit tightfisted.
小题1:What is the author’s attitude towards English politeness?
A.He thinks it is unnecessary.B.He thinks little of it.
C.He appreciates it very much.D.He thinks it goes too far.
小题2:What can be inferred from the passage?
A.German men never treat a woman to dinner.
B.The author think it’s unnecessary to say “thank you” to the bus driver.
C.In Germany, employers often say “thank you” to employees for their job.
D.Germans think it is unnecessary to thank workers because payment is enough.
小题3:We can learn from the last paragraph that Scottish men ______.
A.like to fight with each other
B.treat women in a polite way
C.are as generous as English men
D.are unwilling to spend money for women
小题4:The author develops the text through the method of ______.
A.making comparisonsB.telling stories
C.giving reasonsD.giving examples
