Years later, during her final illness， mother kept different things for my sister and brother。 “But the desk,” shed said again， “its for Elizabeth. ”I never saw her angry, never saw her cry. I knew she loved me； she showed it in action. But as a young girl， I wanted heart-to-heart talks between mother and daughter。 They never happened。 And a gulf opened between us。 I was “too emotional(易动感情的)。 But she lived “on the surface（表面）。 As years passed I had my own family。 I loved my mother and thanked her for our happy family. I wrote to her in careful words and asked her to let me know in any way she chose that she did forgive(原谅) me. I posted the letter and waited for her answer。 None came. My hope turned to disappointment(失望)， then little interest and， finally， peace- it seemed that nothing happened。 I couldnt be sure that the letter had even got to mother。 I only knew that I had written it， and I could stop trying to make her into someone she was not. Now the present of her desk told， as shed never been able to， that she was pleased that writing was my chosen work. I cleaned the desk carefully and found some papers inside a photo of my father and a one-page letter， folded（折叠) and refolded many times。 Give me an answer, my letter asks, in any way you choose. Mother， you always chose the act that speaks louder than words. 根据短文内容，选择最佳答案。41. The writer began to love her mothers desk _.

Mother and Children C。 My mothers DeskD. Talks between Mother and Me D When my family moved to America in 2010 from a small village in Guangdong， China, we brought not only our luggage, but also our village rules, customs and culture. One of the rules is that young people should always respect(尊敬） elders。 Unluckily， this rule led to my very first embarrassment in the United States。 I had a part-time job as a waiter in a Chinese restaurant. One time， when I was serving food to a middleaged couple, the wife asked me how the food could be served so quickly。 I told her that I had made sure they got their food quickly because I always respect the elderly. As soon as I said that, her face showed great displeasure. My manager， who happened to hear what I said， took me aside and gave me a long lecture about how sensitive(敏感) Americans are and how they dislike the description “old”。 I then walked back to the table and apologized to the wife. After the couple heard my reason， they understood that the problem was caused by cultural differences， so they laughed and were no longer angry。 In my village in China， people are proud of being old. Not so many people live to be seventy or eighty, and people who reach such an age have the most knowledge and experience. Young people always respect older people because they know they can learn from their rich experience. However, in the United States， people think “growing old is a problem since “old” shows that a person is going to retire or that the body is not working well。 Here many people try to keep themselves away from growing old by doing exercises or jogging， and women put on makeup， hoping to look young。 When I told the couple in the restaurant that I respect the elderly, they got angry because this caused them to feel they had failed to stay young。 I had told them something they didn
