Every year on my birthday, from the time I turned 12, a white gardenia was delivered to my house. No card came with it. Calls to the flower-shop were not helpful at all. After a while I stopped trying to discover the sender’s name and just delighted in the beautiful white flower in soft pink paper.
But I never stopped imagining who the giver might be. Some of my happiest moments were spent daydreaming about the sender. My mother encouraged these imaginings. She’d ask me if there was someone for whom I had done a special kindness. Perhaps it was the old man across the street whose mail I’d delivered during the winter. As a girl, though, I had more fun imagining that it might be a boy I had run into.
One month before my graduation, my father died. I felt so sad that I became completely uninterested in my upcoming graduation dance, and I didn’t care if I had a new dress or not. But my mother, in her own sadness, would not let me miss any of those things. She wanted her children to feel loved and lovable. In truth, my mother wanted her children to see themselves much like the gardenia—lovely, strong and perfect with perhaps a bit of mystery(神秘).
My mother died ten days after I was married. I was 22.That was the year the gardenia stopped coming.

Dear Editor,
Brockingham is run by people who are more interested in tourists than its residents. The problem is that the people running the government refuse to accept new ideas. By banning (禁止) all fast-food restaurants and discount (折扣)stores, they take away all the places kids can afford to shop.
These people forget that when they were young, they could go to the South Street Soda Fountain and get an ice-cream soda for 25 cents. Today you can’t find an ice-cream soda anywhere in Brockingham for less than $2! Where can kids go for a snack?
There is not a single restaurant in Brockingham where a family of four can eat dinner for less than $100. Add a 15% tip and sales tax and you have spent nearly $125 to eat a meal you could prepare at home for about $12. Have you noticed that Brockingham families never dine in Brockingham?
Fast-food restaurants are also a good place for school kids to get an after-school job. Fast-food restaurants are busiest during the early supper hours when students are able to work, while the fancy food restaurants cater to late-night diners which are too late for most students. The City Council claims that local merchants should benefit from the tourist business. I agree that it is important to support local businesses, but I think the fast-food restaurants would encourage more people to shop in Brockingham.
Another thing that disturbs me is that we must travel 25 miles to the nearest discount store. If I need a tire for my bike, I have a choice of buying one at Surf and Peddle Sport Shop for $15 or driving to Parkersburg Discount Center where I can buy the same kind of tire for $9. Again, I think the ban on all food chains and discount houses is counterproductive for our city.
Wes Woodrow
9th-Grade Student at Brockingham High School
39. Why does Wes Woodrow write this letter to the editor?
A. Because the ice-cream soda costs more than $2.
B. Because the daily expense is too high in Brockingham.
C. Because it’s expensive to go out to eat dinner for a family.
D. Because it is far from the nearest discount store.
40. How does the writer support the statement of Paragraph 1 in the following paragraphs?
A. By giving instructions B. By analyzing cause and effect
C. By following the order of time D. By giving examples.
41. From the letter we can know that ____________.
A. the government’s ban benefits local merchants much
B. the writer used to buy a lot of ice-cream soda
C. the students refuse to work in fancy food restaurants
D. discount stores always offer a discount of 40%
42. The underlined word “counterproductive” in paragraph 6 of the letter probably means ______.
A. useful B. harmful C. beneficial D. doubtful

D
In Britain and other countries, young people sometimes take a gap year, a year off between high school and college. This idea never gained a big following in America. Recent news reports have suggested that interest may be growing, though there are no official numbers.
Charles Deacon, Dean of Admissions at Georgetown University in Washington, DC says the most common reason for taking a gap year is to have a chance to travel, but he says international students may take a gap year to meet requirements at home for military duty.
Some high school graduates see a year off as a chance to recover after twelve years of required education, but it can also give students a chance to explore their interests. Students hoping to be doctors, for example, could learn about the profession by volunteering in a hospital.
Many colleges and universities support gap-year projects by permitting students to delay their admission. Experts say students can grow emotionally and intellectually as they work at something they enjoy.
The Harvard admissions office has an essay on its Website called “Time Out or Burn Out for the Next Generation.” It praises the idea of taking time off to step back, think and enjoy gaining life experiences outside the pressure of studies. It also notes that students are sometimes admitted to Harvard or other colleges partly because they did something unusual with that time.
Of course, a gap year is not for everyone. Students might miss their friends who go on directly to college, and parents might worry that their children will decide not to go to college once they take time off. Another concern is money. A year off, away from home, can be costly.
Holly Bull’s job is to specialize in helping students plan their gap year. She notes that several books have been written about this subject. She says these books along with media attention and the availability of information on the Internet have increased interest in the idea of a year off, and she points out that many gap-year programs cost far less than a year of college.
43. What is the passage mainly about?
A. Why to take a gap year B. How to take a gap year
C. Taking a gap year may become popular in America.
D. Americans hold different opinions towards students taking a gap year.
44. What’s the main purpose for students to take a gap year according to Charles Deacon?
A. to go out to open their eyes B. to meet requirements at home for military duty
C. to explore their interests D. to recover after twelve years of required education,
45. The essay “time out or burn out for the next generation” suggests that________.
A. every student must take a gap year before applying for a famous university
B. the stress of studies does harm to the students’ health
C. taking a gap year can make students free from life learning
D. some famous universities encourage students to gain more life experiences
46. What can we learn from the passage?
A. Charles Deacon doesn’t support the students’ taking a gap year
B. Parents might disagree with the program, concerned about their children’s future.
C. Books and media have contributed to the students’ interest in school learning
D. Experts agree taking a year off will surely benefit the students emotionally and physically.
