I can’t remember when I fell in love with music. Maybe it happened when I was feeling blue sometime long ago. I can’t tell you exactly how music makes me feel better. But while listening to music, especially light music, it makes me feel calm and peaceful. Now I am listening to a song named Moon River. It is really a fantastic song. I didn’t like this song at the beginning, but later I found its slow melody and beautiful lyrics deeply touching.

“Oh, dream maker, you heart breaker. Wherever you’re going I’m going your way. Two drifters(流浪者) are off  to see the world. There’s such a lot of world to see.”

Yes. Although there is a long way to go for the drifters and maybe there are many troubles ahead, he seems afraid of nothing. I like music. Music reminds me that human beings have a lot in common even if they come from different countries or backgrounds, because we all have the same feeling or understanding of melodies and words.

Huw Thomas fell in love with Megan. But then an accident changed his life, and he had to move to Canada. Megan promised to write to him. But Huw never heard from her … until one day a letter arrived.

He saw the letter came from where he and his father had lived in their early years. Who was writing to him? He turned the envelop(信封) over in his hands several times. Then he took out the letter and read：

Dear Huw，

I don't know if this letter will reach you, and I don't really know why I'm writing to you after all these years, but …

Huw turned to the end of the letter and saw：

Best wishes

Megan

He couldn't believe it. He turned back to the first words of the letter and read：

After all these years, but I've just found your letter to me from Canada. Believe me, this was the first time I'd read them and they made me cry, even after 50 years. I found them in a box of my father's papers. They were never opened.

Huw, I never knew that you'd written to me. I thought your new life in Canada had made you forget me. Now I realize that my father kept your letters. I can still remember asking him if there was any letter for me, and he always said, “__▲__， my girl. I told you he was no good.” Finally, after about a year, I believed him.

But why did he keep the letters? Do you think he wanted me to find them when it was too late? Anyways, he's dead now, so I can't ask him. All I can say is I'm sorry. Sorry for what my father did, sorry that you never heard from me and sorry for… everything.

I hope that at least this letter reaches you. Of course, I'll understand if you don't want to write back to me, but if you do. I am still Megan Jenkins, and I will live at the same address.

Best wishes，

Megan

Huw read the letter again. Everything with Megan came back to him. He had never forgotten her. He couldn't. Every day he looked at her face on the wall. He had a drawing of her. It had travelled everywhere with him. But to hear from her again …

“Are you all right, Dad？” asked Mike, coming into the room.

(Adapted from Two Lives by Helen Naylor)

A. her father kept them

C. she moved to another city

D. he didn't post them at all

3.Which of the following sentences can be put in the __▲__？
