I got to an orphanage (孤儿院) near my office after work and I was surprised to see so many kids there. I could see before my eyes happiness all around.

(A) People today are interested in trips， holidays or cell phones. They care nothing for love or kindness. But the kids in the orphanage showed great interest in (B) them. I could feel that and see that.

With smiling faces， they could be as happy as any king of the world. Look at us. We seem to be happy， but we are always thinking of something about ourselves， about our children， about our work or about everyday life. (C) It’s not always easy for us to smile.

I just want to ask: Can any of your art works bring a smile to your face? The answer is “no”. But those kids could easily do that， just with their simple art. Though not perfect at all， their art was special. They could see beauty and joy even in a bird flying over， and they could stop anger so easily into joy.

We make our body too shy to hug (拥抱) for free， go back when it comes to kiss. And they， in a short time， make strangers their fans and without caring — just fall upon us and hug us， and kiss us. They expect nothing in return but still make us so happy.

They could easily teach what love really means for they have already understood and can use the common language of love.

During my stay at an orphanage (孤儿院) at the age of 9, a gentleman came and taught us how to do wooden art pieces.

I remember my first project—a small table. I was so proud of it that I regarded it as a wonder. It was beautiful and it took me six weeks to finish it. I could hardly wait to give it to Mother Winters as a gift. She was always strict with us.

As the tables were not dry from the clear coating, the man told us to wait a few days before taking them to our dormitories(寝室). But I was just so happy that I couldn’t wait to carry my table back, smiling from ear to ear.

When I reached the dormitory, I placed the little table beside my bed. When Mother Winters entered, I was admiring it.

“Were you supposed to bring this home?” she asked.

“No, ma’am,” I replied with my head down.

She ordered me to throw the table out and so I did. After she left, I immediately opened the door to get it back. It was dirty all over. I brushed it and cried, but the dirt would not come off. I hid the table in my closet. However, a year later during a cleaning-up, it was discovered. Painfully, I had to give the table to Mother Winters, thinking that she would throw it away.

Thirty years later at a party, I learned that Mother Winters was living nearby, so I drove up to see her. We talked cheerfully for long. As I was about to leave, she asked me to come down to her basement(地下室) to get something important. I followed her into a dark corner. She picked something up. As she turned around, I could see that she was holding a little table.

Mother Winters kept the little table that I had given up for lost so long ago.

Today, I look at that table with bittersweet memories but full of thanks to Mother Winters, who kept the table for a young orphan who valued it so much.

1.It was ________ for the writer when she finished the wooden small table.

A. exciting　　 B. worrying　　 C. thankful　　 D. painful

2.Why did Mother Winters order the writer to throw the table out?

A. Because the table was dirty.

B. Because the writer broke the rule.

C. Because she didn’t like the table.

D. Because she didn’t like the writer.

3.Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?

A. It took the writer seven weeks to finish the small table.

B. The writer cried before she got her small table back.

C. The writer hid the table in her closet for many years.

D. Mother Winters kept the small table for a long time.

4.The writer is trying to tell us Mother Winters was ________ according to the passage.

A. poor and rude　　 B. kind and poor

C. kind but strict　　 D. funny but strict
