On my birthday this year, I decided to do something very different. I had been 31 so much and I wanted to reach out to bring happiness to someone else. So, that 32, I bought some flowers and went to a hospital. I had no 33 who I was going to present the flowers to, but I would find someone who needed 34  .

I asked the nurses in the hospital, who thought it 35 that I didn’t have anyone in particular to see. 36, they gave me the room number of a(n) 37 lady, who needed some comfort.

I entered the room with the flowers. The elderly woman looked up, staring at me 38. She was greatly moved when I told her about my 39  in being there. She was an amputee(被截肢者) and she explained to me that she was very worried 40 they were going to fit her with prosthetic leg(假肢). She knew that as she was getting used to the “ 41 ”leg, she would be in  42  .

Later, in the following two hours, we 43  a lot and both felt very happy. I  44 until it was dark. I will always remember how 45 she was the moment she received the flowers from me—a 46  . She called me her angel and said she had no more 47  .

I 48 that story with my neighbor and she 49  that she was going to do the same thing on her birthday. And I hope that she will 50  others to be kind and do the same thing. You never know you might be considered someone’s angel one day.

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).

1.My mother died ten days after I was married. I was 22. That was the year the gardenia stopped coming.

Which of the following would be the best title for the text?

A. A Childhood Dream               B. A Mother’s Love

C. A Graduation Party               D. A Special Birthday

2.The mother insisted that her daughter go to the graduation dance because ________.

A. she could take care of things herself

B. she hoped she would find a boyfriend

C. she wanted her to be happy and strong

D. she thought education was the most important

3.Who was the sender of the flower?

A. A boy the writer had run into.     B. One of the writer’s neighbors.

C. One of the writer’s classmates. D. The writer’s mother.

Birthdays often involve surprises. But this year's surprise on the birthday of the great British playwright William Shakespeare is surely one of the most dramatic.

On April 22, one day before his 441st birthday anniversary, experts discovered that one of the most recognizable portraits of William Shakespeare is a fake. This means that we no longer have a good idea of what Shakespeare looked like. “It's very possible that many pictures of Shakespeare might be unreliable because many of them are copies of this one,” said an expert from Britain's National Portrait Gallery.

The discovery comes after four months of testing using X-rays, ultraviolet light, microphotography and paint samples. The experts from the gallery say the image —commonly known as the “Flower portrait”— was actually painted in the 1800s, about two centuries after Shakespeare's death. The art experts who work at the gallery say they also used modern chemistry technology to check the paint on the picture. These checks found traces of paint dating from about 1814. Shakespeare died in 1616, and the date that appears on the portrait is 1609.

“We now think the portrait dates back to around 1818 to 1840. This was when there was a renewed interest in Shakespeare's plays,” Tarnya Cooper, the gallery's curator (馆长), told the Associated President.

The fake picture has often been used as a cover for collections of his plays. It is called the Flower portrait because one of its owners, Desmond Flower, gave it to the Royal Shakespeare Company.

“There have always been questions about the painting,” said David Howells, curator for the Royal Shakespeare Company. “Now we know the truth, we can put the image in its proper place in the history of Shakespearean portraiture.”

Two other images of Shakespeare, are also being studied as part of the investigation and the results will come out later this month.________

1.What makes the birthday of Shakespeare dramatic this year?

A. It was found that he painted a portrait in 1814 instead of in 1609.

B. The Flower portrait has been found to be a fake.

C. Three portraits of Shakespeare are being tested to identify a real one.

D. It was found that there was a renewed interest in Shakespeare's plays around 1818 to 1840.

2.Which statement is True according to the passage?

A. Portraits of Shakespeare are all unreliable.

B. “Flower portrait” was a portrait of Shakespeare given to Desmond Flower.

C. 1814 might be when the portrait was drawn.

D. The Flower portrait is not often used as a cover for Shakespeare's play.

3.How many methods were used to test the portrait?

A. Not mentioned.        B. Two            C. Three            D. At least four.

4.The best title for this passage is “________”.

A. Birthdays often involve surprises

B. The surprise on the 441st birthday of Shakespeare

C. One portrait of Shakespeare is a fake

D. How can we know Shakespeare's appearance?

5.Which is the best sentence to fill in the blank in the last paragraph?

A. Soon we'll know which portrait is reliable.

B. Maybe we cannot find a real portrait of Shakespeare.

C. If the two portraits are found to be false, they will test more.

D. For now what Shakespeare really looked like will remain a mystery.
