阅读填空 先通读下文，根据短文内容完成表格中所缺信息，每空限填一词。

What do you read when you are travelling by train or bus? What are other people reading? Perhaps a woman sitting near you is reading a love story. A man is reading a serious biography(自传) about a president. And there’s a student reading an English textbook.

What do their choices(选择) say about them? Do you think you can know them by what they are reading? I have got to tell you that your feelings of them may be quite wrong. The woman reading the love story could be a lawyer. She just wants a light read to take her mind off work. The man reading the biography wants you to think that he is very clever. The student reading the textbook isn’t a student at all. She’s an English teacher.

Publishers(出版商) know that some people care what they read on trains or buses and so they put out different types of covers. For example， books about Harry Potter have a cartoon cover for young readers and then another more serious cover for grown-ups.

So next time you are on a train， look around and see what other people are reading， but don’t jump to any conclusions(结论). You will be wrong maybe.

Here is a sentence that you could say， “Don’t judge（判断） a book by its cover”.

When I was young, my father used to grow carnations — a kind of flower that was red, pink or white. He took care of them with much love and devotion. Every day he came home from work, he would enjoy watching them. And he used to tell us, “No one should touch my flowers.”

One day, my younger sister Clemence, who loved dad very much, wanted to help him. So she cut the carnation from their stems (枝干) one by one and arranged (排列) them on the ground. She believed that dad would be very happy to see them that way.

When mom and I realized what my sister had done, we became completely silent. However, my sister didn’t know why no one showed her any appreciation (感谢). When dad arrived, he went as usual straight to watch the flowers. Seeing his flowers lying on the ground like dead animals, he was shocked at first. He looked towards the street to see if it was any of the neighbors’ children who could have done it. Then he looked at mom in silence. Finally mom, who always taught us to tell the truth no matter what, said, “No bad neighbors did this great job, only your lovely daughter Clemence.”

Dad’s face changed into a smile and then he said, “Do I have better flower than my lovely daughter?” My younger sister smiled and hugged (拥抱) dad strongly.
