It was the day after Halloween when my grandmother was admitted to the hospital with the worst headache she’d ever had. While posing in our costumes the night before, we knew something was wrong, just not how wrong.
Grandma’s house was the central gathering place of my family. Sunday lunches, birthday dinners, Easter, Thanksgiving, and Christmas — all were our traditions, with her as hostess. While my parents were busy running their small business, there were many nights when Grandma fed me and put me to bed in her spare room, until they came to get me. I spent my summers at Grandma’s and I went everywhere with her. I couldn’t imagine a time when she wouldn’t be around me.
Then November 1, 1991 began her month-long stay in the hospital—she suffered from a rare infection (感染) called nocardia asteroides. After being born in the year of the Great Depression, living through World War II, raising three kids, and being widowed at the age of 48, Grandma never expected to live into her seventies. The infection in her brain seemed to confirm that she wasn’t long for this world. But that’s not the end of her story. A team of doctors successfully removed the abscess(脓肿), and Grandma even made it into a local medical journal. Her doctor called her “the brain lady”.
Grandma celebrated her 85th birthday in March this year. In the almost 23 years since her recovery, she’s seen two of her four grandchildren get married and welcomed three great-grandsons. Although they damage something in her house, she loves it when my two boys come over. And while I know they make her day, seeing her love blossom for another generation makes my day too. Happy Grandparents’ Day to my amazing grandmother!

高二英语单项填空简单题查看答案及解析
One warm day when I was walking in my backyard, I saw a pinecone(松球) on the ground. I picked it up, and some seeds fell out of it. Those seeds would be a tasty treat for a squirrel (松鼠).
I realized that pinecones were not always open like this one. Sometimes cones were tightly closed. I decided to find out why.
I gathered pinecones from my backyard. I watched them for over a year. Here’s what I learned.
Pinecones open and close slowly as the weather changes. When it’s cold or wet, cones are tightly closed. This protects the seeds inside from rain and snow.
When the weather becomes warm and dry, pinecones open. On a hot day, you might even hear the sound of cones popping open. The seeds inside may then fall to the ground. The wind may blow the seeds to places where they can grow into new pine trees. A seed has a better chance of taking root and growing when the weather is warm.
“Pine seeds are an important source of food for many animals,” says Monty Maldonado. He is a pinecone expert with the United States Forest Service. He says squirrels depend on pinecone seeds for most of their meals. They spend lots of time gathering and storing the cones. Maldonado says some animals eat only the seeds from a pinecone. But red squirrels and gray squirrels will eat the whole thing.
Small animals aren’t the only creatures that eat pine seeds. Maldonado says big grizzly bears (灰熊) and people eat them, too.
Seeds inside a pinecone are important for the growth of new trees and as food for animals. It is the pinecone’s job to protect them. So take note of the pinecones you see on the ground. They hold treasures inside.
45.According to the passage, when it is rainy, cones .
A.are open B.are usually shut C.grow quickly D.stop growing
46.According to Monty Maldonado, .
A.not all squirrels eat the whole pinecone
B.pine seeds are difficult to find for many animals
C.people in the forest are sometimes attacked by grizzly bears
D.most small animals depend on pinecone seeds for their meals
47.We can learn from the passage that on sunny days .
A.seeds may fall out of the cones
B.squirrels stay still in their nests
C.it’s difficult for a seed to take root
D.the wind will put the pine trees in danger
48.In the last paragraph, the author points out that .
A.more and more new trees need to be planted in future
B.people should be responsible for protecting animals
C.people should be careful not to damage the pinecones
D.squirrels now have few seeds to feed themselves
49.Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?
A.The author learned why pinecones are not always open in the forest.
B.The author gathered pinecones and observed them for a month.
C.The author is fond of gathering and storing the cones.
D.Pine trees are precious to animals and people.
