I have known Ting for a long time. She was a friend of mine in high school. Ting used to see me as her best friend in my class because, as she said , it was easy to be friends with me . Therefore ,when we had time in school,she often came to me and we would talk about many things. Though I didn’t have special feelings about this friend, I was fine with this because I didn’t see the reason why I should say “no” to a friend I didn’t hate.
But there was a while when she came to me, and usually said nothing meaningful. I started to feel tired and then tried not to meet her. After that she never came to me. Though guilty, I started to feel free about my life and never thought of anything about her feeling.
After a month or two, I heard from other friends that Ting’s father had passed away six months before. I was so shocked! Then I suddenly realized why Ting had often come to me but said nothing special. She needed my company (陪伴). I felt so bad about myself that I went to find her the next day. But I only found that she had moved away to another place.
At that time, I found myself so selfish that I only thought of myself but didn’t even try to ask a friend what happened in her life.

We have known for a long time that flowers of different plants open and close at different time of day. Yet no one really understands why flowers open and close like this at particular times. It is not as simple as we might think, as new experiments have shown. In one experiment, flowers were kept in darkness. We might expect that the flowers, without any information about the time of the day, did not open as they usually do. In fact, they continued to open at their usual time. This shows that they have some mysterious (神秘的) way of knowing the time.
Their sense of time does not depend on information from the outside world; it is, so to speak, inside them, a kind of “inner clock”. This discovery may not seem to be very important. However, it was later found that not just plants but also animals including man have this “inner clock”which controls working of their bodies and their activities.
Human beings, then, are also controlled by this mysterious power. Whether we wish it or not, it affects such things in our life as our need for sleep, our need for food. And our ability to concentrate(集中).

Plant Anything
A good friend of mine, Miriam, was going away on a long trip during the autumn. I called her the day before she would leave for the trip to wish her have a good trip. She was completely behind on everything she needed to do. She was a little worried. “I bought some wonderful corms to plant for next spring. But now I have no time to deal with them,” she said.
I always plant many seeds(种子)in March and by June enjoy the sweet smell everywhere. I just can’t bear the thought of a plant not getting a chance to grow. “I’ll plant them for you,” I told her.
“Oh, would you?” Miriam was excited. She promised to put them out on the porch(走廊)for me.
I arrived several days later and found a paper bag on the porch. After a lot of work, I planted all the corms in the perfect place.
When Miriam got back a few months later, she and I went out for dinner to celebrate her return. While eating, she said, “You know, I still can’t believe I forgot to put those corms out on the porch!”
I looked at her in surprise. “What do you mean? Of course, you put them out. They were sitting on the porch in a paper bag.”
“No,” she said, “They’re still sitting on the desk where I left them.”
“So, what did I plant that morning?” I asked.
She stopped as if to prepare me for her news. Then she slowly said, “That was cat poop(猫屎). You planted cat poop.”
Miriam looked at my face and did the best to keep from laughing. But I was too busy replaying the pictures of me picking these cat poop from a paper bag and planting them.
Years have passed since then, and both our gardens and our friendship have continued to grow. I guess, I really will try to plant just about anything.
1.What did Miriam worried about?
A.She had no time to plant her corms. B.She would spend too much time on the trip.
C.She had too many seeds to plant in spring. D.There was no place for her corms in her garden.
2.Why did the writer go out for dinner with Miriam?
A.To make friends with her. B.To plant seeds with her.
C.To listen to her news. D.To celebrate her return.
3.What did the writer know after Miriam got back?
A.The corms grew very well. B.Miriam’s garden was sweet.
C.The writer planted cat poop. D.Miriam had a very good trip.

Emily and Anne did know, of course. They had known about Charlotte’s book for a long time. Jane Eyre was not the first book that Charlotte had sent to a publisher. Over a year ago she had written another book, The Professor, and sent it to one publisher after another. Each publisher had sent it back, in a packet addressed to Currer Bell. And then Charlotte had sent it, in the same old packet, to another publisher, and then another, and got it back again.
“Why didn’t you change the paper on the packet, my dear?” I asked.
Charlotte smiled. “I didn’t think of it, papa. The worst day was when we were Manchester, going to the eye doctor. Do you remember? The packet came back then. That was the day before I started writing Jane Eyre.”
“Do you mean that you started writing Jane Eyre while I was lying in the dark room in Manchester?”
“That’s right, papa.”
“But that’s only six months ago, and here is the book in my hand!”
“Yes, papa. The book was printed a month later after I sent it to the publisher.”
“My dear! They decided very quickly that they liked it, then!”
“I think they did, papa. After all, it is a good book, isn’t it?”
She smiled at me. I don’t think I have ever seen her so happy. She is a very small person. Charlotte, and not a beautiful woman, but when she smiles like that, her face shines like a fine painting. My wife used to look like that sometimes when I first met her.
I took her hand in mine. “It is a very good book, my dear. I cannot tell you how proud I am.”
She touched my hand. “Thank you, papa. But you must not be proud of me alone. You know, another two of your daughters—Anne and Emily…”
“Oh, no, Charlotte, please!” Emily said.
But Charlotte did not stop. “Anne and Emily have written good books too, and their books will soon be published as well! Let me introduce them to you, papa. These young ladies—Anne and Emily, are “not” your daughters—they are separately Acton Bell and Ellis Bell, brothers of the famous writer Currer Bell!”
Emily’s face was bright red, but Anne and Charlotte started laughing. I was very surprised.
“All three of you!” I said. “But—but why do you use these strange names?”
“Because people are stupid, papa.” Anne said. “No one thinks women can write good books, so we have used men’s names. And now they say that Currer Bell is a writer who understands women very well!” She laughed again.
1.Why didn’t Charlotte change the paper on the packet?
A. Because she hated to change the paper. B. Because she liked the paper very much.
C. Because she had no money to buy the paper. D. Because she didn’t think of changing the paper.
2.Which is the right time order of what happened in the story?
a. The book Jane Eyre was published.
b. Charlotte wrote a book named The Professor.
c. Charlotte wrote a book named Jane Eyre.
d. The family went to the eye doctor in Manchester.
e. The books by Charlotte’s sisters would be published.
A. b→e→d→c→a B. e→a→b→d→c C. b→d→c→a→e D. e→b→c→a→d
3.To make their books published, Charlotte, Emily and Anne used men’s names, which are separately ______.
A. Currer Bell, Ellis Bell and Acton Bell B. Currer Bell, Acton Bell and Ellis Bell
C. Ellis Bell, Acton Bell and Currer Bell D. Acton Bell, Ellis Bell and Currer Bell
4.Which is the best title for the story?
A. Big surprise from daughters B. Advice from Father
