In the kitchen of my mother’s houses there has always been a wooden stand(木架)with a small notepad(记事本)and a hole for a pencil.
I’m looking for paper on which to note down the name of a book I am recommending to my mother. Over forty years since my earliest memories of the kitchen pad and pencil, five houses later, the current paper and pencil look the same as they always did. Surely it can’t be the same pencil? The pad is more modern, but the wooden stand is definitely the original one.
“I’m just amazed you still have the same stand for holding the pad and pencil after all these year.” I say to her, walking bank into the living-room with a sheet of paper and the pencil. “You still use a pencil. Can’t you afford a pen?”
My mother replies a little sharply. “It works perfectly well. I’ve always kept the stand in the kitchen. I never knew when I might want to note down an idea, and I was always in the kitchen in these days.”
Immediately I can picture her, hair wild, blue housecoat covered in flour, a wooden spoon in one hand, the pencil in the other, her mouth moving silently. My mother smiles and says, “One day I was cooking and watching baby Pauline, and I had a brilliant thought, but the stand was empty. One of the children must have taken the paper. So I just picked up the breadboard and wrote it all down on the back. It turned out to be a real breakthrough for solving the mathematical problem I was working on.”
This story—which happened before I was born—reminds me how extraordinary my mother was, and is, as a gifted mathematician. I feel embarrassed that I complain about not having enough child-free time to work. Later, when my mother is in the bathroom, I go into her kitchen and turn over the breadboards. Sure enough, on the back of the smallest one, are some penciled marks I recognize as mathematics. Those symbols have traveled unaffected through fifty years, rooted in the soil of a cheap wooden breadboard, invisible(看不到的)exhibits at every meal.
1.Why has the author’s mother always kept the notepad and pencil in the kitchen?

Summertime has always been my absolute favorite time of the year. When I was in school, I just lived for the long summer holidays when I could play with my friends and my sister all day at our ease. Everyone has different associations of summer. For some, they think of the smell of freshly cut grass, for others it’s lying on a beach reading a book and for some it might be the taste of lemonade or ice cream. I am so happy to be spending this summer with my family and childhood friends here in the Highlands of Scotland after a year away in France.
One of my favorite things to do in summer is go to see the Highland. These events happen all across the Highlands and Islands of Scotland over the summer and are a great chance for friends and family to get together and support the local community. A Highland Games event is a big gathering with food stalls(小摊), fair games for children and sports and athletics competitions. Many of the sports are very specific to Scottish tradition such as “tossing caber”. This is a competition in which the competitors attempt to lift a full-length tree log and to toss it up in the air. The oldest Highland Games of Scotland date back to AD 1314 and they are now an iconic part of the Scottish summer.
Summer just would not be complete for me without my favorite fruit-strawberries. Here in the Highlands, strawberries are grown as one of our best-sellers over the summer months and one thing I love to do on a warm summer afternoon is to pick some strawberries to eat with cream at the end of the day. If you come here, I think you will fall in love with them.
1.Why did the author treasured summertime as a child?
A. It was a long hot holiday for him.
B. He could see his brother every day.
C. He was able to feel quite relaxed.
D. It was the best time to live a life.
2.What can we learn according to the first paragraph?
A. The author was born and raised in France.
B. The author spent one year out of his country.
C. The author moved to Scotland with his family.
D. The author devoted much time to reading books.
3.What will you see at a Highland Games event?
A. People giving a hand to those in need.
B. Kinds of delicious food and happy children.
C. A cultural display of Scottish tradition.
D. Some extreme sports competitions.
4.Why does the author refer to strawberries?
A. To show he only takes interest in this fruit.
B. To prove Highlands is best for summer.
C. To attract readers to buy strawberries.
D. To suggest strawberries are the best for you.

My mother has always been a follower of traditional methods when it comes to anything. She cooks traditional food,likes dressing up traditionally and likes the traditional way of shopping. She loves going to markets and going from one shop to another to find out what suits her best. She can walk miles when it comes to shopping along with her friends. She knows all the local markets and shops and knows very well where she can get best discounts(折扣).
However,now she always gets tired when she goes out in the market. So one day I decided to introduce a new shop,which is much larger than usual markets and where she can also get discounts.I am talking about online gift stores. She has a basic knowledge of computers and can operate computers. At the beginning,she was doubtful about shopping from these online gift shops because she wasn’t too sure about the quality of the products.
One day I decided to get her some branded things so that she could build trust in these shops. I ordered a Timex watch and a Sisley handbag for her. She never bought things online,but when they were delivered as a gift,she jumped for joy. She could not believe that I had ordered these gifts for her despite her being not much positive about online shops. However,after she saw both the products,she was assured that these online gift shops sent the promised brands and products,she loved her new watch and handbag.
After this experience she ordered a gift for her friend's wedding. She chose a gift basket that could be made according to her requirements. They sent a beautifully decorated basket with fine wines and chocolates. The basket was so artistically decorated that it became her friend's favorite gift. Since then she has been consistently shopping online.
