Every year on my birthday since I was 11, a white gardenia(栀子花)was sent to my house. No card ever came with it. Calls to the flower shop were not helpful at all. After some time I stopped trying to find out the sender’s name and was just pleased with the beautiful white flower, in soft pink paper.

I couldn’t stop imagining(想像)who the giver might be, though. Some of my happiest moments were spent day dreaming about the sender. My mother encouraged these daydreams. She, d ask me if I had been especially kind to someone. Perhaps it was one of my classmates. Perhaps it was the old man. He lived across from the street. I’d sent him his mail during the winter. As a girl, though, I had more fun imagining that it might be a boy that I had met.

A month before my high school graduation(毕业), my father died. I was so sad that I became uninterested in my upcoming graduation dance, and I didn’t care whether I had a new dress or not. My mother, in her won sadness, however, would not let me miss any of those things. She wanted her children to feel loved. In fact, my mother wanted her children to see themselves much like the gardenia: lovely, strong and perfect, with perhaps a bit of mystery(神秘).

When I was 22, I got married. My mother died ten years after I was married. That was the year the gardenia stopped coming.

Every year on my birthday, from the time I turned 12, a white gardenia (栀子花) was delivered to my house. No card or note came with it. I was delighted by the beauty and perfume (香味) of the flower. But I never stopped imagining who the giver might be. My mother helped me to imagine. She’d ask me if I had been kind to someone. Perhaps the neighbor I’d helped carry the groceries for. As a teenager, though, I had more fun thinking that it might be a boy I loved.

When I was 17, a boy broke my heart. The night he called for me the last time, I cried myself to sleep. When I woke up in the morning, there was a message on my mirror in red lipstick: “Heartily know, / when half-gods go, / the gods arrive.” I thought about those words from Emerson for a long time. When I finally went to get the glass cleaner, my mother knew everything was all right again. She did understand me.

One month before my high-school graduation, my father died of a heart attack. I lost all my interest in graduation, the senior-class play and the prom (毕业舞会). But my mother would not hear of my skipping (略过) any of those things. She wanted her children to feel loved and lovable, imaginative, believing that there was a magic in the world and beauty in the face of hard times. Actually she wanted her children to see themselves much like the gardenia – loveable, strong and perfect. My mother died 10 days after I was married. I was 22. That was the year the gardenias stopped coming.

1.After the writer turned 12, she began to receive_____ on her birthday every year.

A. a birthday card　　 B. a birthday cake　　 C. a white gardenia　　 D. a beautiful book

2.When the writer was 17, _____ .

A. her father died of a heart attack　　 B. she lost her mother

C. a boy sent her some flowers　　 D. a boy broke up with her

3.What do we know from the story?

A. The writer didn’t like the white gardenia.　　 B. The writer’s father didn’t love her.

C. The writer’s mother was very wise.　　 D. The writer sent a gardenia to her mother every year.

4.Finally, the writer found that _____ was the flower giver.

A. her father　　 B. her mother

C. the neighbor she lent a hand to　　 D. a boy she fell in love with

5.Which do you think is the best title?

A. Life without Father　　 B. High school graduation

C. Mystery of the white gardenia　　 D. A girl’s growing pain

九年级英语阅读理解中等难度题查看答案及解析

①He was 11 years old and went fishing every chance he got at his family’s small house on an island in the middle of a New Hampshire lake.

②On the day before the bass(鲈鱼)season opened, he and his father were fishing early in the evening, catching sunfish and the bass with worms. Before long, when his fishing pole doubled over, he knew something huge was on the other end. His father watched him with admiration as the boy skillfully worked the fish alongside the bank and he very successfully lifted the exhausted fish from the water. It was the largest one he had ever seen, but it was a bass.

③The boy and his father looked at the handsome fish, the fish jumped up and down in the moonlight. The father looked at his watch. It was 10 P. M.-two hours before the season opened. He looked at the fish, then at the boy. "You will have to put it back, my son.” he said.“ I have never seen such a big fish before.” cried the boy“ There will be other fish." said his father. The boy looked around the lake. No other fishermen or boats were anywhere around in the moonlight. He looked again at his father. Even though no one had seen them, nor could anyone ever know what time he caught the fish, the boy could tell by his father's voice that the decision couldn't be changed. He slowly worked the hook out of the lip of the huge bass and lowered it into the water.

④That was 34 years ago. And he has never again caught such a beautiful fish as the one he landed that night long ago. But he does see the fish again and again-every time he comes up against a question of ethics(伦理). For, as his father taught him, ethics are simple matters of right and wrong. It is only the practice of ethics that is difficult.
