I was wearing makeup like a big girl, and I was dressed in a white tutu (芭蕾舞短裙). I was so happy.As I stepped backstage, I couldnt wait to see Mommy and Grandmothers faces; they would be so proud of me.Grandparents, mothers, fathers and friends started to pour into the room. My eyes searched wildly for my mother and grandmother. All around me I saw each performer holding her bouquet (花束) of flowers in their arms. “Esther.” I heard my name being called.“Mommy,” I replied, rushing into her arms. My eyes glanced over to my grandmother. There were no flowers. Was I not good enough? Why didnt I get flowers? Tears began to stream down my cheeks.“Esther, whats the matter? You were so good on stage. Why are you crying?”“Flowers,” I said, as I started to cry uncontrollably. “Where are my flowers?”My mother was upset and said that this was the first recital (独舞表演) in your family so she did not know about this tradition. My grandmother said that she didnt know she should bring flowers, either. My mother drew me into her arms. My tears got absorbed into her sweater.On our way home along the riverside, which was dotted with wildflowers, our car stopped. My grandmother picked a bouquet of flowers for me. She told me that I was her perfect dancer. This made the waterfall on my face run even faster.As I look back on that day of my first dance recital, I realized that the bouquet my grandmother had picked for me was the most meaningful and loving bouquet that I would ever receive. Each flower that she picked was a flower of love.25. Why did the author cry after seeing her mother and grandmother?A. She was very nervous. B. She was extremely happy and excited.C.

Cheers, ta or even wicked is the more likely response, if a survey（调查） is to be believed.Research among computer users suggests that people have stopped using the traditional expression of gratitude（感激）.Almost half of those surveyed said they now use cheers more often than thank you.Four out of ten said thank you sounded too formal and made people feel unnatural- so they used more attractive, chatty words such as fab, lovely or wicked. A third said they would often just use a quick wave instead of saying thank you. And 77 percent said that any of the words used to say thanks were irrelevant, believing a pleasant gesture works just as well. The survey of 3,000 people was carried out by the online gift store Me to You.Spokesman Caroline Weaver said, While the great British public might feel uncomfortable saying thank you these days, they do like to show their gratitude in other ways. People in the survey felt it didnt matter how you thanked someone for their kind actions, as long as you did so in a friendly and polite way. Most importantly, everyone knows that a big smile and some form of acknowledgment is all it takes to show we are grateful.Two thirds of people in the survey believed Britain was a rude nation and 84 percent thought others should make more of an effort to show gratitude.29. Among people surveyed most _.A. consider thank you attractive words B. use wicked more often than thank youC. think a gesture can also express gratitude D. use a quick wave instead of saying thank you30. The underlined part “did so” in the fourth paragraph refers to “_”.A. did good deeds B. showed gratitude C. said thank you D. presented a big smile31. What can be inferred from the survey?A. Computer users like formal words. B. Most British people consider themselves friendly.C. People sometimes get embarrassed at saying thank you.D. Computer users are more likely to do people a kindness.DCan I see my baby? the happy new mother asked. When the baby was lying in her arms and she moved the fold of cloth to look upon his tiny face, she gasped(喘气). The doctor turned quickly and looked out of the tall hospital window. The baby had been born without ears.Time proved that the babys hearing was perfect. It was only his appearance that was imperfect. When he rushed home from school one day and threw himself into his mothers arms, she sighed, knowing that his life was to be unfortunate. He cried out the tragedy, A boy, a big boy called me a freak(怪人).He grew up, handsome. A favourite with his fellow students, he might have been class president, but for that. He developed a gift, a talent for literature and music. “But you might communicate with other young people,” his mother blamed him, but he felt a kindness in her heart.Two years went by. One day, his father said to the son, “Youre going to the hospital, son. Mother and I have someone who will donate the ears you need. But its a secret.” The operation was a brilliant success, and a new person emerged.Later he married and entered the diplomatic service. One day, he asked his father, “Who gave me the ears? Who gave me so much? I could never do enough for him or her.” “ I do not believe you could,” said the father, “but the agreement was that you are not to know not yet.”The years kept their secret, but the day did come. He stood with his father over his mothers casket, Slowly. Tenderly, the father stretched forth a hand and raised the thick, reddish brown hair to reveal the mother had no outer ears“Mother said she was glad she never let her hair be cut,” his father whispered, gently, “and nobody ever thought Mother less beautiful, did they?”32.
