my fathers crocuses bloomed each spring for the next four or five seasons, bringing the same assurance every time they arrived: hard times was almost over. hold on, keep going, light is coming soon. then a spring came with only half the usual blooms. the next spring there were none. i missed the crocuses. i would ask dad to come over and plant new bulbs. but i never did. he died suddenly one october day. my family was in deep sorrow, leaning on our faith. i missed him terribly. four years passed, and on a dismal spring afternoon i was driving back when i found myself feeling depressed. “youve got the winter depression again and you get them every year.” i told myself. it was dads birthday, and i found myself thinking about him. this was not unusual - my family often talked about him, remembering how he lived his faith. once i saw him give his coat to a homeless man. suddenly i slowed as i turned into our driveway. i stopped and stared at the lawn. and there on the muddy grass and small gray piles of melting snow, bravely waving in the wind, was one pink crocus. how could a flower bloom from a bulb more than 18 years old, one that had not blossomed in over a decade? but there was the crocus. tears filled my eyes as i realized its significance.hold on, keep going, light is coming soon. the pink crocus bloomed for only a day. but it built my faith for a lifetime.53. according to the first three paragraphs, we learn that _.a. the writer was unpacking when her father was making the surpriseb. the writer knew what the surprise was because she knew her fatherc. it was not the first time that the writers father had made a surprised. it kept bothering the writer not knowing what the surprise was54. which of the following would most probably be the worst time of the year as seen by the writer?a. spring. b. summer.c. autumn. d. winter.55. the writers father should be best described as_.a. a full-time gardener with skillful handsb. a part-time jobber who loved flowersc. a kind-hearted man who lived with faithd. an ordinary man with doubts in his life56. at the end of the passage, crocus was viewed as the symbol of _ by the writer.a. beliefb. familyc. loved. friendship第二节：下面文章中有5处（第57-60题）需要添加小标题。请从以下选项（a、b、c、 d、e ）中选出符合各段意思的小标题，并在答题纸上将相应选项的标号涂黑。选项中有一项是多余选项。a.lend a hand. b.keep your eyes open.c.be seen, but not be heard.d.volunteer in your community.e.keep your home safe and attractive.tips for being a good neighbor57. _no one likes a noisy neighbor. do you hold parties that last all night?
