She got the women from both sides whose husband or son was for the North or against the North to agree to meet together just to start friendships. Mrs. Jarvis started a “Mothers Friendship Meeting” every month. As the women met and talked and sometimes prayed（祈祷）together for the safe return for their husbands and sons from the Civil War, they began to form real friendships. When the Civil War finally ended in 1865, the soldiers returned home. When the returning Northern soldiers, who wore the blue uniforms of the Union, would meet men wearing the grey uniforms of the Confederacy（南方联邦）, fights would break out. Mrs. Jarvis had an idea. If the mothers of those angry men had been able to become friends through meeting and talked together, wouldnt the same thing work with their husbands and sons? Her plan was to ask each mother in her Meeting group and as many other mothers possible to invite one or more of the returned soldiers to the next Mothers Friendship Meeting. Every one of the soldiers was invited since these were mostly Christians（基督徒）or from Christian families. They sang the familiar songs about Gods love for them. And of course the husbands and sons were thankful that God had brought them home in spite of all the dangers. The attitude of the meeting changed. And by the end many of the men who had been hating and fighting with each other for the past three years on the street of the town shook hands and walked out of the door of that Mothers Friendship Meeting together as friends. The whole attitude changed from that day.68In order to reach the friendships between the North and South, Mrs Jarviss first step was to_. Apray for the safe return of the womens husbands and sons. Bstop the Civil War from continuing Cmake the women from both sides meet together every month Dmake the soldiers from both sides meet together every month69Another reason for the soldiers stopping fighting was that_. Athey had returned safely Bthey had escaped dangers of death Cthey could sing some familiar songs Dthey were mostly Christians70Mrs. Jarviss hard work led to the fact that_. Athe town took on a new look Bthe men were thankful to their wives or mothers Cthe men who had been hating each other became friends Dthe men hated each other for three years.第二节 （共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 There are many reasons for people to study abroad. One is that you can have the chance to make yourself know about the culture of the place.
