No card came with it Calls to the flower-shop were not helpful at all. After a while I stopped trying to discover the senders name and just delighted in the beautiful white flower in soft pink paper.But I never stopped imagining who the giver might be. Some of my happiest moments were spent daydreaming about the sender. My mother encouraged these imaginings. Shed ask me if there was someone for whom I had done special kindness. Perhaps it was the old man across the street whose mail Id delivered during the winter. As a girl, though, I had more fun imagining that it might be a boy I had run into.One month before my graduation, my father died. I felt so sad that I became completely uninterested in my upcoming graduation dance, and I didnt care if I had a new dress or not. But my mother, in her own sadness, would not let me miss any of those things. She wanted her children to feel loved and lovable. In truth, my mother wanted her children to see themselves much like the gar-denia-lovely, strong and perfect with perhaps a bit of mystery(神秘)My mother died ten days after I was married. I was 22.

It is well attended by tourists, but even better attended by locals.During the opening ceremonies, after the official greetings from the government leaders, people who attend the festival begin to march smartly before the viewing stands, and white camels transport their riders across the sands. Horsemen from different nations display their beautiful clothes and their fine horsemanship. One following another, groups of musicians and dancers from all over the Sahara take their turn to show off their wonderful traditional culture. Groups of men in blue and yellow play horns and beat drums as they dance in different designs. On their knees in the sand, a group of women in long dark dresses dance with their hair: their long, dark, shiny hair is thrown back and forth in the wind to the rhythm of their dance.The local and visiting Italian dogs are anxious to run after hares. The crowd is on its feet for the camel races. Camels and riders run far into the distance, and then return to the finish Line in front of the cheering people.Towards the evening, there comes the grand finale of the opening day, an extremely exciting horserace. All the riders run very fast on horseback. Some riders hang off the side of their saddles. Some even ride upside down - their legs and feet straight up in the air - all at full speed. Others rush down the course together, men arm in arm, on different horses. On and on they went. SO fast and so wonderful!39.

Swedish businessman Nile Bergqvist is delighted with his new hotle, the worlds first igloo hotel. Built in a small town in Lapland, it has been attracting lots of visitors, but soon the fun will be over.In two weeks time Bergqvists ice creation (作品)will be nothing more than a pool of water. “We dont see ti as a big problem, ” he says. “We just look forward to replacing it.”Bergqvist built his first igloo in 1991 for an art exhibition. It was so successful that he disgned the present one, which measures roughly 200 square meters. Six workmen spent more than eight weeks piling 1,000 tons of snow onto a wooden base; when the snow froze, the base was removed. “The only wooden thing we have left in the igloo is the front door,” he says.After their stay, all visitors receive a survival certificate recording their success. With no windows, nowhere to hang clothes and temperatures below 0C, it may seem more like a survival test than a relaxing (轻松的)hotel break. “Its great fun, ” Bergqvist explains, “as well as a good start in survival training.”The popularity of the igloo is beyond doubt: it is now attracting tourists from all over the world. At least 800 people have stayed at the igloo this season even though there are only 10 rooms. “You can get a lot of people in, ” explains Bergqvist. “The beds are three meters wide by two meters long, and can fit at least four at one time.”43. Bergqvist designed and built the worlds first igloo hotel because_.A. he believed people would enjoy trying something newB. he wanted to make a name for the small townC. an art exhibition was about to openD. more hotel rooms were needed44.

They have had an ice-snow holidayC. they have had great fun sleeping on ice D. they have had a taste of adventureDMore American people take their troubles with them on holiday, according to a new survey. Although 40 percent said that the main reason for going away is to escape pressure (压力) from work, almost all said they worry more than they do at home. Only four in every 100 said that they are happy and free of care.The most common worry is burglary ( 入室盗窃) , with four out of 10 worrying about their homes being broken into while theyre abroad. More than a quarter fear they will feel crazy with some other noisy and rough holiday-makers and 22 percent worry they may be attacked or their possessions will be missing. One in five think the car may break down; and the same number worry about the chances of bad weather.The survey also showed that the stay-at-home Americans are no more. Three out of every five want to have a holiday abroad, a great increase from the figures only three years ago. The hotel holiday is still a winner, with about one third of all Americana preferring to go on a self-catering ( 自助 ) holiday.47.

Bushes must be pruned (剪枝) in early spring, leaving ugly woody branches until the new growth appears a few weeks later. It was the space available (可用的) in the garden that led me into planting just one little tomato plant. A big mistake.Soil conditions made just perfect for roses turn out to be even more perfect for tomatoes. The daily watering coupled with full sun and regular fertilizing (施肥) have turned the little plant into a tall bush. The cage I placed around it as the plant grew has long since disappeared under the thick leaves.Now the task I face in harvesting the fruit is twofold: First, I have to find the red ones among the leaves, which means I almost have to stand on my head, and once found I have to reach down and under, p0ick the tomatoes and withdraw (缩回) my full fist without dropping the prize so dearly won. I found two full-blown white roses completely hidden as I picked tomatoes in June, but they were weak and the leaves already yellow for lack of light.Here I am faced with a painful small decision: To tear up a wonderful and productive tomato plant that offers up between ten and twenty ripe sweet tomatoes each day or say goodbye to several expensive and treasured roses. Like Scarlett in Gone With the Wind, Ill think about that tomorrow.51What are the requirements for the healthy growth of roses?AA lot of care and the right soilBFrequent p0runing and fertilizing.CTomato plants grown alongside.DCages placed around the roots.52The writer planted the tomato because _Ait cost only $ 1.25Bthe soil was just right for itCthere was room for it in the gardenDthe roses branches needed to be covered53.This year the writers roses were _.Aremoved from the rose bedBpicked along with the tomatoesCmostly damaged by too much sunlightDlargely hidden under the tomato plant54.By saying “the prize so dearly won” in paragraph 5, the writer wants to _.Ashow the difficulty in picking the tomatoesBshow the hardsh
