One afternoon I toured an art museum while waiting for my husband to finish a business meeting. I was looking forward to a quiet   21  of the splendid artwork.
A young   22  viewing the paintings ahead of me   23  nonstop between themselves. I watched them a moment and decided the lady was doing all the talking. I admired the man’s   24  for putting up with her   25  stream of words.   26  by their noise, I moved on.
I met them several times as I moved   27  the various rooms of art. Each time I heard her continuous flow of words, I moved away   28 .
I was standing at the counter of the museum gift shop making a   29  when the couple approached the   30 . Before they left, the man   31  into his pocket and pulled out a white object. He   32  it into a long stick and then   33  his way into the coatroom to get his wife’s jacket.
“He’s a   34  man,” the clerk at the counter said. “Most of us would give up if we were blinded at such a young age. During his recovery, he made a promise his life wouldn’t change. So, as before, he and his wife come in   35  there is a new art show.”
“But what does he get out of the art?” I asked. “He can’t see.”
“Can’t see! You’re   36 . He sees a lot. More than you and I do,” the clerk said. “His wife   37  each painting so he can see it in his head.”
I learned something about patience,   38  and love that day. I saw the patience of a young wife describing paintings to a person without   39  and the courage of a husband who would not   40  blindness to change his life. And I saw the love shared by two people as I watched this couple walk away, their arms intertwined.

There was only one way to get money, and that was to   27  it. He would have to find a job.   28  who would hire him and what could he do? He decided to ask Mr. Clay for advice ,who usually had   29  on most things.
“Well, you can start right here, ”said Mr. Clay. “My windows need cleaning and my car needs washing. ”

It was the old lady’s eightieth birthday. She was sure Myra wouldn’t forgot her mother’s birthday, even if she was busy. After all, eighty was a special birthday. Perhaps Myra might come. Even if Myra did not come, she would send a present. The old lady was sure of that. Two spots of colour brightened her cheeks. She was excited like a child.
Mrs. Morrison had brought a card and a bunch of flowers when she came to do the breakfast. Mrs. Grant downstairs had made a cake. Johnnie, the little boy next door, was now up with her with a packet of sweets.
“I guess you’ll get lots and lots of presents, ” he said. “I did last week when I was six.”
What would she like? A pair of slippers, perhaps. A blue new cardigan. Or a table lamp. Or a little clock, with clear black numbers. So many lovely things.
She stood by the window, watching. The postman turned round the corner on his bicycle. Her heart beat fast. Johnnie had seen him too and ran to the gate.
“Granny, granny, ” Johnnie returned. “I’ve got your post!”
He gave her four envelopes. Three were from old friends. The fourth was in Myra’s writing.
“No parcel(包裹), Johnnie?”
“No, granny.”
Almost reluctantly, she tore the fourth envelope open. Folded in the card was a check. Written on the card was a message: Happy Birthday—Buy yourself something nice with the check, Myra and Harold.
The six-figure check fell to the floor like a bird with a broken wing. Slowly the old lady bent to pick it up. Her present, her lovely present. With trembling fingers she tore it into little bits.

Years after throwing a bottle-up note into a lake for a class project and just one year after his death, a man’s childhood message was found and returned to his mother.
Eleven years ago, a then 10-year-old boy, Joshua Baker, wrote the message, folded and put it in an empty container, his mother, Maggie Holbrook said. He died last February in a motor vehicle accident in California. He had recently returned after a serving in the Middle East as a US marine. “I think he was just letting us know he was OK and keep doing what we are doing.” Holbrook said.
The message surfaced in White Lake in late April, just days after the 11th anniversary of its being thrown into the lake. It was found by one of Baker’s closest friends, Steve Lieder, she said. Lieder and two friends were chatting near the lake when Lieder looked down and saw the bottle. He broke it open and found the note inside.
“My name is Joshua Baker. I am 10. If you find this, put it on the news. The date is 4/16/98.” They immediately took it to Holbrook, who said she is now having the note preserved and will display it in her home.
She can remember when her son wrote the message for the school project. She said she always wondered why he didn’t put it in the nearby Wolf River, which has a much stronger current.
“I still remember the day he wrote it, ” Holbrook said. “I couldn’t understand why he threw I in the lake. No one would never see it again. Now I know.”
小题1:What was Joshua Baker when he died in motor vehicle accident in California?
A.An officialB.A soldierC.A workerD.A teacher
小题2: Which of the following statements is correct according to the passage?
A.The man threw the bottle into the lake without any purpose.
B.The man didn’t put the bottle into the nearby river because it had a strong current.
C.Not until recently did his mother understand why he put the bottle into the lake.
D.The man made the bottle-up note so as to let his parents know he was OK.
小题3:The best title for this passage would be___.
A.A man’s Bottle Message Found After His Death
B.A Ridiculous and Unbelievable Bottle Message
C.A Strange Bottle-up Note Appearing In a Lake
D.An Important Childhood Message 11 Years After His Death
