During the last few years of his life, my dad lived just up the road from me in a tiny house. He had been alone for over 20 years after I lost my mom. His own mother had recently passed away too. He was disabled and retired so he spent a lot of time alone.
Several times a week, though, I would take a walk up to his house. We would sit in the living room, drink tea and talk. It wasn't anything big. We talked about sports, cars, gardening, weather, and enjoyed a laugh over old memories. It wasn't anything too deep. It was just a simple sharing, a connection between a father and a son. An hour spent just enjoying each other's company. Those afternoons remain some of my happiest times spent with my dad. It allowed us to gently heal(治愈) any old wounds we had given each other when I was growing up. It allowed us to silently give each other time and love. It allowed us to grow closer together before he left this world.
I know that when my own time in this world is done, I will get to spend another afternoon with my dad. We will sit, talk, catch up and quietly enjoy each other's company. We will share all the love we didn't get to share. And we will remember that afternoon forever.
If there is one thing that I learned from those afternoons, it is this: It is never too late to spend time with those you love. It is never too late to tell them that you love them. It is never too late to heal a relationship and mend a hurting heart. Begin today! Spend an afternoon with those you love and those afternoons will become a lifetime.

Dorothy and her friends were nervous to get out of the forest as soon as they could, so they hurried along the yellow brick road. It was not long before they came to a wider river.
“What can we do now? Dorothy cried. “There isn’t a tree tall enough to fall across this river.”
“There's no problem," the Scarecrow said.“The Tin Woodman will build a raft (木筏).”
And this is what the Tin Woodman did. And while he was busy making the raft, Dorothy found some wild fruit and nuts, which she ate hungrily.Then, because it was taking the Tin Woodman a long time to finish the raft, Dorothy lay down and went to sleep.
The night passed without any problems, and the next morning the small raft was ready. Dorothy sat in the middle with Toto. The lion stood at one end and nearly made the boat sink (沉没), because he was so big and heavy.The Scarecrow and the Tin Woodman stood at the other end.They both had long poles (杆子) that they used to push the raft through the water.
At first all went well, but then the river became deep, but the poles could not touch the bottom. The Tin Woodman said, “If we cannot stay near the land and the yellow brick road, the Wicked Witch of the West will use her magic and hurt us."
"And then we won't meet the Wizard, and I won't get any wisdom." the Scarecrow said. “And I won't get a heart,” the Tin Woodman said.
“And I won't get any courage," the Lion said.
"And I'll never get home to Kansas, " Dorothy said. “We must do something.”
The Scarecrow was able to push the raft to the river bank. Dorothy, Toto, the Lion and the Tin Woodman got off before the Scarecrow could get off. However, the boat moved away from the river bank and carried the Scarecrow down the river.
Dorothy said, “Perhaps we’ll meet the raft further down the river. The most important thing now is to get back to the yellow brick road and continue on our way to the City of Emeralds.”
The Lion and the Tin Woodman agreed, and they set off along the river bank. It was not long before they saw the Scarecrow. He was holding onto the pole in the middle of the river.There was no sign of the raft.
58. What probably happened to Dorothy and her friends before this passage?
A. They met the Wizard. B. They met danger in a forest.
C. Their dream came true. D. The Wicked Witch helped them.

Jazzy new signs in subway stations have been catching the eyes of commuters(通勤者) in Washington, D. C. Instead of rushing to get on a train, people stop to read poems written by kids.
The lighted posters, called “Metro Muse” appeared at 10 train stops in the busy city. On display: 12 thoughtful compositions to celebrate kids’ creativity and to promote reading.
Writer Laurie Stroblas began the District Lines Poetry Project in 1994, hoping to give bus riders something better to look at than ads or graffiti. She had been leading poetry workshops in public schools, so she asked her students to lend a hand.
“The response (反应) was unbelievable," says Stroblas. Later she decided to transfer her ideas to the buses and picked new poems with the advice of 150 students. Organizations donated enough money to keep Metro Muse in subway stations all winter. In spring a new crop of poems sprouted(萌芽) on city buses.
What were the poems about? Snow falling,the arrival of a new year, love, fear, and peace. Cindy Rosales, a sixth grade student at Oyster Elementary School was inspired (激励) by her favorite type of music: “Kindness is the jazz," she wrote. “Bring the big jazz in. The big whole jazz." Like most poets, the kids had mixed feelings about letting the public read their private thoughts. “I would feel glad that someone read my poem" one girl said. “But I would feel sad if they missed their train.”
62. Where are the poems posted?
A. In the classroom. B. On the school grounds.
C. Subway stations and trains. D. Subway stations and buses.
63. What are some of the topics of the poems?
A. Love,fear,and peace. B. Death,anger,and war.
C. School tests, and fighting. D. Hope, fear, and rain.
64. Among the following sentences, which is true about the District Lines Poetry Project?
A. The District Lines Poetry Project was started in 1995.
B. The District Lines Poetry Project was set up by Laurie Stroblas.
C. The District Lines Poetry Project was ordered to begin by the President.
D. The District Lines Poetry Project was first for the parents and now for the kids.
65. Which is the best title of the article?
A.The Poetry Pizza B. The Metro Muse
C. Here comes the bus D. Kids First-Poetry Second
