A letter to Mum and her mince (肉末) pies

    When I was a little girl, you and I loved decorating the living room and Christmas tree. After         1       , we would bake cakes. "Make enough mince pies, because Santa likes them," you would tell me.

    Christmas Eve came and you would put me on my         2        made bed. I'd fall asleep until Christmas         3       . I'd wake up and thrill at the         4        before me. At the bottom of my bed would be loads of presents. I'd scream in delight,         5        tearing the paper open. Running downstairs, I would         6        that Santa hadn't just stopped in the         7        : there were also lots of         8        around the Christmas tree.

    Many years later, the         9        continued. The only thing that         10        was the presents at the end of the bed – I grew out of them.

    One afternoon while we were         11        extra mince pies as usual, it         12        hit me that the extra wasn't for         13       . I said, "Those extra mince pies were never for Santa, were they? They were for you!" You never said a word – a smile was your only         14       .

    Christmas changed in 1986, when you suffered a         15        brain disease. After         16        throughout Christmas, you passed away on the 29 December.

    Only now am I starting to enjoy Christmas again, and while I don't do the         17        any more, I do have mince pies in the house. I leave one out just for you, as if you were         18        a part of my Christmas. And I make sure I put up the decorations         19        you, and us. Thanks for the         20        memories of Christmas, Mum.

三、阅读理解（共2题；共24分）

（一）

    Danielle Steel, America's sweetheart, is one of the hardest working women in the book business. Unlike other productive authors who write one book at a time, she can work on up to five. Her research before writing takes at least three years. Once she has fully studied her subjects, ready to dive into the book, she can spend twenty hours nonstop at her desk.

    Danielle Steel comes from New York and was sent to France for her education. After graduation, she worked in the public relations and advertising industries. Later she started a job as a writer which she was best fit for. Her achievements are unbelievable: 390 million copies of books in print, nearly fifty New York Times best-selling novels, and a series of "Max and Martha" picture books for children to help them deal with the real-life problems of death, new babies and new schools. Her 1998 book about the death of her work shot to the top of the New York Times best-selling list as soon as it came out. Twenty-eight of her books had been made into films. She is listed in the Guinness Book of World Records for one of her books being the Times best-seller for 381 weeks straight.

    Not satisfied with a big house, a loving family, and a view of the Golden GateBridge, Danielle Steel considers her readers to be the most important resource and has kept in touch with them by e-mail. While she is often compared to the heroines of her own invention, her life is undoubtedly much quieter. But, if she does have anything in common with them, it is her strength of will and her inimitable (独特的) style. There is only one Danielle Steel.

（1）Danielle Steel is different from other writers because _____________.           

A.she can write several books at the same time

B.she often does some research before writing a book

A.how to deal with affairs at school

C.what to do when new babies are born into their families

A.some TV plays were based on her books

B.her picture books attracted a lot of young men

C.one of her books became a best-seller in 1998

D.she wrote the Guinness Book of World Records

D.is pleased with her achievements

（二）

    Michael and I did not know when the waiter put the plates on our table. At the time we were sitting in a small restaurant, hidden from the busy Third Street, in New York City. Even the smell of fresh serving blintze did not interfered our conversation. In fact, we let the blintze soaked in the sour cream. We just enjoy the conversation too much that we forgot to eat. Our conversation was so delightful though we did not speak about important things. We laughed and spoke about the film which we have just watched.

    While our fun conversation continued, my eyes went across the room and stop on the corner. A couple of old folks sat in there. The woman wearing the flower dress with faded color, the same with the pillow where she laid her pallid handbag. The man's top head shined just like the boiled egg which he ate very slowly. The woman chewed her oatmeal(燕麦片) very slowly too, seemed with very much effort.

    But what made my mind thought about them was the silence around them. Michael and I paid our food and went on. When we passed the corner where the couple sat, my wallet fell. When I stopped to get it, I saw under the table, they were tenderly holding each other's hand. They were eating in silence while holding each other's hand! I was very touched to see the simple yet the very meaningful action reflecting the close relationship of the couple.

    Their silence was the pleasant and relaxing one, it was the expression of the tender love and it did not always need the words to express it. They might spend the hours holding each other's hand like this in the morning.

    When I and Michael went out of the restaurant, I thought, maybe it was nothing bad at all if some day we have something like that. Maybe, it will become the expression of the tender and complete love.

（1）From the first paragraph we may know the fact that the author and Michael ___________.           

A.saw a film just now

B.were talking about something important

C.talked about a film about the couple

D.laughed when they were eating

（2）What did the author see on the corner of the restaurant?           

A.A boiled egg.   B.A wallet.    C.Two people.     D.Delicious food.

（3）We can infer from the passage that ___________.           

A.the author paid little attention to the couple

B.the couple kept talking while eating

C.the author paid for the couple's food

D.the author was moved by the couple's action

（4）Why did the author think the silence around the old couple pleasant and relaxing? （     ）         

A.Because they had nothing important to talk about.

B.Because the silence expressed the tender love between them.

C.Because they spent hours keeping in silence every morning.

D.Because they were eating very slowly.

Dear Jack,

    Thanks for your e-mail. I'm glad to tell you something about Chinese Spring Festival.

    As you know, the Spring Festival is the most important festival in China, just like Christmas in the west. It falls on the last day of the lunar year and lasts until the Lantern Festival.

    Before the festival comes, people clean and decorate their houses to welcome the New Year. On New Year's Eve people usually get together to watch annual Spring Festival Gala Evening on TV while eating delicious food. During the festival people go from house to house to pay a New Year visit to their relatives and friends.

    As a child, I like the Spring Festival very much because I can set off firecrackers and get pocket money from my parents and relatives as well.

    How do you like the Spring Festival? I look forward to hearing from you.

Yours,

Li Hua
