Mother’s  Day  is coming,a gentleman stopped his car out of a  flower  shop.  He  wanted  to order a bunch of  flowers  and asked them to deliver it to his mother,who  was far  in his hometown.

He saw a girl crying on the road when he was about to enter the shop. The gentleman walked up to her and asked, “Hi,kid. Why are you crying?”

“I want to buy a rose for my mother,but I don’t have enough money,” said the little girl.

Hearing that,the gentleman felt sorry for the girl. So he grasped the girl’s hand and entered the flower shop. He first ordered a bouquet(花束）for his mother,and then bought a rose for the girl.

Walking out of the shop,the gentleman said he would drive the girl home. uWould you really like to drive me home?” the girl asked pleasantly.

“Of course!” the man answered.

“Then would you please drive me to my mother? But sir,the place where my mother lives is a bit far from here. ”

Following the way the girl showed,the gentleman drove out of the downtown,along the winding mountain road，and finally came to the cemetery(墓地）.

The little girl put the flower close to a new  grave. In  order  to  present a rose to her  mother who just passed away a month ago,she took a long  journey.

The gentleman drove the girl to her home,and then  returned  to the flower shop.  He canceled the  order for the bouquet to his mother,and then bought  a big  bunch of fresh flowers  instead. He drove directly to his mother’s home,which was a five-hour drive from there. He would present the flowers to his mother himself.

No matter how far your mother is away from you,it’s never too late for you to give a bunch of flowers to her yourself.

(   ) 1. Why was the little girl crying on the road?

A. Because she lost her purse there.

B. Because she didn’t know the way to her mother.

C. Because her mother left her alone there.

D. Because she didn’t have enough money to buy her mother  a rose.

(   ) 2. It was not until the gentleman drove to the cemetery,did he  know  that         .

A. the girl’s mother was working in the cemetery

B. the girl’s mother was no longer living there

C. the girl’s mother had already been dead for a month

D. the girl’s mother lived really far away

(   ) 3. The word “canceled” probably means         .

A. gave up     B. gave away  C. called     off  D. called for

(   ) 4. Which of the following is true according to the passage?

A. The gentleman changed his mind and gave the flowers to his mother in person.

B. The gentleman knew the girl’s mother very well.

C. It was about a five-hour drive from the flower shop to the girl’s hometown.

D. The gentleman bought a bouquet for the girl.

(   ) 5. Which would be the best title for the passage?

You can see the ‘No Smoking’ sign—we don’t allow(允許)smoking in the wards. I’m sure you understand why. However,if you do need to smoke,there are some smoking-rooms where it is allowed.
