Mom's Recipe for Life

I have a lot of Mom's recipes in a blue box where all my special ones were put，like the

pumpkin pie she made during my growing up years. Even so，the recipe I treasure most is not on any index card， nor did she send it to me in a letter. Instead，she lived this recipe all of her life.

My mother grew up in a small coal mining town in southwest Iowa. My grandfather once told me that she knew no stranger;she considered everyone in that community her friend. That attitude

continued wherever she lived for the rest of her life.

As a teen，I was embarrassed(尷尬的 )every time my mother talked to strangers and offered a smile to everyone in the store or on the city bus. Almost all of them responded(回 應(yīng) )with a bright smile of their own. Some spoke，others nodded their heads at this elderly woman who brought a little light into their day.

What really sold me on Mom's approach to life was her experience on the senior bus. The weeks I could not be there， she used this low cost transportation to the grocery store. After her first trip， I asked her how it went.

“ Ha!”she said，“ I got on that bus and what did I see?Thirteen little old ladies and one old

man，and not one word was spoken.”

I wondered how long it would be until the silence on that bus would change. On my next visit，Mom mentioned the 13 little old ladies on the bus and something one of them had told her.

“ Oh，are you talking with them now?”I asked.

“ Of course，”she said. “ One day I climbed up the steps of the bus and before I looked for a

seat，I gave them a big smile and I said，‘ Isn't it a wonderful day? I noticed a few shy smiles.”

Mom didn't give up. She greeted them all each time she got on the bus and before long，the

whole group was laughing and talking to one another. The bus became more than just transportation.

When we went to the various stores，I watched as she smiled and chatted with perfect strangers. Some of them looked like the poorest person you'd ever met，but once Mom smiled at them and started a conversation， most responded favorably. My mother didn't embarrass me any longer. I found myself admiring her.

She's been gone for ten years but I've carried on her recipe for life. It was me who had done the

smiling first and all those people had responded. My mother didn't lecture but taught me by example. She'd given me a recipe for life.

1.Where did the writer's mom grow up?

2.Did the people talk on the bus on Mom's first trip?

3.What did Mom do to make the bus more than transportation?

4.How did the writer feel about Mom in the end?

5.What is Mom's recipe for life?

1.In a small coal mining town in southwest Iowa. 2.No，they didn't. 3.She greeted them all each time she got on the bus. 4.Proud. 5.The attitude of considering everyone her friend. 【解析】試...

The Venice Historical Regatta

Every year, on the first Sunday of September, the Historical Regatta takes place in Venice. It has been one of the most important festivals in Venice since 1315. In the beginning, the event was organized to celebrate the return of Catherine Carnaro, the queen of Cyprus. Today, it is a celebration of joy and friendship.

The Historical Regatta · is made up of two parts : a parade and a rowing boat competition. The celebration starts with a parade of boats on water. The boats in the parade are colourful, and many of them have golden painting on both sides. People on these ancient-style boats wear clothes from the sixteenth century.

After the parade, there is a competition on the Grand Canal. It is watched by thousands of people. The Regatta is the most important event for every rower. For them, winning on that day means to become part of the history of this sport and of Venice. So rowers all over Venice look forward to joining in and winning this competition.

Traditionally, the 1st place winner was awarded a red flag, while the 2nd, 3rd and 4th place winners received white, green and blue flags. Some other awards were given along with the flags. One of them was a little living pig. But since some animal protection organizations object to this, the pig award has been cancelled.
