I am not the person I   48 was, but in many ways I have changed for the   49 . I’ve been surprised to learn that there is incredible freedom coming form  50 one’s worst fear and walking away whole. I believe there is strength, for sure, in accepting a dark period of our life.

Night after night, as was often the case, she’d lean down and push my long hair out of the  36 ,then kiss my forehead.
I don’t remember when it first started   37  me. But it did. Finally one night, I shouted out as her, “Don’t do that any more – your hands are too   38 ！” She didn’t say anything in reply. But never again did my mother   39  my day with that familiar   40  of her love.
With the years passing, my thoughts   41 to that night, when I missed my mother’s hands, missed her goodnight   42  on my forehead. Sometimes the incident seemed very   43 , while sometimes far away. But always it was hidden in the back of my   44 . Now Mom is in her seventies, and those hands that I   45  thought to be so rough are still doing things for me and my   46 . And now my own children are grown and gone. One Thanksgiving Eve,   47  I slept in the bedroom of my youth, a   48  hand hesitantly run across my face to   49  the hair from my forehead. Then a kiss, ever so   50 , touched my brow.
In my memory, for the thousandth time, I recalled the night and my young voice   51 . “Don’t do that any more – your hands are too rough!”   52 , I caught Mom’s hand in hand, saying how   53 I was for that night. I thought she’d remember, as I did. But Mom didn’t know   54  I was talking about. She had forgotten, and forgiven long ago.
That night, I fell asleep with a new   55  for my gentle mother and her caring hands. And the guilt that I had carried around for so long was nowhere to be found.

After they were back, every day in the morning and dusk, my mother helped my father   41  on the country road．
“Dad, how are you feeling now?” I asked him one day.
“Susan, don’t  42  me.” he said gently. “To tell you the truth, I just like walking with your mom.”  43  his eyes, I know he loves my mother deeply.
Once I thought love meant flowers, gifts and  44 . But from this experience, I understand that love is just  45  in the quilt of our life. Love is inside, making life strong and warm.

We are going on a long train journey. Out of the windows, we can see cars running on nearby highways, children waving at a crossing, cattle grazing（吃草） on a distant hillside, smoke pouring from factories, village houses and city skylines.
But   36  in our minds is the final destination（目的地）. On a certain day at a certain hour, we will  37  into the station. Bands will be playing and flags   38  . Once we get there, so many wonderful dreams will   39  and the pieces of our lives will fit together like a(n)   40   jigsaw（拼圖） puzzle. How restlessly we pace the aisles（過道）, damning（詛咒） the minutes for waiting, waiting for the station.

So   52  pacing the aisles and counting the miles.   53  , climb more mountains, eat more ice cream, go barefoot（赤腳） more   54  , swim more rivers, watch more sunsets, laugh more and cry less. Life must be lived   55  we go along. The station will come soon enough.

科目：高中英語 來源：不詳 題型：閱讀理解

I have a painfully vivid memory of my first homecoming from college, in December 1983. After three whole months away, I was back home with my brand new opinions, attitudes and tastes. How could they watch such terrible television programs? I, the English Literature major with Shakespeare and Milton and James Joyce, could hardly bear to sleep under the roof of a house whose few bookshelves held thrillers and bound editions of the Reader’s Digest. I’m sure my family was glad to see the back of me when, at the end of the holiday, I packed up my books and headed back up to university in the north of England.
But the next year must have been even more painful to my parents: I didn’t show up at all. Now, I don’t think there’s anything wrong with young people spending a little time away from their families and with their friends.  It’s part of growing up, something you need to do if you are to become properly independent. However, if you’re not going to be home for the festival, you should at least have the decency to telephone and say you’re not coming.
In English we have an expression, “wet behind the ears.” A person who is wet behind the ears is so immature, that they don’t know how to dry the back of their head after a bath. Just before the following year’s holiday I fell ill, quite seriously so. I’m sure my own behavior contributed to my getting sick: staying out too late, not eating properly—perhaps you know someone like the person I was then. I lay in bed with a fever, feeling very sorry for myself.
I’m sure you can guess who came to my rescue. My long-suffering parents got in their car and sped up the motorway to rescue their son from the consequences of his own irresponsibility.
I hope I’m a better son now; if not, it’s getting a little late in the day if I want to change. I’ve worked in China for nearly 10 years and so I don’t get to see them as often as I like, but my parents are online all the time so we talk many times each week. And this Spring Festival I will be flying back to England for a visit. 
I’m really looking forward to it.
