As I got older, we didn’t play the game as 24  as before. If I had a   25  , I would go to my father and   26   his advice.

My husband Ollie had retired from teaching and we were making plans to travel together to Florida. Then he was terribly ill and became very weak, hardly able to speak. Weeks passed and it became clear that Ollie was near death, but I prayed day and night that he could get better.
One of us was always in Ollie’s hospital room—either me, or our grown children, Bruce and Karen. One day, in his broken and weak speech, Ollie told Bruce, “Go home. You should be with Gwen.” Gwen was Bruce’s wife. They had been married for six years and lived hundreds of miles away. Gwen was about to have a baby. We felt an extra sadness, knowing Ollie would never see his first grandchild.
“I don’t want to leave you, Dad,” Bruce said. Ollie repeated, “You should be with Gwen.” Reluctantly, Bruce left. “When the baby comes,” he promised Ollie, “you will be the first to know.” A few days later, around 2 p.m., Ollie awoke from a sleep. He turned and looked at me. I sat close to hear his weak words. “The baby is coming now. It’s a boy,” he said. For a moment his eyes were filled with tears. Then he went back to sleep again. Not long after that, Karen ran into the room. “Bruce called,” she said, a smile lighting her face. “Gwen gave birth to a healthy baby boy around two o’ clock.”
Ollie smiled; he had been the first to know. That night, Ollie died in his sleep.
小題1:Ollie didn’t travel to Florida because________.
A．he was too weak to travel
B．he could hardly be able to speak
C．he could not afford the trip
D．he was waiting for his grandchild to be born
小題2:Why did Ollie want Bruce to be with Gwen?
A．Ollie thought it was too much trouble for Bruce to stay at hospital.
B．Ollie wanted Bruce to bring the baby along as soon as it was born.
C．Ollie didn’t want his son to be absent when his baby was born.
D．Ollie couldn’t bear his son seeing him dying with a broken heart.
小題3:The underlined word in Paragraph 3 is closest in meaning to_______.
A．DisappointedlyB．UnwillinglyC．ExcitedlyD．Immediately
小題4:What can we learn from the passage ?
A．Ollie and his wife had planned to settle in Florida.
B．Ollie cared for his son more than his daughter.
C．Ollie was sad about not being able to see his first grandchild.
D．Ollie died happy and in peace.

EVERYONE NEEDS FRIENDS
Everyone needs friends.We all like to feel close to someone.It is nice to have a friend to talk,laugh and do things with.Surely,there are times when we need to be alone.We don’t always want people around.But we would feel lonely if we never had a friend.
No two people are just the same.Sometimes friends don’t get along well.That doesn’t mean that they no longer like each other.Most of the time they will make up and go on being friends.
Sometimes friends move away.Then we feel very sad.We miss them very much.But we call them and write to them.It could be that we would neven see them again.And we can make new friends.It is surprising to find out how much we like new people when we get to know them.
Families sometimes name their children after a close friend.Many people are named after men or women who have been friendly to people in a town.Some libraries are named this way.So are some schools.We think of these people when we go to these places.
There is more good news for people who have friends.They live longer than people who don’t.Why?It could be that they are happier.Being happy helps you stay well.Or it could be just knowing that someone cares.If someone cares about you,you take better care of yourself.
