One of my wongerful memories is about a Christmas gift. Unlike other gifts,it came without wrap（包装）。?On September 11,1958, Mum gave birth to Richard. After she brought him home from hospital,she put him in my lap,saying,”I promised you a gift,and here it is .” What an honor! I turned four a month earlier and none of my friends had such a baby doll of their own. I played with it day and night. I sang to it. I told it stories. I told it over and over how much I loved it!One morning, however, I found its bed empty. My doll was gone! I cried for it. Mun? wept and told me that the poor little thing had been sent to a hospital. It had a fever. For several days, I head mum and Dad whispering such words as “hopeless”,“pitiful”，and “dying”, which sounded?ominous.Christmas was coming, don’t expect any presents this year ”Dad said, pointing at the socks I hung in the living room.I’d never seen him cry before.The phone rang early on Christmas morning. Dad jumped out of bed to answer it. From my bedroom I heard him say.”what? he’s all right?” he hung up and shouted upstairs.”The hospital said we can bring Richard home! ”“thank god!”I heard Mum cry.From the upstairs window. I watched my parents rush out to the car. I had never seen them so happy. And I was also full of joy. What a wonderful day! My baby doll would be home. I ran downstairs. My socks still hung there flat. But I knew they was not empty: they were filled with love!? 21. what happened to the author on September 11 1958 ?A He got a baby brother?B He got a C hristmas? gift?C? He became four yesrs old?D?

?I came to study in the United States a year ago .Yet I did not know the real American society until I was injured in a car accident because after the accident I had to see a doctor and go to court.??? After the accident .my roommate called a doctor for me. I was very grateful and determined to repay him one day. But the next day, he asked me to pay him $200 for what he had done. I was astonished.

And only a good doctor can help me get a good lawyer .Now that he had helped me find a good doctor, it was only fair that I should pay him.??? But every day I went to see the doctor, I had to wait about 50 minutes. He would see two or three patients at the same time, and often stop treating one so as to see another.

?When I was about 12, I had an enemy, a girl who liked to point out my shortcomings(缺点). Wee k by week her list grew: I was very thin, I wasn’t a good student, I talked too much, I was too proud, and so on. I tried to hear all this as long as I could. At last, I became very angry. I ran to my father with tears in my eyes.?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????He listened to me quietly, then he asked. “Are the things she says true or not? Janet, didn’t you ever wonder what you’re really like ? Well, you now have that girl’s opinion. Go and make a list of everything she said and mark the points that are true. Pay no attention to the other things she said.”??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????I did as he told me. To my great surprise, I discovered that about half the things were true. Some of them I couldn’t change (like being very thin), but a good number I could—and suddenly I wanted to change. For the first time I go to fairly clear picture of myself.?????????????I brought the list back to Daddy. He refused to take it.“That’s just for you,” he said.“You know better than anyone else the truth about yourself. But you have to learn to listen, not just close your ears in anger and feeling hurt. When something said about you is true, you’ll find it will be of help to you. Our world is full of people who think they know your duty. Don’t shut your ears. Listen to them all, but hear the truth and do what you know is the right thing to do.”????????????????????Daddy’s advice has returned to me at many important moments. In my life, I’ve never had a better piece of advice.???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????29.

He refused to take the list and have a look at it.???????????????????????????????????30. What does “Week by week her list grew” mean?????????????????????????????????????A. Week by week she discovered more shortcomings of mine and pointed them out to me.???B. She had made a list of my shortcomi ngs and she kept on adding new ones to it so that it was growing longer and longer.??????????????????????????????????????????????????C. I was having more and more shortcomings as time went on.?????????????????????????D. Week by week, my shortcomings grew more serious.??????????????????????????31.
