I told her about the big old house in Highland where I   42  . When we first   43  there from Mascoutah when I was 5 years old, I was   44  of that house. The yard was full of   45 and the house was falling apart. But my father and mother were intelligent and   46  and we eight kids helped to turn it into a home. All of a sudden, I wasn’t frightened any more.
I told her she must have been very   47  when I decided to go to college to study journalism   48  being a priest（牧師）, which she thought was the highest   49  for a family. But she didn’t show it. She just saw me   50  with my favorite chocolate chip cookies.
When I told her all about Texas,   51  she and father had been to visit me, mother seemed   52   by that Texas beach on which they had taken a   53  . She   54  the trip and kept the picture in the living room all the time.
We had too many stories to tell. It was time for me to say   55  to mother and I told her I’d see her again. “Yeah,” she answered. But I wasn’t able to.

Mark was walking home from school one day when he saw the boy in front of him fall over and drop all of the books. He was carrying, along with two sweaters, a basketball and a walkman（隨身聽）. Mark stopped and helped the boy pick up these things. Since they were going the same way, he helped to carry some of his things. As they walked, Mark knew that the boy’s name was Bill, that he loved computer games, basketball and history, and that he was having lots of trouble with his other subjects and that he had just broken up with his girlfriend.
They arrived at Bill’s home first and Mark was invited in for a Coke and to watch some television. The afternoon passed happily with a few laughs and some small talk, and then Mark went home. They often saw each other at school, had lunch together once or twice, and then they both finished middle school. They ended up in the same high school where they sometimes saw and talked with each other over the years. At last just three weeks before they finished high school, Bill asked Mark if they could talk.
Bill asked Mark if he still remembered the day years ago when they had first met. “Did you ever think why I was carrying so many things home that day?” asked Bill. “You see, I cleaned out my locker(鎖柜) because I didn’t want to leave anything for anyone else. I had put away some of my mother’s sleeping pills and I was going home to kill myself. But after we spent some time together talking and laughing, I began to understand that if I killed myself, I would have missed that time and so many others that might follow. So you see, Mark, when you picked up those books that day, you did a lot more. You saved my life.”

The day was warm and the sun shone down like a new beginning on my life. I was waving goodbye to my son, the last one of my fledglings （剛會(huì)飛的鳥）to leave home and go to new woods, "University actually" . I felt so lighthearted after spending many years looking after my four children—cooking, washing, ironing, teaching them how to look after themselves and manage their finances—that I actually thought “At long last, freedom".
But, as I watched my last one leave, although it was a joyous occasion, I realized I had not really prepared for this day, I was too tied up with bringing up these adults of the future to realize that they would all leave the nest and lives independently.
At first I didn't know what "I" wanted to do. I tried a part time job, which ended in me running out in tears. I started a business making soft furnishings, but that didn't work either.  I grew my own veggies and fruit, which lasted 3 years, until I was advised by my doctor that my feet couldn't take any more "tools” driven through them.
I began wondering if I had a future of my own. I cried for the life I was used to, and hadn't known or wanted anything different.
Then one day I saw an ad. for foster parents, I discussed it with my husband who was always behind everything I tried and with great disturbance , I rang up the number.
I now laugh and sing with my 14-year-old foster daughter, even when my cooker is a mess and my bathroom is a disaster area. I now know, 8 years later, what “I” was meant to be doing with all the spare hours, days, and weeks I had on my hands when my last fledgling flew the nest. The sun shines once again in my home.
小題1:How did the mother first feel when her last child went off to university?
A．Lonely.B．Anxious.C．Relieved.D．Annoyed.
小題2:The underlined phrase “was tied up with” in the second paragraph means “        ”.
A．was occupied inB．was associated with
C．was tired ofD．was addicted to
小題3:In the third paragraph, the poor mother did all the things just to         .
A．live a greener and healthier life
B．earn more money for her kids’ education
C．shift her attention and ease her anxiety
D．start her own decorating business
小題4:What did the empty-nested mother think of her husband?
A．SkilledB．SupportiveC．StubbornD．Open-minded
小題5:Thanks to the foster daughter, the author         .

A number of times Rosemary edged closer to Gordon , meaning to take his arm, but he edged away from her. She thought that she had offended him deeply, and that he was disappointed because she had pushed him away. She would have apologized if he had given her half a chance. But as a matter of fact, he was scarcely thinking of this any longer. It was the money business that was troubling him now. And the fact was that he would soon have to confess it. What nonsense it made of all he had said! Presently she stopped him, and swung him round to face her. “Gordon, why won’t you speak to me?” she said. “Are you still angry with me for what happened just now?”
“No, I was never angry with you. You’re not to blame. Something else has been worrying me all the way along, I’ve only eight pence left. I had just enough money for today when we started out, but that dinner bill upset everything. Can you lend me some money?’
Rosemary was amazed. “What does it matter if you’ve only eight pence left? How can you let yourself be worried by a thing like that? As though I objected to lending you money, aren’t I always telling you that I want to pay for myself when we go out together?’
“Yes, and you know how I hate you paying.”
“Oh, how silly you are.” She said. “Do you think there’s anything to be ashamed of in having no money?”
Gordon’s face went bright pink. “Of course there is ! It’s the only thing in the world there is to be ashamed of. I can’t be a complete human being—I don’t feel a human being –unless I’ve got money in my pocket.”
