After 21 years of marriage, my wife wanted me to take another woman out to dinner.   36  woman was my mother, who has been a widow for 19 years, but my work had made   37  impossible to visit her very often. That night I called to   38  her to go out for dinner.“What’s wrong? Are you   39 ?”she asked. “I thought that it would be   40  to spend some time with you. Just the two of us,”I answered. She thought about it   41  moment, and agreed.
That Friday after work,   42  I drove to pick her up, I was a bit nervous. When I arrived at her house, I   43  that, she, too, seemed to be   44  about our date. She had curled her hair and was wearing the dress that she had worn to   45  her last wedding anniversary.
We went to a restaurant that,   46  not elegant, was very nice and cozy. When I read the menu, Mom sat there   47  at me. A nostalgic(懷舊的)smile was   48  her lips. During the dinner, we had a(an)   49  conversation—nothing special but catching up on(了解)recent events of each other’s life.
A few days   50 , my mother died of a heart attack. It happened so suddenly that I didn’t have a chance to do   51  for her. Sometime later, I received an envelope with a note   52 “You will never know what that night meant to me. I’m looking forward to the   53  dinner. I love you, Son.”
At that moment, I understood the importance of saying in time“I LOVE YOU”. Nothing in life is more important than your   54 . Give them the time they deserve, because these things cannot be   55  till“some other time”.

無論多么忙，我們都應(yīng)當和家人經(jīng)常交流、共處，千萬不要以各種理由把和家人交流、共處的時間一次 次地推遲，因為生活中有些事情是不能往后推的，否則，有可能會留下終生的遺憾……
小題1:B。This other這個其它的。這個其它的婦女是我的母親。
小題1:D 這里it 代替后面的不定式，作形式賓語。
小題1:D 由上下文可知，作者邀請母親外出吃飯。invite sb. to do sth.邀請某人做某事。其他各詞也可用于這 種結(jié)構(gòu)，但force 意思是“強迫”，order 意為“命令”，advise 意為“建議”，均不符合語境。
小題1:C 這么多年來第一次被兒子邀請出去吃飯，還以為兒子出什么事了呢？所以關(guān)切地問“你還好嗎？”
小題1:B  pleased 和glad 是用來描述人的情緒的，而這里主語是一件事情(to spend some time with you)，這是作者對母親說的話，所以選pleasant(令人愉快的)。
小題1:B 句意為：她想了一會兒(for a moment)，同意了。
小題1:C 句意為：當我開車去接她的時候，有點緊張。as 意為“當……的時候”。
小題1:A notice 意為“留意，注意到”；observe 意為“觀察某種自然現(xiàn)象”；watch 意為“觀看，有意識地注意 看”；hear 意為“聽見”。根據(jù)語境暗示，可以看出此處表示的應(yīng)是“注意到”。
小題1:C 上文提到“我”開車去接母親時有點緊張，由too 可以看出，母親對這次約會也感到有點“緊張”。
小題1:B 由后面的賓語wedding anniversary 可以看出，應(yīng)選celebrate。 celebrate 表達“慶�！敝�，限于事 物，如節(jié)日、勝利、結(jié)婚紀念、生日等，是指以儀式、典禮等活動慶祝令人歡樂的事或日子。而congratulate指對人進行祝賀，常構(gòu)成短語congratulate sb. on sth.，表達“為某事而祝賀某人”的意思。
小題1:A 由句意“這家飯店不是最好的，但卻非常漂亮、舒適”可知，前后兩句應(yīng)是轉(zhuǎn)折關(guān)系。
小題1:B 由語境可知，這次特殊的約會，媽媽特別重視，這么久以來第一次和兒子面對面坐在一起，所以stare at(凝視)最符合語境。如果選擇smile 則和下文意思重復(fù)。
小題1:D “在嘴唇(臉等)上”應(yīng)用介詞on。
小題1:C agreeable愉快的。由語境尤其是下文可以看出，這次談話是令人愉快的。
小題1:A“時間段＋later”意思是“多久以后”。如果用after 應(yīng)放在時間段之前。
小題1:A 句意為：媽媽的去世是這么突然，以至于我沒有機會為她做任何事情。not…anything…＝nothing。
小題1:B say 表示信上寫著什么內(nèi)容， 用saying 是現(xiàn)在分詞作定語。
小題1:D 這頓飯剛結(jié)束，自然是盼望著下一頓了。
小題1:C 由后面的them可以看出，這里應(yīng)選family(家人)，生活中沒有比你的家人更重要的了。
小題1:A 由前文講述的故事可看出，作者要表達的意思是：這些事情是不能拖到以后的。put off 推遲，拖 延。

We rushed out the door. Jonathan, our youngest, was easy to make __5__. “If he’s making holes in the wall again…” I said as I searched there. No children at all. But there was that __6_ again, coming from right up there.

“Poor thing,” Anita said. “It must be __12__.”
“Well, maybe it’s because of me,” I said as I moved toward it. I tried to show the bird how to glide (滑翔) down a few feet so it could get outside, __13__ that only seemed to frighten it more.
“Why don’t we just __14__?” Anita suggested. “I’m sure he’ll __15__ eventually.”
So we went back into the house, where we continued to hear the ongoing struggle. Then suddenly, it was __16__. We looked into the garage, and our uninvited guest was __17__.
“See?” Anita said. “I told you he would make it.”
“Yeah,” I said. “But how many knocks on the head did it __18__ him?”
I’ve thought about that little sparrow through the years. Just like that sparrow, we often meet situations we don’t know how to __19__. Born to go upward, we don’t __20__ consider the possibility that something good might happen if we stop flapping(拍打) around and just glide down a little bit.

American author Mark Twain once noted that “l(fā)ife would be surely happier if we could only be born at the age of 80 and gradually approach 18.” Twain’s words were only one of many complaints about aging. The ancient Greek poet Homer called old age “hateful”, and William Shakespeare termed it “terrible winter”.
Alexander the Great, who conquered most of the known world before he died around 323 B.C., may have been looking for a river that healed the ravages of age. During the 12th century A.D., a king called Prester John ruled a land that had a river of gold and a fountain of youth.
But the name linked most closely to the search for a fountain of youth is 16th-century Spanish explorer Juan Ponce de Leon. He thought it would be found in Florida. In St. Augustine, the oldest city in the U.S., there’s a tourist attraction. It is said to be the fountain of youth that Ponce de Leon discovered soon after he arrived in what is now Florida in 1513. However, elderly visitors who drink the spring’s water don’t turn into teenagers.
But the tale of the search for a fountain of youth is so appealing(有吸引力的) that it survives anyway, says Ryan K. Smith, a professor of history. “People are more attracted by the story of looking and not finding than they are by the idea that the fountain might be out there somewhere.”
Still, a few grains of truth have helped to support the story. Kathleen Deagan, a professor of archaeology, says a graveyard and the remains of a Spanish mission dating back to St. Augustine’s founding in 1565 have been discovered near the so-called fountain of youth. Michelle Reyna, a spokesperson for the Fountain of Youth Archaeological Park in St. Augustine, says the fountain has been a tourist attraction since at least 1901 and may have been attracting visitors since 1860.
