Our teacher, Mrs. Bolt said that career was very important and that it was never too early to think about your lifes work. Most of the young boys really were not too sure about what they wanted to be. But I knew exactly what I wanted to be, and when Mrs. Bolt asked me, I replied “A truck driver.” “A truck driver?” repeated Mrs. Bolt. “Why do you want to be one, Tom?” “Because truck drivers are always on the move. They do not have to sit at desks all day. They are out on the road and they see a lot of the countries. The pay is good, too. And they never have any homework.” The class laughed. “Well, Tom,” answered Mrs. Bolt. “You certainly sound quite enthusiastic（热情的）. I guess that you dont like sitting at a desk or doing homework. Is that correct, Tom?” “Yes, I guess so,” I said. “Well, since you are so interested in becoming a truck driver, I think you should look into the field a little further. I want you to go to the library and take out a book on truck driving. And I want you to write a paper on it and hand it in at the end of the month.” Thats the last time.

Ive noticed that it blooms only in the morning hours, the afternoon sun is too warm for it. Every day for approximately two weeks, I see those beautiful flowers.This spring, I started a wildflower garden in our yard. I can look out of the kitchen window while doing the dishes and see the flowers. Ive often thought that those lovely blue flowers from the ditch would look great in that bed alongside other wildflowers. Everyday I drove past the flowers thinking, “Ill stop on my way home and dig them.” “Gee, I dont want to get my good clothes dirty.” Whatever the reason, I never stopped to dig them. My husband even gave me a folding shovel(钎) one year to be used for that expressed purpose. One day on my way home from work, I was saddened to see that the highway department had mowed the ditches and the pretty blue flowers were gone. I thought to myself, “Way to go, you waited too long. You should have done it when you first saw them blooming this spring.” A week ago we that my oldest sister-in-law has a terminal brain tumor(脑瘤晚期). She is 20 years older than my husband and unfortunately, because of age and distance, we havent been as close as we all would have liked. I couldnt help but see the connection between the pretty blue flowers and the relationship between my husbands sister and us. I do believe that God has given us some time left to plant some wonderful memories that will bloom every year for us. And yes, if I see the blue flowers again, you can bet Ill stop and transplant them to my wildflower garden. 1. Whats the best title of the passage? (within 10 words) 2.
