It said that if you wanted to drop her a line, here was her address. So I did. I found a birthday card and dropped her a short note, wishing her a happy birthday.A week or so later, someone knocked at my front door. I opened the door and found a middle-aged man standing on my doorstep. He introduced himself as the son of this woman to whom I had sent the card. He explained that he just wanted to drop by in person and thank me for sending such a nice card to his mom. Apparently, like many older folks, she did not receive much mail and was quite excited to receive mine. I just didnt know what to say. I told him it was my pleasure and that I hoped his mom had enjoyed her birthday.That year, I did not send out any Christmas cards, except to this lovely old lady in the nursing home. I just told her that I was thinking about her and hoped that she had a nice holiday. I sent her a holiday card and also a couple of notes in between. I just thought she might like to have someone write to her, to get some mails.She passed away a couple of months ago. I never met this lady, but I did keep her and her family in my thoughts. I dropped them a line of sympathy. I hope that my few little notes were enough to brighten a couple of her days here on earth.19.

A worthy deed from the caring author.C. A happy advertisement about the family.D. A perfect plan from the considerate son.CI was five years old when my little brother, Mark, was born. On the photos, I appeared so thrilled that he had finally arrived. I held and bathed him, smiling from cheek to cheek. I do not remember that feeling now.Being the first child in the family, I was the one my parents tested their new parenting techniques on. I was their guinea pig. Mark was always the happy one, the joker, the one who won because of my battles with my parents. After too many fights, I declared war on Mark. We were now enemies. All I remember is being jealous of and angry with my innocent little brother.Thus, I made his life a misery. I teased, tricked, embarrassed, and fought with him, often leaving him in floods of tears. Our little sister was born when I was 11 and instantly she and Mark could not be separated. They pushed me aside. Was this because 1 was being a monster, or did 1 grow into an uglier green-eyed monster because they loved each other so much? Thankfully, Mark quickly grew tall and strong, and our conflict looked more like a cold war than bloodshed. It all ended suddenly when I went to study abroad. The hatred(仇恨) disappeared and love climbed in. Despite all the abuse Mark suffered he has implied that he has forgiven me, or even that there is nothing to forgive, although I have never brought up the subject in too much detail. I would like to; however, it would be a selfish move to look for more forgiveness. But I prefer to remember the hurt. During all those wasted years, I should have been the loving sister defending instead of attacking.23. The underlined word “thrilled” in the first paragraph can be replaced by _. A. Worried.B. Excited.C. Terrified.D. Disappointed.24. Why did the writer consider her brother as her enemy? A. She didnt like her brother. B. Shed like to be a monster. C. She did so out of jealousy. D. She used to be ill-treated.25. What can we infer about the writer from the passage? A. Her parents preference for boys to girls made her hate her brother. B. Her conflict with her brother ended when she went to study abroad. C. Her parents used her as an experimental subject for their parenting techniques. D. Separation helped her and her brother build up an affectionate relationship.26. What does the writer really want to tell us in the passage? A. She was looking for more forgiveness. B. She was never forgiven by her brother. C. She felt regretful for what she had done. D. She suffered much abuse from her brother.DFinding your feet in a new town can be hard, especially if youre covered in fur and dont speak the language.
