Every year on my birthday, from the time I turned 12, a white gardenia (栀子花) was sent to my house. No card came with it. Calls to the flower shops were not helpful at all. After a while I stopped trying to discover the sender’s name and was just very pleased with the beautiful white flower in soft pink paper.
But I never stopped imagining who the giver might be. Some of my happiest moments were spent daydreaming about the sender. My mother encouraged this imagining. She’d ask me if there was someone for whom I had done a special kindness. Perhaps it was the old man who I looked after when he was ill. As a girl, I had more fun imagining that it might be a boy.
One month before my graduation, my father died. I felt very sad and didn’t want to go to the coming graduation dance at all. And I didn’t care whether I had a new dress or not. But my mother, in her own sadness, would not let me miss any of those things. She wanted he children to feel loved and lovable. In truth, my mother wanted her children to see themselves much like the gardenia—lovely, strong and perfect with perhaps a bit of mystery.
My mother died ten days after I was married. I was 22. That was the year the gardenia stopped coming.

A. The author found the sender by calling the flower shops.
B. In fact, the flower was sent by a boy.
C. It was a pleasant moment for the girl to imagine the sender.

52. The mother let her daughter go to the graduation dance because_________
A. She hoped she would miss her father. B. She thought education was most important.
C. She hoped she would find a friend. D. She wanted her to be happy and strong.

Sports can help you keep fit and close to nature. However, whether you are on the mountains, in the waves, or on the grassland, you should realize that sport you choose might have great influence on the environment.
Some sports are resource—hungry. Golf, as you may know, eats up not only large areas of countryside, but also lots of water. Besides, huge amounts of energy are used to keep its courses (球场) in good condition. This causes major environmental changes. For example, in the dry places of Portugal and Spain, golf is often held responsible for (为…承担责任) serious water shortage(短缺) in some local areas.
There are many environment—friendly sports. Power walking is one of them that you could take up today. You don’t need any special equipment except a good pair of shoes, and you don’t have to worry about resources and your purse. Simple and free, power walking can also help you stay healthy. If you walk regularly, it will be good for your heart. Experts say that 20 minutes of power walking daily can make you feel less anxious, sleep well and keep thin.
Whatever sport you take up, you can make it greener than by using environment—friendly equipment and buying products made from recycled materials. But the final goal should be “green gyms.” They are better replacements(替代) for traditional health clubs and modern sports centers. Members of green gyms play sports outdoors, in the countryside or other open spaces. There is no special requirement for you to start your membership(会员身份). And best of all, it’s free.
57. Which of following does the author most probably support according to the passage?
A. Bicycling around the lake. B. Car racing on the road.
C. Playing basketball in a gym. D. Swimming in a sports center.
58. What does the phrase “resource—hungry” in this passage mean in Chinese?
A. 广为流行的 B. 亲近自然的 C. 低成本的 D. 耗费资源的
59. The author uses power walking as an example mainly because________.
A. it is an outdoor sport. B. it is loved by many people.
C. it uses fewer recourses. D. it is supported by experts.
60. The author writes the passage to __________.
A. show us disadvantages of golf. B. urge us to take part in green sports.
C. explain the major sports influence of popular sports.
D. discuss different kinds of environment—friendly sport.

Then the worried father called the police at once and they began to discuss the best way to save the boys. While the adults were worried about the boys in the car, the dog was so mad at the stranger. It sat at the front seat and began barking at him. If that wasn’t enough, the two boys began to shout at the car thief, “Stop, stop! It’s not your car!” and they said angrily that it wasn’t right for him to take their father’s money when the thief wanted to steal the wallet in the car.
The two boys and the dog made the thief so crazy that he asked them for their address. Then he stopped the car in front of their house, covered his face with his shirt and ran away.
