It was a lovely spring day. We could see dandelions popping through the grass in bunches, as if a painter had touched our landscape with bits of gold. I watched my mother carelessly bend down by one of the bunches. "I think I am going to dig up all these weeds," she said. "From now on, we'll have only roses in this garden. "
"But I like dandelions," I protested. "All flowers are beautiful — even dandelions!" My mother looked at me seriously. "Yes, every flower gives pleasure in its own way, doesn't it?" she asked thoughtfully. I nodded. "And that is true of people, too," she added.
When I realized that she had guessed my pain, I started to cry and told her the truth.
"But you will be a beautiful narrator," she said, reminding me of how much I loved to read stories aloud to her.
Over the next few weeks, with her continuous encouragement, I learned to take pride in the role. The big day finally came. A few minutes before the play, my teacher came over to me. "Your mother asked me to give this to you," she said, handing me a dandelion. After the play, I took home the flower, laughing that I was perhaps the only person who would keep such a weed.

Yesterday evening. I went out for a walk with my mother. On the way. we met a foreigner (外国人). He asked me the way to the Hot Spring Hotel. I told him to walk along the mad and take the third turning on the left. then he could see the hotel. He thanked me for my help. I was happy that I could help him.
The writer and his mother went out for a walk.
A.True.
B.False.
She said this in such a funny way that everybody thought it was a good joke and laughed. And then, to make matters worse, I heard my mother saying to Waverly: "True, one can't teach style, June is not sophisticated like you. She must have been born this way."
I was surprised at my self, how humiliated I felt. I had been outsmarted by Waverly once again, and now betrayed by my own mother.
Five months ago, some time after the dinner, my mother gave me my "life's importance," a jade pendant on a gold chain. The pendant was not a piece of jewelry I would have chosen for myself. It was almost the size of my little finger, a mottled green and white color, intricately carved. To me, the whole effect looked wrong: too large, too green, too garishly ornate. I stuffed the necklace ha my lacquer box and forget about it.
But these day, I think about my life's importance. I wonder what it means, because my mother died three months ago, six days before my thirty-sixth birthday. And she's the only person I could have asked to tell me about life's importance, to help me understand my grief.
I now wear that pendant every day. I think the carvings mean something, because shapes and details, which I never seem td notice until after they are pointed out to me, always mean something to Chinese people. I know I could ask Auntie Lindo, Auntie An-mei, or other Chinese friends, but I also know they would tell me a meaning that is different from what my mother intended. What if they tell me this curving line branching into three oval shapes is a pomegranate and that my mother was wishing me fertility and posterity? What if my mother really meant the carvings were a branch of pears to give me purity and honesty?
And because l think about this all the time, I always notice other people wearing these same jade pendants-not the flat rectangular medallions or the round white ones with holes in the middle but ones like mine, a two-inch oblong of bright apple green, It's as though we were all sworn to the same secret covenant, so secret we don't even know what we belong to. East weekend, for example, ! saw a bartender wearing one. As I fingered mine, I asked him. "Where'd you get yours?"
"my mother gave it to me," He said.
I asked him why, which is a nosy question that only one Chinese person can ask another; in a crowd Caucasians, two Chinese people are already like family.
"She gave it to me after I got divorced, I guess my mother's telling me I'm still worth something."
And I knew by the wonder in his voice that he had no idea what the pendant really meant.

"Is there anything I can do for you?" asked the President.
The soldier obviously didn't recognize Lincoln, and with some effort he was able to whisper. "Would you please write a letter to my mother?"
A pen and paper were provided and the President carefully began writing down what the young man was able to say:
"My dearest mother, I was badly hurt while doing my duty. I'm afraid I'm not going to recover. Don't grieve (悲伤) too much for me, please. Kiss Mary and John for me. May God bless you and father."
The soldier was too weak to continue, so Lincoln signed the letter for him and added, "written for your son by Abraham Lincoln."
The young man asked to see the note and was astonished when he discovered who had written it. "Are you really the President?" he asked.
"Yes, I am, "Lincoln replied quietly, then he asked if there was anything else he could do.
"Would you please hold my hand?" the soldier asked. "It will help to see me through to the end."
In the quiet room, the President took the boy's hand in his and spoke warm words of encouragement until death came.

A.wrote a letter to his mother himself
B.was in hospital for a long time
C.couldn't say any words when he saw the president
