A. Choose the best answer:
Every year on my birthday, from the time I turned 15, a white gardenia(栀子花) was delivered to my house. No card came with it. Calls to the flower shop were not helpful at all. After a while I stopped trying to find out the sender’s name and was just pleased with the beautiful white flower wrapped in soft pink paper.
I never stopped imagining who the giver might be, though. Some of my happiest moments were spent daydreaming about the sender. My mother encouraged these daydreams. She’d ask me if I had been especially kind to someone. Perhaps it was one of my classmates. Perhaps it was the old man who lived
across the street. I’d delivered his mails during the winter.
One month before my high school graduation, my father died. I was so sad that I became completely uninterested in my upcoming graduation dance, and I didn’t care whether I had a new dress or not. My mother, in her own sadness, however, would not let me miss any of those things. She wanted her children to feel loved. In fact, my mother wanted her children to see themselves much like the gardenia: lovely, strong and perfect with perhaps a bit of mystery (神秘).
I got married at the age of 25. My mother died ten years after I was married. That was the year the
gardenia stopped coming.
