In some cultures, however, 33 money can make people uncomfortable. “When someone gives me money, it just makes me think they’re lazy,” says John Wilson. “In England, we have a saying:It’s the thought that counts. When someone gives me money, I feel they don’t think it about at all. I prefer to receive a gift 34 has some thought behind it.”

Min Sun, with another name of Ziqian, was a famous man in the State of Lu during the Spring and Autumn Period. He was a student of Confucius. Among all students of Confucius, he was compared with Yan Yuan.

After the father returned home, he wanted to divorce(休掉) his wife. Min Sun fell on his knees and begged his father to forgive his stepmother. He said, “If Mother stays at home, only I myself have to stand cold. But if you divorce Mother, all three children have to suffer from cold.”

Mark Twain tells a boy’s story in The Adventure of Huckleberry Finn. Huck is a poor child without a mother and a home. His father drinks too much alcohol(酒精) and always beats him.
Huck’s situation frees him from the restriction of society. He explores in the woods and goes fishing. He stays out all night and does not go to school. He also smokes. Huck runs away from home.

Huck’s ideas about people are formed by the white society in which he lives. So, at first, he does not question slavery. Huck knows that important people believe slavery is natural and this is the law of God. So, he thinks it is his duty to tell Jim’s owners where to find him.

I loved my mother’s desk since I was just tall enough to see above the top of it when mother sat doing letters. Looking at the ink bottle, pens and white paper, I decided that the act of writing must be the most wonderful thing in the world.
Years later, during her final illness, mother kept different things for my sister and brother, “But the desk,” she said again, “is for Elizabeth.”
I never saw her get angry, and never saw her cry. I knew she loved me, and she showed it in action. But as a young girl, I wanted heart-to-heart talks between mother and daughter.
They never happened and a gulf opened between us. I was “too emotional (易动感情的)”, but she lived “on the surface”.
As years went by, I had my own family. I loved my mother and thanked her for our happy family. I wrote to her in careful words and asked her to let me know in any way that she did forgive (原谅) me.
I posted the letter and waited for her answer. It didn’t come.
It seemed that nothing happened. I couldn’t be sure that the letter had even got to her.
I only knew that I had written it, and I could stop trying to make her into someone she was not.
Now the present of her desk told me that she was pleased that writing was my chosen work, though she had never been able to. I cleaned the desk carefully and found some papers inside...a photo of my father and a one-paper letter. Folded (折叠) and refolded many times.
Give me an answer, my letter asks, in any way you choose. Mother, you always chose the act that speaks louder than words.
46. The writer began to love her mother’s desk ______.
A. after mother died
B. when she was a child
C. before she became a writer

In the USA, there are many types of restaurants. Fast food restaurants are very famous. You can find McDonald’s and Kentucky Fried Chicken everywhere. You look at a menu above the counter(柜台), and say what you’d like to eat. You pay the person who serves you. There’s no need to leave a tip. In a coffee shop you sit at the counter or at a table. You don’t need to wait for the waitress to show you where to sit. She usually brings you coffee when you sit down. You tell her what you’d like to eat and she brings it to you. You pay the cashier (出纳员) as you leave. A diner is like a coffee shop but usually looks like a railway carriage (火车车厢). In a family restaurant, the atmosphere is casual, but the waitress shows you where to sit. Often the waitress tells you her name, but you don’t need to tell her yours. You add an extra fifteen percent to the bill as a tip. In top class restaurants, you need a reservation (预定) and you need to arrive on time. The waiter shows you where to sit. If you have wine, he may ask you to taste it. You can only refuse it if it tastes bad. When you get your bill, check it and then add fifteen to twenty percent to it as a tip for the waiter.

I hope you are well and I look forward to seeing you in China next month. If you come to China, I want to invite you to stay in my home. Write to me soon.
Best wishes.
Yours,
