I was in a rush as always, but this time it was for an important date I just couldn’t be late for! I found myself at a checkout counter behind an elderly woman seemingly in no hurry as she paid for her groceries (食品杂货). A PhD student without a lot of money, I had hurried into the store to pick up some flowers. I was in a huge rush, thinking of my upcoming evening. I did not want to be late for this date.
We were in Boston, a place not always known for small conversation between strangers. The woman stopped unloading her basket and looked up at me. She smiled. It was a nice smile—warm and friendly and I returned her gift by smiling back.
“Must be a special lady, whoever it is that will be getting those beautiful flowers,” she said. “Yes, she’s special.” said, and then to my embarrassment, the words kept coming out.
“It’s only our second date, but somehow I am just having the feeling she’s ‘the one’.” Jokingly, I added, “The only problem is that I can’t figure out why she’d want to date a guy like me.”
“Well, I think she’s very lucky to have a boyfriend who brings her such lovely flowers and who is in love with her,” the woman said. “My husband used to bring me flowers every week, even when times were tough and we didn’t have much money. Those were unbelievable days; he was very romantic and, of course, I miss him since he’s passed away.”
I paid for my flowers as she was gathering up her groceries. There was no doubt in my mind as I walked up to her. I touched her on the shoulder and said, “You were right, you know. These flowers are indeed for a very special lady.” I handed her the flowers and thanked her for such a nice conversation.
It took her a moment to realize that I was giving her the flowers I had just bought. “You have a wonderful evening,” I said. I left her with a big smile and my heart warmed as I saw her smelling the beautiful flowers.
I remember being a little late for my date that night and telling my girlfriend the above story. A couple of years later, when I finally worked up the courage (勇气) to ask her to marry me, she told me that this story had helped to seal it for her—that was the night that I won her heart.

The 24 Solar Terms, a unique cultural heritage of China, play a crucial role in guiding agricultural activities and celebrating the change of seasons. Originating from ancient China, these terms divide the solar year into 24 segments, each lasting about two weeks. This traditional Chinese calendar system reflects the relationship between nature, climate, and human life.
The 24 Solar Terms are based on the position of the sun as it travels along the ecliptic, providing insight into the seasonal changes and offering guidance for agricultural practices. The terms are divided into 12 major solar terms and 12 minor solar terms, representing the transitions between different seasons and weather patterns.
The major solar terms include the Beginning of Spring, Grain Rain, Summer Solstice, and End of Autumn, among others, while the minor solar terms such as Insects Awaken, Limited Heat, and White Dew mark the subtle changes within each season.

I was in a rush as always, but this time it was for an important date I just couldn’t be late for! I found myself at a checkout counter behind an elderly woman seemingly in no hurry as she paid for her groceries (食品杂货). A PhD student without a lot of money, I had hurried into the store to pick up some flowers. I was in a huge rush, thinking of my upcoming evening. I did not want to be late for this date.
We were in Boston, a place not always known for small conversation between strangers. The woman stopped unloading her basket and looked up at me. She smiled. It was a nice smile—warm and friendly and I returned her gift by smiling back.
“Must be a special lady, whoever it is that will be getting those beautiful flowers,” she said. “Yes, she’s special.” said, and then to my embarrassment, the words kept coming out.
“It’s only our second date, but somehow I am just having the feeling she’s ‘the one’.” Jokingly, I added, “The only problem is that I can’t figure out why she’d want to date a guy like me.”
“Well, I think she’s very lucky to have a boyfriend who brings her such lovely flowers and who is in love with her,” the woman said. “My husband used to bring me flowers every week, even when times were tough and we didn’t have much money. Those were unbelievable days; he was very romantic and, of course, I miss him since he’s passed away.”
I paid for my flowers as she was gathering up her groceries. There was no doubt in my mind as I walked up to her. I touched her on the shoulder and said, “You were right, you know. These flowers are indeed for a very special lady.” I handed her the flowers and thanked her for such a nice conversation.
It took her a moment to realize that I was giving her the flowers I had just bought. “You have a wonderful evening,” I said. I left her with a big smile and my heart warmed as I saw her smelling the beautiful flowers.
I remember being a little late for my date that night and telling my girlfriend the above story. A couple of years later, when I finally worked up the courage (勇气) to ask her to marry me, she told me that this story had helped to seal it for her—that was the night that I won her heart.
26. The writer was in a hurry to ________ that day.
A. do some shopping B. buy some flowers for an elderly lady
C. pay the bill for an elderly lady D. meet his girlfriend
27. The underlined phrase “her gift” in Paragraph 2 refers to ________.

28. The writer gave his flowers to the elderly lady because ________.
