三、阅读理解

 Grandma’s eightieth birthday was near and I wondered what to give her. She had moved into a nursing home and didn’t have room for extra things. She insisted that she didn’t need any gift.

 Finally, I came up with an idea. In her birthday card, I sent her a gift certificate (礼券) for “A letter a week for the next year!” It was a big promise. I’ve never been much of a letter writer, but now I was living far from home, and should be able to find plenty of news. Growing up just a mile from my grandparents, we’d always been close. I knew that she’d love to hear what was going on in my life.

 The letter gift certificate was a huge hit. She got fifty-two letters that first year. All showed her that I was thinking of her regularly. As her next birthday rolled around, she asked for another letter gift certificate. In fact, for nine and a half years I wrote about the cold Michigan winters. Then I wrote about my pregnancy (怀孕). During the kids’ preschool years, I shared every funny thing they did and said, and as they grew, they started adding “picture letters” to the envelope. Once I flew home to visit Grandma and found that all the staff in the nursing home knew the details of my life, as they often read letters to her.

 My last letter arrived the day after her death. I never missed a letter and I felt I had given her the best gift I could. What I hadn’t counted on was how her gift would come full circle to me.

 Months later, while going through her things, my dad found a box full of letters from me. Those letters are a journal of my life, filled with moment and pictures I had completely forgotten. But Grandma saved those memories for me in my letters.

 Life really does fly by. Loved ones come and go. But sometimes our gifts to others come back to us in unexpected ways. This is one of those times.

31. The author sent Grandma a gift certificate because __________.

 A. she had no other choice to please her

 B. she knew it would suit her fine

 C. there wasn’t enough room for bigger gifts in the nursing home

 D. she wanted Grandma to choose her favorite gift herself

32. The underlined phrase “a huge hit” probably means __________.

 A. a big surprise  B. a satisfying letter C. a bright future  D. a big success

33. From the passage, we can infer that the author __________.

 A. was afraid to write letters when she was a kid

 B. could always hear from Grandma

 C. might live in Michigan after getting married

 D. felt very regretful after Grandma passed away

34. Which of the following is True?

 A. Grandma died when she was about ninety years old.

 B. The author was brought up by Grandma so they were very close.

 C. Later the kids wrote the letters to Grandma instead of the author.

 D. The author’s dad sent Grandma a box to keep the letters.

35. What’s the best title of the passage?

 A. Common Gift in Life  B. A Birthday Card C. The Saved Memories  D. My Grandma and I
