They stopped to talk to an old man named Harry, who was on his knees2weeds around a large oak tree. He wore a pair of 3garden gloves. His fingers were sticking out of the ends, blue from the4.
Harry told them he was getting the yard in 5as a Christmas gift for his mother, who had died several years before. He said with his eyes 6with tears,"My mother was all I had. She loved her7and her trees, so I do this for her at Christmas."
His words8the girls and soon they were down on their hands and knees helping him 9around the trees. When they were finished, Harry pressed a quarter into each of their hands and said, "I wish I could 10 you more, but it's all I've got right now."
The girls had often passed his house, and as they 11 on they remembered that the house was always12. No decorations to add cheerfulness were anywhere in sight. Harry sat behind curtain windows, looking 13.
The quarter in one little girl's palm(手心) seemed to burn a hole of guilt 14 they walked on. The next day she called her friend and they 15 to put their quarters in a jar marked "Harry's Christmas Present". Then they began to seek out small jobs to16more. Every nickel, dime and quarter they earned went into the jar.

NOT all memories are sweet. Some people spend all their lives trying to forget bad experiences. Violence and traffic accidents can leave people with terrible physical and emotional scars. Often they relive(再体验)these experiences in nightmares.
Now American researchers think they are close to developing a pill, which will help people forget bad memories. The pill is designed to be taken immediately after a frightening experience. They hope it might reduce, or possibly erase(抹去), the effect of painful memories.
In November, experts tested a drug on people in the US and France. The drug stops the body releasing(释放)chemicals that fix memories in the brain. So far the research has suggested that only the emotional effects of memories may be reduced, not that the memories are erased.
The research has caused a great deal of argument. Some think it is a bad idea, while others support it.
Supporters say it could lead to pills that prevent or treat soldiers' troubling memories after war. They say that there are many people who suffer from terrible memories.
"Some memories can ruin people's lives. They come back to you when you don't want to have them in a daydream or nightmare. They usually come with very painful emotions," said Roger Pitman, a professor at Harvard Medical School. "This could reduce lot of that suffering."
But those who are against the research say that changing memories is very dangerous because memories give us our identity(特质). They also help us all avoid the mistakes of the past.
" All of us can think of bad events in our lives that were horrible at the time but make us who we are. I'm not sure we want to wipe those memories out," said Rebecca Dresser, a medical expert.
(1)The passage is mainly about __________.
A.a new medical invention
B.a way of erasing painful memories
C.an introduction to the function of a new pill
D.an argument about the research on the pill
(2)The drug tested on people can __________.
A.cause the brain to fix memories
B.stop people remembering bad experiences
C.prevent body producing certain chemicals
D.erase the emotional effects of memories
(3)We can infer from the passage that __________.
A.not all of the people support the research
B.taking the pill will do harm to people's health
C.the pill has probably been produced in America
D.the pill will put an end to people's bad experiences
(4)Which of the following does Rebecca Dresser probably agree with?
A.Some memories can ruin people's lives.
B.People want to get rid of bad memories.
C.Experiencing bad events makes us different from others.
D.The pill will reduce people's sufferings from bad memories.

When I was a child I thought a lot about what it means to love. I once asked my mother if she loved me or my father    (many), certain that I knew the answer ? me. Instead, she bent down and looked at me    the eye, hands gently on each shoulder. She explained that she couldn't help   (love) me and that the love of a mother for her baby was incredibly strong. But then she told me that the love she had for my daddy was a love of   (choose), which made it special. Of all the people in the world, she chose     and he chose her. Now that I'm married, I consider each day    it takes to stay married as long as my parents have. It's not that I don't believe in romance.    I believe more in the sacred of the ordinary. I believe in love that is sustained by deliberate    (kind) and the choice to see little acts as testaments of love and commitment rather than indicators of a spark that has died of love communicated each time he cooks meals and I schedule his dental appointment. This picture of love is certainly less   (excite), but decidedly real, and more romantic in its own way because of the weight of its    (real).
