After a while I stopped trying to discover the senders name and just delighted in the beautiful white flower in soft pink paper.But I never stopped imagining who the giver might be. Some of my happiest moments were spent daydreaming about the sender. My mother encouraged these ima
17、ginings. Shed ask me if there was someone for whom I had done special kindness. Perhaps it was the old man across the street whose mail Id delivered during the winter. As a girl, though, I had more fun imagining that it might be a boy I had run into.One month before my graduation, my father died. I
18、felt so sad that I became completely uninterested in my upcoming graduation dance, and I didnt care if I had a new dress or not.

24、evitable(必然的). In this society, women over 50 wear red hats and purple(紫色的) clothes, while the women under 50 wear pink hats and light purple clothing.“The organization took the idea from a poem by Jenny Joseph that begins: “When I am an old woman, I shall wear purple. With a red hat which doesnt go

When the ladies started to wear the red hats, they attracted lots of attention.“The point of this is that we need a rest from always doing something for someone else,” Cooper said. “Women feel so ashamed and sorry when they do something

Either way , it could be the perfect crime (犯罪), because the criminals are birdshorning pigeons !The crime begins with a telephone message to the owner of a stolen ca
31、r : if you want the car back, pay up then, the car owner is directed to a park, told where to find a bird cage and how to attach money to the neck of the pigeon inside . Carrying the money in a tiny bag , the pigeon flies off .There have been at least four such pigeon pick-ups in Changwa. What at fi
