21、A mother’s love
I’M a New York City firefighter. Every day, I see terror — sometimes even death. But the day I found Scarlett was different. That day I saw life. And love.
We were responding to a call about a burning garage. Outside, I heard the sound of cats crying. I couldn’t stop — I would have to look for the cats after the fire was put out.
It took a long time to finally bring the big fire under control, but we did it. No one inside was hurt.
At that point I was free to investigate the cat noises. There was still a lot of smoke and heat coming from the building. I followed the meowing(猫叫) to a spot on the sidewalk near the front of the garage. There, crying and huddled(挤作一团) together, were five terrified kittens. They must have been inside the building, as their fur was badly singed(烫烧).
I left the five kittens in a box on a neighbor’s porch(门廊).
I wanted to find the mother. It was obvious that she had gone into the burning garage and carried out all of her babies, one by one — unbelievable.
We finally found her. She was badly burnt: her eyes were blistered (起水泡), her paws(爪子) were blackened, and her fur was singed all over. You could even see her reddened skin beneath the burned fur. She could barely move. I picked her up, and she relaxed in my arms as much as her pain would allow. Sensing her trust, I shed a tear. I was determined to save this brave little cat and her family.
The vet told me they would observe the kittens and their mother overnight, but they weren’t optimistic about the mother’s changes.
About a week later, I found out she was going to live. One of the technicians suggested we name her Scarlett, because of her reddened skin.
Knowing what Scarlett endured(忍受) for her kittens, it melted my heart to see her reunited with them. She touched each of them again, nose to nose, to make sure they were all safe. She had risked her life five separate times — and it had paid off. All of her babies had survived.
As a firefighter, I see heroism(英雄事迹) every day. But what Scarlett showed me that day was the kind of bravery that can only come from a mother’s love.

23、Dier Pulatov was expecting big things when he left his home in Uzbekistan to study at UW-Eau Claire. However, he never imagined that meeting the CEO of apple or giving a presentation to one of the top 25 investors of the 20th century would be part of his college experience. “I cannot imagine a better place to obtain a high-quality education while making so many lifelong friendships,” Pulatov says. “UW-Eau Claire helped shape me intellectually and my thinking about my future career.” This spring, Pulatov graduated with degree in finance and was named the 2020 College of Business Outstanding Senior, an honor that goes to a student who shows great promise in their chosen field. Challenging coursework, multiple internships, lifelong friends and other high-impact outside-the-classroom experiences were all part of his UW-Eau Claire journey, says Pulatov, who will begin his professional career this summer as a risk advisory consultant for EY in Minneapolis. a dream internship at the prestigious Driehaus Capital Management in downtown Chicago was among the most meaningful experiences he had, Pulatov says. While at Driehaus, he reported directly to the head of investments, giving him plenty of opportunities to observe various aspects of the firm and to learn from top fund managers. “I worked hard to impress my manager and had a chance to attend many high-level meetings,” Pulatov says. “It was an extremely invaluable experience, which helped me better understand what skills I need to develop, and it unlocked many new opportunities.”
While the internships were invaluable, he also had many on-campus experiences that helped him grow his knowledge and thinking.
Equally important, he says, are the friendships and professional connections he made on campus and in the UW-Eau Claire community. Those relationships were especially important after his father was diagnosed with cancer for the incredible support and love he received during that challenging time.

24、I kept it in a special box and pulled it out when my brother was to arrive with his wife for New Year. I carried it to the dining room and unfolded the white tablecloth. Its colorful embroidery (刺绣) popped to life. The signatures of all the family and friends who’d ever shared a New Year meal at our table were hand-embroidered on top.
I’d started my embroidery New Year tradition 20 years before, since I wanted something that was uniquely ours — something we could look forward to.
The first time I laid out the clean white cloth and asked the kids to sign it, my family looked at me as if I were crazy. Write on the tablecloth we hoped to protect from jam and tea? Yes! And these days, I have grandkids to carry on the tradition. Each year I used a different color embroidery thread, so we could relive the highlights of particular gatherings. I saw my grandkids’ signatures go from scribbles (潦草的字) to print. We added drawings for milestones, such as a baby’s handprint.
The doorbell rang, and I ran to let in my brother, Tom, and his wife. They’d traveled from North Carolina for their first New Year with us. After greetings and hugs, I led them into the dining room. Tom looked wide-eyed at the tablecloth he had seen only in pictures. He gently touched our mom’s signature, and I put my hand on his, “I’m thankful to have started this while she was alive.”
More than something to look forward to, our tradition holds memories to look back on. Everyone we love is at our table when we sit down for New Year.
【1】When does the author usually use the special tablecloth?

B．He missed the author very much,
C．He would start a new tradition soon.
D．He had never signed on the tablecloth before.
【4】Which of the following is a suitable title for the text?
