26、   Every year on my birthday, from the time I turned 12, a white gardenia (栀子花) was delivered to my house. No card came with it. Calls to the flowershop were not helpful at all. After a while I stopped trying to discover the sender's name and just delighted in the beautiful white flower in soft pink paper.

But I never stopped imagining who the giver might be.

My mother encouraged these imaginings. She'd ask me if there was someone for whom I had done special kindness. Perhaps it was the old man across the street whose mail I'd delivered during the winter. As a girl, I had more fun imagining that it might be a boy I had run into.

When I was 17, I didn't get good grades and I felt very sad, and then I cried myself to sleep. When I woke up the next morning, there was a message on my mirror, "If we let sadness go, happiness will surely come to you." I thought about those words for a long time. When I finally went to get the glass cleaned, my mother knew everything was all right.

One month before my graduation, my father died, I felt so sad that I became completely uninterested in my upcoming graduation dance, and I didn't care if I had a new dress or not. But my mother, in her own sadness, would not let me miss any of those things. She wanted her children to feel loved and lovable. In truth, my mother wanted her children to see themselves much like the gardenia — lovely, strong and perfect with perhaps a bit of mystery.

My mother died ten days after I was married. I was 26. That was the year the gardenia stopped coming.

【1】From the age of ________, the writer began to receive a gardenia every year on her birthday.

A.17 B.12 C.26 D.10

【2】What can we infer (推断) from the underlined sentence in Paragraph 3?

A.Mother was clever. B.I was still sad. C.The glass was dirty. D.Mother really understood me.

【3】The writer lost interest in activities before leaving high school because ________.

A.no flowers were sent to her B.a boy broke her heart

C.her father died D.there was no beauty in her life

【4】In fact it was ________ who sent the flowers.

A.the writer's father B.the writer's mother C.a boy classmate D.one of the neighbors

【5】The passage mainly talks about ________.

A.mother's love B.the writer's bad luck

C.teenagers' problems while growing up D.how to pace difficulties
