She smiled back at me, I smiled at her noticing her pretty dress.The rest of the flight was uneventful, but as I was getting off the plane I noticed her again standing by the prompters(提示器)seeing what flight she was to take and what gate. I stood beside her looking for my gate, and flight number. I commented to her that I had seen her on the flight and she had on a pretty dress. She said "Thank you", I asked what flight she was taking? She said to "Phoenix". I looked and she had a two-hour layover, I also had a two and a half hours layover and asked her if she would like to go to the cafeteria for something to eat or drink. She said "Sure". We introduced ourselves on the way, and she told me that her name was "Phyllis". I laughed and said "my name is Phyllis also".As we sat in the booth she began telling me that she had been told she was dying of cancer and had less than 6 months to live. She was on her way to visit her children and grandchildren before she began taking treatment. She then told me that she had never flown before and she had prayed a specific prayer. She was afraid she would get lost at the airport and not be able to find her way to the gate, and didn't know what she was going to do for the two hours she was there. She prayed, that someone would meet her at the gate and stay with her until she left the airport. She then asked me "Are you an Angel God has sent"?

GratefulBSome people collect postage stamps -- the small pieces of paper you place on letters or postcards before mailing them. Other people collect works of art or musical instruments. But a man in the American state of Maryland collects secrets.For the past 10 years, people from throughout the world have been sending Frank Warren postcards and other objects with secrets written on them. He now has a million secrets. Mr. Warren lives in Germantown, Maryland, near Washington, D.C. Ten years ago, he created an art project he calls "PostSecret.""I invited strangers from all around the world to write down their deepest confession（自白）on a postcard, something they'd never told anyone else before, but something that was true. And I asked them to mail it to my hom e anonymously(匿名地)."People send him postcards, other objects and emails telling their secrets. Every Sunday, he chooses 10 secrets and puts them on the PostSecret website.Mr. Warren says he created PostSecret so people would have a safe place in which to share their secrets."

I had the most wonderful chil dhood, and it’s not because I had everything I wanted or because I was a cool kid. I have learned a lot about parenting from what my parents did. Here are a few gems (珍宝) that I use now or plan to use in the future with my two boys.Here’s how a conversation often went when I was a kid. Usually it was around 4:30 p.m. I said, “I’m hungry. Can I have a cookie?” My mom answered, “No. Have a banana.” “I don’t want a banana.” “Then you’re not hungry.” Sometimes I was angry about it, but I knew that was good for me. Thanks mom for not letting me eat junk food (垃圾食品). Now I agree with my mother and I have this same conversation with my three-year-old son. I hope it helps him form healthy diet habits.I know many of us heard this as children. “If everyone jumped off a bridge, would you do it, too?” If our kids asked for something just because everyone else had it or was doing it, we often got this response. It was the perfect response, and we soon learned not to ask for things because everyone else had it, but because it was something we wanted.I will always be thankful that my parents let us try the things that interested us, not the things they wanted to push us into. This helped me try swimming, dance, and the piano before second grade. I found a love — singing — and kept up with that through my college years. It drives me crazy, as a mom and teacher, when I see kids who are pushed into their parents’ favorite activities, even when they don’t havea passion for them.9. What are the gems in the writer’s mind?A. Her parents’ knowledge.B. Her parents’ educational methods.C. Her parents’ love.D. Her parents’ personalities.10. Why does the writer mention the conversation with her mother in Paragraph 2?A. To show her mother was so strict with her.B. To stress the importance of healthy diet habits.C. To show her mother was not concerned about her.D. To show how her mother helped her develop healthy diet habits.11. The response from the writer’s parents in Paragraph 3 is mainly used to .A. refuse their kid’s same requestB. meet their kid’s right requestC. tell their kid not to be in dangerD. tell the good from the bad12. Which of the following may be supported by the writer?A. The children must do what their parents want them to.B. The children can do anything that they want to.C. The children must do what is useful to society.D. The children can try the things that interest them.DPicture this scene, a 6-year-old girl is alone on a raft, with no lifejacket, 200yards from the shore with the winds whipping up the water.
