There he was, my 80yearold grandfather with his silvery hair. And there I was, a teenage girl in my jeans and Tshirt. His aged but still clear blue eyes were taking in the scene as I wondered how I was going to get through the next two days. Why did I ever agree to acpany my cranky grandpa on a train ride from New York to Georgia? No one else wanted to be the fellow traveler since my grandfather refused to fly. In contrast, I loved to fly since I wanted to get to the destination as quickly as possible. No matter what anyone told my grandfather about the fort and safety of flying, he refused to book a flight, saying, It39。s not just the trip。 it39。s the adventure of getting there. With my first step onto the train, the journey was already different from what I expected. The train was modem and filled with friendly travelers. We settled into the club car, where we could enjoy food and drinks while watching the scenery pass. Instead of listening to my music, I became a willing audience and learned family history that I had never had the time or patience to learn. With teary eyes, he told me that going to family events was hard for him since my grandmother died. It always made him think about those who were no longer with us. For the first time I felt I understood him. I gained a new appreciation for our time together. In this fastpaced world, we often miss important moments. There is great significance in listening to elders who offer a piece of their history and experience. I may be more open to opportunities to stay with my grandpa. Life isn39。t just about the destination。 it39。s about the journey.（1）What does the underlined word cranky in paragraph 1 mean?

A.Her grandpa39。s appreciation of her.B.Her grandpa39。s missing her relatives.C.The sad stories of her grandmother.D.The new understanding of her grandpa.（4）What can we learn from the text?

I gained a new appreciation for our time together.”我第一次覺(jué)得我理解了他。我對(duì)我們?cè)谝黄鸬臅r(shí)間有了新的認(rèn)識(shí)。由此可知，她對(duì)她爺爺?shù)男抡J(rèn)識(shí)讓作者改變了她和爺爺在一起的態(tài)度，故選D。 （4）考查細(xì)節(jié)理解。根據(jù)最后一段中的“There is
