【正文】 Betty. Go and look around on the kitchen floor, and you39。ll find some flowers there. Betty brought those for you. She picked them herself—pink, yellow, and your favorite blue. When I heard this, I thought deeply, While meeting with a stranger, I was calm and polite, but with my daughter, I was not patient. I felt sad and tears began to fall. I quietly went to Betty39。s bed, Wake up, my dear! I said. Are these the flowers you picked for me? She smiled, I found them by the tree. I know you like them, especially the blue ones. I said, I am so sorry that I treated you that way today. And she whispered （悄聲說）, Mommy, that39。s okay. I still love you anyway. I kissed her and said, I love you, too and 1 do love the flowers. That day Betty gave me a lesson on how to get along with each other in the family. I spent much time on work and didn39。t realize how important family life was. I decided to do better in the future.（1）What did the writer do when she ran into a man?

Boxing Day is usually celebrated on December 26th, which is the following day after Christmas Day. However, strictly speaking, Boxing Day is the first weekday after Christmas. Like Christmas Day, Boxing Day is a public holiday. This means it39。s a nonworking day in the whole of Britain. When Boxing Day falls on a Saturday or Sunday, the following Monday is the public holiday. The exact origin（起源）of the holiday is unclear. One of the thoughts is that during the Middle Ages, when great sailing ships were setting off to discover new land, a Christmas Box was placed by a priest（神父）on each ship. Those sailors who wanted to ensure a safe return would drop money into the box. It was sealed up and kept on board until the ship came home safely. Then the box was handed over to the priest in exchange for the saying of a mass of thanks for the success of the sailing. The priest wouldn39。t open it to share the contents with the poor until Christmas. One more thought is about the Alms Box placed in every church on Christmas Day. Worshippers（做禮拜的人） put gifts for the poor into it. These boxes were always opened the day after Christmas. That is why that day became known as Boxing Day. Today, many businesses, organizations and families try to keep the traditional spirit of Boxing Day alive by donating（捐贈） their time, services and money to aid Food Banks, providing gifts for the poor, or helping families in need. Besides, spending time with family and shopping are popular Boxing Day activities now. （1）If Christmas Day is on a Saturday, Boxing Day will be celebrated on____________.
