【正文】 . I loved my mother and thanked her for our happy family. I wrote to her in careful words and asked her to let me know in any way she chose that she did forgive(原諒) me. I posted the letter and waited for her answer. None came. My hope turned to disappointment(失望), then little interest and, finally, peace— it seemed that nothing happened. I couldn’t be sure that the letter had even got to mother. I only knew that I had written it, and I could stop trying to make her into someone she was not. Now the present of her desk told, as she’d never been able to, that she was pleased that writing was my chosen work. I cleaned the desk carefully and found some papers inside —a photo of my father and a onepage letter, folded(折疊) and refolded many times. Give me an answer, my letter asks, in any way you choose. Mother, you always chose the act that speaks louder than words.1. The writer began to love her mother’s desk ______.

Talks between Mother and Me 選C。I’ve loved my mother’s desk since I was just tall enough to see above the top of it as mother sat doing letters. Standing by her chair, looking at the ink bottle, pens, and white paper, I decided that the act of writing must be the more wonderful thing in the world. 當(dāng)母親坐在書桌旁寫字時，我僅僅能夠看見它的頂部，從那個時候我就喜歡上了我母親的書桌。 Years later, during her final illness, mother kept different things for my sister and brother. “But the desk,” she’d said again, “it’s for Elizabeth. ” 幾年以后，在她最后的疾病期間，母親為我的姐姐和哥哥安排好了所有的事?！?I never saw her angry, never saw her cry. I knew she loved me。我知道她愛我，她表現(xiàn)在行動上。They never happened. And a gulf opened between us. I was “too emotional(易動感情的)”. But she lived “on the surface(表面)”. 它們從來沒有發(fā)生過。我是“太容易動感情”。 As years passed I had my own family. I loved my mother and thanked her for our happy family. I wrote to her in careful words and asked her to let me know in any way she chose that she did forgive(原諒) me. 時光流逝，我有了自己的家庭。我以小心的口吻寫信給她，并且叫她讓我明白她會以任何方式原諒我。 My hope turned to disappointment(失望), then little interest and, finally, peace— it seemed that nothing happened. I couldn’t be sure that the letter had even got to mother. I only knew that I had written it, and I could stop trying to make her into someone she was not. 我的希望變成了失望，然后很小的期待，最后，平靜——似乎什么都不會發(fā)生。我僅僅知道我寫過那封信，我不能試圖阻止她變成她不想成為的人。我把書桌仔細清理好，并且發(fā)現(xiàn)一些紙在里面——一張我父親的照片和一張單頁的信，被折疊著而且被看過很多遍了。媽媽，你總是選擇用行動說明而不是語言。4．Pull over (?？? to the side of the road away from overpasses (天橋) and power lines if driving.
