A couple of years ago, I went to a lady’s house to buy some medicine. Upon entering the house, I  36 that there was a piano in the living room beside the wall.Being a piano music lover and player, I asked if the woman played. She said “Yes” and   37 that she had been taking lessons—at the age of 54!
“I have been  38 for 8 years now.” I said, after hearing her words.
“Then you must play a song for me before you leave,” she requested(請(qǐng)求).
I thought she was kidding and I  39 smiled. When I had bought the medicine, she asked me to play some music. I thought for a moment and 40  to play David Lanz’s Return to the Heart,   41 she had so much passion(熱情)for and interest in music, and it’s one of my favourite songs.
I played the song to the best of my ability(能力), putting as much emotion into it as possible. She  42 it. As I was about to step out of the door, I heard a weak voice calling, “Young man!”
I  43 , and saw an old lady taking one little step at a time with the help of another woman. “I wanted to come out to thank you for the  44 song that you played. I have been very sick, and it’s very hard for me to get out of bed, but I really wanted to thank you for the song. It made me feel good.” she said. With that, she turned around and walked slowly back to her room.
I was deeply touched by her  45  and felt a deeper understanding for the song. It was  46  to its name, returning to one’s heart to  47 and joy.

I have a neighbor we call “Happy”. I have never seen her angry at anything and never heard her say a harsh word to anyone or about anyone.

Happy and her husband Ben, 70, have a huge garden. They spent many happy hours together working on it. Most of the neighbors watched interestingly as Ben doubled the size of their garden. As the cost of food climbed faster than Ben’s beans, we all wished we also had such a large garden. As the rest of us spent our dollars at the market, Happy could be seen picking beans in her back yard.

Last month, Happy and Ben invited most of the neighborhood over for an “all-day food festival”. We were told to bring gloves and arrive very early in the morning. We didn’t know what was about to take place.

By 9:00 am, there were nine of us in the garden picking tomatoes, beans, okra, and squash. By 10:00 am, there was lots of laughter. We shared a lot of stories. By five o’clock, everyone was a little drunk from the wine and beer. After dinner, we played games. As we were leaving, Happy and Ben handed each of us a shopping bag filled with the bounty of the day, already packaged and frozen. What a delightful gift!

Well, the point wasn’t so much about the food. The true gift was a day of friends enjoying one another’s company. None of it would have happened if it had been for Happy and Ben’s garden. Now they have a blog about gardening in case we decided to plant a garden. And I am so proud of my tomato plants!

2. Which of the following is the same as the underlined word “bounty”?

A．To ask them to attend a birthday party

B．To help them get to know each other.

C．To let them enjoy what they grew in the garden.

D．To ask them to share some interesting stories.

4.What did the writer most probably think of the time he spent in the garden?

A．He thought it was too short but enjoyable.

B．He thought it was wonderful.
