1.One morning,my husband Jerry went back to the kitchen as he just finished loading his car."I guess filling my thermos(保溫瓶) is all that I have left to do,and then I'm off."Down the drain(下水道) went the hot water that had been warming his thermos.
With a nostalgic(懷舊的) look on his face,he softly said:"Anytime I fill my thermos I think of your mom."The tone in his voice was so tender(溫柔的) as he spoke of my mother,who is sadly no longer with us.
"Oh honey,I know she's watching and listening right now with a big smile on her face,"I responded,tears in my eyes.
One morning years ago when we were leaving,mother watched as Jerry was to fill his thermos.Mom then casually said,‘Jerry,if you filled your thermos with hot water and let it sit a while,your coffee would stay hot for longer then."With her simple suggestion,his face showed that he was shocked by his own lack of common sense.Well,of course it would!
He poured out the small amount of coffee already in the thermos and refilled it with boiling hot water.Then he poured the water and refilled it with hot coffee.Mom smiled as Jerry did so.
Words of wisdom from a loving mother-in-law made an impact(影響) that will never be forgotten.She never dreamed her words would be a treasured and everlasting memory in the heart of her son-in-law.
The lasting memories don't necessarily come from major moments in life.Memories are often made during those small,ordinary times.Life is about small moments we share with friends and loved ones.

分析 本文講述了生活中一些永恒的時(shí)刻,生活就是我們與朋友和所愛的人分享的小瞬間.
解答 1.D.觀點(diǎn)態(tài)度題.根據(jù)文章第二段作者丈夫?qū)υ滥妇拺阎Z以及第三段作者聽到丈夫話的反應(yīng)"I responded,tears in my eyes."可知,此時(shí)此刻作者被丈夫的重情感動(dòng)得流淚.故D項(xiàng)正確.
2.B.詞義猜測題.文章最后一段告訴我們,持久的記憶并不總是留在生活中的重大時(shí)刻.而常常是與朋友或愛人在一起的普通短暫的時(shí)刻.故A項(xiàng)正確.without any doubt意為"毫無疑問地";certainly and absolutely意味"絕對(duì)地,肯定地";out of the question意為"毫無疑問地".故選B.
3.A.主旨大意題.岳母對(duì)女婿生活上一個(gè)充滿愛意的小建議,讓女婿感動(dòng)不已,銘刻在心.作者想表達(dá)的是:持久的記憶常常留在生活中的小事情上.故A項(xiàng)正確.
