Several times my daughter had telephoned to say, “Mum, you must come and see the daffodils(水仙花)before they are over.”  I wanted to go, but it was a two-hour drive from Lake Arrowhead. "I will go next Tuesday," I promised, a little unwillingly, on her third call.

The next Tuesday dawned cold and rainy. Still, I had promised, and so I drove there. When I finally walked into Carolyn’s house and hugged and greeted my grandchildren, I said, "Forget the daffodils, Carolyn! The road is invisible (看不見的) in the cloud and fog, and there is nothing in the world except you and these children that I want to see!"

My daughter smiled calmly and said, "We drive in this weather all the time, Mum. You will never forgive yourself if you miss this experience."

After about twenty minutes, we turned onto a small road and I saw a small church. On the far side of the church, I saw a hand-lettered sign that read "Daffodil Garden."

We got out of the car and each took a child’s hand, and I followed Carolyn down the path. Then, we turned a corner of the path, and I looked up amazed. Before me lay the most beautiful sight. Flows of flowers of different colors seemed poured down the peak and slopes. There were five acres of flowers! A sea of daffodil! It was like a fairyland all beyond description.

"But who has done this?" I asked Carolyn. "It’s just one woman." Carolyn answered. "That's her home." Carolyn pointed to a well-kept A-frame house that looked small and modest in the midst of all that glory. We walked up to the house. On the patio (露臺), we saw a poster." Answers to the Questions I Know You Are Asking" was the headline.

The first answer was a simple one. "50,000 bulbs (鱗莖)" it read. The second answer was, "One at a time, by one woman." The third answer was, "Began in 1958."

I thought of this woman whom I had never met, who, more than fifty years before, had begun one bulb at a time to bring the beauty and joy to the mountain top. Just planting one bulb at a time, year after year, had changed the world where she lived and created something of magnificence, beauty, and inspiration.

When we multiply tiny pieces of time with small amounts of daily effort, we too can accomplish great things. Everyone can do something to change the world.

1.The writer wasn’t going to see the daffodils at first because ______.

A. she cared more about the children B. they were on a remote mountain top

C. the weather was not good enough D. it was not easy for her to drive there

2.What do we know from the passage about the woman who grew daffodil?

A. She must have been a modest woman.

B. It took her great determination to grow the daffodils.

C. She worked as a professional gardener.

3.What has the writer learned from this experience?

A. It’s never too late to learn

B. We must put the interests of others above our own.

C. Accumulation of small steps may lead to something magnificent

D. People can change the world where they live by growing flowers

4.Which may be the best title for the passage?

It is quite reasonable to blame traffic jams, the cost of gas and the great speed of modern life, but manners on the road are becoming horrible. Everybody knows that the nicest men would become fierce tigers behind the wheel. It is all right to have a tiger in a cage, but to have one in the driver’s seat is another matter . 

Road politeness is not only good manners, but good sense too. It takes the most cool-headed drivers great patience to give up the desire to beat back when forced to face rude driving. On the other hand, a little politeness goes a long way towards reducing the possibility of quarrelling and fighting. A friendly nod or a wave of thanks in answer to an act of politeness helps to create an atmosphere of good will and becomes so necessary in modern traffic conditions. But such behaviors of politeness are by no means enough. Many drivers nowadays don’t even seem able to recognize politeness when they see it. 

However, misplaced politeness can also be dangerous. Typical examples are the driver who waves a child crossing the street at a wrong place into the path of oncoming cars that may be not able to stop in time. The same goes for encouraging old ladies to cross the road wherever and whenever they want to. It always amazes me that the highways are not covered with the dead bodies of these grannies. 

Unfortunately, modern drivers can’t even learn to drive, let alone master the road-man ship. Years ago, experts warned us that the fast increase of the car ownership would demand more give-and-take from all road users. It is high time for all of us to take this message to heart.

1.The passage mainly talks about ____________.

A. modern drivers B. traffic jams

C. good manners D. road politeness

2.Troubles on the road are often caused by __________.

A. the behaviors of the drivers B. traffic jams

C. terrible road conditions D. great speed

3.According to the writer, a good driver should __________.

A. beat back when forced to face rude driving

B. join in traffic stream quickly however other people feel

C. be able to recognize politeness when he sees it

D. encourage old ladies to cross the roads whenever they want to

4.It is not always right for drivers to __________.

A. master road-man ship B. encourage old ladies to cross the road

C. create atmosphere of good will D. give a friendly nod to show politeness
