The advertisement appeared in my e-mail—“1-800-Flowers: Mother’s Day Madness—for just $39.99！” I almost clicked on it, forgetting that those services would not be needed this year. My mother, Margaret Feiddman, died at the age of 89, and so this is my first Mother’s Day without my mom.

In my childhood, my mom appeared to be a typical suburban housewife of her generation. She sewed many of my sisters’ clothes, including both of their wedding dresses and boy’s suits for me. And on the side, she won several national bridge tournaments(桥牌锦标赛).

My mom left many indelible marks on me. The first was to never lose heart and to be independent. My dad died suddenly when I was 19. My mom worked hard for a couple of years. But in1975, I won a scholarship to study in Britain and my mom surprised us all by announcing that she decided to go with me. When I met difficulties, she always said: “You’re a man, so never lose heart, never be knocked down, and try your best to pursue(追求) your dreams.”

My mom’s other big influence on me is a sense of optimism. She had taken her knocks. But every time life knocked her down, she got up and kept on marching forward, encouraged by the saying that pessimists(悲观者) are usually right, optimists are usually wrong, but most great changes are made by optimists.

How I wish to listen to my mother’s words, and give my best regards on this Mother’s Day, but I have no chance now! My best friends, treasure(珍惜)your mother’s love!24. The author mentioned the advertisement to ______________.

A. show he’s tired of the advertisements

B. make you believe that he was very kind

C. explain he missed his mother very much

D. urge the readers to buy the present for their mothers

25. What experience of the author’s mother surprised the author?

A. That she won several national bridge tournaments.

B. That she gained knowledge all by herself.

C. That she did all the housework by herself.

D. That she volunteered to go to Britain with her son.

26. We can know about the author’s mother that_______________.

A. she felt very lonely in her late life

B. she encouraged the author to pursue his dreams

C. she never received a present from her children

D. she passed away before the author’s father

27. Which can be the best title for the passage?

A. Treasure Mother’s Love. B. Mother and I.

C. My Great Mother. D. Mother’s Day Madness.

Skipping classes violates school rules and a poor attendance record will damage your final mark. But some college students still try every means to escape classes. The number of these rebels may be much bigger than you think. Three students from Anhui Normal University established Itaoke. Com in June. The website quickly attracted 2000 registered members in three months. On the website, students share their experiences of skipping classes and even post ads to look for someone to stand in for them to attend courses. It’s embarrassing for universities to see this shameful behavior discussed.

However, it’s good for schools and teachers to know via the website the reasons why students skip classes, according to Professor Xiao Haitao from Shenzhen University. Xao pointed out that some students skip classes because of laziness. Others play truant because the teaching is truly dissatisfactory, “Universities can seek improvements to give a cure to the class-skipping problem,” said Xiao.

Chen Yang, 21, thinks that he is “forced” to skip some courses because of the poor teaching. The senior, majoring in English at Yangtze University, thinks that he’s wasting time in the classroom when the teacher reads the textbook word for word or hands him outdated reading materials. He would rather skip classes to study in the library, watch online videos of Harvard or Yale lectures, or sit in on(旁听）other courses he is interested in. Chen draws a clear line between himself and those who skip classes in order to get more sleep or fool around on campus. He emphasized: “I skip classes with a clear goal, which is to probe into areas I’m interested in and broaden my horizons.”

Li Sicen, president of the National Taiwan University, seems to be on Chen’s side. Li claimed that he supported those students who skip classes for good reasons.

However, Professor Xiao warns students that Li is not giving permission for students to skip classes. Xiao suggests that Li was just showing his understanding of truancy in a limited number of cases.

In Professor Pan Cuiqiong’s opinion, students tend to jump to the conclusion that a certain course is boring and useless. “To clear students’ misunderstanding, teachers should use materials closely related to students’ lives and adapt interactive teaching methods,” said Pan.

Besides offering teachers more training, schools also need to give students different optional courses and ensure that they can attend the courses they are interested in, according to Professor Xiao. Many C
