1．my 4-year-old son now enjoys posting letters. he has formed the 36 of drawing pictures, writing his name on them, and then 37 the artwork in an envelope. he then insists on 38 his handwork to the neighbors, and a mail box he 39 belongs to the elderly couple who live next door. to be 40 , i didn’t think much of it, but i had 41 to warn my neighbors of the drawings 42 appearing in their letterboxes—i just didn’t have the 43 to do so, because i was a little busy recently. on tuesday of last week, i was walking down to school to collect my son when i 44 mary, my elderly neighbor, 45 at her mail box. she said, “jodie, is it your little son that has been posting items in my letterbox to me?” i was at once 46 , “oh yes, mary, it is. i’m sorry. i meant to tell you…” she cut me off, “jodie, i just love his mail. i’ve 47 every item he has sent. you don’t know how much 48 the letters has made my day. i just love them.” while i was walking down to school after our 49 , many thoughts came to me. mary doesn’t have a lot to fill her days, 50 she was a mother to a number of children herself who receives fairly regular visitors. the small 51 of getting some mail—pictures drawn by the hand of a young child—has brought 52 to her days, just as my visit to my grandparents does. i have decided that my son should 53 this practice. he should also start sending some items to his grandparents in perth as well. it will most 54 make their day. it’s doing the little, simple things that can often make a big 55 in someone’s life. 《小题1》a. habit b. attitude c. style d. form 《小题2》a. hiding b. writing c. drawing d. putting 《小题3》a. handing b. holding c. posting d. writing 《小题4》a. opened b. set c. chose d. saw 《小题5》a. kind b. surprised c. careful d. honest 《小题6》a. meant b. asked c. hated d. refused 《小题7》a. actually b. suddenly c. hardly d. partly 《小题8》a. intelligence b. strength c. money d. time 《小题9》a. met b. visited c. dated d. called 《小题10》a. crying b. lying c. laughing d. standing
