Every year when Mother’s Day cards show up in the stores, I remember my mother. She never cared much for 1 . I could just send a card or give her a call, and she’d be very happy.
A few months later after her death, I was in a store 2 out a Mother’s Day card when suddenly I realized I had 3 one to send it to.
Each Mother’s Day, I choose a different theme to remember her. This time, it’s some of the things she said.
When I asked her not to send my 4 brother to a boarding(寄宿) school, she said, “They’ll teach him to read Braille(盲文). 5 he wants to have a life, he has to learn to read.”
When I 6 that she ought to get a life, she replied, “I work five days a 7 , clean my house on Saturday, and go to church on Sunday. I don’t need a life. I need help.”
When we fell on hard times, she said, “Life is a 8 . Sometimes you give, and other times you take. Either way, it’s all the same one. But try to remember how hard it is to take, because one day, you will do the giving.”
My mother was really a 9 woman. I remember my mother. And some day, when I’m gone, I hope my children will remember me.
But in the meantime, I’ll be 10 to get a card or answer a phone call.

二、阅读理解
Last summer, I tried a simple DIY job—making hand-made candles. First, I bought soy wax(大豆蜡), essential oils(精油), glass jars and some dry flowers. I heated the wax slowly in a pot, added a few drops of lavender(薰衣草) oil, then poured it into the jars and put rose petals(花瓣) on top. Waiting for the candles to cool was slow but full of hope, like waiting for a small magic.
I sold the candles at a weekend market. At first, I was afraid to talk to people. But when a little girl smelled my candle and said, “It smells like a warm garden!” I felt brave. By the end of the day, I sold half of the candles and got my first DIY money.
This experience taught me that making things with hands is happy, and sharing them makes the happiness bigger. Even small DIY jobs can be big fun if we are brave to try.
