阅读理解

    I work as a volunteer for a group that helps the poor in Haiti. I decided to take my son Brain there for a week, hoping to educate(教育) him.

    Before getting out, I told Brain this trip would be tiring and hard. For the first two days, he said almost nothing. Then on the third day, when we were climbing over high rocky mountains(高山), he turned to me and smiled, “Really hard.”

After that, a five-year-old girl, wearing a too large dress and broken shoes, followed Brain around. Later he said, “I wish I could speak French.” I was surprised that this was from a boy who always hated French classes.

    However, the moment that really reached my heart occurred in a village in the mountains. I was interviewing(采访) a woman villager for an article. By working hard, she learned to read and write and became one of the leaders of the village.

    Learning her story, Brain was greatly touched. His eyes were wet and there was love and respect(尊重) on his face. He finally understood the importance of my work. When leaving for home, Brain even offered to stay in as a volunteer. This trip was very meaningful.

 阅读下面短文,根据短文内容选择正确答案。

When I was eight years old,my family moved from Edinburgh to London because my father started a new job here. The new place was far away from my grandmother,so we sometimes spent a couple of hours driving to Edinburgh to visit her when we missed her terribly. Her house was hundreds of miles away but the trip was never boring. 

Grandma never had much. She didn't have expensive things,or live in a nice house. But I could feel with my heart that she loved us deeply,especially when my world was turned upside down two years later. Grandma knew that my mother and father divorced and I lived with my father. I would actually like to live with my mother. 

I still remember those little things. Grandma allowed me to sit on the top of her kitchen table,getting me to dip(蘸)my fingers in the sugar bowl or drink from her coffee cup. Grandma had a beautiful bottle high on a shelf. One day after her death,I received a box. To my surprise,I found the bottle inside. She remembered once I had asked her for it. 

Grandma saved her pennies in a glass jar(罐). She could have used those pennies herself but she kept them for my brother Tommie and me. And I was always excited to divide the pennies between my brother and me. "One for you,one for me. " I would repeat until the jar was empty. I don't remember how much we got on our visits,but I know that's how she loved us and cared about us when we were far away from her. So if I am lucky enough to find a penny lying on the ground one day. I am sure it is just the one from Grandma in heaven(天堂). 

Those childhood memories have never gone away from me. Instead,they still give me great feelings through the years. A Grandma's love stays with a grandchild as long as he needs it. You know,love is just like that.

Last summer, my parents and I were planning to travel. We finally {#blank#}1{#/blank#} (choose) Shanghai. Shanghai is a large, crowed and modern city but it also has lots {#blank#}2{#/blank#} historical places.
