阅读理解

The River Thames runs straight through the City of London. People have lived beside it for thousands of years. Like the sea, the river is tidal(有潮的). When the tide goes out, the muddy foreshore(泥泞的滩地) can be seen: For as long as people have been living beside this river, they have been throwing things into it such as rubbish, or maybe something valuable. The River Thames holds many secrets.

During the 18th century, many poor people would stand in the river's mud when the tide was out. They would search for hidden treasures. They did not expect to find anything of real value like coins or jewels (珠宝), but simple objects they could sell or trade for food. They were known as mud larks. The job was never easy, because the water could be freezing cold.

Today, people continue to search the foreshore for hidden treasures. It's different from over 200 years ago. All mud larks in the River Thames now need to have a license. Anything they find of historic interest has to be reported to the Museum of London.

Recently, Londoner Martin Bushel was mud larking. He found something that looked like the top of a human skull (头盖骨). He called the police and passed it onto them. When he was walking by the river a few days later, he saw some policemen searching the area. He was worried that he might become involved in a murder case(卷入一起谋杀案). Later he received a phone call telling him that what he had found was really from a human skull. However, it was5, 600 years old and was put on show in the Museum of London.

①My daughter's pet fish is dying. Recently I find myself spending minutes and even hours staring at the clear round bowl, hoping for another performance of its wonderful dance. To be honest, I am not a fish person. Compared with cats and dogs, fish can neither play nor walk with me. To me, they are just so boring.

②But every morning now, I tap on the bowl, shake out some fish food and carefully throw it into the bowl, hoping the fish can eat it with the least effort. I try to make the fish more comfortable. Yet there's so little that I can do. The fish just remains still (一动不动的) at the bottom of the bowl.

③"Come on! Eat something!" I say. And suddenly I realize that somebody said the exact same sentences to me before. Many times.

④I think of the banana pancakes that my mother would serve me every time I became sick and stayed in bed. They were my favorite treat and always made me feel much better. "Come on! Eat something! Your body needs to be strong!" My mom would always say. What made me even warmer was the idea that she would always, always be there when I needed her.

⑤Many years later, I tried to do the same when my mother became sick. She was only 61 but seemed to get weaker every day. "Would you like some green tea?" Again and again, I would ask, "What about some cake? Hot chocolate? Strawberries?" I gently encouraged her to eat because I didn't know what else to do. "Please, Mom! Eat something! Your body needs to be strong!" But she would not. There she was, lying still on the bed, with her eyes closed. That was the last time I saw her.

⑥The fish is still lying at the bottom of the bowl. I stare at it and suddenly a familiar (熟悉的) face comes into my mind. Then I say in a low voice, "Mom, ▲ ."
