Surely her daughter would make an even bigger effort to please he? 作文 /zuowen/ The Present 簡歷大全 /html/jianli/It was the old ladys birthday. 開題報告 /html/lunwenzhidao/kaitibaogao/She got up early to be ready for the post. From the second floor flat she could see the postman when he came down the street, and the little boy from the ground floor brought up her letters on the rare occasions when anything came. 畢業(yè)論文Today she was sure the would be something. Myra wouldnt forget her mothers birthday, even if she seldom wrote at other times. Of course Myra was busy. Her husband had been made Mayor, and Myra herself had got a medal for her work the aged. 作文 /zuowen/The old lady was proud of Myra, but Enid was the daughter she loved. Enid had never married, but had seemed content to live with her mother, and teach in a primary school round the corner. 畢業(yè) One evening, however, Enid said, "Ive arranged for Mrs. Morrison to look after you for a few days, Mother. Tomorrow I have to go into hospitaljust a minor operation, Ill soon be home." 論文代寫In the morning she went, but never came backshe died on the operating table. Myra came to the funeral, and in her efficient way arranged for Mrs. Morrison to come in and light the fire and give the old lady her breakfast. 開題報告 /html/lunwenzhidao/kaitibaogao/Two years ago that was, and since then Myra had been to see her mother three times, but her husband never. 作文 /zuowen/The old lady was eight today. She had put on her best dress. Perhapsperhaps Myra might come. After all, eighty was a special birthday, another decade lined or endured just as you chose to look at it. 畢業(yè)Even if Myra did not come, she would send a present. The old lady was sure of that. Two spots of colour brightened her cheeks. She was excitedlike a child. She would enjoy her day. Yesterday Mrs. Morrison had given the flat an extra clean, and today she had brought a card and a bunch of marigolds when she came to do the breakfast. Mrs. Grant downstairs had made a cake, and in the afternoon she was going down there to tea. The little boy, Johnnie, had been up with a packet of mints, and said he wouldnt go out to play until the post had come."I guess youll get lots and lots of presents," he said, "I did last were when I was six." 作文 /zuowen/What would she like? A pair of slippers perhaps. Or a new cardigan. A cardigan would be lovely. Blues such a pretty colour. Jim had always liked her in blue. Or a table lamp. Or a book, a travel book, with pictures, or a little clock, with clear black numbers. So many lovely things.She stood by the window, watching. The postman turned round the corner on his bicycle. Her heart beat fast. Johnnie had seen him too and ran to the gate. 思想?yún)R報 /sixianghuibao/Then clatter, clatter up the stairs. Johnnie knocked at her door. 論文代寫"Granny, granny," he shouted, "Ive got your post." 思想?yún)R報 /sixianghuibao/He gave her four envelopes. Three were unsealed cards from old friends. The fourth was sealed, in Myras writing. The old lady felt a pang of disappointment. 思想?yún)R報 /sixianghuibao/"No parcel, Johnnie?" 簡歷大全 /html/jianli/"No, granny." 開題報告 /html/lunwenzhidao/kaitibaogao/ Maybe the parcel was too large to come by letter post. That was it. It would come later by parcel post. She must be patient. 論文代寫 Almost reluctantly she tore the envelope open. Folded in the card was a piece of paper. Written on the card was a message under the printed Happy Birthday Buy yourself something nice with the cheque, Myra and Harold.The cheque fluttered to the floor like a bird with a broken wing. Slowly the old lady stooped to pick it up. Her present, her lovely present. With trembling fingers she tore it into little bits. 簡歷大全 /html/jianli/NEW WORDSrelative 開題報告 /html/lunwenzhidao/kaitibaogao/n. 親屬，親戚 present 畢業(yè) n. gift 禮物，贈品 思想?yún)R報 /sixianghuibao/postmann. 郵遞員 畢業(yè)rare 思想?yún)R報 /sixianghuibao/a. not happening often 罕見的；不常發(fā)生的occasion 畢業(yè)論文n. special time; time when sth. happens 時刻，時機(jī)；場合 畢業(yè)論文mayor 總結(jié)大全 /html/zongjie/n. chief official of a city or town 市長 畢業(yè)medal 畢業(yè)論文n. 獎?wù)?畢業(yè)論文aged 作文 /zuowen/a. old 思想?yún)R報 /sixianghuibao/content a. satisfied; pleased 滿意的；高興的 總結(jié)大全 /html/zongjie/primary 畢業(yè)論文a. first; earliest 首要的；最初的 總結(jié)大全 /html/zongjie/arrange vi. make preparations; plan 作安排，籌劃minor 畢業(yè)論文 a. not serious or important 較小的；次要的 畢業(yè)論文operatevi. cut the body in order to set right or remove a diseased part 開刀，動手術(shù) 作文 /zuowen/operating table 思想?yún)R報 /sixianghuibao/n. a special table in a hospital, where operations are done 手術(shù)臺 總結(jié)大全 /html/zongjie/funeral 開題報告 /html/lunwenzhidao/kaitibaogao/ n. 葬禮 畢業(yè)efficient 開題報告 /html/lunwenzhidao/kaitibaogao/a. able to plan and work well 效率高的 思想?yún)R報 /sixianghuibao/ decade 論文代寫n. ten years 思想?yún)R報 /sixianghuibao/endurevt. bear （pain, suffering, etc.） 忍受，忍耐 畢業(yè)論文spot 開題報告 /html/lunwenzhidao/kaitibaogao/n. a round area that is different from the main surface 點(diǎn)，斑點(diǎn) 開題報告 /html/lunwenzhidao/kaitibaogao/brighten 開題報告 /html/lunwenzhidao/kaitibaogao/vt. make bright or brighter 使發(fā)光；使發(fā)亮 論文代寫cheek 畢業(yè)論文 n. either side of the face below the eye 面頰 畢業(yè)extra 畢業(yè)論文a. additional 額加的，外加的 畢業(yè)cleann. cleaning 思想?yún)R報 /sixianghuibao/bunch 畢業(yè)n. things of the same kind that are tied together （一）束，（一）串 思想?yún)R報 /sixianghuibao/marigoldn. 萬壽菊（花） 簡歷大全 /html/jianli/packet 開題報告 /html/lunwenzhidao/kaitibaogao/n. small parcel box 小包（裹） 簡歷大全 /html/jianli/mint 總結(jié)大全 /html/zongjie/n. 薄荷糖 畢業(yè)slipper 論文代寫n. 拖鞋 開題報告 /html/lunwenzhidao/kaitibaogao/cardigann. （羊毛）開衫 畢業(yè)clatter 簡歷大全 /html/jianli/n. a number of rapid short knocking sounds 咔嗒聲 畢業(yè)論文granny 作文 /zuowen/n. （colloq. for）grandmother 總結(jié)大全 /html/zongjie/ envelope 總結(jié)大全 /html/zongjie/ n. a paper cover for a letter 信封 總結(jié)大全 /html/zongjie/unsealeda. 未密封的 seal 畢業(yè)vt. 總結(jié)大全 /html/zongjie/ sealed 畢業(yè)論文a. 密封的 思想?yún)R報 /sixianghuibao/writing 思想?yún)R報 /sixianghuibao/n. handwriting 書法；筆跡 畢業(yè)論文pang 論文代寫 n. sudden, sharp pain 劇痛 開題報告 /html/lunwenzhidao/kaitibaogao/disappointment 簡歷大全 /html/jianli/ n. sadness because one does not get what one hopes for 失望 畢業(yè)論文disappoint 論文代寫vt. 畢業(yè) parceln. 包裹 總結(jié)大全 /html/zongjie/reluctantly 畢業(yè)論文ad. unwillingly 不情愿地，勉強(qiáng)地 畢業(yè)論文reluctanta. 開題報告 /html/lunwenzhidao/kaitibaogao/fold 畢業(yè)vt. bend into two or more parts 折疊cheque 開題報告 /html/lunwenzhidao/kaitibaogao/n. 支票 簡歷大全 /html/jianli/flutter 思想?yún)R報 /sixianghuibao/ vt. move quickly to and fro in the air 飄動 開題報告 /html/lunwenzhidao/kaitibaogao/stoop 總結(jié)大全 /html/zongjie/vi. bend the body forwards and downwards 彎腰 簡歷大全 /html/jianli/tremble 思想?yún)R報 /sixianghuibao/ vi. shake uncontrollably with quick short movements 顫抖 開題報告 /html/lunwenzhidao/kaitibaogao/ PHRASES & EXPRESSIONS 畢業(yè)論文at other timeson other occasions 在別的時候；平時round / around the cornervery near in distance or time 在附近；即將來臨 作文 /zuowen/after all 思想?yún)R報 /sixianghuibao/in spite of everything; it must be remembered 畢竟；終究 論文代寫be sure of對有把握，確信 簡歷大全 /html/jianli/pick up 總結(jié)大全 /html/zongjie/take hold of and lift up from a surface 拿起，撿起 開題報告 /html/lunwenzhidao/kaitibaogao/PROPER NAMES 作文 /zuowen/Myra 邁拉（女子名）Enid 開題報告 /html/lunwenzhidao/kaitibaogao/伊妮德（女子名）Morrison 開題報告 /html/lunwenzhidao/kaitibaogao/莫里森（姓氏） 論文代寫Grant 論文代寫格蘭特（姓氏及男子名） 畢業(yè)論文Johnnie 簡歷大全 /html/jianli/約翰尼（John的昵稱） 畢業(yè)論文Jim 總結(jié)大全 /html/zongjie/吉姆（James的昵稱） 總結(jié)大全 /html/zongjie/Harold 畢業(yè)哈羅德（男子名） 作文 /zuowen/
