It was Mother's Day. John was so busy with his work that he couldn't go back home. When he passedby a flower shop in the evening, an idea came to his mind. "I'll send Mum some roses."While John was picking his flowers, a young man went inside. "How many roses can I get for only five dollars, Madam?" he asked. The assistant was trying to tell him roses were as expensive as forty dollars a dozen (一打). Maybe he would be happy with carnations (康乃馨).

"No, I have to have red roses." He said, "My mum was badly ill last year and I didn't get to spend much time with her. Now I want to get something special, it has to be roses as rose is her favorite."

After hearing it, John said he would pay the rest of the money for the young man. Moved by both of them,the assistant said," Well, lovely young men, thirty dollars a dozen, only for you." Taking the roses, the youngman almost jumped into the air and ran out of the shop. It was well worth twenty-five dollars John paid to seethe exciting moment. Then John paid for his dozen of roses and told the assistant to send them to his mother.

As he walked out, he felt nice. Suddenly he saw the young man crossing the street and going into a park. But soon he realized it was not a park but a cemetery (墓地). Crying, the young man carefully laid the roses,"Mum, oh, Mum, why didn't I tell you how much I loved you? God, please help me find my mum and tell her I love her."

Seeing this, John turned and quickly walked to the shop. He would take the flowers home himself.

【解析】母親節(jié)的時(shí)候，John想買束玫瑰花，讓助手送給媽媽。在花店John偶遇了一個(gè)年輕人，還幫助他付了一部分玫瑰花的錢，當(dāng)他看到年輕人把買的花拿到了他去世的媽媽的墓前大聲哭泣的時(shí)候，John突然想明白了，要親自給媽媽把花送去，并告訴媽媽他愛她。

【1】根據(jù)短文的最后Suddenly he saw the young man crossing the street and going into a park. But soon he realized it was not a park but a cemetery (墓地). Crying, the young man carefully laid the roses...可知，年輕人買了玫瑰花去了墓地，他的媽媽去世了，故此題答案為The young man's mother。

【2】根據(jù)短文中The assistant was trying to tell him roses were as expensive as forty dollars a dozen、Moved by both of them,the assistant said," Well, lovely young men, thirty dollars a dozen, only for you."以及It was well worth twenty-five dollars John paid to seethe exciting moment. Then John paid for his dozen of roses可知，玫瑰花本來40美元一打，但服務(wù)員為他們優(yōu)惠了10美元，賣給他們30美元一打，John買了一打玫瑰花是30美元，然后他又為年輕人付了25美元，因此他一共花費(fèi)了55美元。

【3】這是一個(gè)開放的題目，題意是：你想對媽媽說“我愛你，媽媽”這句話嗎？并說明原因。如果你的回答是肯定的，那么原因應(yīng)該是你想讓媽媽知道你是愛她的；如果是否定的回答，那么原因可能是如你不擅長表達(dá)，但可以從實(shí)際行動中讓媽媽知道你愛她。
