When my daughter Kelsey was a child, she loved to join me in the garden. To1 chaos(混亂)in my own garden beds, I provided her with a space of her own, so Kelsey’s Corner was born. There she was2 to dig and plant as she wished. Over time, that small piece of land grew into a favorite place in the3.
As she approached high school, Kelsey took her4 off the garden. I didn’t5 to accept this change. It seemed acceptable that something as boring as working in the dirt gave way to the mystery of a(n)6 social life, so I began to take care of the space. Even so, I knew it always would be Kelsey’s Corner.
Now my daughter is eighteen and is in the7 weeks of her high school career. Our mailbox is filled with college admission materials,8 me that the world has come for this young lady and that she will soon answer its9. Kelsey is looking forward to her wonderful college life10 her mother and I are anxious about the coming life11 our daughter around.
Kelsey’s Corner seems extremely deserted in this early spring12 Kelsey’s leaving. One morning, when I13 past Kelsey’s Corner, I noticed some green seedlings had14 at the foot of some dead stalks(稈).
It’s15 that life is a cycle. Kelsey’s leaving is16 one point on the cycle. Now the life wheel will roll with Kelsey as she17 into her adult life.
Let her live as she will and let her18 when she can, and whether she comes alone or in19, she will be welcome home. I’11 take care of Kelsey’s Corner faithfully. It will also cycle annually, rolling on towards a20 stage of our lives, one that promises a rich harvest.

I HEAR America beeping(嘟嘟響).

 Beep,says my cellophane when it gets a text message.

  Beep,says my microwave oven when my sandwich  is warmed up. 

 Sometimes  I long for a natural sound:a bird singing,dog barking,children laughing, anything to drown out  the maddening beeps that have become the soundtrack(配樂)to modern life.

  My cellophane? It isn’t enough that its ring tone offerings seem to stretch from  “annoymg” toextremely “annoying”. It also has to beep whenever someone texts messages me. 

The microwave? A bell rings when it's finished heating my food.But is that enough? No.If I don’t rush to it right away, it starts beeping,like an impatient child tugging(用力拉) at my sleeve(袖子).

 The smoke detector(探測器) is the worst offender.When its batteries are in need of replacement,it 1ets out a series of chirps.The things that don’t beep buzz(嗡嗡響).And for some reason,beeping and buzzing is beneath them,they clear their throats and perform a symphony. Like my TV, each time I turn it on, it performs an aria(詠嘆調(diào)):La di da di dum.Salutions! Here I am! Same thing when I turn it off: La di da di dum.Good bye, kind sir! Until the next time

But at 1east I know where each of these sounds is coming from.That isn’t always the case.For weeks, my wife and I were awoken in the night by a beeping.There,in the stillness, we went through the possible suspects.Could we have a text message? Could it be any of the devices(裝置)able to make a sound? Curling iron, rice cooker, smoke detector, TV set,clock radio...

The only way to tell was to chase the sound down ,but no sooner  would we pull on our bathrobes than the beeping would stop. We didn’t hear it every night but often enough that we would climb into bed wondering whether our sleep  would be interrupted by that maddening sound,that beep.

  Finally,early one morning,my wife found it:in the study,under a desk,a big plastic cube that was plugged into the wall.It was an uninterruptible power supply that we’d inherited(繼承)from my wife’s mother.We’d never known it was capable of speech. 

I think it just wanted someone to talk to.

14.What does the writer truly mean by saying“I hear America beeping”?

A.American people like devices that beep.

B.Americans are crazy about sending text messages.

C.In modern society people are dependant on technology.

D.The soundtrack to modern life is no longer natural.

15.Why couldn’t the author and his wife find the source of the noise in their house in the beginning?

A.There were too many devices for them to check.

B.They were unwilling to get up at midnight.

C.They had never known that thing could beep too.

D.The noise didn’t come every day.

16.After reading this passage,we can probably tell the author    

   A.enjoys being surrounded by beeps  B.has a touch of humor in his writing

C.tries to avoid using anything that beeps

D.understands the beeping is designed to be user-friendly

Chris, my brother, aged four, looked down at us with hesitation, asking in a 48 voice, “Are you sure I’ll land on the blanket?” But because of a problem at 49 with his tongue being a bit attached to the mouth, it came out like this, “Ah you sho awill lan on da blanked?” “Yup!” I told him, “We’re sure!” and he let go.

How   50  he was to trust us! And no matter how 51 we held, Chris fell right 52 that sheet and landed on his stomach. This tiny seventy-pound boy had made a big   53  right in the sheet!

Because he wasn’t moving, we bent down to   54  if he was still alive. Slowly, he uttered these five words, “Ah stee hi da flow!”, in other words, “I still hit the floor!” Poor little man!
