It was time for Mr. Rocco to shut up the shop when I hurried into the flower shop. "Now, what is it you want?" Mr. Rocco turned to me. "I want the most beautiful flower you have," I replied. "And just how much do you have to pay for this most beautiful flower?" I held out a wet hand showing a quarter and dime. He nodded, and then showed me a plant on the counter. "I can give you this one for 35 cents," he said. "Aw, gee," I protested, "it looks like a weed（草）!" About 18 inches high, the plant was in a small pot covered with faded red paper. "Now trust me, boy - I promi that tomorrow morning when you get up, you will find your most beautiful flower," said Mr. Rocco. I knew him to be a good honest man, so I agreed to take it.
It was almost midnight when I arrived home. Mum was riously sick and using the front bedroom. I looked in to e if she was asleep, and then quietly tiptoed in and t the plant on the table beside her
bed. I wanted her to be surprid when she woke on Mother's Day.
The next morning, I dresd and hurried downstairs. The sun was shining through the kitchen window as I looked into Mum's room and glanced over at the table where the plant was. My goodness! There were three big yellow trumpet-shaped blooms. It was just like Mr. Rocco said --the most beautiful flower I ever saw! When I looked at Mum, she was smiling as tears streamed down her cheeks. She held out her hand for me to come near, then pulled me clo and hugged me till it hurt. Then, remembering her contagious condition and that she wasn't suppod to touch me, she quickly let me go.
My dear mum died the next night. The moment she hugged me turned out to be the most wonderful moment of my life. Not only had that beautiful plant helped show just how much I loved her, but I'd always know how much she loved me.

July 2nd of 2017 marked the 80th anniversary of the disappearance of Amelia Earhart, a pioneering pilot, and her copilot Fred Noonan over the Pacific Ocean, as they attempted笔记本电脑怎么设置开机密码
to fly around the globe in a Lockheed Electra plane.
The many theories surrounding the pair's death into two broad groups: they crashed into the a and drowned, or they crashed onto Nikumaroro, a remote island, where they starved to death. An American forensic anthropologist（法医人类学家）has new evidence that greatly increas the likelihood of their having suffered the cond fate.
In 1940, three years初三物理课本
after the Electra's disappearanc春节记事
e, a working party found human bones on the then uninhabited Nikumaroro. Nearby, they also found a part of a shoe they judged to be a woman's. The bones were removed to a medical school where David Hoodless measured them and concluded that they had belonged to a strong, middle-aged male.
Hoodless ud certain formulae（公式）to calculate height from bone length, and concluded that the castaway was five feet five-and-a-half inches tall. Hoodless also ud three indicators of x: the proportion of the circumference（周长）of the femur（大腿骨）to its length; the angle between the femur and the pelvis（骨盆）强可以组什么词
; and the sub-public（趾骨下的）angle between the two bones in the pelvis.
Of tho three indicators, only the sub-public angle is still considered valid. Even today, says Dr. Jantz, an experienced forensic anthropologist, making a x asssment on the basis of this angle a
lone will not get it right all of the time. Hoodless obrved that the bones were "weather-beaten", and other damage which Dr Jantz thinks was more likely to have been caud by crabs.
If Hoodless was right, the remains could not have been thsoe of the slim Earhart, who driving and pilot's licences gave her height as five feet ven and five feet eight respectively. Nor could they have been Noonan's, since he was a quarter of an inch over six feet tall. But Dr Jantz
concludes that in 1941, with the tools at his disposal, Dr Hoodless was unlikely to have been in his asssment.
Dr Jantz also describes some new rearch into the matter. He compared Hoodless's measurements to tho of the skeletons of 2,700 white Americans who died between the 19th and mid-20th centuries. He included measurements of Earhart's own bones calculated from photographs of her. He concludes that her bones more cloly rembled the castaway's then do 99% of the reference sample.
That finding might be enough to convince tho who have until now supported Hoodless's conclusion. The truth may never be known fully. But even if tho who claim she drowned succeed in explaining away the remblance Dr Jantz has unearthed, another mystery awaits an answer. If the
castaway was not Earhart, who was it?
8. What is the new evidence?
A. A part of a shoe is judged to be a woman's.
B. The bones are believed to have belonged to a male.
C. The driving and pilot's licences have been found, which suggests the castaway was Amelia Earhart.
D. Dr Jantz has discovered魁梧的近义词
a remblance between Earhart and the castaway.
9. What will a person who believe Hoodless' theory most probably agree with?
A. Armelia Earhart died becau she couldn't find anything to eat on Nikumaroro.
B. Since the castaway was taller than Armelia Earhart, the bones could have been Noonan's.
C. Earhart and Noonan crashed into the a and drowned.
D. It's difficult to get it right when making a x asssment on the basis of the sub-public angle.
10. How did Dr Jantz conduct his rearch?
A. He calculated Earhart's height from photographs of her and made a comparison.
B. He examined the spend at which crabs did damage to bones to estimate the height of the castaway.
C. He improved the tools which had once been ud by Hoodless to get more accurate results.
D. He took measurements of Earhart's bones and found that the measurements rembled the castaway's.
