english traveler spent a few weeks in sweden. when he was about to return home he found that he had only enough money left to get a ticket to england. thinking the matter over , he decided that as it was only a two day voyage(航行) he could get home without eating anything. so he bought a ticket with that little money he had and went on board the ship(上船). he closed his ears to the sound of the lunch bell, and when dinner time came, he refused to go down to the place where people had their dinner, saying that he did not feel well. the following day he did not get up until breakfast was over , pretending(假裝)that he had overslept(睡過去). at lunch time, too, he kept out of the way. by dinner time, however, he became so hungry that he could even have eaten paper. “i cant stand(忍受) this any longer,”he said to himself.“i must have something to eat.”at the dinner table he ate everything put in front of him. when he was quite full, he felt stronger and at once went to see the waiter.“bring

satisfied to let the matter rest there. i took out the websters dictionary and read the definition(定義)to jenny. i explained, an antique is not only old, its an object existing since or belonging to earlier times.a work of art. piece of furniture. antiques are treasured, i told jenny as i put away the dictionary. they have to be handled carefully because they sometimes are very valuable. in order to qualify as an antique, the object has to be at least 100 years old.im only 67,i reminded jenny.we looked around the house for other antiques, besides me. there was a desk that was handed down from one aunt to another and finally to our family. its very old, i told jenny.“ i try to keep it polished and i show it off whenever i can. you do that with antiques. there was a picture on the wall purchased at a garage sale. it was dated 1867. now thats an antique, i boasted. over 100 years old. of course it was marked up and scratched and not in very good condition. sometimes age does that, i told jenny. but the marks are good marks. they show living, being around. thats something to display with pride. in fact, sometimes, the more an object shows age, the more valuable it can become. lt was important that i believed this for my own self-esteem.our tour of antiques continued. there was a vase on the floor. it had been in my house for a long time. i was not certain where it came from but i didnt buy it new. one thing about antiques, i explained to jenny, was that they usually had a story. theyd been in one home and then another, handed down from one family to another, traveling all over the place. theyd lasted through years and years. they could have been tossed away, or ignored. or destroyed, or lost. but instead, they survived. for a moment, jenny looked thoughtful. l dont have any antiques but you, she said. then her face brightened. could i take you to school for show and tell? only if i fit into your backpack, i answered. and then jennys antique lifted her up and embraced her in a hug that would last through the years.56. grandma read the definition of antique to jenny in order to .a. list all the important characteristics of antiquesb. tell jenny the

grandmas antiquecmy father had always been an alert observer of human character. within seconds of meeting someone, he could sum up their strengths and weaknesses. it was always a challenge to see if any of my boyfriends could pass dads test. none did. dad was always rightthey didnt pass my test either. after dad died, i wondered how id figure it out on my own.thats when jack arrived on the scene. he was different from any other guy id dated. he could sit for hours on the piano bench with my mother, discussing some composers. my brother rick loudly announced that jack wasnt a turkey like the other guys id brought home. jack passed my familys test. but what about dads?then came my mothers birthday. the day he was supposed to drive, i got a call. “dont worry,” he said, “but ive been in an accident. im fine, but i need you to pick me up.”when i got there, we rushed to a flower shop for something for mom. “how about gardenias (梔子花) ?” jack said, pointing at a beautiful white corsage (胸花). the florist put the corsage in a box.the entire ride, jack was unusually quiet. “are you all right?” i asked. “ive been doing a lot of thinking,” he said. “i might be moving.” moving? then he added, “moving in with you.” i nearly put the car on the sidewalk. “what?” i asked. “i think we should get married,” he said. he told me hed planned his proposal in a fancy restaurant, but after the accident, he decided to do it right away. “yes,” i whispered. we both sat dumbfounded, tears running down our cheeks. id never known such a tender moment, if only dad were here to give his final approval.“oh, lets just go inside.” jack laughed. my mother opened the door. “happy birthday!” we shouted. jack handed the box to her. she opened it up. suddenly, her eyes were filled with tears. “mom, whats wrong?” i asked. “im sorry,” she said, wiping her eyes. “this is only the second gardenia corsage ive ever received. i was given many years ago, long before you kids were born.” “from whom?” i asked. “your father,” mom said. “he gave me one right before we were engaged.” my eyes locked on jacks as i blinked away(眨掉) tears. dads test? i knew jack had passed.61. according to the

has not had a chance to go swimming for years can still swim as well as ever when he gets back in the water. he can get on a bicycle after many years and still ride away. he can play catch and hit a ball as well as his son. a mother who has not thought about the words for years can teach her daughter the poem that begins twinkle, twinkle, little star or remember the story of cinderella or goldilocks and the three bears. one explanation is the law of overlearning , which can be stated as follows: once we have learned something, additional learning trials(嘗試)increase the length of time we will remember it.in childhood we usually continue to practice such skills as swimming, bicycle riding, and playing baseball long after we have learned them. we continue to listen to and remind ourselves of words such as twinkle
