After a long, exhausting day, a friend of mine, Allen, headed home. On the road, he passed an elderly woman who was standing by a car with a flat tire. If that were his mother, he thought, he would want someone to help her. With a tired sigh, he turned around and drove back.
Just as he reached the stranded woman, a truck pulled up and a burly farmer got out. "Kindof reminds you of your mom, too?" the man asked as the two of them pitched in together to change the tire for the woman.

　　Mom was a teacher most of her life．When she wasn't in the classroom, she was educating her children or grandchildren：correcting our grammar; starting us on collections of butterflies, flowers or rocks; or inspiring a discussion on her most recent “Book of the Month Club” topic．Mom made learning fun．

　　“Whirr,” she said weakly．

　　“Where?” I asked．“Mom, is there something you want?” “Whirr,” she repeated a bit stronger．My brothers and I looked at each other and shook our heads sadly．

　　Mom opened her eyes, sighed, and with all the energy she could master said, “Not was, say were!”

　　It had been some time since Jack had seen the old man．College, career, and life itself got in the way．In fact, Jack moved clear across the country for his dreams．There, in the rush of his busy life, Jack had little time to think about the past and often no time to spend with his wife and son．He was working on his future, and nothing could stop him．

　　Over the phone, his mother told him, “Mr．Belser died last night．The funeral(葬礼)is Wednesday．”Memories flashed through his mind like an old newsreel as he sat quietly remembering his childhood days．

　　“Jack, did you hear me?”

　　“Oh, sorry, Mom．Yes, I heard you．It’s been so long since I thought of him．I’m sorry, but I honestly thought he died years ago,” Jack said．

　　“Well, he didn’t forget you．Every time I saw him he’d ask how you were doing．He’d reminisce(回忆)about the many days you spent over ‘his side of the fence’ as he put it,” Mom told him．

　　“I loved that old house he lived in,” Jack said．

　　“You know, Jack, after your father died, Mr．Belser stepped in to make sure you had a man’s influence in your life,” she said．

　　“He’s the one who taught me carpentry．I wouldn’t be in this business if it weren’t for him．He spent a lot of time teaching me things he thought were important…Mom, I’ll be there for the funeral,” Jack said．

　　Busy as he was, he kept his word．Jack caught the next flight to his hometown．Mr．Belser’s funeral was small and uneventful．He had no children of his own, and most of his relatives had passed away．

　　The night before he had to return home, Jack and his Mom stopped by to see the old house next door one more time, which was exactly as he remembered．Every step held memories．Every picture, every piece of furniture…Jack stopped suddenly．

　　“What’s wrong, Jack?” his Mom asked．

　　“The box is gone,” he said．

　　“What box?” Mom asked．

　　“There was a small gold box that he kept locked on top of his desk．I must have asked him a thousand times what was inside．All he’d ever tell me was ‘the thing I value most’,” Jack said．

　　It was gone．Everything about the house was exactly how Jack remembered it, except for the box．He figured someone from the Belser family had taken it．

　　“Now, I’ll never know what was so valuable to him,” Jack said sadly．

　　Returning to his office the next day, he found a package on his desk．The return address caught his attention．

　　“Mr．Harold Belser” it read．

　　Jack tore open the package．There inside was the gold box and an envelope．Jack’s hands shook as he read the note inside．

　　“Upon my death, please give this box and its contents to Jack Bennett．It’s the thing I valued most in my life．” A small key was taped to the letter．His heart racing, and tears filling his eyes, Jack carefully unlocked the box．There inside he found a beautiful gold pocket watch．Running his fingers slowly over the fine cover, he opened it．

　　Inside he found these words carved：“Jack, Thanks for your time!Harold Belser．”

　　“Oh, My God!This is the thing he valued most…”

　　Jack held the watch for a few minutes, then called his assistant and cleared his appointments for the next two days．“Why?” his assistant asked．

　　“ I need some time to spend with my son,” he said．

(1)

[　　]
A．	Because he was grateful for Jack’s time with him．
B．	Because he had no children or relatives．
C．	Because he thought he had to keep his word．
D．	Because Jack had always wanted it during his childhood．

(3)

Why did Jack say he needed some time to spend with his son?

A．	He was very tired of his work and wanted to have a good rest．

Madeline on Dec. 24, 2010 7:25 PM
Years ago, as a young mom with two small children, I struggled to keep up with the demands of a busy life. One day, I woke up feeling so tired that I knew something had to change!
A friend gave me some Royal Jelly—an amazing substance(物质)from the beehive(蜂房). I was doubtful, but desperate…so I tried it! In time, I began to experience renewed energy and vitality(活力)like never before! Now, over two decades later, I travel all round the country, sharing my life-changing experience. I’m grateful for the energy to keep up and love to share this wonderful discovery with others.
Blanca on Dec. 25, 2010 7:02 PM
Ten years ago, when I was 73, my mind wanted to be busy and useful, but my body didn’t. I became tired and lethargic(无精打采的). That’s when my daughter Madeline tried to persuade me to try her special Royal Jelly. It made such a dramatic(巨大的)difference in her life, so she was sure it could help me too! Hesitating for 2 days, I gave in. She was right! I no longer felt worn out. I had a new, youthful zest(热情)for life and I’ve been OK — thanks to Royal Jelly!
Lori on Dec. 25, 2010 10:27 PM
When my mom Madeline was introduced to Royal Jelly, it affected my life, too! Mom gave me some of her fantastic Royal Jelly. Boy, things did turn around! I had more energy and stamina(耐力)and was finally able to keep up with high school and, eventually, college activities. Today, I’m a busy mom in my mid-thirties with two active boys and a new business! I have enough energy to do it all! I’m glad I took my Mom’s advice.
