Windsor Castle(温莎城堡)is one of the most famous castles in the world．It lies in Windsor
Town，32 kilometers west of London City ,by the south bank of the River Thames．People built the
castle just outside of London to protect the capital of Britain．
Windsor Castle has a long and rich history．It began to be built in 1 066．People rebuilt it again and again during every period in history to today’S dimensions(范围)．For almost 1，000 years，the castle has been used as the family home of British kings and queens．It was also used as a prison(监狱)during the English Civil War．Today ,Windsor Castle is the private home of Queen Elizabeth II．She spends most of her private weekends there．
Although it is still a living place of the royal(皇家)family ,the public can visit much of the castle．It is one of the most popular sights in Britain．There，art lovers can enjoy some of the finest paintings by Rembrandt and Canaletto．Visitors can also take a look at George IV’s private apartments．They are some of the most beautiful rooms in the castle．

There was a boy and his family was very rich．One day his father took him on a trip to a place．
He wanted to show his son how poor people were there．They spent several days on a farm．There were many poor families living on the farm．
On their way home，the father asked the son，“How was the trip?”“It was great，Dad，”the son answered．“Did you notice how poor people were there? ”asked his father．“Oh，yes，”said the son．“So，tell me，”said his father．The son said，“Well，we have one dog and they have four．We have a pool in our garden，while they have a river that has no end．We have expensive lanterns，but they have stars above their heads at night．We have only a small piece of land to live on，while they have the endless fields．We buy our food，but they grow theirs．We have high walls around our houses to protect us．but they don’t need walls．because their friends will protect them．”

My mother knew where we were at all times．She knew who our friends were．We had to clean clothes and take a bath every day．We had to be in bed by 9：00 p．m．and up at 8：00 a.m. We couldn’t sleep till noon like our friends．So while they slept，our mother gave us work to do．We had to wash dishes，make our beds and learn to cook．I believe she lay awake at night thinking up unkind things for us to do．
Through the years，things didn’t improve a bit．We could not lie in bed “sick” like our friends did in order to miss school．
My mother was the unkindest mother．Out of four children，a couple of us went on to higher education．None of us have ever done bad things．She forced us to grow up into educated(受教育)and honest people．I am trying to raise my three children like this．I will feel proud when my children call me unkind．Because you see，I am thankful that I had the unkindest mother in the whole world．

Amy was looking for a gift for her little daughter．Suddenly she stopped before a store of dolls．“Girls like dolls，”she thought as she stepped into it．Looking around，she saw a grandma doll…one with gray hair and a pair of glasses．In her mind appeared Joyce，her mother．
When Amy was a little girl，she got her first doll from Joyce for her birthday．Then the second，the third．．．A doll a year never arrived late．
“ Why always a doll? ” This question had been in Amy’s mind until one day her father gave the answer．
Little Joyce dreamed to have a doll．Her parents promised(答应)one for her fifth birthday．Sadly ,they both died in a traffic accident before it arrived．The never-received gift was the most precious(珍贵的)in her eyes．
Her mother’s story being recalled，Amy got an idea． It was Joyce’s birthday．A package(包裹)was sent to her with a card that read：
Dear Joyce ,
I forget to send you the package that you should have received on May 20,1 956,your fifth Birthday．The gift inside has aged ,but I thought that you might still wish to have it。
Love ,Angel of Joy
Joyce opened the package and saw a lovely grandma doll．She clasped the doll that she had waited so many years for ,crying softly．The doll given by “Angel of Joy”，made her the happiest “child” in the world．
Why did Joyce think dolls were the best birthday gifts for Amy?

Who sent a grandma doll to Joyce indeed(真正的)on her birthday?

The underlined word “clasped” means“        ”in the passage．
