OUR children grew up on peanut butter (花生酱) and jelly (果酱) sandwiches. The right jelly makes them very happy, and homemade is the only choice.
I wasn’t the jelly maker in this family. My mother-in-law was. She didn’t provide a wide range of flavors (味道), either. It was either grape or blackberry. And since we liked both flavors, we usually picked whatever jar was at the front of the pantry (食物储藏室).
It was always there. Jelly making was just a way of life for her. She always did it, following the same habits ---from picking the fruit to setting the finished jelly on the homemade shelves.
This past December, my mother-in-law passed away. Among the things in the house to be divided up were the remaining canned (罐装的) goods. Each of us chose from the many jars of tomato juice, green beans and jelly.
The other day I reached in there to get jelly for a quick sandwich, and there it was. Sitting all alone on the far side of the shelf was a small jar of grape jelly. Written on the lid with a black marker was “GR” for grape and the year the jelly had been made.
As I picked up the jar, I suddenly realized something that I had failed to see earlier. This was the last jar we would ever have from my mother-in-law’s patient, loving hands. Our children had never known a day without their grandmother’s jelly. It seems like such a small thing, but it was a great treasure.
Holding that last jar in my hand, my heart traveled back to meeting my mother-in-law for the first time. I saw her crying on our wedding (婚礼) day, and later, kissing and loving our children. I saw her walking in the woods or riding the wagon (马车). I saw her surrounded by loving children at her funeral.(葬礼)
I put the jelly back on the shelf. No longer was it just a jar of jelly. I guess I believed that as long as it was there, my mother-in-law would always live on.According to the passage, the jelly maker is the __________.

IT’S a scene in many homes around the world: tired-eyed teens wake to the sound of their alarm clock. Another school day begins, and we all wish we could have just one extra hour of sleep.
For lucky high school students in England, they’re now going to reset their alarm and get an extra hour of sleep. Instead of starting school at 9 am, students will begin the academic day at 10 am.
This is part of a huge study by Oxford University. The experiment will see whether later classes can improve exam results.
More than 100 schools across England will join the four-year experiment, which includes tens of thousands of students. It is based on（以…为基础） scientific evidence（证据； 迹象）that teenagers are out of step with traditional school hours.
“We know that something funny happens when you’re a teenager,” lead sleep researcher Colin Epsie told The Telegraph. “Your parents think it’s because you’re lazy and everything would be OK if you could get to sleep earlier. But science is telling us that teenagers need to sleep more in the mornings.”
A similar experiment in 2009 saw an improvement of 19 percent in exam scores for major subjects – such as math and science.
Teenagers’ sleep cycles, on average, begin two hours after adults. Neuroscientists (神经科学家) say teens have a built-in clock, which makes them more likely to go to sleep around midnight. As well as not feeling fully awake until between 9 am and 10 am. This body clock stays until the age of 19 for females and 21 for males.
Schools are places for learning, as well as education laboratories – finding out the best ways to learn and increase knowledge. Yet we’ll have to wait until 2018 to find out these exciting results!England high school students usually start school __________.
| A．at 7 am | B．at 8 am | C．at 9 am | D．at 10 am |
Teenagers feel hard to get up early because _________.
| A．they are too lazy |
| B．their sleep cycles are later than adults |
| C．they stay up late at night |
| D．they hate going to school |
The aim of the experiment in 2009 was to __________.
| A．find out whether later classes can improve exam results |
| B．test how students’ body clocks work |
| C．compare teenagers’ and adults’ sleeping styles |
| D．help teachers to find the best way to teach |
The article is focused on（聚焦）the topic that _________.
| A．teenagers need more sleep than adults |
| B．students might need more hours’ sleep in the morning |
| C．boys need more sleep in the morning than girls |
| D．it is important to do more experiments on education |
Chinese player Li Na, a two-time Grand Slam (网球大满贯赛事) champion, announced her retirement on Sept 21 because of long-term knee injuries. Although it was a hard decision, Li said she had no regrets (遗憾).
“I don’t feel sorry about retiring, because I’ve tried my best,” said the 32-year-old.
Becoming professional at the age of 17, Li has set many milestones (里程碑) for Chinese tennis. She was the first Chinese player to win a WTA title and the first to break into the top 20. Li won the 2011 French Open title and became the first Asian player to ever win a Slam. By winning this year’s Australian Open, she became the first Asian player with two Slams.
