23、A letter written to a 12-year-old girl in Lithuania was delivered in December, almost 51 years after it was sent.

Now in her 60s, Genovefa Klonovska said after being handed the letter, “I thought that someone was pranking me.” The letter included a handmade, colored rose and two paper dolls. It was sent to Klonovska by a young girl in Poland. They exchanged letters in what is known as a pen pal program — when people write letters to each other without actually meeting.

The letter, together with 17 others, was discovered this past summer when a wall was taken down in a former post office in Vilnius.

The letters, from the late 1960s and early 1970s, were likely hidden by a postal worker after he searched them for money or valuables, Vilutis said. The senders were family members or pen pals from places such as Australia, Poland, or Russia. Street names and their numbering have changed in Vilnius, capital of Lithuania. Post office workers spent months looking for the people who were supposed to receive the letters — the recipients. Only five recipients were found. In several cases, children of dead recipients were handed a lost letter.

Deimante Zebrauskaite, head of Lithuania Post, said we felt a moral duty to do this. Zebrauskaite added, “One lady compared the experience to receiving a message from a bottle thrown into sea. People were emotional (动情的). Some people felt they saw a part of daily life of their dead parents.”

In the letter to Klonovska, sent from Koczary in Poland, a girl named Ewa complains buses no longer reach her village. Now in her 60s, Klonovska has no memory of Ewa. She probably wrote Ewa after finding her address in an advertisement for pen-pals in a newspaper. Their relationship stopped after the letter was not delivered. “The loss was not life-changing,” said Klonovska. She then asked, “What if they delivered a lost letter from a suitor (求婚者) to his love, and their wedding never happened?”

【1】The word “pranking” in paragraph 2 means ______.

A．playing a trick on

B．paying attention to

C．finding fault with

D．getting in touch with

【2】Why were some people emotional when they received the letters?

A．The arrival of the lost letters had been long expected.

B．They knew more about their parents through the letters.

C．A postal worker hid the letters for a selfish purpose.

D．Postal workers overcame difficulties to find the recipients.

【3】What did Klonovska try to express in the last paragraph?

A．All these letters were important reminders of memories.

B．She didn’t mind if the post office gave her the letter.

C．The course of her life would never change for the lost letter.

D．The lost letters could have caused serious consequences.

24、Four Days in the Highlands

Riding one of the world’s best trains is the ideal way to experience the peaks, valleys and first-class food of Scotland.

DAY 1

To pick up the Royal Scotsman you’ll need to be in Edinburgh the night before, thus giving you time to have dinner at the city’s coolest restaurant, the Little Chartroom. Then it’s a leisurely start as you board the Royal Scotsman, one of the world’s finest classic trains. Cabins are small but perfectly formed. Enjoy afternoon tea as you wind through valleys before arriving in Keith for the night. Then opt (选择) for drinks in the Observation Car, or stretch your legs in historic Keith.

DAY 2

After breakfast, head to the Observation Car. This is one of the best parts of the trip, as the train snakes alongside fishing villages and dense woodland. Then disembark for Cawdor Castle, one of Scotland’s loveliest privately owned castles. Take a guided tour before reboarding the train. Tonight is a formal dinner.

DAY 3

Today the train makes its way into Moray, with an unmatched coastline. Head to Ballindalloch, a grand castle. There’ll be champagne on the lawn, cakes in the house and a chance to wander through the ancient woodland. You’ll sleep well, possibly thanks to an on-board whisky tasting that hits just the right spot.

DAY 4

The train moves deep into the heart of the dramatic Cairngorms today. You can take fly-fishing or clay-pigeon shooting lessons at the Rothiemurchus Estate before heading off to one of Scotland’s crown jewels. Then it’s back on-board for one final delicious dinner and a teary goodbye.

25、It was late, about 10:15 p.m., when Janice Esposito arrived at the Bellport train station; she jumped into her Honda Odyssey and began the 20-minute drive home to her husband and seven-year-old son. She’d just returned from visiting her mother and had traveled the route many times before. She practically _______ on autopilot: a left onto Station Road, then a left on Montauk Highway, and then—wham! Out of nowhere a car T-boned Esposito’s minivan, _______ her to move backward some 100 feet onto the railroad tracks. She _______ in the minivan, bruised (撞伤) but mostly just knocked out by the _________ and the airbags.

As it happened, Pete DiPinto was getting ready for _______. He’d just closed his book   and was getting under the covers when he heard the sound of metal on metal and breaking glass coming from not far outside his bedroom window. A volunteer_______and retired teacher, DiPinto, 64, never _______to think. He grabbed a flashlight and, still dressed in his pajamas   (睡衣), ran out the door. “Any firefighter would have done what I did,” he told Newsday. “We’re always on_______.”

The first car he came upon, 2,000 feet from his front yard, was the one that had _______Esposito. Once DiPinto concluded the driver was OK, he looked around and __________Esposito’s minivan positioned on the railroad tracks. And then he heard a terrible sound: the bells signaling an oncoming __________.

“The gates were starting to come down,” he told Newsday. “I see the headlight of the train.” DiPinto ran quickly to Esposito’s minivan and knocked on the driver’s side window. She __________ looked at him, her eyes unfocused. “I don’t know where I am,” she said. She     seemed unhurt. “Honey, you’re on the railroad __________,” DiPinto shouted. “We have to get   you off right now!” He pulled hard on the __________, but the door was crashed in and __________. The   heavy diesel train, traveling at 65 miles per hour, was moving fast toward them. DiPinto ran to the passenger side and threw open the __________. “Please, don’t let her be __________,” he thought.     He pushed aside the deflating (瘪了的) airbags, grabbed Esposito’s arms, and__________her toward him across the passenger seat until he could help her out and quickly get her to ____________ behind a signal box a few feet away. Within six seconds, he estimated, the train crashed into the minivan. “It was like a Hollywood movie,” DiPinto told reporters the next day.
