This rainy afternoon I decided to visit the Great North Museum. Walking into the building, I
just felt excited, looking forward to what I was going to find out in the visit, something I would like toshare with my beloved husband when I got home.
Just as I walked past the Chinese Antique Porcelain section, one collection caught my eyes
and heart very much:
a Chinese plate with a drawing of a garden scene with two ladies, a child, a dog and a willow, very beautiful and unique. It reminded me that my mum used to have a similar plate
like that;of course it was not from the Ming Dynasty, but we had plates and bowls of a
similar design,following and serving us for many years.
I still remember every day mum was busy cooking for eight of us. While waiting for the
dinner to be ready, we would play in the garden, jumping up and down, with the family dogs and cats also running around. When the dinner was ready, we all ran over to the big round table,
everyone holding a bowl with rice, and chopsticks, getting ready to fight for the food on the table.My mum normally would prepare five or six dishes served with those beautiful Chinese plates.
The noises of chatting mixed with the warm heat, sweat, and wind blowing would slowly accompanythe sun setting down. The pleasant evening would come and purple and blue coloredthesky.Mum’sfacewasfullofshineandhappiness;she loved to see us finish all her dishes. She would alwaysbethelastpersontoeat,and basically the last to clear the leftovers. Mum always put herselflastandthechildrenfirst.ThenImovedawayandlivedsofarfromher,butthefoodthatshepreparedalwaysstaysinmyheart,andIalwaysrememberthebeautifulChineseplates.
Plates for many people can be just tools to serve food, nothing more than that. But for me they
are not plates, for me they are a memory.

A.Because its pattern and design were elegant.
B. Because it called up her previous experience.
C. Because she could share it with her husband.
D. Because she remembered Mum had the same plate.
26.What can we infer about the author from Paragraph 3?
A.She didn’t want to help her mother cook dinner.
B. She used to fight against her family for more food.
C. Her family enjoyed a warm and happy dinner atmosphere.
D. Her mum would serve precious dishes with Chinese plates.
27. How does the author sound while telling the story?
A. Touched.B. Excited.C. Pleased.D. Encouraged.
