A I was in a rush as always, but this time it was for an important date I just couldn’t be late for! I found myself at a checkout counter behind an elderly woman in no hurry as she paid for her groceries(食品杂货). A PhD student with not a lot of money, I had hurried into the store to pick up some flowers. We were in Boston, a place not always known for small conversation between strangers. The woman stopped emptying her basket and looked up at me. She smiled. It was a nice smile – warm and comforting – and I returned her gift by smiling back. “Must be a special lady, whoever it is that will be getting those beautiful flowers,” she said. “Yes, she’s special,” I said, and then to my surprise, the words kept coming out. “It’s only our second date, but somehow I am just having the feeling she’s ‘the one’,” Jokingly, I added, “The only problem is that I can’t figure out why she’d want to date a guy like me.” “Well, I think she’s very lucky to have a boyfriend who brings her such lovely flowers and who is obviously in love with her,” the woman said. “My husband used to bring me flowers every week – even when times were tough and we didn’t have much money. Those were unbelievable days; he was very romantic and – of course – I miss him since he has passed away.” I paid for my flowers as she was gathering up her groceries. Almost without any hesitation, I walked up to her. I touched her on the shoulder and said, “You were right, you know. These flowers are indeed for a very special lady.” I handed her the flowers and thanked her for such a nice conversation. It took her a moment to realize that I was giving her the flowers I had just bought. “You have a wonderful evening,” I said. I left her with a big smile and my heart warmed as I saw her smelling the beautiful flowers. I was slightly late for my date that night and told my girlfriend the above story. A couple of years later, when I finally worked up the courage to ask her to marry me, she told me it was that night that I won her heart. 41.What does the phrase “her gift” refer to? A. Her smile.B.
