On February 3rd,1949,New York Harbor(港) was an exciting place.Many people were there to greet a ship from France.On the ship were 49 French railroad boxcars(火车车厢) filled with gifts from the people of France to the people of America.These boxcars were from the famous Merci Train (Merci,a French word meaning "thank you").
After world War Ⅱ,a lot of factories,roads and farms in France had been destroyed.Many French people had no jobs or money and had little to wear and little to eat.In the winter of 1947,a train was sent across the United States,stopping in cities and towns along the way.At every stop,people gave whatever they could.Factories gave clothing and medicine.Farmers gave food.Families gave money.Even school children gave away their pocket money.All the things were then taken to France by ship.
By 1949,the French had begun to recover(恢复) from the war.The Merci Train was their way of saying "thank you" to America.French people had filled the boxcars with gifts.Most of them were personal,like hand-made toys,children's drawings,or postcards.But the boxcars themselves were perhaps the most meaningful of the gifts.On each car,the French people had painted the pictures of all their 40 provinces,with an American eagle on the front.The boxcars were taken to each state of America,where they were warmly greeted.
Now many of the states still keep their boxcars.Gifts sent by the French people can still be seen in some museums.The Merci Train came out of the war,but it now reminds the world that countries can also work together in peace.[来源:学+科+网Z+X+X+K]

C
She was dancing. My lame grandmother was dancing. I stood in the living room doorway, looking
at her beautiful movements, absolutely shocked. And then she’d had her accident and it was all over. I had
read that in an old newspaper article.
“So… Your leg? I mean, how did your leg heal (恢复健全)?”
“To tell you the truth — my legs have been well all my life,” she sighed.
“But I don’t understand!” I said, “Your dancing career (事业)… You pretended all these years?”
“Very much so, and for a very good reason.”
She thought for a while and then continued. “We were talking about engagement (订婚) when
your grandfather had to go to war. I was so afraid of losing him that the only way I could stay normal was
to dance. I put all my energy and time into practicing and I became very good. Critics (评论家)praised
me,the public loved me, but all I could feel was the ache in my heart, not knowing whether the love of my
life would ever return. Then one day a letter came. There were only three sentences: “I have lost my leg. I
am no longer a whole man and now give you back your freedom. It is best you forget about me.”
“I made my decision there and then. I traveled away from the city. When I returned I had bought
myself a stick. I told everyone I had been in a car crash and that my leg would never completely heal
again. My dancing days were over. No one doubted the story — I had learned to limp (一瘸一拐地走)
convincingly before I returned home. And I made sure the first person to hear of my accident was a
reporter I knew well. Then I traveled to the hospital. They had pushed your grandfather outside in his
wheelchair. I took a deep breath, leaned on my stick and limped to him.”
“I showed him newspaper articles of my accident. ‘There is a whole life waiting for us out there!
But I am not going to carry you. You are going to walk yourself.’”
“I limped a few steps toward him and showed him what I’d taken out of my pocket. ‘Now show
me you are still a man.’ I said. He bent to take his stick from the ground and struggled out of that
wheelchair. He managed it on his own and walked to me and never sat in a wheelchair again in his life.”
“What did you show him?” I had to know. Grandma looked at me and smiled. “Two engagement
rings, of course. I had bought them the day after he left for the war and I was not going to waste them on
any other man.”
