Question

阅读理解  阅读下列短文 根据短文内容选择最佳答案。

It happened two years ago. It was Mother’s Day morning. I was doing my shopping at our local supermarket with my five-year-old son Tenyson. As we were leaving we found that only minutes earlier an elderly woman had fallen over at the entrance and had hit her head on the ground. Her husband was with her but there was blood everywhere and the woman was embarrassed(尴尬的) and clearly in shock. Walking towards the scene Tenyson became very sad about what had happened to the couple. He said to me “Mum it’s not much fun falling over in front of everyone.”

At the front of the supermarket a charity group had set up a stand selling fish and chips and flowers to raise funds. Tenyson suggested that we should buy the lady a flower. “It will make her feel better ” he said. I was amazed that he’d come up with such a sweet idea. So we went over to the flower seller and asked her if we could buy a flower for the lady to cheer her up. “Just take it ” she replied. “I can’t take your money for such a wonderful gesture(姿势).”

By now paramedics（救援人员）had arrived and were attending the injured(受伤的) woman. As we walked up to her my son became intimidated by all the blood and medical equipment(器具). He said he was just too scared to go up to her.

Instead I gave the flower to the woman’s husband and told him “My son was very sad for your wife and wanted to give her this flower to make her feel better.”

At that the old man started crying and said “Thank you so much you have a wonderful son. Happy Mother’s Day to you.”

The man then bent down and gave his wife the flower telling her who it was from. Though badly hurt and shaken the old lady looked up at Tenyson with love in her eyes and gave him a little smile.
