阅读理解 A few years ago, I returned from a family vacation in Mexico, where I'd bought myself a beautiful blue candle. I was so excited to light it. But when I got home and unpacked it, I thought, "Today is not the day. I'm going to save it for the right occasion." So I put it in my closet and forgot about it. Two years passed, I remembered my candle and I thought, "Today is the day. I'm going to light it." So I went to the closet and opened up the box—and my beautiful blue candle had turned into wax. Now what struck me is my candle did exactly what it's designed to do—melt—but it did it without me. That candle which melted triggered (触发) something in me. It old the story to my friend Gillian. The next time I was over at her house, she took me on a tour and she showed me that all of her candles had been lit. She told me, "I had waited a year to light those candles. You told me the story, and I lit them all the next day. " I believe, however, that those small actions send a big message and show you're no longer letting life slip— or melt—by. Here's my advice for you: Whatever object you answered "yes" to earlier, please use it with in the next week. Pull out your china for a random Tuesday night, open the Scotch, and cut the tags off a jacket. And don't let your candle melt in the closet. （1） What made the author fail to use her new candle immediately？ A . She was too busy to use it. B . She didn't need it at that time. C .

It was sent to her friend. D . It was redesigned into another shape. （3） Why did Gillian light all her candles？ A . She wanted to make her house brighter. B . She couldn't wait to light them any longer. C . She was inspired by what the author had told her. D . There was no extra space to contain the candles. （4） What does the underlined sentence in the last paragraph mean？ A . Live in the moment. B . Always seize the opportunity. C . Don't worry about your possessions. D . Never buy candles if you don't need them. 答案： D B C A
