英语试题 阅读理解 After my dad died on Aug.30, 2001, my mother made sure we marked each anniversary. At first, my brothers and sister and I would travel hours to get home, but eventually we got to the point where just one or two of us would make it back to go to Mass with her and spend the day together. The great love of her life, the man who broke up with her right before her college graduation, only to return two years later claiming hed traveled the world and hadnt found anyone to compare with her, remained a daily presence in her life.She spoke about him so often and kept his memory so alive that people were sometimes surprised to learn that he was gone. She took over the garden where hed planted and made it on her own. When the 10th anniversary of his death approached，my mom began talking about it and planning for it weeks in advance. The date on her kitchen calendar was circled and marked R．I.P. (Rest in Peace). Of course she wanted all of us there and settled the date for our coming back. On Monday—the day before the anniversary—she went to Mass and walked downtown for lunch with friends, and later told my sister on the phone that she felt Dad still so close that as she was walking back home, she heard someone yell and thought, “Oh, theres Dick.” That evening she went out to water flowers, just as my father, 10 years before, had gone out to the garden to pick vegetables before he died. A neighbor heard the tin watering can strike the ground as she fell and hit her head. My mother died within hours, on Aug. 30, 2011, the 10th anniversary. She needed to mark that anniversary, she_wanted_us_all_home and my dad had waited long enough. 【语篇解读】 十年间，作者的母亲时刻在缅怀亡夫，仿佛他依然活在人世。就在他去世的第十个周年纪念日那天，作者的母亲也突然离开了这个世界。 36．The author and her brothers and sister would________each year during the first few years since 2001.
