問題詳情：

Every year on my birthday since I was 11，a white gardenia （梔子花） was sent to my house．No card ever came with it．Calls to the flower shop were not helpful at all．After some time I stopped trying to find out the sender's name and was just pleased with the beautiful flower，in soft pink paper．

I couldn't stop imagining who the giver might be．Some of my happiest moments were spent daydreaming（幻想 ）about the sender．My mother encouraged these daydreams．She'd ask me if I had been especially kind to someone．Perhaps it was one of my classmates Perhaps it was the old man who I once helped．As a girl，I had more fun imagining that it might be a boy that I had met．

A month before my high school graduation（畢業），my father died．I was so sad that I became completely uninterested in my coming graduation dance，and I didn't care whether I had a new dress or not．My mother，in her own sadness，would not let me miss （過） any of those things．She wanted her children to feel loved．In fact，my mother wanted her children to see themselves much like the gardenia：lovely，strong and perfect．

【解析】

 本文主要描述了母親對作者的愛，通過事例闡述了母親如何愛孩子的。

242．根據文章第一句Every year on my birthday since I was 11，a white gardenia （梔子花） was sent to my house.可知，作者自從十一歲以來生日上會收到一束梔子花。 故選A。

243．根據第二段前兩句I couldn't stop imagining who the giver might be．Some of my happiest moments were spent daydreaming（幻想 ）about the sender可知，作者在想是誰送的花時非常高興。故選A。

244．根據第三段My mother，in her own sadness，would not let me miss （過） any of those things．She wanted her children to feel loved...的描述可推知，作者的媽媽可能會讓作者參加畢業聚會，她想讓她的孩子感受到愛，希望孩子像梔子花一樣：可愛、堅強、完美。故選B。

245．根據短文最後一段My mother died ten years after I was married．That was the year the gardenia stopped coming可知，作者的媽媽去世後，就沒再收到梔子花，説明生日收到的梔子花是其媽媽送的。故選D。
