2016年高考英语复习专题练习及答案:冠词

Dear Mrs. Doyle，

If you are not the Cecile Doyle who taught English at Emerson School in Kearny, N.J., then I'm embarrassed, and you can disregard the letter.

My name is John Cruitt, and I was in your third­grade class during the 1958—1959 school year. Two days before Christmas, my mother passed away, and you told me that you were there if I needed you. I hope life has been as kind to you as you were to me.

God bless you.

John Cruitt

Doyle says his letter, which arrived in February, could not have come at a better time. Her husband, who passed away this August, was struggling with Parkinson's disease.

“And I had just come home from the hospital, and I read this beautiful letter, and I just was over­whelmed，” she says.

“Well the funny thing is, when I finally wrote to you again after 54 years, I typed the letter—I was afraid my penmanship wasn't going to meet your standards，” Cruitt says as Doyle laughs.

“John, what can I say—I' m just glad that we made a difference in each other's life.”
