I moved from Chicago to Brooklyn in July of 2010，just in time to watch my mother die. Our parents were both gone now； I took with me as many things they had left behind as I could.
I was out walking one Saturday later that summer when something caught my eye - a pale green dress. Laid out on the pavement was stuff like earrings, glass candle-holders, books. Hanging on the fence behind were a few pairs of jeans and a green cotton dress.
The woman, the host o£ the stoop (门廊）sale, looked like she was getting rid of a past she didn’t need or want. A dress that was too big for her. A chest of drawers that took up too much space, space she needed, maybe, to heal ，recover, or grow.
I wasn’t planning on buying anything really, but now I needed to show her that I appreciated her things and I would give them a safe home. Then I had my first stoop sale —I paid her 20 dollars for her green cotton dress and her blue candle-holder,
From that day on, I became interested in stoop sales. Some of my favorite things are from someone else’s life. I find no joy in shopping at regular stores any more. I love trying to sniff out a memory from a bud vase or a drawer. It is comforting to know that someone has breathed and laughed inside a sweater before me.
A few weeks ago, I carried my mother’s dresses to a friend’s stoop. These were her best items ，which were once worn by the most important person in my life. For many hours, I watched from across the path people advancing the stoop, some leaving with Mom1S dress. I used to think that her stuff was as forever sacred (神圣的）as my memory of her, I know now that once I love a scarf or shirt too dearly，it needs to find a new home. Even that green dress is long gone by now.

(答案→)A 解析：本文讲述了在母亲去世后，作者开始爱上了逛旧货市场。她喜欢在旧物品中探寻它们主人曾经的故事。出售母亲的就物品时，希望这些物品以前见证过的欢笑或是感动就能得以延续，这是另类对母亲的怀念。【小题1】细节题：根据最后一段中“ These were her best items ，which were once worn by the most important person in my life.”这些衣服是她最好的东西，曾经是我生命中最重要的人穿的。故选A。【小题2】推理题：根据第五段中“Some of my favorite things are from someone else’s life”我最喜欢的东西中的一些来自别人的生活中，由此可知别人用过的东西是有故事的，会引人想象的。故选B。【小题3】推理题：阅读最后一段内容可知作者曾经认为还念母亲最好的方法就是保存好母亲的物品，现在她认为给母亲的遗物找到新家会更有意义。故选D。【小题4】推理题：阅读全文可知作者喜欢在旧物市场购物，喜欢想象物品背后主人的故事。出售母亲的就物品时，希望这些物品以前见证过的欢笑或是感动就能得以延续，这是另类对母亲的还念。故选B。
