My daughter used a new app to clear up and improve some of my old photos. There were pictures of Mom, Dad, Nana,
my brothers, me and my first dog Duke. Looking at them brought back so many loving, happy memories. I even used one as my computer screen saver (屏保).
It is a picture of me sitting in my favorite chair, across from the wood stove (炉子), next to a bookcase full of old books.
I am wearing my special Snoopy sweatshirt and hugging Duke. There is a big smile on my face and a joyful twinkle (闪烁)
in my eyes. It was how I spent a lot of my winter afternoons as a boy, hugging Duke and reading an old book.
It is strange too how 50 years later that boy still lives inside of me. I still love comfortable chairs, warm stoves, Snoopy clothes, hugging dogs and reading books on cold winter days. Yet, when I look in the mirror now, all I see is a thin face, gray hair, and lots of wrinkles (皱纹). The only thing that hasn’t completely changed is the eyes. They are hiding behind glasses now. Instead of innocence (天真), there is wisdom (智慧). But they still have that same joyful twinkle.
Looking at the little boy smiling at me from the computer screen and that 56-year-old man looking back at me in the mirror can be a bit confusing (困惑的) at times. They seem so different. Still, they are both me. We can’t stop aging, but we can remain both joyful and young at heart forever.
54. What did the writer’s daughter do with the old photos?
A．She threw them away. B．She improved them with a new app.

B．He looks less joyful than before.
C．There aren’t twinkles in his eyes anymore.
D．There is no longer innocence but wisdom.

“Yes, sir!” answered Ben Weatherstaff.
“I’m going to do a scientific experiment (科学实验),” he said. “When I grow up, I’m going to make scientific discoveries about magic and I’m going to start with this experiment. Do you understand?”
“Yes, sir!” said Ben Weatherstaff, but he didn’t really understand.
“I believe that there is magic in everything.” continued Colin. “Dickon knows some magic. He chams animals and people. Mary also knows a bit of magic because she was born in India. There’s magic in the garden, too. I’m going to try and put some in me because I want to be well and strong. I’m going to say—Magic is in me! And you must all say it, too. That is my experiment.

“Yes, sir!” answered Ben Weatherstaff.
They sat down in a circle. The crow, the fox, the squirrels and the lamb were very curious.
“Now, let’s begin,” Colin said, and they all started chanting (吟唱).
“Magic is in me. Magic is in me. Magic is in all of us.”
Then Colin stood up and walked round the garden. He went in front with Dickon on one side and Mary on the other. Ben Weatherstaff walked behind.
Colin walked a bit then rested. Then he walked again and rested again. At first, he held Dickon’s arm, then he walked a few steps alone.
“I can walk! The magic worked!” he cried.
“What is the doctor going to say?” asked Mary.
“Nothing.” Colin answered, “because we aren’t going to tell him. No one must know that I can walk and run. It’s a surprise for my father when he comes back to Misselthwaite.”
“He’s going to think it’s a dream,” said Mary.

①You may think you cannot live through summer without air conditioners. But in ancient China, hand fans were almost the only help for people to drive the heat away.
②Chinese people started to use hand fans over 2,000 years ago. The fans came in different shapes, such as round and square. They were also made from all kinds of materials. Palm leaf (棕榈叶) fans were cheap and easy to make. Feather fans showed the owner’s high status (地位). Sandalwood (檀香) fans could send out sweet smell.
③Later, hand fans became far more than just something that could cool you down. They developed into artworks, in which Tuanshan (round fans) and Zheshan (folded fans) were the most common.
④In the shape of a full moon, Tuanshan was usually made of silk. They had beautiful birds and flowers on them. Women, especially those in the imperial palace (皇宫), liked to use them. Poets in ancient China often compared a woman’s abandoned fate (被抛弃的命运) to tuanshan. Nalan Xingde wrote during the Qing Dynasty, “if only life were as beautiful as when we first met, why should the autumn wind bother to pity deserted painted fans?”
