It was why Rowans mother, Julie Van Stone, said Joseph joined the Navy(海军) and went to MIT to get two Masters degrees(硕士学位).While at school in Boston, he would often write to Rowan. Even when he left school and was driving back to Colorado, he would send postcards from each state he stopped in. Those postcards were sent in 2007. “I remember him saying he had sent 5 or 6, but Rowan had only got 3 or 4 in the mail. But I never thought anything of it,” Van Stone said.Those postcards and pictures are priceless memories(回忆) for Van Stone and her son, especially after Joseph passed away from a rare brain disease. Rowan never had a chance to say goodbye. But, on Saturday, just days before the two-year anniversary of Josephs death, a postcard arrived in the mail. It arrived on March 11, 2015. The message read：“Hello from Pennsylvania. I love you, and I miss you so much. See you soon. Love, Daddy.”Neither he nor his mother knows how it happened, and they may never know. But, they have their own ideas why. “I feel like that was the final goodbye that he didnt get to say,” Van Stone said. Van Stone says Josephs last words to her before he died were：“Everything is a circle. We will see each other again. All that matters is love.”24What did Rowans dad do to make his son live well？AHe got many Masters Degrees.BHe became a soldier in Navy.CHe kept writing to his son.DHe said goodbye to his son.25When Rowan only received 3 or 4 of postcards, Van Stone _.Apaid little attention to thatBlet Joseph stop sending postcardsCdrove back to ColoradoDwrote to Rowan every year26How long did it take for the last postcard to reach Rowan？A2 years.

Even if you know some freshmen(新生), you still feel nervous that you dont know any upper-classmen and teachers. How are you going to make friends among this sea of unknown faces？Most high schools hold a freshmanorientationbefore school actually starts, which is helpful not only because you learn your way around the building and get to meet some of your teachers, but also because you get to meet fellow freshmen. That way, when you show up on your first day of school, you may already recognize a few familiar faces.Wh
