阅读下面短文,根据所给情节进行续写,使之构成一个完整的故事。
It was somewhere between spring and summer，my mom and I were driving through the countryside. Back then，I was 13 years old，and always felt unhappy with mom.But little did I know that this trip was going to be a special one.A pot of flowers sat in the back seat，whose heavenly scent filled the car.
Suddenly，in the middle of nowhere，my mom pulled over.”What are you doing?”I cried，fearing that the car had broken down and we’d be stuck there，so far from home.But that wasn’t the case.My mom hopped out of the car，grabbing the flowers from the back seat.”It’ll just be a minute，”she called back through the open windows.My eyes impatiently skimmed the edge of the road before settling on a little sign showing that it was a nursing home.I looked back to the building，somewhat annoyed，as my mom reappeared-empty-handed.
Before she started the car，curiosity drove me to ask，”Do you know someone there?”She shook her head.”Then what did you do with the flowers?”She smiled slightly，”I gave them to the receptionist.” “What?”She laughed at my confusion.”I told the receptionist to give the flowers to whoever needed them，especially who hasn’t gotten any in a while.”
I kept silent for a moment.Not long after we continued our driving，I spoke again，”Did you leave your name?”To this she answered instantly，”No.Leaving flowers there for someone who will appreciate them makes me feel good，which is enough of a thank for me.”
Suddenly，still thinking about Mom’s deeds，I heard something burst loudly.It was our car that broke down! Nothing could be worse，because neither my mom nor I understood how to repair it，and we didn’t know where the garage was.It also seemed impossible to wait for any passer-by，since we had seen so few along the way.

根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
People from Britain and Ireland first came to live in Australia in 1788. 1. These different kinds of English began to mix and change. The newcomers soon began to speak with their own typical accent(口音) and vocabulary. More and more people came to Australia during the Gold Rush in the 19th and 20th centuries. Some came from Britain and Ireland；others came from non-English speaking countries. Australian English continued to grow and change.
2.During the Second World War, there were many American soldiers staying in Australia. More importantly, American television shows and music have been popular in Australia since the 1950s.
Australians use many words that other English speakers do not use. The famous Australian greeting, for example, is G’day! A native forest is called the bush and central Australia is called the outback. 3.For example, “mate” means “friend”,and it is still used in Britain. Some of these words have changed in meaning. Some words have come from Australian original languages, many of which are names for animals, plants and places, like dingo and kangaroo.
4. In words like organise and realise, -ise is the expected and taught spelling method. In words like colour, favourite, -our is the normal, but nouns such as the Labor Party and Victor Harbor are spelled with -or. Program, on the other hand, is more common than programme.
5. For example, football means “rugby” in New South Wales and Queensland, but “Australian rules football” everywhere else in Australia. In New South Wales, a swimming costume is called a cossie or swimmers, while in Queensland it is called togs and bathers in Victoria.
A.Australian spelling comes from British spelling.
B.They brought different dialects of English with them.
C.Australian English has also been influenced by American English.
D.Many words were brought to Australia from Britain and Ireland.
E.There are also differences in the definition of words Australians use in different parts of the country.
F.Australian English is full of words that a British English speaker would not recognize.
G.Many words which sound different in other accents sound the same in Australia English.
The Commonwealth games have meant that the eyes of the world have been focused on our fair city-Melbourne. And it would look pretty good, wouldn't it? And what better way to regain our title as world's most livable city? I'm told that we recently lost the right to say this to foreign friends proudly when the international list was re-examined and we slipped to the fourth place.
It's hard to see how Melbourne could have lost its crown (桂冠) when you look at what it has to offer. 24 hours Coles, free transport for drunks on New Year's Eve, a new freeway, it's all here.
The first focus for the international press will obviously be the endless stadiums dotted around the city. But as well as being full every other weekend, these great places often play host to slightly older kids. At Rod Laver, even the olds get a look-in as the Christian evangelical (教会的) road show rolls into town once a year for a night of stadium worship (崇拜).
Another pleasure Melbourne enjoys is that it's very easy to get around. There's a bit of a squeeze during rush hour for sure, but nothing like Bangkok, where the journey home can take longer than growing a beard and parking is barely distinguishable from the drive itself. Driving here is a piece of cake. It must be because the wise people who hand out the taxis seem to actively encourage a career behind the wheel within 24 hours of landing in the country as an educational tool for getting to know the city. No slowing down for learning bends, just go, go, go!
As for the social life, with over 40 million bars in Melbourne's CBD alone, we have plenty of places for spectators to celebrate national victory, making this town as good as any and it happens 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
Unfortunately, the athletes themselves don't get to smell the roses to the same degree. But the rest of the world will know that this is the place to be. The most livable city in the world. By far the easiest place on earth to cheat death, which is essentially what we're talking about.
