B   A Letter from the Past

Last summer, while cleaning out my grandmother's old house, I found a dusty box in the attic. Inside it were letters, photographs, and a small diary. The diary belonged to my great-grandfather, who had passed away before I was born. It was written in 1937, a time when China was facing great hardship.

As I read through the diary, I felt like I was talking to my great-grandfather. He wrote about his daily life, his dreams, and his worries. He talked about how he hoped his children would have a better future. He also wrote about the importance of kindness and courage during difficult times.

Reading the diary changed my view of history. History was no longer just facts in a textbook. It became personal and real. I realized that history is made up of ordinary people's lives and choices. My great-grandfather was not a famous person, but his story is part of the larger story of our country.

This experience taught me that history is everywhere. It is in our families, our communities, and our memories. We should treasure these connections to the past and pass them on to future generations.

( )6. Where did the writer find the diary?
A. In a library. B. In a museum. C. In his grandmother's attic. D. In a bookstore.

( )7. Who wrote the diary?
A. The writer's grandmother. B. The writer's father.
C. The writer's great-grandfather. D. The writer's teacher.
