• 2．Every year on my birthday，from the time I turned 12，a white gardenia （栀子花） was delivered to my house.No card came with it.Calls to the flower-shop were not helpful at all.After a while I stopped trying to discover the sender's name and just delighted in the beautiful white flower in soft pink paper.
     But I never stopped imagining who the giver might be.Some of my happiest moments were spent daydreaming about the sender.My mother contributed to these imaginings.She'd ask me if there was someone for whom I had done special kindness.Perhaps it was the old man across the street whose mail I'd delivered during the winter.As a girl of seventeen，though，I had more fun imagining that it might be a boy whom I had met.
     One month before my graduation，my father died of a heart attack.I felt so sad that I became completely uninterested in my upcoming graduation party.
     The day before my father died，my mother and I had gone shopping for a party dress.We'd found an impressive one，but it was the wrong size.When my father died，I forgot about my dress.
     But my mother didn't.The day before the party I found that dress-in the right size-over the living room sofa.I didn't care whether I had a new dress or not.But my mother wanted me to have one.She wanted her children to feel loved and lovable.In truth，my mother wanted her children to see themselves much like the gardenia-lovely，strong and perfect with perhaps a bit of mystery （神秘）.My mother died ten days after I was married.I was 22.That was the year the gardenia stopped coming.
  
  （1）Why did the writer stopped trying to know who the sender was？

  
  A．In no way could she find the sender.
  B．The shop didn't answer the phone.
