问题补充：
I bought a jasmine plant for my office. When I bought it, I was told it would bloom（开花） and the sweet smell would fill my office. I had the plant for two months, and every day I looked at it, but there weren any flowers or pleasant smell. I was not happy, so I gave the plant to my friend Linda.
One day, another friend Mary called and invited me to her office. When I walked in, her jasmine flowers surprised me. I reached out to touch the flowers. Mary cut some and gave them to me. I couldn help smelling them. Surrounded by the sweet smell of only a handful of these flowers, I suddenly understood something.
Mary bought her plant the same time I did. It took a year for her jasmine to bloom. I was so impatient for mine to bloom; regretfully, I gave it away.
In a way my life is like the jasmine plant. I need to be patient and let things happen.
Last Sunday Linda told me that she was going abroad the next week. Before she left, she returned the plant to me. This time I am going to wait. I have learned that when we want something in our life, we have to be patient. I am slowly learning to have that patience to wait for my jasmine to bloom.

解析：短文大意：这篇短文中主要记述了作者买了一盆茉莉花，在养护了两个月后不见开花，就送给了朋友琳达。后来在朋友玛丽的家里看到了盛开的茉莉花，才知道茉莉花需要照顾很长时间才能开花。由此让作者懂得了耐心在生活中的重要性。
【小题1】根据第一段I had the plant for two months, and every day I looked at it, but there weren any flowers or pleasant smell. I was not happy, so I gave the plant to my friend Linda.描述，可知我养了这棵花两个月，故选D，两个月。
【小题2】根据第二段When I walked in, her jasmine flowers surprised me. 描述，可知选D。
【小题3】根据In a way my life is like the jasmine plant. I need to be patient and let things happen.描述，可知作者由此懂得了生活中也需要耐心，故选A。
