英文短篇故事（纽约）452 A Free Magazine Subscription

（单词翻译）

 　　She got a computer magazine in the mail. She hadn't ordered it. In fact, she'd never even heard of it. The expiration¹ date was on the address label². It was 12 months away. She read the whole magazine within the next few days. A while later, her uncle called. He asked, "Did you get the magazine?" She said, "Yes, I did. So you're the person who ordered it. I really like it. Thank you." He said, "You're welcome. I know you're taking computer courses in college. So I thought this might interest you. It's the least I could do for my favorite niece." She thanked him again. The year went by. Her subscription³ ended. She waited for another month, just in case her uncle was going to renew⁴ her subscription. He didn't. She renewed⁵ it herself. It was only $12 a year. Twelve dollars, she thought, for his "favorite" niece.
