On February 9th, 2013, Sarah Darling was walking along the street when she met a homeless man named Billy Ray Harris. She reached into her change purse, emptied out all the coins she had and gave them to the homeless man. Neither of them realized that this small generous act would change their lives.

Sarah didn’t realize that she had given Billy not only all her change but also her diamond ring that she had put in her change purse earlier until the following morning. She and her husband, Bill Krejci, rushed to see if they could find Billy. The homeless man was not only in the same place, he also immediately returned the ring. The grateful couple paid him back for his honesty by emptying out their pockets of all the money they had.

Bill Krejci, a web designer, felt that he needed to do something more for this amazingly honest man. So on February 18th, he set up a special page to raise money for him. In just four days, Billy received over $85,000 and there seems to be no end yet.

That is not enough. Billy is living with a person who is generous instead of living in the streets. And that’s not all—Thanks to the news report, he got together again with his older brother, Edwin Harris who he had been unable to find for 27 years.

All the good luck is just because Billy did the right thing—returning something that did not belong to him.

1.When did Sarah realize that she had also given Billy her diamond ring?

A. On February 9th, 2013             B. On February 10th, 2013

C. On February 18th, 2013            D. On February 22nd 2013 

2.Which of the following is NOT mentioned in the passage?

B.      Billy has found his brother.

D.     Billy appeared in the news report

3.The underlined word “That” in Paragraph 4 refers to(指代) “________”.

A. returning the ring                  B. setting up a page

C. living in the streets                D. receiving money

4.What’s the best title of the passage ?

A.      Generous Woman Changed Her Own Life

I live on the twelfth floor of a building. One afternoon I was coming home from a friend’s house. It was just after four o’clock. I got quickly into the lift and pressed Button (按鈕) 12.

The lift started to go up, but very slowly. And then, half way up, it suddenly stopped between two floors. I couldn’t understand it. I pressed all the buttons from 1 to 14. I called for help very loudly. But nobody answered.

Then suddenly the light went out, and I was alone in the dark. I started to cry and beat the walls of the lift. I cried and cried until I had no voice left. Then, I felt hopeless, and pressed all the buttons with my open hands. And all at the same time, there was a bell far away. It rang and rang. It was the fire alarm(火災(zāi)警報(bào)). I thought the whole building was on fire. I said to God quietly, “Just get me out of here. I’ll never be bad again.”

Just then, I realized the lift was moving very slowly. On the ground floor it stopped, and the doors opened. A man was standing there. “How long have you been in there? It is good that you pressed the alarm bell. But haven’t you learned to read at your school?” He pointed at a small piece of paper on the wall beside the lift. It said:

Attention: This lift will be stopped for repairs between 4pm and 5 pm on Thursday March 13.”
