I volunteer with Meals on Wheels every Friday. A week ago, I had the pleasure of helping one of my customers (顧客). She is over eighty years old and is very weak and I always bring her lunch on Fridays. She looked worried when she opened the door that day. She told me her phone was broken and that she couldn’t receive the calls from her doctor. She went to her neighbors, but they weren't at home. She thought the postman might help her, but he didn't come. She was disappointed(失望的).

Hearing her story, I decided to do something for her. I tried to exceed the needs of the old woman who only needed a helping hand. I called the phone company (公司) at once and made sure they knew that getting this phone fixed was needed right away. I wrote down her phone number and her name just to make sure I could call her later to make sure that the phone had been all right.

I called the phone company twice that day. They told me they had checked the phone line and made the phone work well. The old woman was so thankful that she was in tears, hugging me for my help. After that, I called her every day to make sure she was all right.

Just being able to help her in her time of danger filled my heart with such love and happiness. It doesn’t take much time or effort to help someone like a neighbor. Sometimes, what people need is just a smile, a hug or a phone call.

【解析】

本文主要講述了作者在餐廳做志愿者，一周前幫助了一位80多歲的老婦人，她很感動，作者很開心。

【1】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第一段中“She told me her phone was broken and that she couldn’t receive the calls from her doctor.”可知，這位婦女的電話壞掉了。故選C。

【2】詞義猜測題。根據(jù)下文中“who only needed a helping hand”和“I called the phone company (公司) at once and made sure they knew that getting this phone fixed was needed right away. I wrote down her phone number and her name just to make sure I could call her later to make sure that the phone had been all right.”可知，作者不僅給電話公司打電話而且寫下了這位老婦人的名字和電話號碼，以便給她打電話確定她的電話沒有問題，而這位老婦人電話壞了，她只是想找人幫忙，而作者所做的這一切遠(yuǎn)遠(yuǎn)超出了這位老婦人的需求，所以此處exceed的意思是超出。故選B。

【3】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第三段中“After that, I called her every day to make sure she was all right.”可知，作者給這位老婦人每天打電話，是因為作者想確定這位老婦人一切都好。故選A。

【4】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第一段中“She is over eighty years old and is very weak and I always bring her lunch on Fridays.”可知，作者總是在周五給這位老婦人帶午餐，所以這位老婦人總是在周五訂午餐。故選C。

【5】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)最后一段中“It doesn’t take much time or effort to help someone like a neighbor. Sometimes, what people need is just a smile, a hug or a phone call.”可知，作者認(rèn)為幫助像鄰居這樣的人，不需要花費(fèi)太多時間和精力。有時候，人們需要的只是一個微笑，一個擁抱或者一個電話，此處作者想告訴我們應(yīng)該善待那些有需要的人們。故選C。
