Tom lived in a town and worked in a shop. His father died when he was young and his mother supported(支持)him. She always tried her best to save everything and hoped to have enough money to send her son to school. Sometimes she was hungry but she always gave the boy enough food. Now the young man was twenty-eight years old. He wasn’t married(結婚), because he hoped to take good care of his mother himself.
The young man worked hard in the shop. He was very busy. So he decided to employ(雇用)a housekeeper to look after his mother. One of his friends brought a girl, Kate, to him. The girl was very strong and came from a village and could do all the housework.
One day the old woman fell to the ground and hurt her leg. Mr. Shute had just come home. He went to lift her to the bed with Kate quickly. Then he told Kate to call the bus station to send a taxi to them. He waited for a long time and no taxi came. He couldn’t find Kate and didn’t know what had happened. When he was going out to ring up the station himself, the girl hurried back.
“What did you do just now?” Tom said angrily.
“I went to the station, sir.” answered the girl. “I didn’t know the telephone number. So I had to go to ask them for it and then ring them up.”
“How did you go there?” asked Tom
“By taxi, sir.” answered the girl.

Answer the questions (根據(jù)短文內容回答下列問題)
Each and every year, during Chongyang Festival, citizens of China celebrate the elders in their families and communities. It’s a special tradition which is rooted in the deep value that Chinese culture places on honouring their elders.
Sadly, many of our aging population are seniors without sons, daughters or grandchildren to visit. While they may have great friends, they no doubt miss the tender and loving relationships unique to families. To fill this void(空虛), many volunteers turned up on October 28 at nursing homes around the country in order to spend time with the residents. In some cases, they performed humble(謙遜的) gestures of kindness, such as combing their hair or washing their feet.
While the kind acts were appreciated, one embarrassing story out of Anhui province raised a valuable question. Reportedly, one old gentleman had his feet washed seven times during the day by different volunteers. Is this genuinely(真誠地) caring for the elderly? Many of the residents at the home said that those gestures do not make them feel cared for at all. Their family members or community volunteers may drop by for a few hours of token time, but soon they disappear back into their busy lives.
There is nothing we can give that is more valuable or appreciated than our time. While you may feel like there is barely enough time to care for your many responsibilities, might it be possible to spare just a moment as you walk home from school to sit with a senior who lives in your community? Just five minutes is not going to prevent you from getting your homework done, but it may totally change a day of loneliness into a day of joy for one old man or woman. Do you live far from your grandparents? Why not pick up the phone and let them know you’re thinking of them? Or maybe you could remind them of the “good old days” and mail them a short letter. Imagine their surprise and joy!
We live in a complicated(復雜的) and busy world, but kindness and caring is still a very simple thing.
1.People in China celebrate the elders at Chongyang Festival, don’t they?
2.Who appeared at nursing homes to spend time with the residents?
3.How many times did one old gentleman have his feet washed during the day?
4.Which gestures can make elders feel cared for ?
5.What did the family members of the residents at the home do?
6.Have you been to any nursing homes before? What did you do for the residents there?
If you haven’t, please tell us what you did for the elders around you in the past.

Is there someone you hate? Well, maybe you don’t really hate them. But you get really angry every time you think of them. If you don’t let this anger go, it can turn into bitterness(痛苦)
Bitterness appears when we can’t forgive(原諒) someone who has hurt us or made us angry. Someone might say or do something that hurts us. But Instead of controlling the anger, we keep it deep inside. Before long, a bitter feeling begins to grow. We may think we’re hurting that person by criticizing him or her often, but we’re really only hurting ourselves.
Bitterness can not only lead to serious health problems such as heart disease, but also hurt our relationships with friends and family members. No one enjoys being around an anger person for very long.
If you see bitterness in your life, here are some ways to deal with it.
Accept it
Instead of trying to deny your anger, make it clear to yourself and accept it. See your anger for what it is and quickly deal with it.
Stop making excuses for it
You may feel you have a right to be anger. You may think you’re right and the other person is wrong. You may even secretly enjoy making the other person look bad. But in the end, bitterness hurts you much more than the other person. The bitterness will hold you back, and the other person will go on with his or her life.
Forgive and forget it
You probably can’t completely put the anger out of your mind. But you can decide to forgive the other person. Forget it and move on. You’ll enjoy better health and peace of mind.
1.According to the passage, we might get angry when someone ______.
A.holds us back B.forgets us

B.hate the person who hurts us very often
C.accept that you are hurting the other person

5.What can we learn from the passage?
