Every fast-food employee knows that the drive-through window is the worst position. The window sticks with constant ice; the roar of engines hurts your     ; your words are lost in the howling wind.
On a        afternoon, everything changed.
Every once in a while, the sub-zero temperatures seal a        windows shut. Drivers don’t exactly enjoy having to stand outside in the cold,       their orders into a speaker box, when they expect to drive through on their heated leather seats. In such cases, most customers tend to show their annoyance to the employees.
This woman was       .
“I’ll get the next car’s        as well,” she said as she came up to the window to pay. She stood outside,        much snow on her hair. Though she was obviously freezing, her bright        lit up her face like a fire.
“You can’t        their drinks,” I said, confused and tired.
“No, but I’ll buy them,” she said. “Pay it forward and all that.”
Completely puzzled, I charged her as       , and when the next customer arrived at the window I explained what had just happened. I watched as his         changed — first angry to be out in the cold, then        at the random act of kindness, and finally, delighted by his     .
“I suppose I’ll pay for the next order then,” he replied, nodding and waving at the impatient driver       him. He        over the cash and received his pre-paid hot drink.
The trend continued. Customers arrived annoyed, only to leave        and pleased. Some were shocked to spend much more than they had expected,        others ended up receiving their order for less than half the price.
Five vehicles passed, then ten, then twenty. No one refused to pay. Customers stood at my window          a fist-full of change to buy drinks for a complete stranger. Cars drove off, honking (鳴笛) and          their thanks.
It only takes one customer, one person, to change the entire        of traffic. It only takes one moment, one smile, to warm up even the coldest of days.

It was Thanksgiving morning. I was busy preparing the traditional Thanksgiving turkey when the doorbell rang. I opened the front door and saw two small children in rags huddling together on the top step.
“Any old papers, lady?” asked one of them.
I was busy. I wanted to say “no” until I looked down at their feet. They were wearing thin little sandals （涼鞋）, wet with heavy snow.
“Come in and I’ll make you a cup of hot cocoa.”
They walked over and sat down at the table. Their wet sandals left marks upon the floor. I saved them cocoa and bread to fight against the cold outside. Then I went back to the kitchen and started cooking.
The silence in the front room struck me. I looked in. The girl held the empty cup in her hands, looking at it. The boy asked in a flat voice, “Lady, are you rich?”
“Am I rich? Pity, no!”
I looked at my worn-out slipcovers （椅套）. The girl put her cup back in its saucer （茶碟）carefully and said, “Your cups match your saucers.” They left after that, holding their papers against the wind. They had reminded me that I had so much for which to be grateful.
Plain blue china cups and saucers were only worth five pence. But they matched.
I tasted the potatoes and stirred the meat soup. Potatoes and brown meat soup, a roof over our heads, my man with a regular job, these matched, too.
I moved the chairs back from the fire and cleaned the living room. The muddy marks of little sandals were still wet upon my floor. Let them be for a while, I thought, just in case I should begin to forget how rich I am.
小題1:The writer let the two children come in and served them well because ______.
A．she wanted to sell old papers to them
B．she wanted to give them some presents
C．she showed great pity and care on them
D．she wanted to show her thanks to them
小題2:The writer left the muddy marks of little sandals on the floor for a while to _______.
A．show that she was a kind-hearted lady
B．remind her she shouldn’t forget how rich she was
C．leave room for readers to think about what being rich is
D．call up her memories of the good old days
小題3:It can be inferred from the text that whether you are rich depends on _______.
A．how much money you have made
B．what attitude you have had toward life
C．the way you help others
D．your social relationship

When I was a small boy my family was very poor. My father always used his savings to       my mother to visit her parents who lived far away.

It is his values and       and memories that have carried me forward and helped me to      my own problems in life. In my own       I have learned that it is the valuable time you spend with your children and the values you give to them that will remain with them always.

科目：高中英語 來源：不詳 題型：閱讀理解

Last Sunday I made a visit to some new neighbors down the block. No specific in mind, just an opportunity to sit at the kitchen table, have some tea and chat. As I did so, it occurred to me how rare the Sunday visit has become.
When I was a kid in New Jersey of the 1960s, Sunday visits were routine. Most stores were closed, almost nobody worked, and the highways, as a result, were not desperate steeplechases(障礙賽跑) they have become today. My family normally traveled eight city blocks to the home of my grandmother, where adults would sit on the front porch and chat while we children played hide-and-seek.
The Sunday visit was something to desire strongly. It was the repetition to church, our reward for an hour of devotion, an opportunity to take advantage of the fact that Dad was not at work, we were not in school, and there was no housework that couldn’t wait until Monday. Sunday was, indeed, different from the other days of the week, because everyone seemed to be on the same schedule, which means that there was one day when everyone seemed to have time for everybody else.
Sunday as a day of rest is, or was, so deeply rooted in the culture that it’s surprising to find that, in a short span of time, it has almost entirely lost this association. In my childhood, it was assumed that everyone would either be home or visiting someone else’s home on Sunday. But now the question is, “What do you plan to DO this Sunday?” The answer can range from going to the mall, to participating in a road race, to Montreal for lunch. If one were to respond, “I’m making a Sunday visit to family,” such an answer would feel strange, which sounds like an echo from another era.
I suppose I should be grateful to live in Maine, a state of small towns, abundant land and tight relationships. Even though folks work as hard here as they do anywhere else, the state’s powerfully rural feature still keeps at least remnants(殘余部分) of the moral of yesterday’s America, where people had to depend on one another in the face of economic vagaries(反復(fù)無常的情況) and a challenging environment.
小題1:The writer’s general impression of the Sunday in the past was a day when＿＿.
A．everyone was paying a visit to some relatives far away
B．everyone seemed to be free for others
C．Dad was not at work while Mom was busy cleaning the house
D．nearly every adult would go to church and children weren’t at school
小題2:In the fourth paragraph, the writer compares the response “I’m making a Sunday visit to family” to an echo from another era because_____.
A．people nowadays prefer staying at home on Sunday
B．such answers are rarely heard in our modern society
C．people in the city dislike being disturbed on Sunday
D．visiting someone on Sunday was routine in the past
小題3:From the last paragraph we may infer that_____.
A．people in Maine suffer more from economic depression and the changed environment
B．people in Maine have abandoned their tradition and lived an absolutely new life
C．land in Maine is short, thus the relationship between people is tense
D．people in Maine tend to help each other out of necessity
小題4:What’s the main idea of the passage?
A．Doing many activities on Sunday is beneficial.
B．We should often travel a long distance to visit some friends and relatives.
C．Nowadays, Sunday has almost lost its association as a day of rest.
D．We should abandon some old tradition.
