The third rich man, on seeing such poverty,        and went straight through the poverty-stricken village without stopping．The two other rich men saw all this from a distance and commented heatedly with each other on how the third rich man lacked sympathy．It was         that they themselves had been there to offer help．

English was always my favorite subject. In my freshman year of high school, I could write a killer composition. In my second year, my teacher        me to give spelling tests to the class. I had a      time of my junior year. Mrs Alexander        me to sit at her desk and take over the class when she had to leave the room. Only my senior English class was       , as we had a teacher right out of college who expected       work. Every student received a "C" or "D" grade the first quarter. But English was still my favorite subject.
I graduated from high school,      early and had children.       about my English, I often helped my kids with their English homework. And I wrote long articles and beautiful poetry as a columnist for a newspaper. Fifteen years later, I went to college, and because I had been an "A" student, I remained an "A" student. I       up to my own expectations.
Yesterday, I        my high school report cards when I was reading old papers. That bundle of report cards        back the old days. I remembered sitting in my advisor's office, explaining that I had always be       at  English, and recommending that I did not deserve a '"D" from that inexperienced teacher of my senior year. The  advisor was        but unable to change a （an）       . Reading through my old report cards revealed something  else too. I wanted to       them or hide them. I was not an "A" student in high school English! Somehow, I had         myself of this, when the grades clearly reflected an average student with an        "A" or "B" but mostly "C” S.
Had I lived up to those grades and       myself according to those letters, I would have never confidently sought my writing career. Had I       my early grades instead of myself, I would have allowed my fear of failure to       enthusiasm and damage my creativity. Instead, I       my younger self as an "A" English student, except for that undeserved "D".

A man, who sometimes takes my bus, is in rags. His life seems different from that of the others. He looks exhausted and carries nothing. He appears along a downtown street, seemingly out of nowhere. We sometimes want to know where he sleeps at night.
A few weeks ago he boarded the bus. A few stops later, a young woman boarded. She swiped (刷) her bus-card, only to find the machine would not accept it. The driver told her to pay the $2.25 fare. “I just bought this card,” she said. “I paid the money...”
The driver said she could take the card back to the sales office and explain the problem. In the meantime she would have to pay the fare for that day. The woman became confused and distressed. The rest of us just watched, wondering how the problem would be solved. Suddenly the man rose from his seat, dropped a few coins into the fare box.
“You’re lucky,” the bus driver said quietly. “He paid for you.” Silence fell over the bus. The rest of us had watched the woman’s discomfort, but he felt it. We lawyers, journalists and business people headed downtown to help fix the world. He fixed her world.
I haven’t seen him since that day. Some people believe angels occasionally drop down and move among us. All I know is that I have a new respect for the simple act of kindness. It speeds us along on our way.

Jayne Fisher watched anxiously as her 17-year-old daughter Katie pulled her lamb（羊羔） into the Madison County Junior Livestock for sale.
Katie was battling cancer. This was her first chance in months to be outdoors having fun, away from hospitals and treatments, and she had come with high hopes for earning some money for her treatment. She had wavered a little on her decision to part with the lamb, but with lamb averaging two dollars a pound, Katie was looking forward to it. So the bidding（出價(jià)began.
That’s when Roger Wilson, the auctioneer(拍賣師), had a sudden inspiration that brought some unexpected results. “We sort of let everybody here know that Katie had a situation that wasn’t too pleasant,” is how he tells it. He hoped that his introduction would push the bidding up, at least a little bit.
Well, the lamb sold for $11.50 a pound, but things didn’t stop there. The buyer paid up, then decided to give the lamb back so that it could be sold again.
That started a chain reaction, with families buying the animal and giving it back, over and over again. When local businesses started buying and returning, the earnings really began to pile up. The first sale is the only one Katie’s mom remembers. After that, she was crying too hard as the crowd kept shouting, “Resell! Resell! ”
Katie’s lamb was sold 36 times that day, and the last buyer gave it back for good. Katie ended up with more than $16,000 to pay her medical expenses——and she still got to keep her famous lamb.
小題1:Katie sold her lamb in order to_______.
A．earn an amount of money to cover her medical expenses
B．help her mother support their family and keep more lambs
C．show her lamb was a famous one and raise some money
D．get some unexpected results from a chain reaction
小題2:Why did families buy Katie’s lamb and return it repeatedly?
A．They had fun in reselling it.
B．The auctioneer ordered them to do so.
C．They wanted to help Katie from the heart
D．Katie’s mother cried for help.
小題3:The word “waver” in the second paragraph probably means _______.
A．a(chǎn)greeB．hesitateC．refuseD．focus
小題4:What is the best title of the passage?
A．Battling cancerB．A warm-hearted auctioneer
C．Bidding from the heartD．A wise lamb

Would you jump off the Great Wall of China for 300 pounds a day?
A stunt (特技表演)person is a man or woman who does all the dangerous bits of acting work in films or on TV. This can be anything from a simple fall into a swimming pool, or walking off the top of a tall building. It sounds like a job that you would have to be made to try, but there are actually lots of people who want to do it.
Sarah France, twenty-four, is one of Britain’s sixteen professional stunt women ---there are one hundred and sixty stunt men in the country. We asked Sarah how she came to be a stunt woman.
“When I was young I was trained to be a dancer, and for seven years after school I was hardly out of work. A dancer’s life is pretty short, though, and my father suggested I should think about doing stunt work after I’d given up dancing. I thought about it for the next two years and decided to have a go. For six months, I worked really hard every day. I had to learn different skills---swimming, jumping, horse -riding, etc.”
Sarah finished the course in just five months and applied to the office which decides whether you’re accepted as a professional stunt person or not. Two weeks after she was accepted, Sarah was throwing off the Great Wall of China in Superman IV.
“I was very lucky to get work so quickly. I had a small part, playing a traveler who fell off the Wall after an earthquake. The traveler’s life was saved by Superman, of course! Actually, I fell forty-five feet into a pile of cardboard boxes! You can’t use anything softer than that or you will be brought back into view of the cinema. Instead you just have to learn to fall properly. It’s quite dangerous but I enjoy it.”
小題1:Quite a number of people want to do dangerous acts in films because___________.
A．they are madB．they don’t think them dangerous
C．no training is neededD．they can earn much money
小題2:Sarah gave up dancing because___________.
A．her father persuaded her to do stunt work
B．she could not go on dancing forever
C．she had to work hard every day
D．she was often out of work
小題3:Soon after Sarah got her new job as a stunt person, ______________.
A．a(chǎn)n earthquake took place near the Great Wall
B．she fell off the Great Wall and hurt herself
C．she was asked to act in Superman IV
D．she learned how to fall properly
小題4:Which of the following words best describes Sarah?
A．HealthyB．AdventurousC．SkillfulD．Successful
小題5:The purpose of the first sentence of the passage is to ____________.
A．draw the readers’ attention to the whole passage
B．invite you to try jumping off the Great Wall for money
C．a(chǎn)sk you to be a stunt person
D．raise a question for the readers to think about

My husband Jeff and I moved into our new home in Scottsbluff last year just before Christmas. I did not have the        or energy to carry out my traditional Christmas decorating and baking activities. What was the point, anyway? It was going to be a        Christmas after all.
     , the neighborly nature of west Nebraska residents started to trickle (陸續(xù)來臨) in.
There was a        on the door one evening. It was Jeff’s new colleague, John Smith, and his wife, Phyllis. The Smiths had stopped by to        us to town with a loaf of homemade bread. They pointed out a       on the porch (門廊). Apparently the doorbell wasn’t working in the cold snowy weather and we had        a visit from the Browns, our across-the-street neighbors, who brought us a Christmas card and more Christmas cookies.
The        feelings brought by these thoughtful gestures lasted longer than the food.
As Jeff and I were clearing pre-Christmas        from our driveway, Ernie Guzman came over from next door to        us to dig out.
Then, we received an invitation to        a Christmas Eve meal with our neighbors, Ernie and Nancy Sommer, and their       —a 90-year-old lady, who also had no family in the immediate area with whom to spend the holiday.
Our Christmas Eve was quite merry, thanks to our       . Our Christmas morning        was special, thanks to the Smiths’ gift of bread. I was so       for these gestures of welcome, especially during the holidays.
This year, we were again unable to be with our families for Christmas. The        and work schedules just made things too difficult.        that sense of Christmas isolation (孤立) all too well, we decided to try to round up some other folks who were        in the holidays.
Lonely people are all around us, but most of us        notice them. Just take a look around you. Sometimes, the smallest        gesture can make a world of difference.

The day of my holiday arrived, but I wasn’t looking forward to it. I had little money and had only been able to afford to stay with my Aunt Rosa in Spain. So, I wasn’t really excited as I knew exactly what it was going to be like: lots of noisy cousins , and Aunt Rosa begging me to take her for a ride.
After I had checked in, I made my way slowly to the departure gate. As I was waiting to board the plane, I kept thinking about my ideal holiday destination: Jamaica, with its long, sandy beaches and crystal clear water.
As soon as the plane took off, I fell fast asleep and only woke to the sound of the announcement: “Ladies and gentlemen, please fasten you seat belts, as we will shortly be landing in Kingston.” I froze in my seat. Was I dreaming? Kingston? Jamaica? I had boarded the wrong plane!
Immediately after the plane landed, I explained the situation to the authorities. It seems there were also three other passengers heading for Spain. Apparently it had been the airline’s fault, since the flight numbers for Spain and Jamaica were exactly the same! Therefore, with no flight back to London for a week, the airline had no choice but to pay for our stay.
So there I was, lying on the beach, enjoying the music and the marvelous food of Jamaica! As for Aunt Rosa, I suppose she just had to live without me!
小題1:Why did the writer choose to spend her holiday with her aunt in Spain?
A．She missed her cousins very much.
B．Her aunt begged her to go there.
C．She could hardly afford any better trip.
D．Spain was her ideal destination.
小題2:In the story, the writer ended up _________.
A．flying to London immediatelyB．heading for Spain from Jamaica
C．complaining to the authoritiesD．enjoying a free beach holiday
小題3:Which of the following might be the best title of the passage?
A．A Lucky MistakeB．A Terrible Adventure
C．A Nice DreamD．A Well-Planned Trip
