16．（第三、四層次學(xué)校的學(xué)生做此題）
It was dark，and light snow was coming down．He found an old lady needed help．Even with the smile on his face，she was worried．No one had stopped to help．Was he going to hurt her？He didn't look safe，but poor and hungry．He could see that she was frightened，standing out there in the cold．He knew how she felt．He said，"I'm here to help you，Ma'am．Why don't you wait in the car where it's warm？By the way，my name is Joe．"Well，all she had was a flat tire，but for an old lady，that was bad enough．Joe crawled under the car．Soon he was able to change the tire．
As he finished his work，she asked him how much she owed him．Any amount would have been all right with her．Joe never thought about the money．Ever since the factory closed，he'd been unemployed，though he never quit looking．This was helping someone in need．He told her that if she really wanted to pay him back，the next time she saw someone who needed help，she could give that person the help that they needed，and Joe added"…and think of me"．He waited until she started her car and drove off．It had been a cold and sad day，but he felt good．
A few miles down the road the lady saw a small café．She wanted to have a hot coffee before she went home．The restaurant looked dark and dirty．A waitress came over and brought a clean towel to wipe her wet hair．She had a sweet smile．The lady noticed that the waitress was nearly eight months pregnant（懷孕的），but she never let the pressure and pains change her attitude．The old lady wondered how someone who had so little could be so kind to a stranger．Then she remembered Joe．After the lady finished her meal，and the waitress went to get her change from a hundred-dollar bill，the lady went away．She was gone by the time the waitress came back．She wondered where the lady could be，and noticed something written on a napkin．It said，"You don't owe me a thing．Someone once helped me out，the way I'm helping you．If you really want to pay me back，here's what you do．Don't let the chain of love end with you．"
That night when she got home from work and climbed into bed，she was thinking about the money and what the lady had written．How could she have known how much she and her husband needed it？With the baby born next month，it was going to be hard．She knew how worried her husband was，and as he lay sleeping next to her，she gave him a soft kiss and whispered soft and low，"Everything's going to be all right； I love you，Joe．"

分析 本文講述了一名叫Joe的年輕人幫助了一位老婦人，雖然他事業(yè)且貧困，但他不計回報而是請求將幫助他人的愛心傳遞下去．后來，這位老人幫助了咖啡店一位孕婦，將愛的接力棒傳遞下去．可是，巧合的是，被幫助的人竟然是Joe的妻子．
解答 68：B 細(xì)節(jié)理解題，文章第一段提到了Joe和被幫助的老人，而第三段提到了一位懷孕8個月的女士，因此推斷文章一共提到了3個人物角色，因此選B．
69：D 根據(jù)前文提到：Well，all she had was a flat tire，but for an old lady，that was bad enough．該老人的車胎壞了，車動不了．Joe幫忙換了車胎，理論聯(lián)系實際，此時他應(yīng)該有趴在地上處理輪胎的動作．再結(jié)合選項，D選項符合實際，故選D．
70：B 細(xì)節(jié)理解題．從第一段Joe在自己都身處困難時期但無償幫助老婦人的動作，可以得知他是一個很熱心善良的人．后文他還說希望愛心行為得到接力，更能說明這一點，故選B．
71：A 推論題，第五段提到老人到咖啡店去，看到懷孕的女孩兒時，她是滿臉的微笑，沒有感覺生活的不如意：She had a sweet smile．The lady noticed that the waitress was nearly eight months pregnant（懷孕的），but she never let the pressure and pains change her attitude可得知她對生活是充滿希望的，故選A．
72：C 文章主旨大意概括題，Joe的一個善良的行為感染了老人，而老人又將這份愛心傳遞給了一個女孩，由最后得知，該女孩正式Joe的妻子．說明Joe的愛心行為得到了傳遞，結(jié)合選項，C正確．
點評 本文是人物故事類閱讀理解．做這類題材閱讀理解時要求考生對文章通讀一遍，做題時結(jié)合原文和題目有針對性的找出相關(guān)語句進(jìn)行仔細(xì)分析，結(jié)合選項選出正確答案．推理判斷題也是要在抓住關(guān)鍵句子的基礎(chǔ)上合理的分析才能得出正確答案，切忌胡亂猜測，一定要做到有理有據(jù)．
