It was raining as my sister Jill and I ran out of the Methodist Church, eager to get home and play with
the 1 that Santa had left for us and our baby sister, Sharon. Across the street from the church was a
Pan American gas station where the Greyhound bus stopped. It was 2 for Christmas, but I noticed a family
standing outside the locked door to keep dry. I 3 why they were there but then forgot about them as I had
to keep up with Jill.
When we got home, there was 4 time to enjoy our presents. We had to go off to our grandparents"
house for our annual Christmas dinner. 5 we drove down the highway through town, I noticed that the
family was still there, standing outside the closed gas station.
My father was driving very 6 down the highway. The closer we got to the turn-off for my
grandparents" house, the slower the car went. Suddenly, my father U-turned in the middle of the road and
drove back.
When my father 7 the service station, I saw that there were five of them: The parents and three
children-two girls and a small boy.
My father rolled down his window and asked the man, "Are you waiting for 8 ?" "Yes." He answered.
"Well, you"re getting wet standing here. The stop is just a few miles up the road." My father said." Why
don"t you all 9 the car and I"ll run you up there."
The man thought about it for a moment, and then he beckoned to his family. They climbed into the car.
They had 10 with them, only the clothes they were wearing.
Once they settled in, my father looked back over his shoulder and asked the children if Santa had found
them yet. Three 11 faces gave him his answer.
"Well, I didn"t think so," my father said, looking at my mother, "Because when I saw Santa this morning,
he told me that he was having trouble finding all, and he asked me 12 he could leave your toys at my house.
We"ll just go and get them before I take you to the bus stop."
All at once, the three children"s faces lit up, and they began to bounce around in the back seat, laughing
and chattering.
When we got out of the car at our house, the three children ran 13 the front door and straight to the
toys that were under our Christmas tree. One of the girls kept her eyes on Jill"s doll and immediately hugged
it to her breast. I remember that the little boy 14 for Sharon"s ball. And the other girl picked up something
of mine. All this happened a long time ago, but the 15 of it remains clear. That was the Christmas when my
sisters and I learned the joy of making others happy. |

| 阅读理解。 | This sad story happened on a cold winter evening. It was so cold and snow was falling so heavily that
the roads were covered with ice and a strong wind was blowing. Being outside in such weather was very
unwise. However, Peter Lee had to walk home from work. Peter walked with difficulty along a country road,
the cold wind beating against his chest. He thought, "If I wear my coat backwards, maybe, it will be a little bit
warmer for me." He stopped walking, took off his coat, and put it on backwards. "That"s much better," he
said to himself happily. Walking on through the thickly falling snow, he was thinking about drinking a cup of
warm coffee by the burning fireplace.
A few minutes later, a car knocked down Peter. The driver hadn"t seen him soon enough. When he tried
his best to put on the brakes (刹车), the car skidded (打滑) on the icy road. The frightened driver got out of
the car and ran to see how the poor man was.
After a while, a police car arrived. A policeman went up to see Mr Lee who was lying on the ground. He
told the driver, "I"m afraid he"s dead."
The driver was so surprised. "This can"t be the case, because I hardly touched him. Check my car carefully. There"s not a mark on it."
The policeman said, "I"m sure he"s dead."
"It"s impossible," the driver said anxiously." As soon as I hit him, I ran to help him. He was lying on the
road, but he was breathing and there was no blood."

daughter. She was 18. As a joke, she wrote to the sailor. They began to exchange letters. After a few months,
they got married.

He put the picture in a bottle and dropped the bottle into a river.
The bottle was not found until one day a man named Bill picked it up on a beach in Florida many years
later. He pulled the picture out of the bottle and looked at it. He could hardly believe his eyes. To his surprise,

people put money into the hat in front of him.
The next day, the young man came to the gate again, and put his hat on the ground. But different from
what he always did in the past days, he took out a large piece of paper with some words in it and laid it on
the ground. It said, "Last night, a gentleman named George Sang put an important thing into my hat by mistake.
Please come soon, Mr. Sang."
After about an hour, a middle-aged man ran to the young man in a hurry and said, "It"s you! You do come
here. I know that you"re an honest man and will certainly come here." The young man asked, "Are you Mr.
George Sang? Did you lose anything?" "A lottery (奖券) ticket," answered the middle-aged man. The young
man took out a lottery ticket and gave it to the man.
The prize of the lottery ticket was ＄500,000. Yesterday when the middle-aged man knew he won, he
was very happy. He took out 50 dollars and put it in the hat. However, the lottery ticket was also thrown in.
Later, someone asked the young man, "You play the violin in the railway station every day to make money.
Why didn"t you just take the prize of the lottery ticket for yourself?" The young man said, "Although I don"t
have much money, I live happily. But if I lose honesty, I won"t be happy forever." | | 1. The middle-aged man put _____ into the poor man"s hat. | A. $50
