I"d been travelling for long hours on a lonely country road when I had a flat tire. So I had to stop and get the tools to       the problem. It certainly wasn’t       doing this with a white shirt and suit on.
Nightfall was approaching. Suddenly a car pulled       from behind me. A man got out and offered to         me. Seeing his unpleasant appearance and tattoos(纹身)on his arm, I became        as thoughts of robberies flashed through my mind. But       I could say anything he had already begun to take the tools to change the       . While watching him I happened to look back at his car and noticed someone sitting in the passenger seat. This had        me. 
Then, without       , it began to rain. He suggested that I wait in his car because my car was unsafe. As the rain increased, getting us wet within seconds, I        agreed. When I settle into the back seat, a woman’s voice came from the front seat. “Are you all right?” She turned around to me. “Yes, I am.’’ I replied with much        when seeing an old woman there. It must be his Mom, I thought. To my      , the old woman was a neighbor of the man who was helping me. “Jeff insisted on stopping when he saw you      with the tire. ”“I am grateful for his help, ” I said. “Me, too!” she said with a smile. He helped drive her to see her husband twice a week in a nursing home. She also said that he       at the church and tutored disadvantaged students. 
The rain stopped and Jeff and I changed the tire. I tried to offer him money and of course he     it. It was shameful that I judged people by the way they       . As we shook hands I began to apologize for my     . He said, ‘‘I experience that same        often. People who look like me don’t do nice things. I        thought about changing the way. But then I saw this as a chance to make a       . So I’ll leave you with the same question I ask everyone who takes time to know me. If Jesus returned tomorrow and walked among us again, would you recognize Him by what He wore or by what He did?’’

Many a young person tells me he wants to be a writer. I always encourage such people,but I also explain that there"s a big difference between “being a writer” and writing.In most cases these people are dreaming of wealth and fame, not the long hours alone at a typewriter. “You"ve got to want to write, ”I say to them, “not want to be a writer”.
The reality is that writing is a lonely, private and poor-paying affair. For every writer kissed by fortune there are thousands more whose longing is never rewarded. When I left a 20-year career in the U.S. Coat Guard to become a freelance writer, I had no hope at all.What I did have was a friend who found me a room in a New York apartment building.It didn"t even matter that it was cold and had no bathroom.I immediately bought a used typewriter and felt like a real writer.
After a year or so.However, I still hadn"t gotten a break and began to doubt myself.It was so hard to sell a story that I hardly made enough to eat.But I knew I wanted to write,l had dreamed about it for years.I wasn"t going to be one of those people who die wondering, what if? I would keep putting my dream to the test—even though it meant living with uncertainty and fear of failure.This is the shadow land of hope,and anyone with a dream must learn to live there.

Looking out of the window, my son saw a tree whose branches were strongly swaying back and forth. “How does the tree move its branches like that?” He asked.
Without rising from my chair, nor looking up from my book, I started to answer, “The tree is not moving the branches, son. The wind is…” But before the words were out, I caught myself. Instead I rose from my chair and moved to the window to join my son. I looked at the tree. From inside our room, from behind the window, I could neither feel nor hear the wind. I saw instead a tree with its branches silently moving and thought to myself, from inside this room, how could I possibly be sure that the branches were moving because of the wind rather than from the tree’s own willing?
As I stood there with my son watching the tree, I became struck by the movement of the branches, the shimmer of the leaves. My mind quieted and I became less sure myself of what was causing the branches to move. Was it the wind, or was it some expressive, independent movement of the tree? “I see what you mean,” I said to my son. “The movement of the tree is very beautiful.”
“Do you think the tree is dancing?” asked my son. “Why would it be dancing?” I asked. “Maybe it is happy because the sun is shining,” he said. “Perhaps,” I said. “Or because it’s spring,” he added, “and it’s not cold any more.” “Perhaps,” I said.
As we continued to watch the tree together, I, too, began to appreciate the dance of the tree. I enjoyed the movement and sway of the branches, seeing little nuances(微妙之处) that I hadn’t noticed before. There seemed to be a rhythm to the movement, first strong and forceful, then light and gentle, then more vigorous, sometimes nearly violent.
“Are trees alive?” my son asked. “Yes, they are alive. Why do you ask?” “Because this tree looks happy,” he answered. “Can a tree be happy or sad?” “What do you mean?” I asked.
“In the winter, trees seem sad,” he said. “Their branches hang down, and they look cold and lonely. But now with the leaves on the tree and the sun shining and the birds flying, it looks happy.”
小题1:What is the meaning of the underlined word “caught” in Para 2?
A.stoppedB.graspedC.seizedD.held
小题2:What on earth caused the tree to move?
A.The tree itself felt happy and was dancing.
B.The tree was too sad to sway as if to get rid of all trouble.
C.It was the warm spring.
D.The wind did so.
小题3: What do you think of the boy?
A.Naughty.B.Imaginative. C.Clever.D.Foolish.
