题型:不详难度:来源:
One day, when I went shopping with Julie, we came across something special. Waiting in a long checkout line, I thought about going to another, which had the shortest queue. There was only one guy in it, but he was in a wheelchair. Well, we stepped in behind him. At first, he seemed to be having difficulty getting his groceries onto the checking desk. But after a while, I realized that what he was actually doing was separating them into two piles.
However, doing that job was no easy task in itself. I offered to help, but he and the checkout lady had it under control. He asked my wife if she would mind putting his empty basket away. What must it be like, I wondered, to be so dependent on other people like that? The checkout operator came around and gave him his change and the items he needed to have to hand. She hung one bag of groceries over a handle at the back of his chair. I offered to get the other, bigger, bag and he said, “No. But you could do me a favour. Take that lot along to the entrance and give it to Angela.”
As I was told, I did that, leaving Julie with our shopping. Angela, as turned out, was collecting food for people who might otherwise go hungry! I hadn"t even noticed her before. This guy, despite the limitations that his physical condition imposed on him, had bought more than twice as much shopping as he needed – and given the bigger bag away to help other people! He didn"t let the fact that he needed help stop him from being a help. He may have been limited physically, but his heart was more than capable of overcoming all that. And it changed my idea of dependence when I realized that the help he had given was more than the help he had received.
So … what’s holding the rest of us back?
小题1: From the first paragraph, we know that______.
A.the writer was obviously a disabled person
B.the man in a wheelchair was a shopper
C.the writer and Julie jumped the queue

A.his shopping bags were too small to hold all the groceries
B.he hoped to keep the balance of his wheelchair
C.he intended to help the people in need
D.it would be easy for him to carry
小题3: From the passage, we can learn that Angela was probably______.
A.the disabled person’s wife
B.the girl at the checking desk
C.a hungry and homeless beggar
D.a kind-hearted and helpful woman
小题4: Which of the following can best describe the man in the wheelchair?

C.active, optimistic and open-minded
D.helpful, generous and strong-hearted

答案

All that seemed   44   and came right from their heart.Nothing seemed to   45  to them: their playtime, the heat outside—they just wanted to   46 others and do something nice in the community!
I helped them make some fresh lemonade and brought out some additional   47 to help clean cars.Passers-by were   48   and one even shouted back to them saying “God Bless You, my kids…” One of them even tried giving them 5 dollars, which they refused.A pretty heartwarming   49  !
I feel blessed by being   50  by such wonderful and loving souls.

China is a land of bicycles. At least it was back in 1992 when I traveled the country. Back then everyone seemed to be riding a bicycle. Millions of them, all black. Cars were rare. Yet since my arrival in Beijing last year, I’ve found the opposite is true. There are millions of cars. However, people still use their bicycles to get around. For many, it’s the easiest and cheapest way to travel today. Bicycles also come in different colors---sivler, green, red, blue, yellow, whatever you want.
It’s fun watching people biking. They rush quickly through crossroads, move skillfully through traffic, and ride even on sidewalks(人行道). Bicycles allow people the freedom to move about that cars just can’t provide.
Eager to be part of this aspect of Chinese culture, I decided to buy a bicycle. Great weather accompanied my great buy. I immediately jumped up on my bicycle seat and started home.
My first ride home was orderly (守秩序的). To be safe, I stayed with a “pack” of bikers while cars on the streets came running swiftly out of nowhere at times. I didn’t want to get hit. So I took the ride carefully.
Crossing the streets was the biggest problem. It was a lot like crossing a major highway back in the United States. The streets here were wide, so crossing took time, skill and a little bit of luck.
I finally made it home. The feeling on the bicycle was amazing. The air hitting my face and going through my hair was wonderful. I was sitting on top of the world as I passed by places and people. Biking made me feel alive.
小题1: According to the author, why are bicycles still popular in China today?
A.Because they are traditional and safe.
B.Because they are convenient and inexpensive.
C.Because they are colorful and available.
D.Because they are fast and environment friendly.
小题2: The author decided to buy a bicycle because he intended ______________.
A.to ride it for funB.to use it for transport
C.to experience local skillsD.to improve his riding skills
小题3: How did the author feel about his street crossing?
A.It was boring.B.It was difficult.
C.It was lively.D.It was wonderful.
小题4: Which of the following best describes the author’s biking experience?
A.The author enjoyed showing off his biking skills.
B.The author was annoyed by the air while riding.
C.The author was praised by the other bikers.
D.The author took great pleasure in biking.
