We decided the only reasonable solution was to bridle a new house – something unusual but necessary under these circumstances．The family was overjoyed with their new house that was twenty by thirty feet with three bedrooms, a bath and a kitchen．
On Tuesday of that week, while we ate lunch together, I asked the family"s three boys, Josh, Eric and Ryan, "What do you want for your new room?" Expecting toys and other gadgets that children suavity ask for, we were astonished when Josh responded, "I just want a bed．"
The boys had never slept in a bed! They were accustomed to plastic mats．That night we had a meeting and decided that beds would be the perfect gift．On Thursday night, a few adults in our group drove to the nearest city and bought beds and new bedding．
When we saw the delivery truck coming, we told the family about the surprise．We could hardly contain ourselves. It was like watching excited children on Christmas morning．
That afternoon, as we fitted the frames of the beds together, Eric ran into the house to watch us．Too dirty to enter his room, he observed with wide-eyed enthusiasm from the doorway．
As my father slipped a pillowcase onto one of the pillows, Eric asked, "What is that?"
"A pillow," he replied．
"What do you do with it?" Eric continued to ask
"When you go to sleep, you put your head on it," I answered softly．Tears came to my eyes as my father handed Eric the pillow．
"Oh．．．that"s soft," he said, hugging it tightly．
Now, when my sister or I start to ask for something that seems urgent, my dad gently asks, "Do you have a pillow?"
We know exactly what he means．

答案
小题1:D
小题2:D
小题3:B
小题4:C
小题5:A
解析
试题分析：文章是关于我在十六岁时与父亲一起从事志愿者活动，帮助一贫困家庭建房子，买床和床上用品的故事。
小题1:D细节题。由题干中的“first”可把答案定位于第一、二段，第一段提到“"our family" was living
in a trailer”和第二段首句提到“We decided the only reasonable solution was to bridle a new house”，选项D
“处理住房问题”这两句的同义转述，故为正确答案。
小题2:D细节题。由题干中的“Josh’s answer”可把答案定位于第三、四段，D项“这男孩子们没有床睡觉”是第三段最后一句话“we were astonished when Josh responded, "I just want a bed．"和第四段第一句话“The boys had never slept in a bed!”的同义转述，故为正确答案。
小题3:B 语义理解题。由题干中的“We could hardly contain ourselves”，定位答案于第五段，由此段最后一句话“It was like watching excited children on Christmas morning”可知“孩子们因为高兴而兴奋”，故答案为B。
小题4:C细节题。由题干中的“Eric”锁定答案于第六到第九段，第七段提到“As my father slipped a pillowcase onto one of the pillows, Eric asked, ‘What is that?’”，由此可知“Eric以前没见过枕头”，故答案为C。
小题5:A语义理解题。从全文可以看出“pillow”对我和爸爸帮助的一家孩子来说是必要的物品。当作者想买东西，爸爸总会问“Do you have a pillow?”,由此可知爸爸的意思指“已有‘枕头’类的必要东西，其他不必要的东西就不必买”，故答案为A。

举一反三
I remember 39 waiting for the result. When Mr. Bales 40 my paper on my desk, I was 41 . There in big 42 numbers, circled to draw attention, was my grade — 41! I 43 my paper so that others couldn’t see it. A 41 was not 44 that you wanted your classmates to see. Finally, Mr. Bales stood behind the desk and 45 the class. “The grades were not very good; 46 of you passed,” he announced. “ The highest grade in the class was a 41, so all of you failed.”
A 41. That was me. Suddenly my dismal(阴沉的) face didn’t look quite so bad. I had the highest grade. I felt a lot 47 . As soon as I got home, my mother asked me, “How did you do on your test?” “I made a 41,” I said. My mother’s 48 changed suddenly. “You failed.” “But I had the highest grade in the class!” I replied. “ I don’t 49 what everyone else had. You failed. It doesn’t matter if everyone else failed too; what matters is what you do,” my mother 50 answered.
For years, I thought that was a harsh judgment. My mother was always that 51 . It didn’t matter what the other kids did; it only mattered what I did and 52 I did it excellently.
We often don’t understand the wisdom of good parents until we ourselves stand 53 the parenting shoes. My mother’s philosophy（人生态度）has 54 me throughout life. The path of the crowd is wide but the path to pass the tests of life is 55 and there are very few people on it.

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?

Mother was right, 18 I discovered after 19 from college in 1932. I had decided to try for a job in radio, then work my way 20 sports announcer. I hitchhiked（搭便车） to Chicago and knocked on the door of 21 station—and got 22 every time. In one 23 , a kind lady told me that big stations couldn’t 24 hiring inexperienced persons. “Go out in the sticks and find a small station that’ll give you a 25 .” she said.
I thumbed home to Dixon, Illinois. While there was no radio-announcing jobs in Dixon, my father said Montgomery Ward had opened a store and wanted a local 26 to manage its sports department. Since Dixon was where I had played high school football, I 27 . The job sounded just right for me. 28 I wasn’t hired.
My disappointment must have shown. “Everything happens for the best,” Mom 29 me. Dad 30 me the car to job-hunt. I tried WOC Radio in Davenport, Iowa. The program director, a wonderful Scotsman named Peter MacArthur, told me they had 31 hired an announcer.
As I left his office, my 32 boiled over. I asked aloud, “How can a fellow get to be a sport announcer if he can’t get a job in a radio station?” I was waiting for the elevator 33 I heard MacArthur calling, “What was that you said about sports? Do you know anything about football?” Then he stood next to me before a microphone and asked me to broadcast an 34 game.
On my way home, as I have many times since, I thought of my mother’s words: “if you carry on, one day something good will happen. Something wouldn’t have happened if not for that previous disappointment”. I often 35 what direction my life might have taken if I’d gotten the job at Montgomery Ward.

37 she asked me, “What if we 38 this a smile car wash?” I couldn’t hold back my tears and 39 her and the other kids to go outside the house and come up with 40 ideas．While I kept myself busy in drying the car, the gang walked up to me with a（n） 41 with beautiful images of smiles．They had “Free Car Wash” written on it and the 42 of their exercise was “smile”．It was pretty neat to see a team of kids ranging 5-11 years with the 43 to do something for others．
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．

But her future hasn"t always looked so bright. While her mother, Bekelech, sacrificed immensely for Genzeb, she would not have been able to continue sending her to school. When her husband died, Bekelech was the sole provider for their five children. In order for them to survive, she began the daily routine of walking approximately 8-10 miles a day collecting sticks to sell near her 8" x 10" home in Kichene. It wouldn"t have been long before Genzeb would have been, forced to quit school in order to help her mom. But Bright Future changed all that.
Genzeb has been at Bright Future for 3 years. Since Ethiopian schools let out early, Genzeb walks to the facility right after lunch. Because of her high ability, she even helps teach the younger children there, building confidence and locking in important foundational academic skills. There"s also other meaningful opportunities Genzeb experiences which allow her eyes to be opened to the different opportunities that are available to her if she completes her studies. Field trips are one of her most favorite activities of all. She especially loved the one to Addis Ababa University.
She knows it goes beyond fun trips, though. "I am happy because I get extra help for school from Bright Future," Genzeb shares. At so many levels, her involvement with Bright Future allows her to receive a better education, which she values. For one day she wants to help people in need by becoming a doctor. And now she knows, that with a lot of hard work, that dream might just become a reality.
