The day was Thankful Thursday. It"s a weekly tradition that my two little girls and I began years ago. Thursday has become our day to go out and make a positive contribution. On this particular Thursday, we had no idea exactly what we were going to do. At noon, I drove to a McDonald’s with my daughters because they kept complaining that they hadn’t had enough to eat at breakfast. There we saw some homeless people in the street and we bought lunch for them.
We were about to complete when we found a small woman standing at the corner, asking for change. We handed her some food, and then started to head home. Suddenly from the mirror of the car, I saw the woman waving at us, so I had to turn around and stopped where the small woman stood. She walked to our car, and said, "Thank you, lady! No one has ever done anything like this for me before." I replied, "Well, I"m glad that we were the first." Feeling uneasy, and wanting to move the conversation along, I asked, "So, when do you think you"ll eat your lunch?"
She just looked at me with her huge, tired brown eyes and said, "Oh honey, I"m not going to eat this lunch." I was confused, but before I could say anything, she continued. "You see, I have a little girl of my own at home and she just loves McDonald"s, but I can never buy it for her because I just don"t have the money. But you know what…tonight she is going to have McDonald"s!"
I don"t know if the kids noticed the tears in my eyes. So many times I had questioned whether our Acts of Kindness were too small to have effect on those poor people. Yet at that moment, I realized the truth of Mother Teresa"s words: "We cannot do great things — only small things with great love."

举一反三

There was a blind girl who hated herself because she was blind. In fact, she 16  everyone, except her loving boyfriend who was 17 there for her. She used to tell her boyfriend, “If I could only see the   18  , I would marry you.”
One day, someone donated (捐赠) a pair of   19   to her. When the bandages came off, she was able to see everything,   20   her boyfriend for the first time.

The thought of looking at them for the rest of her life led her to   25  to marry him.
Her boyfriend left   26  and a few days later wrote a note to her,   27 : “Take good care of your eyes, my dear, for   28  they are yours, they were mine.”

And when you are tired and complain about your job, think of the   35 . So enjoy what you have and don’t forget your past.

James Cleveland Owens was the son of a farmer and the grandson of black slaves. His family moved to Cleveland when he was 9.There, a school teacher asked the youth his name.
"J.C., "he replied.
She thought he had said "Jesse", and he had a new name.
Owens ran his first race at age 13.After high school, he went to Ohio State University. He had to work part time so as to pay for his education. As a second year student in the Big Ten games in 1935, he set even more records than he would in the Olympic Games a year later.
A week before the Big Ten meet, Owens accidentally fell down a flight of stairs. His back hurt so much that he could not exercise all week, and he had to be helped in and out of the car that drove him to the meet. He refused to listen to the suggestions that he give up and said he would try, event by event. He did try, and the results are in the record book.
The stage was set for Owens victory at the Olympic Games in Berlin the next year, and his success would come to be regarded as not only athletic but also political. Hitler did not congratulate any of the AfricanAmerican winners.
"It was all right with me, "he said years later."I didn’t go to Berlin to shake hands with him, anyway."
Having returned from Berlin, he received no telephone calls from the president of his own country, either. In fact, he was not honored by the United States until 1976, four years before his death.
Owens Olympic victories made little difference to him. He earned his living by looking after a school playground, and accepted money to race against cars, trucks, motorcycles and dogs.
"Sure, it bothered me, "he said later." But at least it was an honest living. I had to eat."
In time, however, his gold medals changed his life."They have kept me alive over the years, "he once said. "Time has stood still for me. That golden moment dies hard."
小题1:
　Owens got his other name "Jesse" when.
A.　he went to Ohio State University
B.　his teacher made fun of him
C.　his teacher took "J. C."for "Jesse"
D.　he won gold medals in the Big Ten meet
小题2:
　In the Big Ten meet，Owens

A．hurt himself in the back	B．succeeded in setting many records
C．tried every sports event but failed	D．had to give up some events

小题3:
　We can infer from the text that Owens was treated unfairly in the US at that time because.

A．he was not of the right race

B．he was the son of a poor farmer

C．he didnˊt shake hands with Hitler

D．he didnˊt talk to the US president on the phone

小题4:
　When Owens says "They have kept me alive over the years ",he means that the medals.

A．have been changed for money to help him live on

B．have made him famous in the US

C．have encouraged him to overcome difficulties in life

D．have kept him busy with all kinds of jobs

小题5:
　What would be the best title for the text?

A．Jesse Owens, A Great American Athlete

B．Golden Moment — A Lifetime Struggle

C．Making A Living As A Sportsman

D．How To Be A Successful Athlete
