He was wearing a worn-out hat and was alone. I asked if I might join him.He agreed quietly and I sat down to have my breakfast.
We cautiously began a conversion and spoke about a wide rang of things. We never introduced ourselves. I was concerned that he might have no money and not be able to afford something to eat. So as I rose to go back to the counter and buy a second cup of coffee,I asked,
“My I get you something ?”
“A coffee would be nice.”
Then I bought him a cup of coffee, We talked more ,and he accepted another cup of coffee,Finally,I rose to leave,wished him well,and headed for the exit. At the door I met one of my friends. He asked,

“Who?”

I could hardly believe it. I was buying, offering a free breakfast, and feeling pity for one of the world’s richest and most powerful men!

请阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该选项的标号涂黑。
Humans are naturally drawn to other life forms and the worlds outside of our own。We take delight in the existence of creatures and even whole societies Beyond our everyday lives.
This sense of wonder is universal. Look at the efforts that scientists（幻想）literature or movies like the lord of the rings. This sense of wonder draws us to each other，to the world around us ,and to the world of make-believe.but have we gone so far in creating worlds of fantasy that we are missing the pleasure of other worlds that already exist all around us?
Human beings，as biologists have suggested，possess an inborn desire to connect with and understand other life forms，However, people，especially in big eities，often lead rather isolated lives，In a study of British schoolchildren，it was found that children by age eight were much more familiar with characters from television shows and video games than common wildlife.without modem technology，a small Pond could be an amazing world filled with strange and beautiful plants，insects，birds，and animals 。when we lack meaning（交互）with the world around us,and somethings even with our families and friends，we seek to understand and communicate with things that exist only in our imaginations or on a computer screen。
The world of make-believe is not necessarily bad,but when the world of fantasy becomes the only outlet（出路）for our sense of wonder，then we are really missing something，we are missing a connection with the living world. Other wonderful wonderful worlds exist all around us.but even more interesting is that if we look closely enough，we can see that these worlds,in a broad sense,are really part of our own.
小题1:The popularity of the lord of the rings.proves | A．the close connection between man and the fantasy world | | B．the wonderful achievements of fantasy literature | | C．the fine taste of moviegoers around the world | | D．the general existence of the sense of curiosity |
小题2:What can we infer from the underlined sentence in Paragraph 3?| A．people are far less familiar witn the world of fantasy | | B．the world around us could serve as a source of wonder | | C．the world of fantasy can be mirrored by a small and lively pond. | | D．Modern technology prevents us from developing our sense of wonder |
小题3:If our sense of wonder relies totally on the world of make-believe,we will | A．fail to appreciate the joy in our lives | | B．be confused by the world of make-believe | | C．miss the chance to recognize the fantasy world | | D．be trapped by other worlds existing all around us |
小题4:What is the main purpose of the passage?| A．To show us the hidden beauty in our world. | | B．to warn us not to get lost in the fantasy world. | | C．To argue against the misuse of the sense of wonder. | | D．To discuss the influence of the world of make-believe. |
