| 阅读理解 | In 1969 I was a young girl working in Toronto. I was from a small town in Ontario and had just
moved to the big city about three months earlier. It was one week before Christmas and I was going
home on the last streetcar of the evening.
I remember looking at my paycheque(工资单) and asking myself how it was going to endure. At
that time in my life I hardly had enough money to exist on. Bread for supper and oatmeal for breakfast
was the only way I kept hunger at bay.
I got off the streetcar and started walking up the street, when I suddenly noticed a man was running
after me. I stopped, turned around, seeing that he was black. I snapped, "What do you want?" The man
answered in a soft voice, "I am returning your wallet. You left it on the streetcar seat."
Because of that man"s thoughtfulness, I was allowed the comfort of going home by bus for the summer
holidays. Otherwise, I would have stayed alone in my small ro om with a hog plate.
I have never been so ashamed of myself, and that poor, kind man had to walk, who knows how far,
home.
I recognized immediately that this was wrong of me and it changed my ways forever. | | 1. What can we learn from the second paragraph? | A. The writer had no job when the story happened.

| | 阅读理解 | It was Thanksgiving morning. I was busy preparing the traditional Thanksgiving turkey when the
doorbell rang. I opened the front door and saw two small children in rags huddling together on the
top step.
"Any old papers, lady?" asked one of them.
I was busy. I wanted to say "no" until I looked down at their feet. They were wearing thin little
sandals(凉鞋), wet with heavy snow.
"Come in and I"ll make you a cup of hot cocoa."
They walked over and sat down at the table. Their wet sandals left marks upon the floor. I served
them cocoa and bread to fight against the cold outside. Then I went back to the kitchen and started
cooking.
The silence in the front room struck me. I looked in. The girl held the empty cup in her hands, looking
at it. The boy asked in a flat voice, "Lady, are you rich?"
"Am I rich? Pity, no!"
I looked at my wornout slipcovers(椅套). The girl put her cup back in its saucer(茶碟)carefully
and said, "Your cups match your saucers." They left after that, holding their papers against the wind.
They had reminded me that I had so much for which to be grateful.
Plain blue china cups and saucers were only worth five pence. But they matched.
I tasted the potatoes and stirred(搅动)the meat soup. Potatoes and brown meat soup, a roof over
our heads, my man with a regular job, these matched, too.
I moved the chairs back from the fire and cleaned the living room. The muddy marks of little sandals
were still wet upon my floor. Let them be for a while, I thought, just in case I should begin to forget how
rich I am. | | 1. Which of the following would be the best title for the text? | A. Lady, are you rich?
