Hardee" s, a fast-food restaurant. In the cold January air, two street children came to me with cries
for food.
As a world traveler, I was used to beggars. But seldom had I been so moved by the sincerity of the
plea (恳求) . I asked them to wait while I went inside to buy them food. Since I was traveling on a
tight budget and was even skipping meals on occasion, part of me identified with the children"s hunger.
But mostly, the children reminded me how rich I really was.
At the counter I ordered two hamburgers for the boys. Then, as the hamburgers were being cooked,
I overcame my remaining stinginess(小气)and bought them one of Hardee" s delicious, big chocolate chip
cookies.
As they took the hamburgers, they showed me with 30 seconds of nonstop blessings, praying that
Allah would bless me always. After they finished, I reached into the bag and pulled out the cookie,
extending it for them to take. Both boys fell silent, and tears welled up in their eyes as they insisted this
was too much. They refused the cookie six times. On my seventh attempt, after a long silent pause.
they held out their hands and took the cookie.
The events that night are now in the past, but there are moments when I"m transported back to that
empty square and to the honest faces of two boys. Five years later, I still ask God"s blessings for those
two Egyptian boys. While they had nothing material to give, they gave me something greater. an
awareness of my spiritual poverty and a desire for a softer heart.
B. Beggars Who Gave.
C. A world Traveler.
D. Food That Was Refused.
B. bought cookies and coffees for the two boys
C. traveled with chop cookies in his bag occasionally
D. went hungry at times in order to save money
B. They had eaten too much to have more.
C. They felt content with what they had got.
D. They intended to test the writer"s sincerity.
B. Rich but merciless.
C. Brave and thoughtful.
D. Helpful but cautious.

| I have had the privilege of meeting some very interesting people over the years. Some of these people made a great impact on my life, my views and personal philosophy. Others I met had the opposite effect because they represented attitudes, behavior and beliefs that were directly opposed to my views on life and my feelings about the value of all people. One such person I met was a woman in her late seventies. She had been an active woman, raised a family and had engaged in helping others, and developed her own crafts to sell at selected craft shows throughout the year. When I met her for the first time, I couldn"t believe that she was in her late seventies - I would have placed her age more in her early sixties. After speaking with her for a short period, it was only then that the conversation seemed to turn to age. And, it wasn"t a conversation about the frailty (脆 弱) of age, or the aches and pains, or about pleasures lost. The conversation, instead, focused on her zest for life and all the things that she was in the planning stages of doing. And, what she was planning to do wasn"t about going to a seniors group so she and her husband could go on a bus tour. What she was planning was an excursion (旅行) to Europe, unaccompanied by any tour operator or taken around the usual sights by a local guide. She really impressed me a lot because of her zest for life; for an uncompromising view of the future not in the least affected by her age; for the undying faith in knowing that there was a great deal of life yet to be discovered and experienced and yearning for each new image, discussion, smell, cultural uniqueness or experience. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
