thought of blankets, food and clothing. Our aim was not to find things we no longer wanted, but things
we use every day and would be useful to others.
We made up boxes with the things and added some small toys. Inside the boxes a simple letter was
placed, reading:
"Please take these items and know that your life is important. Times are difficult but they will pass.
We share what we have, believing it will matter. Use the blanket to stay warm. Be safe and know that the
human spirit can overcome anything. Don"t hold your head down. Someday please do the same when you
can. How you do it and when, your heart will tell you.
This kind act was not because the phone rang or for any reason. It was simply because it was the right
time to do. We have often seen homeless people at the park where we left the belongings. The city would
say that it isn"t a problem but I see the lives walking to and from it.
I noticed that my wife had put her favorite green coat into one of the boxes. I asked if she was sure
about it and she simply replied that it had a hood (风帽). She liked the coat but knew the hood could shelter
(遮挡)someone from the rain.
We don"t know where these gifts of compassion (同情) will go. We never go back and see what
happens. It"s unimportant. The right things will find the right people and that is all that counts. On the way
my wife started to cry. When I asked why, she said because some things felt so right. | | 1. What can we learn from the first paragraph about the couple? | A. They had deep feelings of their work

Joan, and I were helping with the Valentine"s Day rush. We"d dipped (浸泡) hundreds of berries, arranged
gift baskets and packaged orders to be shipped around the country.
By the end of the day, the two middle-aged women, Joan and I, were exhausted. Shari didn"t seem tired.
That was typical Shari. Though she was very busy, I"d seen her give away berries to everybody -parking
attendants, mail carriers and hairdressers."For me?" they would say, bursting into a smile.
As a"thank you", Shari took us out for dinner. But there was a 45-minute wait at her favorite restaurant.
"No big deal. There"s another place just up the road," she said, driving us there. This time we walked right in.
When the waitress came to take our drink orders, Shari reached into her handbag, pulling something out.
"I want you to have these," she said, handing the waitress a box of chocolate-dipped strawberries."She will
love those berries!" I thought. But the waitress seemed startled. She only let out a "thank you" before grabbing
the box and rushing into the kitchen.
A few minutes later, the waitress returned with our iced tea."I apologize," she said. "My best friend and I
had promised to send each other something every Valentine"s Day. But she passed away last year. I didn"t
know how I"d get through this day without her. Then you handed me that box.""I"m so sorry to hear that,"
said Shari. "It"s not much, but I hope you can enjoy them." "Oh, I will," the waitress said."See, every year we
always sent each other the same thing; a box of chocolate-dipped strawberries bought from our favourite
store, The Berry Factory." | | 1. What can be inferred in the first paragraph? | A. The Berry Factory is a gift store
