I couldn’t help staring at him, I wondered what kind of person he had been ten or twenty years before, and what he would be like if luck had gone his way. I had a hurt in my heart for this kind of human soul, all alone in the world, I told him that I was sorry, but store rules didn’t allow me to do so. I felt stupid and unkind saying this, but I valued my job.
Just then, another man, standing behind the first, spoke up. If anything, he looked more pitiable. “Charge it to me” was all he said.
What I had been feeling was pity. Pity is soft and safe and easy. Compassion, on the other hand, is caring in action. I thanked the second man but told him that was not allowed either, then I reached into my pocket and paid for the biscuits myself. I reached into my pocket because these two men had reached into my heart and taught me compassion.

试题分析：文章讲述了作者在超市收银时，遇到一位贫穷又孤独的老人，想要一份饼干，第二天来送钱。作者虽然同情他，但还是以店里有规定，拒绝了老人的要求。这时一位看起来比前一位更可怜的人主动要为老人付账，作者同样拒绝了，自己掏钱为老人结了帐。在作者看来，帮助别人说起来容易做起来难,经过努力，我们可以将爱心转化成行动帮助别人。
小题1:细节题：根据第一段中“He said he was out if cash ...he promised to repay me the next day.”可知那位老人想先吃饭后付款。故选C。
小题2:细节题：根据第二段“I wondered what kind of person he had been ten or twenty years before, and wha the would be like if luck had gone his way.I had a hurt in my heart for this kind of human soul, all alone in the world, ”我想知道他在10年前或是20年前究竟是怎么样一个人呢，想知道如果没有当时的好运气，他会是什么样呢。我为世界上这种人类灵魂孤独的人感到心疼。可知老人又穷又孤单。故选B。
小题3:细节题：根据第二段最后一句“ I felt stupid and unkind saying this, but I valued my job”我感到说这个是愚蠢而不友善的，但我珍惜我的工作。故选A。
小题4:细节题：根据最后一段“pity is soft and safe and easy.compassion is caring in action.”可知帮助别人说起来容易做起来难。故选B。
小题5:推理题：阅读最后一段可知，作者以商店的规章制度为由没有同意让第二位老人付账，最后是作者自己掏钱给那位老人结账，出乎所有人意料，常理可知，老人肯定对作者很感激。故选D。

He said, “I am going to this $20 to one of you, but first, let me do this.” He crumpled up (揉皱) the 20-dollar bill. He then asked, “Who wants it?” Still the hands were in the air.
“Well”, he replied,“ I do this ?” And he dropped it on the and started to step on it with his shoes. He picked it up. Now it was crumpled and .

Many times in our lives, we are , and trampled underfoot by the decision we and the circumstances that come our way. We feel we were worthless.

That night I wrote a short sad poem about broken dreams and mailed it to the Capri’s Weekly newspaper. To my astonishment, they published it and sent me two dollars. I was a published and paid writer. I showed it to my teacher and fellow students. They laughed. “Just plain dumb luck,” the teacher said. I tasted success. I’d sold the first thing I’d ever written. That was more than any of them had done and if it was just dumb luck, that was fine with me.
During the next two years I sold dozens of poems, letters, jokes and recipes. By the time I graduated from high school, with a C minus average, I had scrapbooks filled with my published work. I never mentioned my writing to my teachers, friends or my family again. They were dream killers and if people must choose between their friends and their dreams, they must always choose their dreams.
I had four children at the time, and the oldest was only four. While the children slept, I typed on my ancient typewriter. I wrote what I felt. It took nine months, just like a baby.
A month later Crying Wind, the title of my book, became a best seller, was translated into fifteen languages and Braille and sold worldwide. I appeared on TV talk shows. I traveled from New York to California and Canada on promotional tours. My first book also became required reading in native American schools in Canada.
People ask what college I attended, what degrees I had and what qualifications I have to be a writer. The answer is: “None.” I just write. I’m not a genius. I’m not gifted and I don’t write right. To all those who dream of writing, I’m shouting at you: “Yes, you can. Yes, you can. Don’t listen to them.” I don’t write right but I’ve beaten the odds. Writing is easy, it’s fun and anyone can do it. Of course, a little dumb luck doesn’t hurt.
小题1:Why did many students laugh after hearing what the writer said?
| A．Because they didn’t like him |
| B．Because they wished he could be successful as a writer |
| C．Because their teacher laughed, too |
| D．Because they felt it impossible for him to succeed |
| A．he had become a famous writer |
| B．he had made progress in his studies. |
| C．his classmates and teachers changed their attitudes towards him |
| D．he decided he wouldn’t become a writer |
| A．The characters in his story. | B．His teacher. |
| C．His early experience. | D．His parents. |
| A．It is difficult for a person, who cares about what others say, to succeed. |
| B．It is important for a person to tell others what he wants to do. |
| C．It is necessary for a person, who wants to succeed, to take others’ advice. |
| D．It is impossible for an ordinary person to be a writer in the future. |
| A．A famous writer |
| B．I Hate My Classmates and Teachers |
| C．I Never Write Right |
| D．A Genius Can Be a Writer |
You probably don"t know Mark, but you might be lucky enough to know someone just like him. He"s been the heart and soul of the office for a couple of years combining great professional skills with a sweet nature. He just wants to do his job, and to do it superbly well. And now he"s moving on to an exciting new professional opportunity. It sounds like it could be the chance of a lifetime, and we"re genuinely, sincerely pleased for him. But that doesn"t make it any easier to say goodbye to a dear friend and trusted colleague.
Life has a way of throwing these curve balls at us. Just when we start to get comfortable with a person, a place or a situation. A terrific neighbor moves away. Someone in the family graduates. A child finds new love and loyalties through marriage. The family"s principle bread-winner is laid off.
But how do we do that? A friend of mine who works for the government once told me that the answer to life"s problems can be summed up in four words: "Go with the flow."
"It"s like surfing," Chris explained. "You can"t organize the ocean. Waves just happen. You ride them where they take you, then you paddle back out there and catch the next one. Sure, you"re always hoping for the perfect wave where you can get. But mostly you just take them the way they come.
I"m not exactly sure, but I think Chris was saying that life is a series of events—both good and bad. There will always be life-influencing factors over which you have no control. That doesn"t mean you don"t keep trying to make all your dreams come true. It just means that when things come up that aren"t exactly in your plan, you work around them—and then you move on. Of course, some bumps along the road of life are easier to take than others. A rained-out picnic, for example, is easier to cope with than the sudden death of a loved one. But the principle is the same.
We"re going to miss Mark, just like you"ll miss that graduate, that neighbor or that newlywed. But rather than drown ourselves in the sadness of our parting, we"ll focus on our hopes for a brighter future—for him, and for us. And then we"ll go out and do everything we can to make that future happen.
小题1:The passage is mainly about ___________.
| A．how to change yourself successfully |
| B．how to do if your colleague (同事) leaves |
| C．how to deal with unhappy things in life |
| D．how to deal with unexpected things in life |
| A．let us know his colleague | B．praise his colleague |
| C．introduce a topic | D．describe his life |
| A．really unpleasant | B．very angry |
| C．both happy and sad | D．a little disappointed |
| A．A rained-out picnic. |
| B．A terrific neighbor’s apology. |
| C．The sudden death of a loved. |
| D．The graduation of a family member. |
| A．accept them and hope for a better future |
| B．do as planned |
| C．overcome difficulties and let them in control |
| D．never give up until he succeeds |
Winners are great at overcoming problems. For example, if you were late because your car broke down, maybe you need to have your car examined more regularly. Or, you might start to carry along with you the useful phone numbers, so you could call for help when in need. For another example, if your colleague causes you problems on the job for lack of responsibility or ability, find ways of dealing with his irresponsibility or inability rather than simply blame the person. Ask to work with a different person, or don’t rely on this person. You should accept that the person is not reliable and find creative ways to work successfully regardless of how your colleague fails to do his job well.
This is what being a winner is all about—creatively using your skills and talents so that you are successful no matter what happens. Winners don’t have fewer problems in their lives; they have just as many difficult situations to face as anybody else. They are just better at seeing those problems as challenges and opportunities to develop their own talents. So, stop focusing on “whose fault it is.” Once you are confident about your power over bad situations, problems are just stepping stones for success.

| A．blame themselves rather than others |
