What else could I do? Then, with no reason, I suddenly 2 the pale face of that little beggar(乞丐) girl. I could see the glad light 3 her eyes when I put the dime in her little dirty hand.
How much I 4 that dime, too! Grandpa gave it to me a whole month ago, and I had kept it ever since in my red box upstairs, but those sugar apples looked so attractive, and were so 5 — only a dime a piece — that I wanted to have one.
I could imagine the little girl stood there in front of the 6 in her old dirty dress, looking at the 7 that were put all in a row in the window. I wonder what I should say, “Little girl, what do you want?” I gently asked. She felt 8 and looked straight at me, just as if（似乎）nobody had spoken so 9 to her before. She realized what I had meant, so she said seriously and sadly. “I was thinking how good one of those delicious hamburgers would 10 . I haven’t had anything to eat today.”
Now I thought to myself, “Mary Williams, you have had a good breakfast and a good lunch today, 11 this poor girl has not had a mouthful yet. You can give her your 12 . She needs it a great deal more than you do.”
I could not run away from that little girl’s sad, 13 look — so I dropped the dime right into her hand. How 14 the girl was! I am so glad I gave her the dime, 15 I had to go without the apple lying there in the window.

举一反三
James Cleveland Owens was the son of a farmer and the grandson of black slaves(奴隶). His family moved to Cleveland when he was 9. There, a school teacher asked the youth his name.
“J.C.,” he replied.
She thought he had said “Jesse”, and he had a new name.
Owens ran his first race at the age of 13. After high school, he went to Ohio State University. He had to work part time in order to pay for his education. As a second year student, in the Big Ten games in 1935, he set even more records than he would in the Olympic Games a year later.
A week before the Big Ten games, Owens fell down when he went downstairs. His back hurt so much that he could not exercise all week, and he was helped in and out of the car that drove him to the games. He refused to listen to the suggestions that he should give up and said he would try, event by event. He did try, and the results are in the record book.
The stage was set for Owens’ success at the Olympic Games in Berlin(柏林) the next year, and his success would come to be considered as not only athletic but also political(政治的). Hitler(希特勒) did not give congratulations to any of the black American winners.
“It was all right with me,” he said years later. “I didn’t go to Berlin to shake hands with him, anyway.”
After returning from Berlin, he received no telephone calls from the president of his own country, either. In fact, he was not honored by the United States until 1976, four years before his death.
Owens’ Olympic success made little difference to him. He earned his living by looking after a school playground, and racing against cars and dogs.
“Sure, it worried me,” he said later. “But at least it was an honest living. I had to eat.”
In the end, however, his gold medals changed his life. “They have kept me alive over the years,” he once said. “Time has stood still for me. That golden moment dies hard.”
小题1:In the Big Ten games, Owens .| A．hurt himself in the back | | B．was successful in setting many records | | C．tried every sports event but all failed | | D．had to give up all events |
小题2:We can infer from the text that Owens was treated unfairly in the US at that time because .| A．he was the grandsonof black slaves | | B．he was the son of a poor farmer | | C．he didn’t shake hands with Hitler | | D．he didn’t talk to the US president on the phone |
小题3:When Owens says “They have kept me alive over the years”, he means that the medals .| A．have been changed for money to help him live on | | B．have made him famous in the US | | C．have encouraged him to face difficulties in life | | D．have kept him busy with all kinds of jobs |
小题4:What can be the best title for the text?| A．Jesse Owens — A Great American Sportsman | B．The Big Ten Games | | C．Making a Living As a Sportsman | D．How to Be a Successful |

I’m Alfred. I was born with a problem in my backbone and mobility(行走能力）was a big challenge, but thanks to my teachers and friends, my school life was excellent.
My friends and I used to sit together and have lots of fun. Whenever we got a free period, we used to start shouting or play games. I would take part in all competitions, such as poetry writing, story writing and painting and all activities like Teachers’ Day or anybody’s birthday and had much fun.
My English teacher was very tall. The moment she would enter the class, we would all sit quiet and open the books. She would encourage me by giving me important assignments and also morning news to read during the assembly. She would come down and hear my English debate(辩论), which made me participate in all debate competitions.
The same was true of my biology and science teacher. She was very nice and sweet. She would always give me extra information on the biology project. I could not go to the lab for the practicals (lessons or exams in science, cooking etc. in which you have to do or make something yourself rather than write or read about it), so she would bring the lab down and help me with the biology and science practicals and would give me excellent marks.
My friends made me monitor and the naughty boys listen to me. My friends used to help me with my notes if I was absent. My teachers always gave me important project work and I felt proud when they patted me on the back after I finished it quickly and correctly.
I was never shouted at or made fun of or scolded(批评) by any of my friends and teachers. Today I saw the terrible punishments given to students on television news. I felt very sad.
I really want to express my love and thanks to all my wonderful teachers and friends, without whom my school life would not have been so excellent and unforgettable. I really pray to God that each child in the world is blessed with caring teachers and wants to attend school every day.
小题1:Alfred’s problem in his backbone _________ .| A．made him have fewer friends than others | | B．prevented him enjoying an excellent school life | | C．left him feeling down all the time in his life | | D．made it impossible for him to move freely |
小题2:How many Alfred’s teachers are mentioned in the passage?| A．One. | B．Two. | C．Three. | D．Four. |
小题3:Alfred tried to do the following EXCEPT _________.| A．play games during a free period with his friends | | B．take part in all competitions and all activities | | C．go to the school lab to do the practicals | | D．complete his project work quickly and correctly |
小题4:The underlined part “patted me on the back” is closest in meaning to “_________”.| A．scolded and hit me | B．encouraged and praised me | | C．touched my backbone | D．made me calm down |
