题型：不详难度：来源：
This happened to me at the age of twelve. It seems like a long time to remember the name of the old lady. Yet it keeps in my 35 that she taught me a lesson in tolerance(宽容) which I shall never forget.
On a winter afternoon, a friend and I were 36 stones onto the roof of the old lady’s house. I found myself a perfectly smooth stone and threw it out. The stone was too smooth, however, so it slipped(滑) from my hands and 37 straight not for the roof but for a small window on the old lady’s back porch(门廊). At the sound of broken 38 , we knew we were in trouble and ran away.
I was too scared(胆怯) about getting caught by the old lady that first night. However, a few days later, when I was sure that I hadn’t been 39 , I started to feel guilty(有罪的) for what I had done. She 40 greeted me with a smile each day when I gave her the newspaper, but I was no longer able to act comfortably.
I made up my mind to 41 for her window with my paper delivery(发送) money I collected. I put the money in an envelope with a note explaining I was 42 for breaking her window and hoped that the seven dollars would cover the cost for repairing it.
I waited 43 it was dark, snuck(悄悄地走) up to the old lady’s house and put the letter I didn’t sign in her door. Once again, I could have the freedom of lookingstraight 44 the old lady’s kind eyes.
The next day, I handed the old lady her paper and was able to return the warm smile that I was 45 from her. She thanked me and gave me a bag of cookies.
Reaching for the cookies, I 46 an envelope and pulled it out of the bag. When I opened the envelope, I was surprised to see the seven dollars and a short note that said, “I’m proud of you!”

Difficult times often bring out the best in people. Many well-known people come to help those who are in trouble. And this was the case for basketball player Yao Ming. He hosted a television show in Shanghai and raised US $ 300,000 to help researchers (研究员) find a medical cure. Fund-raising, or charity, is an act of goodwill(好意) towards others.
Charities in the West have more ways. Look at a typical day for Ruth, a rich woman in the UK, for example. Ruth wakes up in the morning and collects her post. There’s a letter addressed to her with a picture of a half-dead, beaten(筋疲力尽的) horse. It’s from a charity asking Ruth to donate money to save the animals. She turns on the television, and sees a picture of a wide–eyed child dying of hunger in Africa with a request (请求) for money to help the child. The tickets for the charity shows often cost her a lot of money, but she doesn’t mind because most of the money is going to a charity that fights AIDS. She feels good about going because she’s helping the sick.
Edna, a little old lady, looks after a second-hand shop—a charity shop. Any profit (收益) it has made goes to a cancer(癌症) charity. Now that she doesn’t have to work, she has lots of time to offer her services for free.
For people like Yao Ming, Ruth and Edna, charity is a virtue (美德) that holds the same importance in life as faith and hope. “As you look back on your life, the moments that stand out are the moments when you have done things for others,” said Scottish writer Henry Drummond.
小题1:Yao Ming hosted a television show to _____.| A．make more money | B．raise money for his basket team | | C．make himself more famous | D．raise money for researchers to find a cure for SARS |
小题2:We can infer (推断)from the passage that _____.| A．Edna may not be a rich lady but she is willing to do something for others | | B．Ruth is angry because she has been asked to donate too much money | | C．Ruth leads a busy life and she feels very tired | | D．Yao Ming wants to be a television host |
小题3:Which of the following is TRUE?| A．Only Yao Ming, Ruth and Edna try their best to do things for charity. | | B．Ruth has given a lot of support to charity although she is not very rich. | | C．The writer hopes that more people can do things for charity. | | D．Edna is very rich because she has her own shop. |
小题4:One morning, Ruth received a letter with a picture of a horse in it because _____.| A．she lost her horse | | B．a charity wanted her to donate some money | | C．she loved horse very much | | D．she wanted to keep a horse as a pet |
小题5:The underlined(划线) part in the last paragraph probably means that _____.| A．what impresses people deeply is what they have done for others | | B．when you want to do something for others, you need stand out | | C．the moment you stand out, you can do something for others | | D．when you look back sometimes, you need stand out |
