举一反三
On the way back from work every evening, more often than not there would be a homeless man standing at the exit of the freeway (快车道). He looked to be in his late 40s but was probably a lot younger. He had shoulder length straight black hair and a short beard.
Every day after work I would remember to gather any spare change, and put it aside to give to him if I saw him. A feeling of joy would come over me every time I saw him, while coming off the ramp (坡道). So did he. Sometimes the red light would be on for a minute and we would ask each other about our day. His answer would always be the same, “I’m blessed!”
Then one day I was called into my boss’s office and was told that I was being laid off. For the rest of that day all I could think of was “how am I going to provide for my kids as a mother, how am I going to pay rent?”
Needless to say that on my way home that day I was very sad and upset. I didn’t remember to look for my spare change and keep it ready like I usually did. Yet there he was as always, as I turned the ramp. He set his eyes on me, while still smiling and waving at others as usual.
While I was waiting for the red light to turn, he strolled (闲逛) over to my car. He had a big smile. He looked at me straight in the eyes and said, “Today I will give you a dollar.” He then reached into his pocket and pulled out a dollar bill.
You see that day he taught me a valuable lesson more than a dollar bill. No matter what material things are taken from you, no one can take away your choice to be joyful. Every time I’m faced with challenges, I think of the homeless man’s valuable lesson and remember that I am blessed.
小题1: The writer would have a short conversation with the homeless man when .| A．she waited for the red light to turn | | B．she gave spare change to him | | C．she had a good time that day | | D．she wanted to know how he lived |
小题2: Why did the writer feel sad and upset after out of the boss’s office?| A．Because she was criticized by the boss. | | B．Because a new job was offered to her. | | C．Because she was laid off by the boss. | | D．Because there was something wrong with her job. |
小题3: What is NOT true about the homeless man from the passage?| A．He would be seen at the exit of the freeway. | | B．He usually smiled and waved at others. | | C．He had a deep impression on the writer. | | D．He felt joyful only when money was offered to him. |
小题4:The homeless man gave the writer a dollar because .| A．he had collected a lot of money | | B．he wanted to pay back her | | C．he knew what she experienced | | D．he wanted her to be happy |
小题5: The writer learned from the story that .| A．a dollar bill will be enough to make you happy | | B．each of us has been blessed all the time | | C．whenever it is, we should choose to help others | | D．it is more than money that brings us happiness |

To Max
Today we had to let you go,
It broke our hearts in two,
We had to leave you at that place,
Alone and feeling blue,
The only thing that we could do,
Was to drive back home and cry,
For we just couldn’t keep you,
No matter (无论) how we tried,
You’ll never be forgotten,
As long as we two live,
You gave us all the love,
A little dog could give,
Looking at your small hutch,
We know you are not with us,
From this moment on,
We begin to miss you much,
We’ll think about you often,
And wanna know where you are,
And in our hearts we’ll hear your bell,
Tinkling from afar (远处).
