When I walked into McCarley’s Bookstore in Ashland, Ore, I began to scan titles on the shelves. The man behind the counter, Mac McCarley, asked if I’d like         . I said yes because I needed to         for college.
I worked after school and during summers, and the job helped pay for my freshman year of college. I would work many other jobs: I made coffee in the Students’ Union         college and even made maps for the US Forest Service. But selling books was one of the most

I visited the boy in the recovery room after the operation. The first thing he did was hold up his         hand and said , “Thank you.” I felt a sense of reward.
At McCarley’s Bookstore I always sensed I was working for the         , not the store. Today it’s        . NBC News pays my salary, but I feel as if I work for the        , through my “Today” show, helping them make        of the world.

Tyler was born      with HIV. From the        beginning of his life, he was       on medications to enable him to survive. When he was five, he had a     surgically inserted in a vein in his chest.

At times, he also needed supplemented oxygen to support his      .
Tyler wasn"t willing to give up one single moment of his childhood to this        disease. It was not       to find him playing and racing around his backyard. Tyler"s mom often teased him by telling him that he moved so fast she needed to dress him in       . That way, when she looked out of the window to check on him playing in the yard, she could quickly        him.
This dreaded disease        wore down Tyler. He grew quite ill and, unfortunately,      did his HIV-infected mother. When it became apparent that he wasn"t going to survive, Tyler"s mom talked to him about death. She       him by telling Tyler that she was dying too, and that she would be with him soon     .
A few days before his death, Tyler asked me to his hospital bed and      , "I might die soon. I"m not scared. When I die, please       me in red. Mom promised she"s coming to heaven, too. I"ll be playing when she gets there, and I want to make sure she can find me."

An 80-year-old man was sitting on the sofa in his house along with his 45-year-old highly educated son.
Suddenly a crow perched on their window.
The father asked his son, “What is this?”
The son replied, “It is a crow.”
After a few minutes, the father asked his son the 2nd time, “What is this?”
The son said, “Father, I have just now told you ‘It’s a crow’.”
After a little while, the old father again asked his son the 3rd time, “What is this?”
At this time some expression of irritation was felt in the son’s tone when he said to his father. “It’s a crow, a crow, a crow.”
A little after, the father again asked his son the 4th time, “What is this?”
This time the son shouted at his father, “Why do you keep asking me the same question again and again, although I have told you so many times ‘IT IS A CROW’. Are you not able to understand this?”
A little later the father went to his room and came back with an old tattered diary, which he had maintained since his son was born. On opening a page, he asked his son to read that page. When the son read it, the following words were written in the diary:
“Today my little son aged three was sitting with me on the sofa, when a crow was sitting on the window. My son asked me 23 times what it was, and I replied to him all 23 times that it was a crow.

Most teens can"t wait to learn to drive. Not so with me. Driving made me nervous. I didn"t get a license until I turned 24 years old. As a result, when I first married, we only had one car and car pooled to work. My husband"s hours were different from mine by one hour. I worked earlier. So he dropped me off and went to the diner to drink coffee until work time.
Then, in the afternoons, I leisurely walked the three miles to his work place where I waited in his car, reading a book.
One day while waiting for him, I noticed the most beautiful Cadillac pull in the lot. It was powder blue and sleek looking. The kind of car you dream about. I was busily admiring the car, when I noticed the driver. Honestly, she was probably the prettiest woman I had ever seen off the movie screen.
She pulled into the spot beside our car and it was all I could do not to stare. There was a striking resemblance to Liz Taylor. Jet black hair and alabaster skin. Our eyes made contact and she smiled at me. Her eyes were as blue as the sea, and teeth like an even row of pearls. She was wearing a light blue shirt that just matched her car. Peeking through her long, softly curled hair I could see gold hoop earrings. They had to be gold to shine like that. A couple of minutes later, a nice looking man came out of the building, entered her car, leaned over and kissed her and she drove away.
Sitting there in my jeans, shirt and hair in a pony tail, I wanted to cry. How could some people have it all?
Maybe I would have forgotten about her, but the following week, I saw her again. Then it became almost routine to see her about once a week. She seemed friendly and always waved, flashing a big smile. My envy lingered long after she drove away.
Many nights when sleep evaded me, I would think about the beautiful lady. I wondered if she and her husband ate out, and where they dined, and what she was wearing. I wanted her to get out of the car and let me see her full length. Did she wear really high heeled shoes and pants, or a skirt.
I would get my answers in a couple of weeks.
Sitting in our usual parking lot, I was holding my book, watching her over the top of it. She was waiting and when her husband came to the car, she called to him. They spoke a few words and he opened the car door for her to step out. He took her arm and helped her out of the car. I could see very well as she moved to get out. She was wearing a skirt.
She haltingly walked around to the passenger side very slowly, leaning on a walking cane. Sitting sideways in the car, she lifted one leg with her hands and then the other one. The beautiful lady had a prosthesis on the left leg and a brace on the right leg. I couldn"t watch them drive away as the tears were blinding me. For weeks I had envied this woman and her way of life, while I had been able to walk three miles to our car!
When my husband arrived and found me crying, he immediately asked what was wrong. Through my tears, I told him about the beautiful lady. He said he knew her husband and also knew the story. The beautiful lady and her parents were in a car that either stalled or got caught on the railroad tracks and was hit by a train. Both parents were killed and she was severely injured. She was only 12 years old. The railroad made a large settlement with her because the crossing had no signals. He explained her car was specially built for her needs as well as the home.
I prayed for forgiveness all the way home. The lady I thought had everything I didn"t. I realized how lucky I was to have my parents, the ability to walk, run or dance through life and many wonderful things money can"t buy. I would not have traded places with the beautiful lady for anything
When you meet a person who seems to be much better off than you, don"t be fooled.
小题1:In the afternoons the woman walked three miles to her husband’s work place to___.
A．take exercise on the wayB．meet the beautiful lady.

A．She should have known the whole story earlier.
B．She shouldn’t have compared herself with the woman.
C．She shouldn’t have told her husband what she had seen.
D．She shouldn’t have seen the woman getting out of the car.
小题4: Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?
