Today was a big day for my eldest son, Kevin. He had his first big boy haircut. Before today, we have always stood by his side, told the hairdresser what to do and watched over the whole thing. We’ve been working on the rewards (奖赏) of responsibility with my son for quite some time. Today, he got one of those rewards by having his own haircut. When they arrived at the shop, his father showed him a book with lots of styles of haircuts for boys. After he made his choice, he waited patiently for his turn. My husband decided he would get his own hair cut at the same time. When their names were called, Kevin showed the hairdresser the picture of his chosen haircut, which, thankfully, was not a strange haircut. The hairdresser looked to my husband for approval (批准) and he told her his son was in charge. During his haircut, Kevin talked happily with the hairdresser. My husband, who was getting his haircut in the next chair, kept silent. When all was said and done, Kevin looked quite handsome. When it was time to pay, he reached into his pocket and took out the cash my husband gave him. He handed it to her and said, “Thanks, it’s all yours.” I guess that’s the six-year-old equivalent (对应的语句) of “keep the change.” I have to admit I was a little nervous about the whole thing before, but I’m a believer now. My son is growing up and ready for new big boy experiences. 小题1:When Kevin got his haircut, the author used to .A.do her own thing | B.leave him alone | C.talk happily with her son | D.manage the whole thing | 小题2:What did the author’s husband do at the hairdresser’s?A.Picked out a hair style for his son. | B.Talked happily with the hairdressers. | C.Had his own haircut silently | D.Stood together with the author. | 小题3:What was the hair style that Kevin chose like?A.It was very strange. | B.It suited him well. | C.It was very bad. | D.It was more like a girl’s |

Last year, I took a sightseeing trip to Washington, DC. I heard a voice say, “Can you help me?” When I turned around, I saw an elderly blind woman with her hand extended. Immediately, I pulled out all of my change and placed it on her hand without even looking at her. But the blind woman smiled and said, “I don’t want your money. I just need help finding the post office.” In an instant, I realized what I had done. I acted with prejudice—I judged another person simply for what I assumed she had to be. I hated what I saw in myself. The thing I had forgotten about myself is that I am an immigrant. I left Honduras and arrived in the US at the age of 15. I started my new life with two suitcases, my brother and sister. Through the years, I have been a doorkeeper, cashier and pizza delivery driver among many other humble (卑微的) jobs, and eventually I became a network engineer. In my own life, I have experienced prejudice. I remember a time—at the age of 17 —when I was a busboy, I heard a father tell his little boy that if he did not do well in school, he would end up like me. But now, living in my American middle—class lifestyle, it is too easy to forget my past, to forget who I am, where I have been, and to lose sight of where I want to be going. That blind woman on the streets cured me of my blindness. She reminded me of my belief in humility (谦虚). By the way, I helped that lady to the post office. I hope to thank her for the priceless lesson. 小题1:How did the writer give the blind woman money?A.In a modest way. | B.In a polite way. | C.In an impatient way. | D.In a painful way. | 小题2:According to the text, the writer________. A. still lives a poor life B. was busy with his work C. was born in Honduras D. was a native of Washington D.C. 小题3:According to the text, the author most probably agrees that one should_________.A.be nice to the elderly and the disabled | B.try to experience different kinds of cultures | C.treat others equally with love and respect | D.think about one’s past as often as possible | 小题4:What would be the best title of the text?A.A priceless lesson | B.An act of prejudice | C.A sightseeing trip | D.A humble moment |
