举一反三
I was on the shoulder of a busy highway in Chicago, looking at my tool-box and spare tire (备用轮胎). I had 31 tires before—that was not a big deal—but I was 32 about being approached by another person while stuck on the side of the road, or being 33 by a passing car.
As I bent into the trunk (后备箱), I heard a man’s 34 from behind and to my left. I had no idea what he said, 35 when I heard his voice I screamed and ran toward the 36 building. After a moment I realized he wasn’t 37 me, so I turned to see what he was doing.
38 , I saw a minibus full of boy scouts (童子军队员). They then 39 in front of my car. And I heard the man tell the boys to remove the spare tire from my trunk to 40 my flat! As I timidly (胆怯地) walked back, I could hear him speaking to the 41 .
“See, boys,” he said to them, “this young lady is terrified, and for good 42 . Thousands of young women are 43 every year. She did the right thing 44 like that.” He then told the boys how they, as men, are 45 not only for 46 and protecting them. After he made that 47 , he gave step-to-step instructions on changing a flat on the side of the road 48 .
The boys learned a lot that day, and so did I. I’m so grateful there are 49 men in the world. I saw one, 50 our youth to be honorable, making the world a safer place for women, for everyone.

I studied engineering after enjoying top marks, as high school came relatively easy. Then university life came!
I thought that I must have some learning disorder, as it seemed that everyone else was absorbing the material and making progress while to me it was an insurmountable(不能克服的) struggle. There were never enough hours in the day and weekend to attend the lectures, study the lessons and then do the assignment.
During my darkest hour I called home to speak to my father: “Dad, I don’t think I can handle this.” My father then said something, which cut through me like a knife: “There is no returning home. If you quit, then you are on your own.”
I hung up thinking what a terrible heartless thing to say. Then, I determined to somehow gut it out(坚持到底). There seemed to be no other choices available! Soon afterwards, I noticed a sigh posted in a campus common area stating: “Studying Skills” with a place & time to meet. It said that “there is help available”. I attended that meeting! I soon discovered there were several others in a similar situation and that everyone wanted to help each other get through this challenging first term. I soon found a study partner, who helped me a lot, and I was grateful to him for his kind help.
Yes, it was still a very challenging first year, but I found the needed strength and support to get through it. In fact my father has been helping me since then, but he has done it in another way. I know now in my heart that he did the very best help he could to help me fly. Thanks Dad for the push!

During my review for the medical boards, I gained 101 pounds in four months and promised to exercise when all of this was over. I successfully passed the medical boards and now I have to face the music.
One morning, I woke up and decided to go to a park to start working out. I got out of bed, washed my face, brushed my teeth and put on my sports shoes. Then I headed for the park. While going there, I decided to set a goal for myself, that, I had to finish 10 rounds before I went home.
Upon reaching the park, I joined the people in walking around the park. I was enjoying every step, breathing in fresh air, appreciating the green grass and looking at the dried leaves falling from the trees while listening to my iPod.
On my 5th round, I felt tired, hungry and thirsty. I thought of giving it up, going home and sleeping again. As the idea battled in my mind, I was reminded about the goal I had set just a while ago. I kept on walking and as I looked around, I saw myself in the midst of men and women much older than me who continued to move on. Some even suffered from a stroke(中风) that had difficulty walking, some took on small steps with a cane on hand and some took on pauses before they continued their walk but still they kept on walking.
Suddenly I realized that each of us has set our own goals in our lives, such as reaching a dream, building up a career, correcting a past mistake or starting a business. The process won’t be easy. We may encounter(遇到) a lot of difficulties and obstacles that may push us to just give up.
Amazed by the men and women whom I walked with that morning, I finished my goal in the end.
Let us be inspired with the people around us who experience the same or even a greater amount of difficulty but still don’t give up and continue until they reach their goals and now are savoring(享受) their success.

小题2:What did the author do on his way to the park?| A．He worked out a plan for his future. | | B．He reflected on the causes of his overweight. | | C．He decided to finish 10 rounds that morning. | | D．He planned to take exercises every day. |
小题3:When the author was walking the 5th round _____.| A．he didn’t want to continue walking | | B．he found it easy to keep his promise | | C．he was enjoying walking in the park | | D．he was too tired to keep up with others |
小题4:What inspired the author to finish 10 rounds that morning?| A．The goal he kept in mind. | B．His strong will to keep fit. | | C．The good figure he wanted. | D．The people exercising in the park. |

The nurse had him take a 31 in the waiting area, 32 him it would be at least 40 minutes 33 someone would be able to see him. I saw him 34 his watch and decided, since I was 35 busy—my patient didn’t 36 at the appointed hour, I would examine his wound. While taking care of his wound, I asked him if he had another doctor’s appointment.

I was 43 , and asked him, “And you 44 go every morning, even though she doesn’t know who you are?”
He smiled and said, “She doesn’t know me, but I know who she is.” I had to hold back 45 as he left.

“Good morning!” said a woman as she walked up to an old man sitting on the ground. The man slowly looked up. He was Jack, who had been begging around here for a couple of years.
“See that cafeteria（自助餐厅）over there?” she asked. “I’m going to get you something to eat and get you out of the cold for a while.”
She sat down at the table across from her amazed dinner guest. She stared at him intently. “Jack, do you remember me?” Old Jack thought hard and said, “I think so--I mean you do look familiar.”
“I was thin and hungry,” she said. “Maybe I’ve filled out now more than when you worked here. That was when I was just out of college. I had come to the city looking for a job, but I couldn’t find anything. Finally I was down to my last few cents and had been kicked out of my apartment. I walked in the streets for days, cold and hungry. I saw this place and walked in hoping that I could satisfy my hunger.”
Jack lit up with a smile. “Now I remember,” he said. “I was behind the serving counter. You came up and asked me if you could work for something to eat. I said it was against company’s policy.”
The woman continued, “Then you made me the biggest roast beef sandwich, gave me a cup of coffee, and told me to go over to a corner table and enjoy it. I was afraid that you would get into trouble. Then, I saw you put the price of my food in the cash register.”
“So you started your own business?” old Jack said. “I got a job that very afternoon. I worked my way up. Eventually I started my own business that, with the help of God, prospered.” She opened her purse and pulled out a business card. “When you are finished here, I want you to pay a visit to a Mr. Lyons, the personnel director of my company. He’ll find something for you to do around the office.” She smiled, “If you ever need anything, my door is always open to you.”
There were tears in the old man’s eyes, “How can I ever thank you?” he said. “Don’t thank me;” the woman answered, “thank yourself. It was your kindness that let me know you.”
小题1:Why did the woman invite the beggar to dinner?| A．The beggar was once her friend. | | B．She felt very pity for the beggar. | | C．The beggar once offered her a free meal. | | D．She once worked with the beggar. |
小题2:What does the underlined phrase “fill out” in Paragraph 4 probably mean?| A．wear a beautiful dress. | B．change one’s features. | | C．have a very high position. | D．become larger or fatter. |
小题3:Years ago the woman walked into the place she caught sight of to __________.| A．find a job there | B．get herself out of cold | | C．get something to eat | D．meet with the man |
小题4:What conclusion can you draw from this passage?| A．Kindness is an investment that never fails. | | B．Nothing is difficult for the man who will try. | | C．Don’t judge a person from his/her appearance. | | D．God helps those who help themselves. |
