     A few years ago when my daughter was about two years old,  I went through a difficult time.My
marriage was in trouble,  I was pregnant (***的) and not particularly well and I didn"t have much money.Looking back I think I was also a bit depressed,  but I had to get on with taking care of my daughter the
best I could.
     One day I thought I would take my daughter to the park for a nice day as she liked there,  and I
thought it was a nice thing to do.I decided to walk because the bus was expensive,  so it took us a long
time to get there.When we finally got there,  immediately my daughter began to cry.She was cold,  she was thirsty,  and she wanted to go home.To be honest,  I had not prepared properly.I didn"t even have any
money to buy a drink or to take the bus back home.I was so frustrated and cross with myself that my
dream of a nice day failed.
     I started walking back home (it was nearly 2 miles),  and my daughter would not stop crying.I felt so
miserable and cross with myself and my life that I started crying too.
     At that point a car stopped and a gentleman offered us a lift.He took us home,  and seemed really
concerned-he even offered me all his change!   The kindness of this stranger to a stranger like me really
made me feel better.I never saw him again and I don"t know who he is but he really helped me out that
day,  so I just want to say thank you.

A. tell us how she got through her difficult time

阅读理解     In the animal kingdom, weekness can bring about aggression in other animals. This sometimes
happens with humans also. But I have found that my weakness brings out the kindness in people. I see
it every day when people hold doors for me, pour cream into my coffee, or help me to put on my coat.
And I have discovered that it makes them happy.
     From my wheelchair experience, I see the best in people, but sometimes I feel sad because those who appear independent miss the kindness I see daily. They don"t get to see this soft side of others. Often we
try every way possible to avoid showing our weakness, which includes a lot of pretending. But only when we stop pretending we"re brave or strong do we allow people to show the kindness that"s in them.
     Last month, when I was driving home on a busy highway, I began to feel unwell and drove more
slowly than usual. People behind me began to get impatient and angry, with some speeding up alongside
me, horning(按喇叭)or even shouting at me. At that moment, I decided to do something I had never
done in twentyfour years of driving. I put on the car flashlights and drove on at a really low speed.
     No more angry shouts and no more horns!
     When I put on my flashlights, I was saying to the other drivers, "I have a problem here. I am weak
and doing the best I can. "And everyone understood. Several times, I saw drivers who wanted to pass.
They couldn"t get around me because of the stream of passing traffic. But instead of getting impatient and
angry, they waited, knowing the driver in front of them was in some way weak.
     Sometimes situations call for us to act strong and brave even when we don"t feel that way. But those
are few and far between. More often, it would be better if we don"t pretend we feel strong when we feel
weak or pretend that we are brave when we"re scared. 1. The author has discovered that people will feel happy when________. A. they offer their help
B. they receive others" help
C. they feel others" kindness
D. they show their weakness2. The author feels sad sometimes because________. A. he has a soft heart
B. he relies much on others
C. some people pretend to be kind
D. some people fail to see the kindness in others3. What did the other drivers do when they saw the flashlights?A. They speeded up to pass.
B. They waited with patience.
C. They tried their best to help.
D. They put on their flashlights too. 4. In this passage, the author advises us to________. A. handle problems by ourselves
B. accept help from others
C. admit our weakness
D. show our bravery5. Which of the following is the BEST title for the passage?A. A Wheelchair Experience
B. Weakness and Kindness
C. Weakness and Strength
D. A Driving Experience

     Anyone who has ever run a marathon knows how difficult it is to complete the distance.Now imagine
running 142 of them, back to back-a feat that Minnesota resident Steven Knowlton has just completed.
     Mr.Knowlton began his run on July 30th from Seattle, Washington.From there he ran his way through Oregon, Idaho and then on to the Rocky Mountains in Wyoming and Colorado.He then jogged his way
through Kansas and Missouri, before continuing east and south through Kentucky, Tennessee, Mississippi, Alabama and Georgia.On Saturday, November 13th, after 100 days, 3,715 miles and six pairs of
sneakers, he finally reached his destination-Key Largo, Florida.
     While that in itself is incredible, what is even more so is the fact that he did it without taking a day of
rest and with no support or backup vehicle.Instead, he wheeled along a baby stroller(婴儿车), filled with drinks, snacks and an extra pair of shoes.The 45yearold man says that he ran through painful shin splits
(胫部开裂), extreme tiredness and bad weather, because if he took a break, he would lose his courage
and be tempted to take many more!
     Having completed over 43 marathons and 2 ultramarathons(double the distance), with his earliest one
at the age of nine, Mr.Knowlton is no stranger to longdistance runs.However, this brilliant one was done
for a cause-to raise funds for and awareness of Crohn"s disease, something he has suffered from since he was 17.
     Mr.Knowlton who is currently enjoying some welldeserved rest on the beautiful beaches of Florida,
says the run will be  memorable for many reasons, not the least of which is the kindness  of strangers who offered him food, money and even shelter along the way.His biggest issue?Police officials stopped him
especially when he was running across highways, because they believed he was endangering a baby in his
stroller!1. We can learn about Mr.Knowlton that________.A. he completed about 142 marathons in half a year

B. he took a baby along with him during the long journey
C. he ran through painful shin splits and extreme tiredness
D. he ran nonstop,, providing himself with all necessities along the way4. Mr.Knowlton did such an extremely long run partly because________.A. he was fond of running marathons
