     While I was waiting outside my wife"s office building for her to get out of work.I saw a bum (流浪乞丐) coming my way.
     "I hope he won"t ask me for any money,  " I thought.
     He came and sat in front of the bus stop.After a few minutes he spoke."That"s a very pretty car,  " he
said.He was in rags,  but he had an air of dignity (尊严) about him.
     I gave him a smile and continued cleaning my car.
     He sat there quietly as I worked.The expected asking for money never came.As the silence between
us widened,  it seemed that a voice inside me said,  "Ask him if he needs any help."
     "Do you need any help?" I asked.
     He answered in three simple but meaningful words that I shall never forget.We  often look for wisdom
in great men and women,  and we expect it from those of higher learning and achievements.I expected
nothing but an outstretched (伸出的) dirty hand from him,  but he said three words that shook me.
"Don"t we all?" he said.
     I_was_feeling_high,  successful and_important above_a_bum_in_the_street,  until those three words
hit me like a shot.
     Don"t we all?
     I needed help.Maybe not for a bus fare or for a place to sleep,  but I needed help.I reached in my
wallet and gave him not only enough for a bus fare,  but enough to get a warm meal and shelter for the
day.Those three little words still ring true.No matter how much you have,  you need help,  too.No matter
how little you have,  no matter how loaded you are with problems,  even without money or a place to
sleep,  you can give help.
     Maybe God looked down,  called an angel,  dressed him like a bum,  and then said,  "Go to that man
cleaning the car.That man needs help."
     Don"t we all?

1. The writer was near the bus stop________.

A. to meet the bum  
B. to wait for his wife
C. to wait for a bus  
D. to clean his car

2. At the sight of the bum,  the writer________.

B. hoped to give the bum some money
C. wished the bum not to ask him for money
D. pretended to be cleaning his car

3. The underlined part in the passage means "________".

A. I thought I"m better in any way than the bum
B. I felt the bum is as good in some ways as I am
C. I felt I liked the bum very much
D. I thought I should respect the bum

4. What does the story mainly tell us?

A. Those who are poor are in greater need of help.
B. Anybody should give help to others.
C. Poor as a man may be,  he has dignity.
D. Whatever we are,  we need help.

     At eighteen years of age,I flew up to San Francisco to meet a pen pal who I had written
to for over a year.The first thing we did when we got home was to bake (烘焙) chocolate
chip cookies,and our strong_ties were formed.From laughing at the burnt cookies,to eating
the chocolate chips instead of putting them in the dough (生面团),it was fantastic.We became
best friends.Twelve years later,we still reflect on that moment,and laugh with silliness and joy.
     Fast forward to 2003,I was in my first month of training in radiation oncology (放射肿瘤学),
and scared.I was in a new city,alone,and afraid of having to make a new start.One patient
that we were treating used to come into the department with freshly baked goods for everyone
once a week with a smile on her face.She was treated with a really tough regimen (疗法) for
her cancer,yet she still overcame the pain and exhaustion (精疲力竭) to bake for the
department.I once asked her why,and she said it gave her purpose and meaning.
     This purpose was far greater for me than a simple cookie.I really didn"t know how to
bake,and I told her that.She then invited me to her home for lessons.With her as a guide
I learned some of the art of baking.While baking we talked about life,regrets,and dreams.
We soon became very close friends.
     A few weeks later,her husband came to the department and gave me a large box with
a handwritten note.I opened the box.Inside was a Kitchen Aid mixer,and the note saying,
"Please remember me when you bake,keep at it and you"ll change the world." He told me
that her cancer had spread.She was in her final stages of life.I cried and cried.It was simply
the most generous gift that I had ever received.

1.What do the underlined words "strong ties" in Paragraph 1 refer to?
A.Cooking skills.
B.Close friendship.
C.First impression.
D.Exercise program.
2.Which of the following can be used to describe the patient?

B.Clever and active.
C.Warmhearted and generous.
D.Confident and independent.
3.The underlined word in Paragraph 2 refers to________.
A.the tough regimen
B.baking for the department
C.the pain and exhaustion
D.the cancer
4.After receiving the gift,the author probably felt________.
A.very pleased and honored
B.a bit disappointed and confused
C.quite excited and satisfied
D.deeply moved and sad
5.Which of the following can be the best title for the passage?
A.Baking can build a friendship
B.A friend is a second self
C.When your friends face difficulty
D.Fine art of making friends
