True forgiveness is one of the most remarkable qualities a human can possess!
In the fighting between two countries in the 1970s, a young man was walking from one village to the
next when he was 1 by an armed guerrilla (游击队) fighter from the enemy country. The fighter
2 the young man down the hill where he was to be 3 .
But a (n) 4 thing happened. The young man, who had 5 military (军事的) training, was able
to disarm (解除武装) the fighter. Now, the table was 6 , and it was the fighter who was ordered
down the hill.
As they walked, 7 , the young man began to reflect on what was happening. Recalling the 8 of
his mother, "Love your enemies; do good to those who 9 you." he found he could go no further. He
10 the gun into the bushes, told the fighter he was 11 to go and turned back 12 the hill.
Minutes later, he heard footsteps 13 behind him as he walked. "Is this the end after all?" he 14 .
Perhaps the fighter had got the gun and wanted to finish him off.
But he continued on, 15 glancing back, until his enemy reached him, only to grab him in a hug and
pour out 16 for sparing his life.
Mercy often wears the face of 17 . And though it usually isn"t an enemy in uniform that we are
challenged to forgive, we hav 18 for mercy every day. Family members and friends, co-workers and
neighbors and even strangers have 19 for our forgiveness. You know who they are.
As Mahatma Gandhi said, "The 20 can never forgive. Forgiveness is the attribute (特性) of the
strong." Be strong. Forgive. |

Perhaps every old generation since ancient times has complained about young people, and today is no different. Isn"t it clear that compared with our glorious selves, kids these days are self-absorbed social
network addicts?
However, this summer, my impression of today"s kids has been restored by the story of Rachel
Beckwith. She could teach my generation a great deal about maturity and unselfishness - even though
she"s just 9 years old, or was when she died on July 23.
At age 5, Rachel had her long hair shorn off and sent to Locks of Love, which uses hair donations to
make artificial hair for children who have lost their own hair because of cancer or other diseases. After
that, Rachel announced that she would grow her hair long again and donate it again. And that"s what she
did.
Then when she was 8 years old, her church began raising money to build wells in Africa through an
organization called charity: water. Rachel was astonished when she learned that other children had no
clean water, so she skipped her ninth birthday party. Rachel set up a birthday page on the charity: water
website with a target of $300. Instead of presents, she asked her friends to donate $9 each to charity:
water. Finally Rachel raised only $220 - which had left her just a bit disappointed.
Then, on July 20, a serious traffic accident left Rachel critically injured. Church members and friends,
seeking some way of showing support, began donating on Rachel"s birthday page - charitywater
.org/Rachel - and donations reached her $300 goal, and kept rising.
But Rachel couldn"t hear that she had raised beyond the $47,544 that the singer Justin Bieber had
raised for charity: water on his 17th birthday. "I think Rachel would have been overjoyed for she secretly
had a crush on (迷恋) him," Rachel"s mom said.
When it was clear that Rachel would never regain consciousness, the family decided to remove the life
support system. Her parents donated her hair for the final time to Locks of Love, and her organs to other
children.
Word about Rachel"s last fund-raising spread. Contributions poured in, often in $9 each. The total
donations soon topped $100,000, then $300,000.
This is a story not just of one girl, but of a young generation of outstanding problem-solvers working
creatively. |
| 1. What does the author think of today"s kids after he knew the story of Rachel Beckwith? |
A. They are good at social network.
B. They have narrow minds and care about nothing.
C. They are unselfish as grown-ups.
D. They can get problems settled effectively. |
| 2. When was it that Rachel"s hair was donated for the final time to Locks of Love? |
A. At her age of 5.
B. Before her ninth birthday.
C. Right after the traffic accident.
D. After her death. |
| 3. Why did each of Rachel"s friends donate $9 to charity: water? |
A. Because she died at the age of 9 and they wanted to honor her.
B. Because she had asked them to do that.
C. Because she set up her birthday page on June 9th.
D. Because she began to raise money from her ninth birthday. |

A. Rachel collected more than him who she admired

My newly-rented small apartment was far away from the centre of London and it was becoming
essential for me to find a job, so finally I spent a whole morning getting to town and putting my name
down to be considered by London Transport for a job on the underground. They were looking for
guards, not drivers. This suited me. I couldn"t drive a car but thought that I could probably guard a train,
and perhaps continue to write my poems between stations. The writers Keats and Chekhov had been
doctors. T.S. Eliot had worked in a bank and Wallace Stevens for an insurance company. I"d be a
subway guard. I could see myself being cheerful, useful, a good man in a crisis. Obviously I"d be
overqualified but I was willing to forget about that in return for a steady income and travel privileges-those being particularly welcome to someone living a long way from the city centre.
The next day I sat down, with almost a hundred other candidates, for the intelligence test. I must have
done all right because after about half an hour"s wait I was sent into another room for a psychological test. This time there were only about fifty candidates. The interviewer sat at a desk. Candidates were signaled
forward to occupy the seat opposite him when the previous occupant had been dismissed, after a greater
or shorter time. Obviously the long interviews were the more successful ones. Some of the interviews
were as short as five minutes. Mine was the only one that lasted a minute and a half.
I can remember the questions now: "Why did you leave your last job?" "Why did you leave your job
before that?" "And the one before that?" I can"t recall my answers, except that they were short at first
and grew progressively shorter. His closing statement, I thought, revealed a lack of sensitivity which
helped to explain why as a psychologist, he had risen no higher than the underground railway. "You"ve
failed the psychological test and we are unable to offer you a position."
Failing to get that job was my low point. Or so I thought, believing that the work was easy. Actually,
such jobs - being a postman is another one I still desire - demand exactly the sort of elementary yet
responsible awareness that the habitual dreamer is least qualified to give. But I was still far short of full
self-understanding. I was also short of cash. |
| 1.The writer applied for the job chiefly because ________. |
A. he wanted to work in the centre of London
B. he could no longer afford to live without one
C. he was not interested in any other available job
D. he had received some suitable training |
| 2. The writer thought he was overqualified for the job because ________. |
A. he often traveled underground
B. he had written many poems
C. he could deal with difficult situations
D. he had worked in a compa |
| 3. The length of his interview meant that _________. |
A. he was not going to be offered the job
B. he had not done well in the intelligence test
C. he did not like the interviewer at all
D. he had little work experience to talk about |
| 4. What does the writer realize now that he did not realize then? |
A. How unpleasant ordinary jobs can be.
B. How difficult it is to be a poet.
C. How unsuitable he was for the job.
D. How badly he did in the interview. |
| 5. What"s the writer"s opinion of the psychologist? |
A. He was very aggressive(有进取心的).
B. He was unhappy with his job.
C. He was quite inefficient.
D. He was rather unsympathetic. |

For eighty four days old Santiago had not caught a single fish. At first a young boy, Manolin, had
shared his bad fortune, but after the fortieth luckless day the boy"s father told his son to go in another
boat. From that time on, Santiago worked alone. The boy loved the old fisherman and always helped
him with money and food. Usually, they would talk about the fish they had taken in luckier times or
about American baseball after supper, while at night, alone in his cottage, Santiago dreamed of lions on
the beaches of Africa, where he had gone years before. He no longer dreamed of his dead wife.
On the eighty-fifth day, Santiago set off to fish before dawn. Two of his baits (饵) were fresh tunas (金
枪鱼) the boy had given him, as well as sardines (沙丁鱼) to cover his hooks. Then he set his lines
which went straight down into deep dark water.
As the sun rose he saw other boats in toward shore. A bird showed him where dolphin were chasing
some flying fish. This time Santiago saw tuna jumping in the sunlight. A small one took the hook on his
line. Pulling the fish aboard, the old man thought it a good fortune.
Toward noon a marlin, a common fish in the sea, started eating the bait which was one hundred
meters down. Gently the old man played the fish, a big one, as he knew from the weight on the line. At
last he struck to settle the hook. The fish did not come out of the surface. Instead, it began to pull the
boat to the northwest. The old man followed it. Although he was alone and no longer strong, he had his
skill and knew many tricks. He waited patiently for the fish to be tired .
It was cold after the sunset. When something took one of his remaining baits, he cut the line with his
knife. Once the marlin leaned suddenly, pulling Santiago forward on his face and cutting his cheek. By
dawn his left hand was cramped (抽筋的). The fish had headed northward; there was no land in sight.
Hungry, he cut pieces from the tuna and chewed them slowly.
That morning the fish jumped. Seeing it, Santiago knew he had hooked the biggest marlin he had
ever seen. Then the fish went down and turned toward the east. Santiago drank a little water from the
bottle during the hot afternoon.
Close to nightfall a dolphin took the small hook he had rebaited. He lifted it aboard, careful. After he
had rested, he cut meat from the dolphin and kept also the two flying fish he found in its stomach. That
night he slept. He awoke to feel the line running through his fingers as the fish jumped. Feeding line
slowly, he tried to tire the marlin. After the fish slowed its run, he washed his cut hands in sea water and
ate one of the flying fish. At sunrise the marlin began to circle. Faint, he worked to bring the big fish
nearer with each turn. Almost exhausted, he finally drew his big fish alongside and drove in the harpoon
(鱼叉). The fish was two feet longer than the boat. No fish like it had ever been seen in Havana harbor.
An hour later, he sighted the first shark, a fierce Mako, and it came in fast to chase after the dead
marlin. The old man struck the shark with his harpoon. The Mako rolled and sank, carrying the harpoon
with it and leaving the marlin bloody. He knew the smell would spread. Watching, he saw two sharks
closing in. He struck at one with his knife and watched it sliding down into deep water. The other he
killed while it tore at the flesh of the marlin. When the third appeared, he thrust (刺) it with the knife.
The other sharks came at sunset. At first he tried to beat them with the tiller (舵柄) from the boat, but
his hands were bleeding and there were too many in the sea. In the darkness, as he steered toward the
harbor of Havana, he heard them hitting the boat again and again. But the old man thought only of his
steering and his great tiredness. He had gone out too far and the sharks had beaten him. He knew they
would leave him nothing but the stripped skeleton of the big marlin.
All lights were out when he sailed into the little harbor and beached his boat. He could just make out
the white backbone and the upstanding tail of the fish. Once he fell under their weight and lay patiently
until he could gather his strength to go on. In his cottage he fell on his bed and went to sleep. |

It was a winter morning, just a couple of weeks before Christmas 2005. While most people were
warming up their cars, Trevor, my husband, had to get up early to ride his bike four kilometers away
from home to work. On arrival, he parked his bike outside the back door as he usually does. After
putting in 10 hours of labor, he returned to find his bike gone.
The bike, a black Kona 18 speed, was our only transport. Trevor used it to get to work, putting in
60-hour a week to support his young family. And the bike was also used to get groceries, saving us from
having to walk long distances from where we live.
I was so sad that someone would steal our bike that I wrote to the newspaper and told them our
story. Shortly after that, several people in our area offered to help. One wonderful stranger even bought
a bike, then called my husband to pick it up. Once again my husband had a way to get to and from his
job. It really is an honor that a complete stranger would go out of their way for someone they have never
met before.
People say that a smile can be passed from one person to another, but acts of kindness from strangers
are even more so. This experience has had a spreading effect in our lives because it strengthened our
faith in humanity as a whole. And it has influenced us to be more mindful of ways we, too, can share with
others. No matter how big or how small, an act of kindness shows that someone cares. And the results
can be everlasting. |
| 1.Why was the bike so important to the couple? |
A. They used it for work and daily life.
B. It was their only possession.
C. It was a nice Kona 18 speed.
D. The man"s job was bike racing. |
| 2.What does the underlined phrase mean? |
A. go very far to see someone
B. walk out on foot to greet someone
C. help someone with one"s best
D. enjoy the moment with someone |
| 3.We can infer from the text that ________. |
A. the couple worked 60 hours a week
B. people were busy before Christmas
C. the stranger brought over the bike
D. life was hard for the young family |
| 4. How did people get to know the couple"s problem? |
A. From a stranger.
B. From a newspaper.
C. From TV news.
D. From radio broadcasts. |
| 5.What do the couple learn from their experience? |
A. Strangers are usually of little help.
B. One should take care of their bike.
C. News reports make people famous.
D. An act of kindness can mean a lot. |
