He tried to shave quickly and cut himself when he got blood all over his clean shirt, so he had to find another one. The only other shirt that was clean needed ironing, so he ironed it.

Our task was to deliver as many boxes of food as possible to those in need in Camden, New Jersey. There were no Christmas carolers (唱颂歌的人) walking these streets that were lined with boarded-up (用木板封住的) houses and broken windows. Mothers kept their children close as they hurried down the streets. It was mid-afternoon, but even the bright sun couldn"t warm this place. Red tickets in the windows marked which houses we were to visit. Our white truck stopped in front of one townhouse and our group knocked on the door. In our arms were boxes filled with ham, bread and other essentials to make the perfect Christmas dinner. Four small faces glanced through the curtains and one exhausted mom answered the door. She seemed embarrassed to be caught in her nightgown with undone hair. She was in her mid-20s, but her rough skin and tired eyes added years. "Sacred Heart food delivery service," I smiled."Where can we put this for you?" She pointed and as we entered the house, I noticed the conditions they lived in. The children climbed around, wearing only diapers (尿布). There were no carpets, only cold concrete beneath our feet. There was no Christmas tree or decorations. My heart sank. It was so cold, and I found it hard to believe that this was reality for this family. We set the boxes down and the mother grabbed my hand. "You don"t know how much of a blessing this is to me and my family," she said, crying."We are just getting by." I opened my arms and gave her a hug. "Happy holidays!" I replied before I headed out the door. I realized how warm I felt inside. This was unlike anything I had ever experienced. We cannot help what family we are born into, but we can help each other. | 1. From Paragraph 1, we can infer that Camden may be a place where ______. | A. the living conditions were terrible B. people had no belief C. there was no sign of life D. little sunshine was received | 2. What impression did the woman leave on the author? | A. She was shy and cold to visitors. B. She was confident and energetic. C. She wasn"t good at dressing herself up. D. She looked much older than her age. | 3. By saying "We are just getting by", the woman meant ______. | A. they were waiting for help B. they were looking for food and clothing C. they were going to move away D. they were living a very poor life | 4. The passage mainly tells us that _______. | A. the poor can also help others B. assisting the poor needs actions C. people should help each other D. having more children causes poverty | 完形填空。 | Tears clouded my eyes as I stood in our washing room, holding Brett"s jeans and shirt full of burn holes.

Yet none of this could compare to the emotional 5 Brett had done to our once quiet home. Brett came to live with us when he was 12 years old.

He was a bestselling author of many books. He had a loving marriage and twin three-year-old girls. His doctor"s sudden bad news left him shocked."Would my daughters wonder who I was if I died? Would they wonder what I thought?" Feiler recalls. [2] One day, Feiler got a big idea: he would get a group of trusted men to serve as surrogate (代理) fathers after his death. His new book, The Council of Dads, recalls that moment:"I started making a list of men from all parts of my life. These are the men who know me best, men who traveled with me, studied with me, men who know my voice..." And each man should have one or two things in common with Feiler. [3] Feiler made his first request to Shumlin, a farmer. The two became friends just after high school. Feiler chose him because he was an adventurer who always said "yes" to life. [4] Other dads on Feiler"s list include Ben, a teacher who would invite the kids to seek the truth of life and another man, named Henry, who believes in the power of friendship. [5] David Black, the editor and close friend who helped Feiler become a well-known writer, also made the cut. "I work to help people"s dreams come true," he recalls. "That"s in part what Feiler asked of me, to be a member of the Council." [6] However, the diagnosis (诊断) that led Feiler to has proved wrong. Today, Feiler is cancer-free. But he says his idea has caught on, and he believes that his book, The Council of Dads, and the website councilofdads. com is inspiring similar groups to form wherever dads seek strength in the fellowship of fathers. | 1.
