souls belonged to the   4  .
     I stood up and walked between the tables. When I came to the biggest computer, I saw a thin, small man
   5 in front of it. "I"m Steve," he finally answered after I asked him a couple of times what his name was. "I
can"t talk with you. I"m   6  ,"he said. He was chatting online and,   7 , he was playing a computer game-a
war game. I was   8 .

     Compassion is a desire within us to help others. With effort, we can translate compassion into action. An
experience last weekend showed me this is true. I work part-time in a supermarket across from a building for
the elderly. These old people are our main customers, and it"s not hard to lose patience over their slowness.
But last Sunday, one aged gentleman appeared to teach me a valuable lesson. This untidy man walked up to my
register (收款机) with a box of biscuits. He said he was out of cash (现金), had just moved into his room, and
had nothing in his cupboards. He asked if we could let him have the food on trust. He promised to repay me the next day.
     I couldn"t help staring at him. I wondered what kind of person he had been ten or twenty years before, and
what he would be like if luck had gone his way. I had a hurt in my heart for this kind of human soul, all alone
in the world. I told him that I was sorry, but store rules didn"t allow me to do so. I felt stupid and unkind saying this, but I valued my job.
     Just then, another man, standing behind the first, spoke up. If anything, he looked more pitiable."Charge it
to me," was all he said.
     What I had been feeling was pity. Pity is soft and safe and easy. Compassion, on the other hand, is caring
in action. I thanked the second man but told him that was not allowed either. Then I reached into my pocket
and paid for the biscuits myself. I reached into my pocket because these two men had reached into my heart
and taught me compassion.

1. The aged gentleman who wanted to buy the biscuits ______.

A. promised to obey the store rules
B. forgot to take any money with him
C. hoped to have the food first and pay later
D. could not afford anything more expensive

2. Which of the following best describes the old gentleman?

A. kind and lucky
B. poor and lonely
C. friendly and helpful
D. hurt and disappointed

3. The writer acted upon the store rules because ______.

A. he wanted to keep his present job
B. he felt no pity for the old gentleman
C. he considered the old man dishonest
D. he expected someone else to pay for the old man

4. What does the writer learn from his experience?

A. Wealth is more important than anything else.
B. Helping others is easier said than done.
C. Experience is better gained through practice.
D. Obeying the rules means more than compassion.

     In the course of working my way through school, I took many jobs I would rather forget. But none of
these jobs was as dreadful as my job in an apple plant. The work was hard; the pay was poor; and, most of
all, the working conditions were terrible.
     First of all, the job made huge demands on my strength. For ten hours a night, I took boxes that rolled
down a metal track and piled them onto a truck. Each box contained twelve heavy bottles of apple juice. I
once figured out that I was lifting an average of twelve tons of apple juice every night.
     I would not have minded the difficulty of the work so much if the pay had not been so poor. I was paid
the lowest wage of that time-two dollars an hour. Because of the low pay, I felt eager to get as much as
possible. I usually worked twelve hours a night but did not take home much more than $ 100 a week.
     But even more than the low pay, what made me unhappy was the working conditions. During work I was
limited to two ten-minute breaks and an unpaid half hour for lunch. Most of my time was spent outside loading
trucks with those heavy boxes in near-zero-degree temperatures. The steel floors of the trucks were like ice,
which made my feet feel like stone. And after the production line shut down at night and most people left, I
had to spend two hours alone cleaning the floor.
     I stayed on the job for five months, all the while hating the difficulty of the work, the poor money, and the
conditions under which I worked. By the time I left, I was determined never to go back there again.

1. Why did the writer have to take many jobs at that time?

A. To pay for his schooling.
B. To save for his future.
C. To support his family
D. To gain some experience

2. The following facts describe the terrible working conditions of the plant EXCEPT ______.

A. loading boxes in the freezing cold
B. having limited time for breaks
C. working and studying at the same time
D. getting no pay for lunch time

3. What is the subject discussed in the text?

A. The writer"s unhappy school life.
B. The writer"s eagerness to earn money.
C. The writer"s experience as a full-time worker.
D. The writer"s hard work in an apple plant.

4. How is the text organized?

A. Topic-Argument-Explanation
B. Opinion-Discussion-Description
C. Main idea-Comparison-Supporting examples
D. Introduction-Supporting examples-Conclusion

      I did very badly at school. My headmaster thought I was   1 and when I was 14 he said, "You"re never

     After college I taught during the  11  in high schools and attended evening classes at London University,
where I got a  12  in history. I became a lecturer at a college and was thinking of  13  that job to write full
time  14  I was offered a part-time job at Leeds University. I began to feel proud of myself -  15  was a

     My writing career (职业) took off when I discovered (发现) my own style. Now I"m rich and  17 , have
been on TV, and met lots of film stars.  18  what does it mean? I  19  wish all the people that have put me
down had  20  :"I believe in you. You;ll succeed."

     On May 27, 1995, our life was suddenly changed. It happened a few minutes past three,   1 my husband,
Chris, fell from his horse as it   2 over a fence. Chris was paralyzed (瘫痪) from the chest down,   3 to
breathe normally. As he was thrown from his horse, we entered into a life of   4 with lots of unexpected
challenges (挑战). We went from the "haves" to the "have-nots". Or so we thought.
       5 what we discovered later were all the gifts that came out of   6 difficulties. We came to learn that
something   7 could happen in a disaster. All over the world people   8   Chris so much that letters and
postcards poured in every day. By the end of the third week in a   9 center in Virginia, about 35,000 pieces of
10  had been received and sorted.
     As   11 , we opened letter after letter. They gave us  12  and became a source of strength for us. We used
them to  13  ourselves. I would go to the pile of letters marked with "Funny" if we needed a  14 , or to the
"Disabled" box to find advice from people in wheelchairs or  15  in bed living happily and  16 .
     These letters, we realized, had to be shared. And so  17  we offer one of them to you. Dear Chris, My
husband and I were so sorry to hear of your  18   accident last week. No doubt your family and your friends are
giving you the strength to face this  19  challenge. People everywhere are also giving you best wishes every day
and we are among those who are keeping you   20 .
                                                                                                                                    Yours Sincerely,
