题型：河南省模拟题难度：来源：
passengers, my friend Annie and her two children. No, I"m not Annie"s driver. I"m just a friend.
Let me explain. I"m 68, retired and live alone. Annie"s 27, works as a part-time bank teller and is married
with two kids. We"re different, but we have one very important need in common-a car. I couldn"t afford to
fix my own car and the bus didn"t go everywhere I needed to go.
A friend had a suggestion. "My daughter Annie"s been using my old pontiac while her husband job-hunts,"
he said, "He got laid off and I know they could use help with gas. Maybe you two could share the car."
Share a car? We Americans are pretty territorial about our automobiles. Still, need overrode (压倒)
nervousness and I gave Annie a call. We quickly worked out a schedule. Three days a week for me, the rest
for her.
Having wheels again was a huge help. Soon the car brought something more. Driving each other home
on the days we switched, Annie and I talked about everything.
She had plenty of worries. Besides her finances, her dad"s health was failing. However, she lifted my spirits!
She once said, "Life doesn"t always turn out the way I want, but I trust things will work out. And they do.
Just like this car!"
Annie and her family moved to Los Angeles. I still borrow the pontiac from her dad, who is healthy once
again. Now, whenever I drive the car, I think about Annie, and about how a simple exchange born of economic
need can become such a blessing. Like Annie says, life doesn"t always turn out the way we want. But that
doesn"t mean it doesn"t turn out good.
B. They both lacked love and care in life.
C. They had both been searching for a job.
D. They were both too poor to own a car.
B. Annie.
C. A bank teller.
D. Annie"s father.
B. she had many worries in her life
C. she had a positive attitude to life
D. she knew how to lift others" spirits

| Between the innocence of babyhood and the seriousness of manhood we find a delightful creature called a "boy" Boys are found everywhere-on top of, under, inside of, climbing on, swinging from, running around, or jumping to. Mothers spoil them, little girls hate them, older sisters and brothers love them, and God protects them. A boy is TRUTH with dirt on its face, BEAUTY with a cut on its finger, WISDOM with chocolate in its hair, and the HOPE of the future with a snake in its pocket. When you are busy, a boy is a trouble - maker and a noise. When you want him to make a good impression, his brain turns to jelly or else he becomes a wild creature bent on destroying the world and himself with it. A boy is a mixture-he has the stomach of a horse, the digestion (消化力) of stones and sand, the energy of an atomic bomb, the curiosity of a cat, the imagination of a superman, the shyness of a sweet girl, the brave nature of a bull, the violence of a firecracker, but when you ask him to make something, he has five thumbs (拇 指) on each hand. He likes ice cream, knives, saws, Christmas, comic books, woods, water (in its natural habitat), large animals, Dad, trains, Saturday mornings, and fire engines. He is not much for Sunday schools, company, schools, books without pictures, music lessons, neckties, barbers, girls, overcoats, adults, or bedtime. A boy is a magical creature-he is your headache but when you come home at night with only shattered pieces of your hopes and dreams, he can mend them like new with two magic words, "Hi, Dad!" | ||||||||||||||||
