One Friday, 12-year-old Janet was walking out with her friend Amy. They 2 go by Dawson"s house, but as they got close Janet saw him 3 on his front porch (门廊) and suggested they cross over the street. Like most, she was 4 of the old man. Amy said not to worry. When they got close enough, Dawson looked up with his usual frown, 5 when he saw it was Amy, he gave a(n) 6 smile. Amy smiled back and told him Janet was 7 overnight with her to listen to music and play games. Dawson told them that sounded fun, and gave them each a(n) 8 . Later, Janet asked Amy:"Everyone says he"s the meanest man in town. 9 he was so nice to us?" Amy explained that when she 10 started walking past his house he wasn"t very friendly, but she pretended he was wearing a(n) 11 smile and so she always smiled. It took a while, but one day he half-smiled 12 . After a while, he started smiling real smiles and then talked to her. She said he always 14 her an apple now, and is always very kind. "An invisible smile?" questioned Janet. "Yes," answered Amy, "My grandma told me that if I pretended I wasn"t 14 and pretended he was smiling an invisible smile at me and I smiled back at him, 15 he would really smile." If we remember that 16 wears an invisible smile, we too will find that most people can"t 17 our sunniness after a while. We"re always on the go trying to 18 so much, aren"t we? It"s so easy to get caught up in everyday life that we forget how easily we can bring 19 to ourselves and others.

Who would have guessed that a website would help repay a 20-year-old loan? I"ll always remember my last day at school. My best friend, Jenny, had organized a party in the Sixth Form Common Room. Jenny asked me to go to the supermarket with her to buy all the snacks. "I"m really looking forward to this party, Stingy (小气)," she said. Everyone called me Stingy instead of Debbie because they thought I didn"t like to spend money. Actually, it was true. "There"s lots of money in the kitty. Let"s go crazy!" Going crazy meant buying enough snacks to feed an army. It came to£19.90, which was a lot of money in 1982. Jenny gave me a guilty look. "I"ve left the kitty money in the common room. Can you pay and I"ll give you back the money?" "Sure," I replied, trying to look relaxed." Neither a lender nor a borrower be" was my motto but I didn"t want to look stingy. I gave £20 to the impatient shop assistant. Well, the party was a great success-so great that I completely forgot about my loan until I was flying to America the next day. I was going to live with my uncle"s family until I started university. I tried to get in touch with Jenny but her family had moved. My £20 was lost. Until… I"d heard about a website called Friends Reunited which helped people contact old school friends. My husband helped me log on and find my school. There she was, Jenny Frost. "I"m now married, with a beautiful daughter called Debbie. Does anyone know how to get in touch with Debbie "Stingy" Jones? I still owe her £20!" We met two months later and the £20 was returned, plus interest of course. After all, I"m a bank manager now, so loans are my business. | 1.

One night I went to pick up a passenger at 2:30 a.m.. When I arrived to collect, I found the building was dark except for a single light in a ground floor window. I walked to the door and knocked, "Just a minute," answered a weak, elderly voice. After a long pause, the door opened. A small woman in her eighties stood before me. By her side was a small suitcase. I took the suitcase to the car, and then returned to help the woman. She took my arm and we walked slowly toward the car. She kept thanking me for my kindness. "It"s nothing," I told her. "I just try to treat my passengers the way I would want my mother treated." "Oh, you"re such a good man." She said. When we got into the taxi, she gave me an address, and then asked, "Could you drive through downtown?" "It"s not the shortest way," I answered quickly. "Oh, I"m in no hurry," she said. "I"m on my way to a hospice (临终医院). I don"t have any family left. The doctor says I don"t have very long." I quietly reached over and shut off the meter (计价器). For the next two hours, we drove through the city. She showed me the building where she had once worked, the neighborhood where she had lived, and the furniture shop that had once been a ballroom where she had gone dancing as a girl. Sometimes she"d ask me to slow down in front of a particular building and would sit staring into the darkness, saying nothing. At dawn, she suddenly said, "I"m tired. Let"s go now." We drove in silence to the address she had given me. "How much do I owe you?" she asked. "Nothing." I said. "You have to make a living," she answered. "Oh, there are other passengers," I answered. Almost without thinking, I bent and gave her a hug. She held onto me tightly. Our hug ended with her remark, "You gave an old woman a little moment of joy." | 1. The old woman chose to ride through the city in order to _____. | [ ] | A. show she was familiar with the city B. see some places for the last time C. let the driver earn more money D. reach the destination on time | 2. The taxi driver did not charge the old woman because he _____. | [ ] | A. wanted to do her a favor B. shut off the meter by mistake C. had received her payment in advance D. was in a hurry to take other passengers | 3. What can we learn from the story? | [ ] | A. Giving is always a pleasure. B. People should respect each other. C. An act of kindness can bring people great joy. D. People should learn to appreciate others" concern. |
