A friend once told me a beautiful story of how ordinary people found a simple way to help others. My
friend was 1 the beautiful view on the top of Casper Mountain, a 2 place for visitors to overlook (俯视)
Casper, Wyoming. Even in the summer it was 3 on top of the mountain, and on this day he 4 a young
woman who clearly had no coat. She 5 as she wrapped (用……缠绕) her arms around herself.
Then he saw an older man 6 up to the young woman, take off his sweater and place it on her 7 .
The man said, "Here, keep the sweater. The 8 is even better when you"re warm." She smiled her 9 and
wrapped the warm sweater 10 her shoulders as the man went away.
Before the woman left, she found a middle-aged woman who was also 11 cold and she handed her the
sweater. " 12 it," she said. "The view is even better when you"re warm."
My friend was 13 in that, so he kept his eyes on the sweater. He noticed that before the current (现在
的) 14 of the sweater left, she came near to a trembling (颤抖的) man, 15 it to him and said, "Here...keep
the sweater. The view is 16 better when you"re warm."
"That happened a couple of years ago," my friend said. "And as far as I know, that 17 is still on top of
Casper Mountain, going from one person to another."
Ordinary people can find a way to 18 others. Great opportunities to help others seldom come, but small
ones 19 us daily. Like somebody else likes to say: Nobody can help everybody, 20 everybody can help
somebody! |

D. but | | 阅读理解。 | John was waiting for the girl whose heart he knew, but whose face he didn"t, the girl with the rose.
Thirteen months ago, in a Florida library he took a book off the shell and found himself interested in the
notes in the margin (页边). The soft handwriting showed a thoughtful soul and insightful (有洞察力的)
mind.
In front of the book, he discovered the name, Miss Hollis Maynell. With time and effort he got her
address. He wrote her a letter introducing himself and inviting her to keep in touch.
During the next year and one month the two grew to know each other through the mail. A romance
started. John requested a photograph, but she refused. She felt that if he really cared, it wouldn"t matter
what she looked like. Later they agreed on their first meeting-7:00 pm at Grand Central Station in New
York.
"You"ll recognize me," she wrote, "by the red rose I"ll be wearing my coat." So at 7:00 he was in the
station looking for the girl with the red rose.
A girl in a green suit was coming toward him, her figure long and slim and her eyes were blue as
flowers. Almost uncontrollably he came to her, and just at this moment he saw Hollis Maynell-a woman
well past 40. The girl was walking quickly away.
He did not hesitate (犹豫), saying, "I"m John, and you must"be Miss Maynell. I am so glad you could
meet me; may I take you to dinner?"
The woman smiled, "I don"t know what this is about, son," she answered, "but the young lady in the
green suit begged me to wear this rose on my coat. And she said if you were to ask me out to dinner, I
should tell you that she is waiting for you in the restaurant across the street. She said it was some kind
of test!" | | 1. Which of the following statements is TRUE? | | [ ] | A. John once met Miss Maynell somewhere before.

Jessica fell and disappeared. Jessica"s mother screamed and ran to her.
A well was in the yard of the center. The well was only eight inches across and a rock always covered it.

Jessica. When we reach her, we"ll bring her through the tunnel and up through our hole."
