完形填空。      Several years ago, while attending a communication course (课程), I experienced a most unusual process.
The instructor asked us to list (列清单)   1   in our past that we felt   2   of, regretted, or incomplete about and
read our lists aloud.
    This seemed like a very private (私下的) process,   3   there" s always some brave person in the crowd   4
will volunteer. The instructor then   5   that we find ways to   6   people, or take some action to right
any wrong doings. I was seriously wondering   7   this could ever make my communication better.
     Then the man next to me raised his hand and volunteered this story:"Making my   8 , I remembered an
incident from high school. I grew up in a small town. There was a Sheriff   9   of us kids liked. One night, my
two classmates and I  10  to play a trick (恶作剧) on him.
     After drinking a few beers, we climbed the tall water tank in the middle of the town, and wrote on the tank
in bright red paint: Sheriff Brown is a s.o.b.(畜生). The next day, almost the whole town saw our glorious  11 .
Within two hours, Sheriff Brown had us in his office. My friends told the truth but I lied. No one  12  found
out."
      "Nearly 20 years later, Sheriff Brown"s name  13  on my list. I didn"t even know if he was still  14 . Last
weekend, I dialed the information in my hometown and found there was a Roger Brown still listed. I tried his
number. After a few  15 , I heard,"Hello?" I said, "Sheriff Brown?" Paused. "Yes." "Well, this is Jimmy
Calkins."
      "And I want you to know that I did it?" Paused. "I knew it!" he yelled back. We had a good laugh and a
  16   discussion. His closing words were:"Jimmy, I always felt bad for you  17  your classmates got it off
their chest, but you were carrying it  18  all these years. I want to thank you for calling me...for your sake."
     Jimmy encouraged me to  19  all 101 items on my list within two years, and I always remember what I
learned from the course: It"s never too late to  20  the past wrongdoings.

      It was a winter morning, just a couple of weeks before Christmas 2005. While most people were warming
up their cars, Trevor, my husband, had to get up early to ride his bike four kilometers away from home to
work. On arrival, he parked his bike outside the back door as he usually does. After putting in 10 hours of
labor, he returned to find his bike gone.
      The bike, a black Kona 18 speed, was our only transport. Trevor used it to get to work, putting in 60-hour
weeks to support his young family. And the bike was also used to get groceries (食品杂货), saving us from
having to walk along long distances from where we live.
     I was so sad that someone would steal our bike that I wrote to the newspaper and told them our story.
Shortly after that, several people in our area offered to help. One wonderful stranger even bought a bike, then
called my husband to pick it up. Once again my husband had a way to get to and from his job. It really is an
honor that a complete stranger would go out of their way for someone they have never met before.
      People say that a smile can be passed from one person to another, but acts of kindness from strangers are
even more so. This experience has had a spreading effect in our lives because it strengthened our faith in
humanity (人性) as a whole. And it has influenced us to be more mindful of ways we, too, can share with
others. No matter how big or how small, an act of kindness shows that someone cares. And the results can
be everlasting.

1. Why was the bike so important to the couple?

[ ]

A. They used it for work and daily life.
B. It was their only possession (财产).
C. It was a nice Kona 18 speed.
D. The man"s job was bike racing.

2. We can infer from the passage that _____.

[ ]

A. the couple worked 60 hours a week
B. people were busy before Christmas
C. the stranger brought over the bike
D. life was hard for the young family

3. What do the couple learn from their experience?

[ ]

A. Strangers are usually of little help.
B. One should take care of their bike.
C. News reports make people famous.
D. An act of kindness can mean a lot.

4. From this story,we can see humanity is _____.

[ ]

A. selfish
B. commercial
C. kind
D. cold-hearted

      I was going hunting along the motorway the other day when there was a sudden bang and I almost fell
off my motorbike. It had a hole in the front tyre and it"s not easy to   1 a bike without any air in the tyre.
      I   2   stop without falling off luckily, but I still had the problem of what to do with the hole. A motorbike
isn"t like a car; you can"t just change a wheel and go on your way. Now, you have to take the wheel off, find
the hole, cover it with a piece of rubber, and then put the wheel back together again. Usually it costs you a lot
of time and you get very dirty. As I didn"t have any   3  , I set to work. It didn"t   4   long to get the wheel off
and it wasn"t hard to   5   the tyre from the wheel. The fun really began when I had to put the wheel back on
the bike. You have no   6   how easy it is to   7   small pieces of motorbike in the dark.
     In the   8   the bike was all together again but then I realized I hadn"t got a pump, so how was I going to
blow up the tyre? Fortunately, a   9   motorist saw me and pulled up. He lent me his pump and I was soon
ready to start off again. Next time I am in the motorbike shop I really must remember to buy myself a small
pump though I don"t know  10  I am going to carry it on the motorbike.

my house. Walking together, my father and I used to have a lot of conversations through which I learned
lessons from his experiences. He always told me, "You should have goals like climbing the mountain." Without
the mountain-climbing that we both enjoyed,we couldn"t have enough time to spend together because my
father was very busy. I really got a lot from mountain-climbing. It gave me time to talk with my father and
to be in deep thought as well as develop my patience (耐力).

you reach the top. Only there at the top, can you see all of the nice things, just like in life."
      At that time, I was too young to understand his words. But later after that, I got new hope and confidence.
