I hadn’t even got a chance to enter the store before an African American woman approached me and asked if I would help her return an item. The item she has _____ was intended for her daughter, but she had already received a similar one. The lady _____ to exchange the item for something else in the store but she was told she needed an ID or the deal could not take place.
I went to the ____ with the woman so we could use my ID. The sales associate immediately started ______ her of asking the first random person she saw to help her. Although that was ___ , I didn’t understand why it mattered. After all, not everyone is given the opportunity to ____ an ID in this country.
Then, we asked to speak with a manager, who explained that there was no way to return the item without a receipt and then went on to say the woman could not ______ she purchased the item.
“If I , a young white female, were to enter the store and request you to make an exchange without a receipt, I would not be _____ the privilege--- as I have proof from the past.” I said. He must have realized at that moment what he had done, because he _____ to exchange the item.
There are many valuable lessons in the story. The first is to help a stranger in need. I hesitated when the woman asked for my help, but ______ in my hand I asked myself, “ Why not? What valid reasons do I usually have?” I had none, so I helped her.

试题分析：作者通过讲述在商店里帮助一位穷顾客的故事，说明了两个道理：第一，做人应该有一副热心肠；第二，人无论贫富，都是平等的，都应享受同等的权利和地位。
小题1:考查上下文连串。根据文章第三段中she purchased the item可知，她买的这件商品本来是为她女儿买的。故选A
小题2:动词辨析。因为女儿已经有了类似的东西，所以这位妇女想换一件另外的商品。want to do想要做某事。manage to do是“成功做了某事”的意思。故选B
小题3:考查名词辨析。A. counter柜台；B. department部门；C. market市场；D. window窗户。作者决定帮助这位妇女，于是和她一起走到商店的柜台处。故选A
小题4:上下文连串。根据全文语境可以看出，这位黑人妇女在商店受到了不公正的待遇，被拒绝调换商品。售货员看到她找到作者帮助，十分不礼貌地指责她不应该随便找个人来帮忙。故选D
小题5:形容词辨析。A. wrong错误的；B. true真的；C. reasonable合理的；D. meaningful有意义的。这位妇女并不认识作者，找到她属于随机行为。因此售货员的话符合事实。故选B
小题6:考查动词辨析。A. leave离开；B. pay付钱；C. find发现；D. obtain获得。毕竟不是所有的人都有机会获得ID卡的。故选D
小题7:考查动词辨析。A. answer回答；B. prove证明；C. support支持；D. admit承认。接着上面的话，经理顺水推舟说这位妇女不能证明该商品是在他这里买的。故选B
小题8:考查动词辨析。经理的这种无赖的行为激怒了作者，于是作者以自己的经历为例来进行反驳：如果我，一位白人女性，到这里要求换货，没有收据，照样我是不会被（你们）拒绝的。因为我有过去的经历为证。故选C
小题9:考查动词辨析。agreed同意；B. prepared准备；C. failed失败；D. remembered记得。从语境可知，经理意识到自己的言行失当，因此同意换商品。故选A
小题10:考查副词辨析。A. totally完全地；B. gradually渐渐地；C. hardly几乎不能；D. quickly很快地。但她很快地调整心态，扪心自问：“为什么不帮她，我有不帮她的正当理由吗？”故选D
小题11:考查上下文连串。从下文可知，这位妇女看起来非常穷。售货员和经理的无礼行为可能与此有关。作者想要表达的是，我们不应该以貌取人（不能通过书的封皮确定一本书的质量）。故选B
小题12:考查动词辨析。A. deserved值得；B. required要求；C. received获得；D. appreciated感激。 人虽然穷，但有资格和别人享受同等的待遇。故选A |

Making friends is a skill. Like most skills, it patience. If you want to meet people and make friends, you must be willing to some action. You must first go where there are people. You won’t make friends staying home .
Joining a club or group, talking to those who like the same things you do is much easier. Or join someone some activity.
Many people are when talking to new people. all, meeting strangers means seeing the unknown .And it’s human nature to feel a bit about the unknown. Most of fears about new people come from doubts about .We imagine other people are us——finding us too tall or too short, too this or too that. But don’t forget that they must be feeling the same way. Try to accept yourself you are, and try to put the other at ease. You’ll both feel more comfortable.
Try to act self-confident even you don’t feel that way when you a room full of strangers. Walk tall and straight, look at other people directly and .
If you see someone you’d like to , say something. Don’t wait for person to start a talk.
Just meeting someone does not mean that you’ll make friends with that person. is based on mutual(相互的) likings and “give and take”. It takes time to
friendship.

Happiness is for everyone. You don" t need to care about those people who have beautiful houses with large gardens and swimming pools or those who have nice cars and a lot of money and so on. Why? Because those who have big houses may often feel lonely and those who have cars may want to walk on the country roads at their free time.
In fact, happiness is always around you if you put your heart into it. When you are in trouble at school, your friends will help you; when you study hard at your lessons, your parents are always taking good care of your life and your health; when you get success, your friends will say congratulations to you; when you do something wrong, people around you will help you to correct it. And when you do something good to others, you will feel happy, too. All these are your happiness. If you notice a bit of them, you can see that happiness is always around you.
Happiness is not the same as money. It is a feeling of your heart. When you are poor, you can also say you are very happy, because you have something else that can" t be bought with money. When you meet with difficulties, you can say loudly you are very happy, because you have more chances to challenge yourself. So you cannot always say you are poor and you have bad luck. As the saying goes, life is like a revolving(旋转的)door. When it closes, it also opens. If you take every chance you get, you can be a happy and lucky person.

How many of us have heard that question, "Where was GOD when the World Trade Center(世贸中心) and the Pentagon(五角大楼) were attacked?" Well, I know where my GOD was the morning of September 11, 2001, and He was very busy!
He was trying to discourage anyone from taking these flights. Those four flights together held over 1000 passengers and there were only 266 aboard.
He was on 4 commercial flights giving frightened passengers the ability to stay calm. Not one of the family members who were called by a loved one on one of the hijacked(被劫持的) planes said that passengers were screaming in the background. On one of the flights he was giving strength to passengers to try to overtake the hijackers.
He was busy trying to create obstacles(阻碍) for employees at the World Trade Center. After all, only around 20,000 were at the towers when the first jet hit. Since the buildings held over 50,000 workers, this was a Miracle in itself. How many of the people who were employed at the World Trade Center told the media that they were late for work or they had traffic delays.
He was holding up 2-110 story buildings so that 2/3 of the workers could get out. I was so amazed that the top of the towers didn"t fall when the jets crashed. And when they did fall, GOD made them fall inward, as many more lives would have been lost.
So when anyone asks, "Where was your GOD on September 11," you can say "everywhere"! And yes, although this is without a doubt the worst thing I have seen in my life, I see God"s miracles in every bit of it. I can"t imagine going through such a difficult time and not believing in GOD – life would be hopeless. So shines a good deed in a weary world!

During the last fifteen years of my mother"s life she suffered with Alzheimer"s disease (老年痴呆). Until then she had been a bright, cheerful woman deeply interested and involved in the world around her. I would go home to visit her in Virginia and she would look at me in a puzzled way and ask, “Who are you?” I would answer, “I"m your son.” “Where do you live?” She would ask. “In California”, I would tell her. “Isn"t that interesting,” she would say, “I have a son in California.”
She seemed simply forgetful and confused at the beginning of the disease, but later on she would go through periods of intense anxiety. She would pace through the house she had lived in most of her life crying uneasily that she wanted to go home. Or she would leave home and wander away if she were unattended for a short time.
Hoping to please her and put her mind at ease I would take her for a drive, visiting sites where she had lived as a child. In the yard of the hillside house in Shipman I sat in the car and admired the view of the old oaks and long green lawn. I pictured my mother there was a little girl playing with the pet lamb she had been so fond of. I looked to her for some response. She shook her head and said, “I want to go home.”
Over the years I have decided that what my mother was calling home was not a place, but a time. I suspect it was a time when she was much younger, when her children were still underfoot, when her husband was still vigorous and attentive.
Watching my mother"s suffering set me wondering where I would have gone in mind if someday I couldn’t find home and wanted to go there. In this family we tend to be long-lived and we grow fuzzy (糊涂的) minded as the years go by. At eighty I have already noticed some alarming symptoms. My doctor says the forgetfulness is only natural and that it comes with age. Still the fear of Alzheimer"s is haunting there. Someday if and when I become even more cloudy minded than I am now, unable to drive and unable to tell you where "home" is, my dear son, I expect I will ask you to take me home, I know you will do your best to find the place I need to be. I leave these notes for your guidance.
