Night after night, as was often the case, she’d lean down and push my long hair out of the 36 ,then kiss my forehead.
I don’t remember when it first started 37 me. But it did. Finally one night, I shouted out as her, “Don’t do that any more – your hands are too 38 ！” She didn’t say anything in reply. But never again did my mother 39 my day with that familiar 40 of her love.
With the years passing, my thoughts 41 to that night, when I missed my mother’s hands, missed her goodnight 42 on my forehead. Sometimes the incident seemed very 43 , while sometimes far away. But always it was hidden in the back of my 44 . Now Mom is in her seventies, and those hands that I 45 thought to be so rough are still doing things for me and my 46 . And now my own children are grown and gone. One Thanksgiving Eve, 47 I slept in the bedroom of my youth, a 48 hand hesitantly run across my face to 49 the hair from my forehead. Then a kiss, ever so 50 , touched my brow.
In my memory, for the thousandth time, I recalled the night and my young voice 51 . “Don’t do that any more – your hands are too rough!” 52 , I caught Mom’s hand in hand, saying how 53 I was for that night. I thought she’d remember, as I did. But Mom didn’t know 54 I was talking about. She had forgotten, and forgiven long ago.
That night, I fell asleep with a new 55 for my gentle mother and her caring hands. And the guilt that I had carried around for so long was nowhere to be found.

Some time ago I discovered that one of my chairs had a broken leg. I didn’t think there would be any difficulty in getting it mended, as there are a lot of antique(古董) shops near my home. So I left home one morning carrying the chair with me. I went into the first shop expecting a friendly reception (接待). I was quite wrong. The man wouldn’t even look at my chair.
The second shop, though slightly more polite, was just the same, and the third and the fourth－so I decided that my approach must be wrong.
I entered the fifth shop with a plan in my mind. I placed the chair on the floor and said to the shopkeeper, "Would you like to buy a chair?" He looked it over carefully and said, "Yes, not a bad chair. How much do you want for it, sir?" "Twenty pounds," I said. "OK," he said, "I’ll give you twenty pounds." "It’s got a slightly broken leg," I said. "Yes, I saw that, it’s nothing."
Everything was going according to plan and I was getting excited. "What will you do with it?" I asked. "Oh, it will be easy to sell once the repair is done." "I’ll buy it," I said. "What do you mean? You’ve just sold it to me," he said. "Yes, I know but I’ve changed my mind. I am sorry. I’ll give you twenty-seven pounds for it." "You must be crazy," he said. Then, suddenly the penny dropped. "I know what you want. You want me to repair your chair." "You’re right," I said. "And what would you have done if I had walked in and said, ’ Would you mend this chair for me?’ "I wouldn’t have agreed to do it," he said. "We don’t do repairs, not enough money in it and too much trouble. But I’ll mend this for you, shall we say for five pounds?" He was a very nice man and was greatly amused (感到有趣) by the whole thing.
小题1:We can learn from the text that in the first shop the writer ________. | A．was rather impolite | B．was warmly received | | C．asked the shopkeeper to buy his chair | D．asked the shopkeeper to repair his chair |
小题2:The underlined word "approach" in the second paragraph means ________. | A．plan for dealing with things | B．decision to sell things | | C．idea of repairing things | D．way of doing things |
小题3:The expression "the penny dropped" in the last paragraph means the shopkeeper ________.| A．changed his mind | B．accepted the offer | | C．saw the writer’s purpose | D．decided to help the writer |
小题4: How much did the writer pay? 小题5:From the text, we can learn that the writer was _________.| A．honest | B．careful | C．smart | D．funny |

I will never forget the year I was about twelve years old. My mother told us that we would not be 36 Christmas gifts because there was not enough money. I felt sad and thought, "What would I say when the other kids asked what I’d 37 ?" Just when I started to 38 that there would not be a Christmas that year, three women 39 at our house with gifts for all of us. For me they brought a doll. I felt such a sense of 40 that I would no longer have to be embarrassed when I returned to school. I wasn’t 41. Somebody had thought 42 of me to bring me a gift.
Years later, when I stood in the kitchen of my new house, thinking how I wanted to make my 43 Christmas there special and memorable, I 44 remembered the women’s visit. I decided that I wanted to create that same feeling of 45 for as many children as I could possibly reach.
So I 46 a plan and gathered forty people from my company to help. We gathered about 125 orphans (孤儿) at the Christmas party. For every child, we wrapped colorful packages filled with toys, clothes, and school supplies, 47 with a child’s name. We wanted all of them to know they were 48 . Before I called out their names and handed them their gifts, I 49 them that they couldn’t open their presents 50 every child had come forward. Finally the 51 they had been waiting for came as I called out, "One, two, three. Open your presents!" As the children opened their packages, their faces beamed and their bright smiles 52 up the room. The 53 in the room was obvious, and 54 wasn’’t just about toys. It was a feeling — the feeling I knew 55 that Christmas so long ago when the women came to visit. I wasn’t forgotten. Somebody thought of me. I matter.

Wings of Angel
I used to hate myself because I wasn’t “normal”. Everyone else could play on the monkey bars and ride on a bicycle, but not 36 . I had a severe spinal cord disorder (脊髓病) and I knew I would always be much 37 than others.
I hated going to school and I hated people 38 at me. I hated seeing others smiling broadly and standing straight and tall. And most of all, I hated looking in the 39 and seeing an ugly hunchback (驼背).
My friends found me 40 because I didn’t let others get close to me. I thought I was going to go on like this for the rest of my life 41 Angela appeared.
That afternoon, I was sitting by myself in a corner of the school — a spot where no one would 42 me. That’s when I first heard her voice.
“Hi. Can I sit down?”
I raised my head and there she was, with an irresistible smile on her round face.
“What are you looking at?” she asked.
“Ants.”
“What are they doing?”
“No idea.”
“I bet they’re playing games and making friends. Don’t you think so?”
That was how our 43 started and it didn’t stop. We talked about everything under the sun—the ants, the clouds, my little niche (处境) — until it was sunset.
Then suddenly, she saw my 44 . She just stared.
My heart sank. What I feared most had happened and I knew for sure she would 45 me now.
She stood up, pointed at my back and said, “I know 46 your back is hunched.”
I closed my eyes like a criminal waiting to be sentenced. I begged in my heart for her to 47 , but she just kept on going. “I know what you’ve got in there. Do you?”
“No,” I answered 48 .
She bent and whispered in my ears.
“Your back is hunched because you’ve got a pair of wings from the angels.”
I was 49 . I looked into her eyes and her kindness touched my heart. From that day on, I started to learn to 50 myself because I have the wings of an angel and a kind-hearted friend.
