A few months ago, I had the responsibility of delivering some donations (捐赠物) to the local City Mission, a place where the homeless, and often the injured can find shelter from a life that has been turned upside down for them.
It was late autumn, and already the promise of winter was whispering through the open windows of the Mission"s storage area.
After setting the donations near the sorting table, I said goodbye to the worker, and headed back through the dining area towards the door.
I was careful not to notice the people sitting at the tables, choosing to leave before feeling the guilt (罪过) of my " having", in the midst of so many who have nothing.
But it was not to be.
"Not yet," I heard a woman"s voice say. "Not till we pray (祈祷)."
I was behind them when the mother bowed her head and began one of the most heartfelt prayers I have ever heard, and I stopped where I was to look over at the table. A young mother was there with her two young boys, one about three years old on her left, the other, about five, on her right. Both were waiting, heads bowed, eyes closed.
My heart broke as I watched and listened. She was in a leg cast (腿上打着石膏), and scars (伤疤) covered her arms, her face and head.
One of the younger ladies working at the Mission had come to stand beside me, and she whispered, "She"s a single mom; her husband just took off one day and didn"t come back. She came here when their apartment caught fire. She was burned getting her kids out."
She started to say something else but stopped.
We were silent ... and the words this young mother said in our silence will always follow me, "... and thanks for the fruit on the ground, when I just can"t reach the tree."
54. By saying "Not yet", the woman probably wanted to______.
A. thank the author for sending the food B. ask her children to pray before eating
C. blame those who have too much D. pray for the happiness of her children
55. Why did the woman come to the City Mission?
A. Because her husband left her and her children.
B. Because she suffered from a serious disease.
C. Because her house caught fire suddenly.
D. Because she was out of work.
56. From the last paragraph, we can infer that the woman was ______.
A. happy to find the fallen fruit on the ground
B. regretful for not climbing the tree for the fruit
C. satisfied to pick up the fruit for her children
D. grateful very much for the help she received
If you think you are sick, you are sick no matter what 41 says. 42 , if you believe in your doctor, and if he tells that you are going to feel better, you probably will. The 43 of the mind on the body does exist and sometimes can be powerful. It exists whether one is 44 of it or not.
Take the 45 of Mrs. Green, for example. She was unable to get to sleep at night and was too tired during the day to do some simple things that she 46 enjoy doing. She had headaches more often which 47 her from reading or watching TV. The more she thought about her conditions, 48 she felt. At last she went to 49 her doctor, whom she had known for years. The doctor listened to her and gave her a very 50 examination. Then he said to her, “ There is nothing 51 wrong with you physically, but I accept the fact 52 you don’t feel well. I’m going to give you some pills that should help. I want you to 53 one after dinner and one half an hour 54 you go to bed tonight. Call me tomorrow and tell me 55 you feel.
56 Mrs. Green telephoned, “Doctor, I had the first 57 night’s sleep in two months. What is in this pills 58 ?” The doctor said, “It is an old formula（配方） I have 59 for years. Just 60 taking them for a week.” Turning to the nurse, he said, “It’s wonderful what a little baking soda（苏打） can do.”

The endless choice gives birth to anxiety in people’s lives. Buying something as basic as a coffee pot is not exactly simple. Easy access to a wide range of everyday goods leads to a sense of powerlessness in many people, ending in the shopper giving up and walking away, or just buying an unsuitable item(商品) that is not really wanted. Recent studies in England have shown that many electrical goods bought in almost every family are not really needed. More difficult decision-making is then either avoided or trusted into the hands of the professionals, lifestyle instructors, or advisors.
It is not just the availability of the goods that is the problem, but the speed with which new types of products come on the market. Advances in design and production help quicken the process. Products also need to have a short lifespan so that the public can be persuaded to replace them within a short time. The typical example is computers, which are almost out-of-date once they are bought. This indeed makes selection a problem. Gone are the days when one could just walk with ease into a shop and buy one thing; no choice, no anxiety.

t. But what are those differences?Hu Peng from Wuhan and four of his friends decided to find out. Earlier this month, they went to live for a week in Caidian, a village near Wuhan. Hu and his Junior l classmates went door to door in Caidian and asked kids lots of questions. They want to learn more about village kids" everyday lives, so they asked questions like this: Do your parents teach you how to do the housework? How much money do you usually spend on dinner? What would you do if a thief came into your house? They also asked 150 city kids t
he same questions.On April 12, the team gave a report to their class. They told about many differences between children"s lives in cities and those of children in villages. The biggest difference is about independence. Hu"s team found that 60 percent of city kids can"t do much housework, but 90 percent of village kids can care for themselves.
City kids told Hu they care about schoolwork a lot, and the
y have no time for washing clothes or making their beds. Village kids said they help their parents a lot : cooking, cleaning the houses and feeding pigs. Hu"s team also found that village kids have less pocket money. Many have never used computers. They like playing in rivers or on mountains. Some don"t even like to make new friends.Hu and his friends said their trip gave them more self- confidence (自信) because they have done something by themselves. But it also worried them a bit because they found they still have a lot to learn. "When we grow up, our parents can"t take care of us," Hu said. "We have to learn to take care of ourselves. " Shen Guanquan, one of Hu"s friends said, "When people learn to care for themselves, they learn to do lots of difficult things. "

Try the new Patricia Cornwell book, Scarpetta（Putnam）. She is such an able writer and handles complex forensic（法庭的） intelligence with ease. You need to be prepared, though, for the world you"re entering—this isn"t for the faint of heart, let"s say.
If peace is more your thing, try Mary Pipher"s wonderful new book, Seeking Peace: Chronicles of the Worst Buddhist in the World （Riverhead）. Mary is a lovely, comfortable writer who takes the reader through her personal awakening after reputation and fortune came her way. Even if you"ve never experienced life as a bestselling writer （as she has done, in her book years back, Reviving Ophelia）, you"ll totally understand and sympathize with her renewed need for privacy, distance and quiet.
What if you want a straightforward, totally thrilling read with vivid characters, set about World War II? You cannot go wrong with Jim Lehrer"s new novel, Oh, Johnny（Random House）, about a young Marine whose life is changed forever when he meets a woman on his way to war. His relationship with her lasts him through danger and hardship, and there"s an impressive ending. See our interview with the productive novelist/newsman in the current issue of Reader"s Digest （March, on stands now）, by the way, for insight into the very talented Mr. Lehrer and what interests him.
Well, what about something wickedly funny and totally offbeat? Does the name Carrie Fisher do anything for you? Try her vivid and new life in Hollywood and elsewhere, Wishful Drinking（Simon & Schuster）. Be prepared for humor as sharp as knives.
