The poverty(贫困) was 27 than anything my young companions had ever imagined. Back in the hotel, an air of sadness settled over the group. Many 28 and cried. Spending time in this 29 moves a person to care about humanity.

举一反三
I was in a rush as always, but this time it was for an important date I just couldn’t be late for! I found myself at a checkout counter behind an elderly woman seemingly in no hurry as she paid for her groceries. A PhD student with not a lot of money, I had hurried into the store to pick up some flowers. I was in a huge rush, thinking of my upcoming evening. I did not want to be late for this date.
We were in Boston, a place not always known for small conversation between strangers. The woman stopped unloading her basket and looked up at me. She smiled. It was a nice smile –warm and reassuring—and I returned her gift by smiling back.
“Must be a special lady, whoever it is that will be getting those beautiful flowers,” she said.
“Yes, she’s special,” I said, and then to my embarrassment, the words kept coming out.
“It’s only our second date, but somehow I am just having the feeling she’s ‘the one’. Jokingly, I added, “The only problem is that I can’t figure out why she’d want to date a guy like me.”
“Well, I think she’s very lucky to have a boyfriend who brings her such lovely flowers and who is obviously in love with her,” the woman said.” “My husband used to bring me flowers every week –even when times were tough and we didn’t have much money. Those were incredible days; he was very romantic and – of course – I miss him since he’s passed away.”
I paid for my flowers as she was gathering up her groceries. There was no doubt in my mind as I walked up to her. I touched her on the shoulder and said, “You were right, you know. These flowers are indeed for a very special lady.” I handed her the flowers and thanked her for such a nice conversation.
It took her a moment to realize that I was giving her the flowers I had just purchased. “You have a wonderful evening,” I said. I left her with a big smile and my heart warmed as I saw her smelling the beautiful flowers.
I remember being slightly late for my date that night and telling my girlfriend the above story. A couple of years later, when I finally worked up the courage to ask her to marry me, she told me that this story had helped to seal it for her –that was the night that I won her heart.
小题1:Why was the writer in a hurry that day?| A．He was to meet his girlfriend. | B．He had to go back to school soon. | | C．He was delayed by an elderly lady. | D．He had to pick up some groceries. |
小题2:What does the underlined phrase “her gift”(Paragraph 2) refer to?| A．Her words. | B．Her smile. | C．Her flowers. | D．her politeness. |
小题3:Why did the writer give his flowers to the elderly lady?| A．She told him a nice story. | B．She allowed him to pay first. | | C．She gave him encouragement. | D．She liked flowers very much. |
小题4:What is the message conveyed in the story?| A．Flowers are important for a date. | B．Small talk is helpful. | | C．Love and kindness are rewarding. | D．Elderly people deserve respecting. |

I recently turned fifty,which is young for a tree,midlife for an elephant,and ancient for a sportsman.Fifty is a nice number for the states in the US or for a national speed limit,but it is not a number that I was prepared to have hung on me.Fifty is supposed to be my father’s age,but now I am stuck with this number and everything it means.
A few days ago,a friend tried to cheer me up by saying,“Fifty is what forty used to be.”He had made an inspirational point.Am I over the hill?People keep telling me that the hill has been moved,and I keep telling them that the high-jump bar has dropped from the six feet I once easily cleared to the four feet that is impossible for me now.
“You’re not getting older,you’re getting better,”says Dr.Joyce Brothers.This,however,is the kind of doctor who inspires a second opinion.
And so,as I approach the day when I cannot even jump over the tennis net,I am moved to share some thoughts on aging with you.I am moved to show how aging feels to me physically and mentally.Getting older,of course,is obviously a better change than the one that brings you eulogies(悼词).In fact,a poet named Robert Browning considered it the best change of all:
Grow old along with me!
The best is yet to be.
Whether or not Browning was right,most of my first fifty years have been golden ones,so I will settle for what is ahead being as good as what has gone by.I find myself moving toward what is ahead with a curious blend(混合)of both fighting and accepting my aging,hoping that the philosopher(哲学家)was right when he said.“Old is always fifteen years from now.”
小题1:The author seems to tell us in Paragraph 1 that .| A．time alone will tell | | B．time goes by quickly | | C．time will show what is right | | D．time makes one forget the past |
小题2:When the author turned fifty,people around him .| A．tried to comfort him | | B．got inspirations from him | | C．were friendlier with him | | D．found him more talkative |
小题3:The author considers his fifty years of life .| A．peaceful | B．ordinary | C．satisfactory | D．regretful |
小题4:We can infer from the passage that .| A．the old should lead a simple life | | B．the old should face the fact of aging | | C．the old should take more exercise | | D．the old should fill themselves with curiosity |

All her life,my mother wanted busy children.It was very important that her house should remain at all times clean and tidy.
You could turn your back for a moment in my mother’s house,leave a half-written letter on the dining room table,a magazine open on the chair,and turn around to find that my mother had “put it back where it belonged,”as she explained.
My wife,one of her first visits to my mother’s house,placed a packet of biscuits on an end table and went to the kitchen to fetch a drink.When she returned,she found the packet had been removed.Confused(疑惑的),she set down her drink and went back to the kitchen for more biscuits,only to return to find that her drink had disappeared.Up to then she had guessed that everyone in my family held onto their drinks,so as not to make water rings on the end tables.Now she knows better.
These disappearances had a confusing effect on our family.We were all inclined to(有……的倾向) forgetfulness,and it was common for one of us,upon returning from the bathroom,to find that every sign of his work in progress had disappeared suddenly.“Do you remember what I was doing?”was a question frequently asked,but rarely answered.
Now my sister has developed a second-hand love of clean windows,and my brother does the cleaning in his house,perhaps to avoid having to be the one to lift his feet.I try not to think about it too much,but I have at this later time started to dust the furniture once a week.
We have all become busy persons.
小题1:Which of the following is TRUE about my mother?| A．She enjoyed removing others’ drinks. | | B．She became more and more forgetful. | | C．She preferred to do everything by herself. | | D．She wanted to keep her house in good order. |
小题2:My wife could not find her biscuits and drink in my mother’s house because _______.| A．she had already finished them | | B．my mother had taken them away | | C．she forgot where she had left them | | D．someone in my family was holding them |
小题3:The underlined part in the fifth paragraph suggests that my sister _______.| A．is happy to clean windows | | B．loves to clean used windows | | C．is fond of clean used windows | | D．likes clean windows as my mother did |
小题4:This passage mainly tells us that _______.| A．my mother often made us confused | | B．my family members had a poor memory | | C．my mother helped us to form a good habit | | D．my wife was surprised when she visited my mother |
