Question

He was struggling(费劲) to tie his shoes. I was struggling with whether I should help him. I did, and he was grateful.

???? “Thank you,” he said.

???? “I’m glad I could help. I just thought it would be easier for me to reach,” I said.

???? He was a disabled man, and forced to look down most of the time. His arms and legs were twisted(扭曲的) terribly, and he couldn’t do what the rest of us would consider easy tasks. He always managed to look up to see how you reacted(反应) to his words, however. He had a big smile, making me feel comfortable.

I was still on my knees by his wheelchair.

“ Nice shoes,” he said.

“Thanks. No one ever complimented (赞美) me on them before,” I said.

“No one has the same view of the world as I do,” he replied.

“Tell me about the world as you see it,” I said smiling.

“Most people can see if someone is comfortable with them or not in their eyes. I see it in their feet.” he said. “If people keep moving their feet, I just let them go, because I know they’re impatient with me. I don’t want to make people uncomfortable.

“What about me? I asked.

“I could see your compassion. And then you came down to my level. I was the one who was nervous.” he said. “I don’t normally have someone look me in the eye.”

“They don’t know what they’re missing,” I told him.

“My old face is nothing to brag(自夸) about.” he said.

“But that smile is so big.”

Yes, and it’s not only a big smile but an attitude.

试题分析：这篇短文主要介绍了我帮助了一个肢体极度扭曲的残疾人的故事。残疾人看一个人不是通过眼睛而是通过一个人的鞋子，因为没有多少人愿意看他们。但是他总是微笑。那不仅是微笑还是生活的态度。

1.细节理解题。根据文章“Most people can see if someone is comfortable with them or not in their eyes. I see it in their feet.”. 大多数人可以看到,有人与他们是否舒适是通过他们的眼睛。我明白它是通过他们的脚。故选C。

2.词义猜测题。根据“I could see your compassion. And then you came down to my level.描述我可以看看你的同情。你蹲下来和我处于同一水平。故选B

3.推理判断题。根据His arms and legs were twisted(扭曲的) terribly, and he couldn’t do what the rest of us would consider easy tasks.可知，他的肢体极度扭曲，他不能做我们常人认为简单的任务。故可推断他不能照顾自己。故选A

4.细节理解题。根据He had a big smile, making me feel comfortable.描述可知由于他脸上的微笑我感到舒服。故选D。

5.推理判断题。根据“I don’t normally have someone look me in the eye.”可知不是通常有人用眼睛在同一水平看我。故选B.
