I volunteer with Meals on Wheels every Friday. A week ago, I had the pleasure of helping one of my customers (顾客). She is over eighty years old and is very weak and I always bring her lunch on Fridays. She looked worried when she opened the door that day. She told me her phone was broken and that she couldn’t receive the calls from her doctor. She went to her neighbors, but they weren't at home. She thought the postman might help her, but he didn't come. She was disappointed(失望的).

Hearing her story, I decided to do something for her. I tried to exceed the needs of the old woman who only needed a helping hand. I called the phone company (公司) at once and made sure they knew that getting this phone fixed was needed right away. I wrote down her phone number and her name just to make sure I could call her later to make sure that the phone had been all right.

I called the phone company twice that day. They told me they had checked the phone line and made the phone work well. The old woman was so thankful that she was in tears, hugging me for my help. After that, I called her every day to make sure she was all right.

Just being able to help her in her time of danger filled my heart with such love and happiness. It doesn’t take much time or effort to help someone like a neighbor. Sometimes, what people need is just a smile, a hug or a phone call.

【解析】

本文主要讲述了作者在餐厅做志愿者，一周前帮助了一位80多岁的老妇人，她很感动，作者很开心。

【1】细节理解题。根据第一段中“She told me her phone was broken and that she couldn’t receive the calls from her doctor.”可知，这位妇女的电话坏掉了。故选C。

【2】词义猜测题。根据下文中“who only needed a helping hand”和“I called the phone company (公司) at once and made sure they knew that getting this phone fixed was needed right away. I wrote down her phone number and her name just to make sure I could call her later to make sure that the phone had been all right.”可知，作者不仅给电话公司打电话而且写下了这位老妇人的名字和电话号码，以便给她打电话确定她的电话没有问题，而这位老妇人电话坏了，她只是想找人帮忙，而作者所做的这一切远远超出了这位老妇人的需求，所以此处exceed的意思是超出。故选B。

【3】细节理解题。根据第三段中“After that, I called her every day to make sure she was all right.”可知，作者给这位老妇人每天打电话，是因为作者想确定这位老妇人一切都好。故选A。

【4】细节理解题。根据第一段中“She is over eighty years old and is very weak and I always bring her lunch on Fridays.”可知，作者总是在周五给这位老妇人带午餐，所以这位老妇人总是在周五订午餐。故选C。

【5】细节理解题。根据最后一段中“It doesn’t take much time or effort to help someone like a neighbor. Sometimes, what people need is just a smile, a hug or a phone call.”可知，作者认为帮助像邻居这样的人，不需要花费太多时间和精力。有时候，人们需要的只是一个微笑，一个拥抱或者一个电话，此处作者想告诉我们应该善待那些有需要的人们。故选C。
