People are compassionate. With effort, we can translate compassion into action. An experience last weekend showed me this is true. I work part-time in a supermarket across from a building for the elderly. These old people are our main customers, and it’s not hard to lose patience over their slowness. But last Sunday, one aged gentleman appeared to teach me a valuable lesson. This untidy man walked up to my register (收款机) with a box of biscuits. He said he was out of cash, had just moved into his room, and had nothing in his cupboards. He asked if we could let him have the food on trust. He promised to repay me the next day.
I couldn’t help staring at him. I wondered what kind of person he had been ten or twenty years before, and what he would be like if luck had gone his way. I had a hurt in my heart for this kind of human soul, all alone in the world. I told him that I was sorry, but store rules didn’t allow me to do so. I felt stupid and unkind saying this, but I valued my job.
Just then, another man, standing behind the first, spoke up. If anything, he looked more pitiable. “Charge it to me,” was all he said.
What I had been feeling was pity. Pity is soft and safe and easy. Compassion, on the other hand, is caring in action. I thanked the second man but told him that was not allowed either. Then I reached into my pocket and paid for the biscuits myself. I reached into my pocket because these two men had reached into my heart and taught me compassion.
1.The aged gentleman who wanted to buy the biscuits _______.
A. promised to obey the store rules
B. forgot to take any money with him
C. hoped to have the food first and pay later
D. could not afford anything more expensive
2.Which of the following best describes the old gentleman?
A. kind and lucky B. friendly and helpful
C. poor and lonely D. hurt and disappointed
3.The writer acted upon the store rules because _______.
A. he expected someone else to pay for the old man
B. he felt no pity for the old gentleman
C. he considered the old man dishonest
D. he wanted to keep his present job
4.What does the writer learn from his experience?
A. Wealth is more important than anything else.
B. Obeying the rules means more than compassion.
C. Experience is better gained through practice.
D. Helping others is easier said than done.

As we all know, life is full of dreams and having a good dream is of great importance in our daily life. 1. a good dream, people can’t make progress and 2. (country) can’t develop. And I hold the strong belief 3. everyone, whether he is old or young, poor or rich, junior or senior, does have a good dream! After all, dreaming is certainly a positive part of our life, and 4._ (wish) for good things, however, costs nothing!
What’s more, it is important to fly our dreams, especially for those who are senior high school students. It is high time for them to fly their dreams. If they can’t let out dreams fly, the dream would just be a dream, not 5. ! (real)
Therefore, 6. is no wonder that so many people have a dream since their childhood. With a nice dream, China succeeded in 7. (host) the 29th Olympic Games in 2008; with a nice dream, Hong Kong 8. (return) to the motherland peacefully in 1997; with a nice dream, Yuan Long Ping rids the world 9. hunger.
So my good friends, if you want to realize your dream, please do not be afraid in face of difficulties or give up in face of failure or lose your dream in face of pains. You must keep going forward 10. (brave)! Just fly your dream highly above the sky!

On a rainy night three years ago my dear mom went to accompany her Lord. She did it her way.
I got the call at work, and l headed home quickly. Mom and Dad lived on a small farm that they had owned since I was seven. I hated going there every weekend. There was nothing for a young girl to do but watch the one station on the old TV set, if the weather allowed reception.
My mom, on the other hand, loved the peace and quiet of the land. The place was rural, with no indoor plumbing or heat. We had a big wood stove in the kitchen that did its best to heat the little farmhouse, but it always seemed cold and too quiet to me.
In the evenings, my mom and I would sit for hours singing in the little kitchen. I sang the melody and Mom harmonized. Her favorite song was “Moon River” and we sang it over and over. Mom told me stories about how when I was a little girl I could sing before I could talk.
As time passed, I had my own children and went to visit them every week or two. The kids loved the farm and the tractor rides with my dad. Me, well, I still hated the silence of the farm. While my mom loved to sit at her kitchen table and look out at her garden and flowers and retell all the old stories, I missed the hustle and bustle of my life at home. But I sat there listening quietly as she reminisced.
Now, I sat back in the silence and the silence was deathly so I finally leaned over to turn on an old radio. Music always comforted me. My heart skipped a beat. “Moon River” was playing on the radio. I sat there wordless, with a tear running down my cheek, as I listened to every familiar note.
1. From the first paragraph, we know that the writer’s mother ________.
A. passed away three years ago
B. left the small farm with Lord
C. left for Lord to live her own way
D. preferred to be with Lord
2. The underlined word “reminisced” in the last but one paragraph probably means ________.
A. recalled B. comforted
C. shouted D. sighed
3.The writer didn’t like staying on the farm for the following reasons EXCEPT that ________.
A. it was too cold and quiet
B. she could only sing one song on the small farm
C. there was nothing more that could make her excited
D. the place was rural, with no indoor plumbing or heat
4.Which of the following would be the best title for this passage?
A. Cherish Life B. My Happy Childhood
C. Our Small Farmhouse D. Mom’s Music
