2．My wife and I have always been friendly with the clerks at the local convenience store．I don't think many people appreciate what a difficult job these folks have．They work for a little over minimum wage and I often wonder how they make ends meet．
One of the clerks，Charlie，was always wearing his glasses but he didn't one day．I asked him about it and he said they'd been out of order and that he couldn't afford a new pair．His family needed money．It was obvious that he was having a difficult time．
We wanted to help him，so we turned to our own eye doctor for assistance with a plan．We had his secretary contact him，asking him to come in for an eye exam for free．We told the doctor to let him order whatever glasses he wanted and that we would pay for them．Although Charlie questioned what was going on，the doctor just told him that someone had offered the money for his new glasses．When we went in to pay the bill，the doctor told us he was so touched by our idea that he waived the exam fee and only charged us for half the price of the glasses!
It was so wonderful to see Charlie in her new glasses and he enjoyed telling all the regular customers how the gift came about．I'm sure that upon hearing her story，ideas of kindness may have emerged in the minds of many．

24．Why didn't the clerk Charlie wear glasses one day？B
A．It was very warm and fine．
B．His old glasses were broken．
C．His glasses were missing．
D．He forgot to wear his glasses．
25．From the passage，we can infer thatC．
A．Charlie was a young man with skills
B．Charlie knew who paid the money for the new glasses
C．Charlie didn't support his family with enough money
D．Charlie entirely accepted the money for the new glasses
26．The underlined word"waived"in the third paragraph can be replaced byA．
A．gave up
B．took up
C．cut down
D．put off
27．Which of the following could be the best title for the passage？B
A．The Wonderful Feeling of Helping others
B．Customers'Gift to an Employee
C．A Friendly Clerk-Charlie
D．A New Pair of Glasses．

分析本文讲述的是我和我的妻子一直对当地便利店里的员工很友好．一天他发现一个一直带着眼镜的员工忽然不戴眼镜了．问了情况才知道，眼镜坏了，因为经济原因，不能配．于是作者主动帮助他配眼镜的故事．

解答 24．B 细节理解题．根据"I asked him about it and he said they'd been out of order and that he couldn't afford a new pair．"他的眼镜坏了．故选B．
25．C 推理判断题．由"I don't think many people appreciate what a difficult job these folks have．They work for a little over minimum wage and I often wonder how they make ends meet．"和"His family needed money．It was obvious that he was having a difficult time．"可推断出，答案C正确．
26．A 词义猜测题．根据"When we went in to pay the bill，the doctor told us he was so touched by our idea that he waived the exam fee and only charged us for half the price of the glasses!"可知，医生被我们的行为感动，他"放弃"收the exam fee，只收了眼镜的半价．故选A．
27．B 主旨大意题．因为本文主要讲述的是"我和妻子帮助当地便利店里的员工配眼镜的故事．"故选B．

点评做阅读理解题，要针对每一种题型，采用具体的解决方法．细节理解题，要针对问题在文中找信息句；推理判断题，要通读全文，才能推出正确答案；词义猜测题，要读划线单词或短语的上下句，猜测答案；主旨大意题，要细读全文，才能总结出答案．

1．It was Saturday．As always，it was a busy one，for"Six days shall you labor and all your work"was taken seriously back then．Outside，Father and Mr．Patrick next door were busy chopping firewood．Inside their own houses，Mother and Mrs．Patrick were engaged in spring cleaning．
Somehow the boys had slipped away to the back lot with their kites．Now，even at the risk of having Brother caught to beat carpets，they had sent him to the kitchen for more string（线）．It seemed there was no limit to the heights to which kites would fly today．
My mother looked at the sitting room，its furniture disordered for a thorough sweeping．Again she cast a look toward the window．"Come on，girls!Let's take string to the boys and watch them fly the kites a minute．"
On the way we met Mrs．Patric，laughing guiltily as if she were doing something wrong，together with her girls．
There never was such a day for flying kites!We played all our fresh string into the boys'kites and they went up higher and higher．We could hardly distinguish the orange-colored spots of the kites．Now and then we slowly pulled one kite back，watching it dancing up and down in the wind，and finally bringing it down to earth，just for the joy of sending it up again．
Even our fathers dropped their tools and joined us．Our mothers took their turn，laughing like schoolgirls．I think we were all beside ourselves．Parents forgot their duty and their dignity； children forgot their everyday fights and little jealousies．"Perhaps it's like this in the kingdom of heaven，"I thought confusedly．
It was growing dark before we all walked sleepily back to the housed．I suppose we had some sort of supper．I suppose there must have been surface tidying-up，for the house on Sunday looked clean and orderly enough．The strange thing was，we didn't mention that day afterward．I felt a little embarrassed．Surely none of the others had been as excited as I．I locked the memory up in that deepest part of me where we keep"the things that cannot be and yet they are．"
The years went on，then one day I was hurrying about my kitchen in a city apartment，trying to get some work out of the way while my three-year-old insistently cried her desire to"go park，see duck．"
"I can't go!"I said．"I have this and this to do，and when I'm through I'll be too tired to walk that far．"
My mother，who was visiting us，looked up from the peas she was shelling．"It's a wonderful day，"she offered，"really warm，yet there's a fine breeze．Do you remember that day we flew kites？"
I stopped in my dash between stove and sink．The locked door flew open and with it a rush of memories．"Come on，"I told my little girl．"You're right，it's too good a day to miss．"
Another decade passed．We were in the aftermath（余波） of a great war．All evening we had been asking our returned soldier，the youngest Patrick Boy，about his experiences as a prisoner of war．He had talked freely，but now for a long time he had been silent．What was he thinking of---what dark and horrible things？
"Say!"A smile sipped out from his lips．"Do you remember---no，of course you wouldn't．It probably didn't make the impression on you as it did on me．"
I hardly dared speak．"Remember what？"
"I used to think of that day a lot in POW camp （战俘营），when things weren't too good．Do you remember the day we flew the kites？"
