I was driving around downtown one afternoon in the winter. I   1  a red light and stopped. As I was   2 , I saw a young guy standing on my left. He was   3  in the face and holding a cardboard sign with some   4  on it. When you’re in the heart of downtown, it’s pretty   5  to see homeless people asking for   6 . Generally, I would pass them, but this time when I glanced over the sign, I   7 
I can’t remember what the sign said exactly, but it was something like: “  8  money / food, have stomach cancer, homeless, anything helps.”
I didn’t know why, but for some   9  this particular sign struck me. The   10  had just turned green, and there was a line of lunch rush hour traffic behind me. I went back and forth in my    11  a hundred times in that next   12  about whether I should do something. “Should I help?  13  on? Should I do something?”
I didn’t. I did nothing.
The traffic moved  14 , and I went with it. About a block(街区)or two away, my heart had sunk simply for this guy. I felt so   15  for him. So, I decided to go back and ask him  16  I could buy him lunch and hear his story.
It took me about five minutes to   17  and back on to the same street where I had seen him. It was just five minutes — but he was   18 .
“Where did he go so fast?” I wondered. So, there was   19  left to do except drive on. 
If you get a special nudge(想做的事)from inside you,   20  consider acting on it. Don’t miss out — for yourself and for that other person.

Adrian’s “Amazing Race” started early when his parents realized that he, as a baby, couldn’t hear a thing, not even loud noises. In a special school for the hearing-impaired(听力受损的), he learned sign language and got to mix with other disabled children. However, the sight of all the disabled children communicating with one another upset his mother. She wanted him to lead a normal life. So after speaking to an advisor, she sent him to private classes where he learned to read lips and pronounce words.
Later on, Adrian’s parents decided to send him to a regular school. But the headmaster tried to prevent them from doing so, saying regular schools couldn’t take care of a special needs student. His parents were determined to take the risk and pushed him hard to go through his work every day because they wanted to prove that, given the opportunity, he could do anything. Adrian made the grade and got accepted. It was a big challenge. The pace (节奏) was faster so he had to sit at the front of the class and really pay attention to the teacher, which wasn’t always easy. But he stuck to it and did a lot of extra work after school.
The efforts made by Adrian and his parents paid off. Adrian graduated with good grades and got into a top high school. He also achieved a lot in life outside school. He developed a love for the outdoors and went to Nepal to climb mountains. He even entered the World Yacht Race 05/06—being the first hearing-impaired Asian to do so.
But none of these achievements would have been possible without one of the most important lessons from his mother. “If you believe in yourself and work hard, you can achieve great results,” she often said.

Prince Roman was a Polish nobleman, a captain in the army of Czar Nicholas of Russia. When his young wife died, the prince left the army and returned in sorrow to his native Poland.
In time, love for his country and its people took the place of his lost love. He joined a Polish rising against the Russians. The rising was crushed, and Prince Roman was taken prisoner. His relatives and friends begged the military court to have mercy on him.
The president of the court received these appeals kindly. He was a good Russian, but he was also a good-natured man. Russian hatred of Poles was not as fierce at that time as it became later; and the Russian felt sympathetic as soon as he saw the prince's thin, tired, sun-burnt face.
The court of three officers sat in a bare room, behind a long black table. Some clerks sat at the two ends, but no one else was there when the guards brought in the prince.
Those four walls shut out from Prince Roman all sights and sounds of freedom, all hopes of the future, all comforting thoughts. How much love for Poland remained in him then? How much love of life? He stood before his judges alone, having refused their permission to sit. He answered their first formal questions — his name and so on — clearly and politely although he felt too weary to talk.
Then the president of the court seemed to suggest how the young man could best help himself. He asked questions in a way that almost put the right answers in the prisoner's mouth.
“Didn't your wife's death drive you to despair? Wasn't your mind unbalanced by that sad event ?”
Prince Roman was silent.
"You were not fully responsible for you conduct, were you?"
Prince Roman was silent.
"You made a sudden blind decision to join the rising. You didn't realize that your actions were dangerous and dishonourable. Isn't that the truth of this unfortunate matter?"
The judges looked at the prisoner hopefully. In silence the prince reached for a pen and some paper. He wrote, "I joined the rising because I believe it was just." He pushed the paper towards the president, who took it and read it in silence.
Prince Roman was sentenced to hard work for life in the Siberian salt mines. It was a sentence of delayed death.
When Czar Nicholas read the report and sentence, he added in his own handwriting, "Make sure that this prisoner walks in chains every step of the way to Siberia."
小题1:What does the passage tell us of Poland at the time?
A.Polish officers in the Russian army had to return to Poland.
B.Russia was at war with Poland, so the Poles were enemies.
C.The Russians were very cruel rulers of Poland.
D.It was ruled by Russia, and Poles served in the Russian army.
小题2:How much love for Poland remained in the prince when he stood trial?
A.Not much, probably, after the failure of the rising.
B. More than he had ever felt before.
C.As much as he had ever felt.
D.The passage doesn't suggest an answer to the question.
小题3:The questions which the president asked show that ______.
A.he was trying to find excuse for the prince's conduct
B.the court wanted the prince to admit his own guilt
C.he wanted to learn the truth about the Polish rising
D.Prince Roman was a weak person
小题4:In the trial, Prince Roman ______.
A.was afraid to be responsible for his actions
B.blamed others for his actions
C.accepted responsibility for his actions
D.admitted his guilt
小题5:According to the passage, which of the following statements is true?
A.The judges were less sympathetic than Czar Nicholas.
B.Czar Nicholas was as kind as the judges.
C.Czar Nicholas was not as sympathetic as the judges.
D.The judges were as cruel as Czar Nicholas.
