    Compassion is a desire within us to help others. 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. Poor and lonely.

    C. Friendly and helpful.

    D. Hurt and disappointed.

    3.The writer acted upon the store rules because _______.

    A. he wanted to keep his present job

    B. he felt no pity for the old gentleman

    C. he considered the old man dishonest

    D. he expected someone else to pay for the old man

    4.What does the writer learn from his experience?

    A. Wealth is more important than anything else.

    B. Helping others is easier said than done.

    C. Experience is better gained through practice.

    D. Obeying the rules means more than compassion.

    “Still don’t have a watch?”

    “Unbelievable,” he says, “How was this done?”

    A film in the information center shows sculptor Gutzon Borglum devoted 14 years to the sculpture and then left the final touches to his son.

    We stare up and I ask myself, would I ever devote my life to anything?

    The next day we’re at Yellowstone National Park, where we have a picnic.

    “Did you ever travel with your dad? I ask.

    Weeks after our trip, I call my father.

    “The photos from the trip are wonderful,” he says. “We have got to take another trip like that sometime.”

    I tell him I’ve learn decided to settle down, and I’m wearing a watch.

    Nowadays people are not so excited by parties and social gatherings. This is not because of having no desire to socialize, but because of smartphones.

    When they are gathering together, more people are on their smartphones than on their drinks. According to a recent International Data Corporation study, well over half of all Americans have a smartphone and reach for it the moment they wake up, keeping it in hand all day. In addition, too much of society is using smartphones while driving and as a result getting into car crashes. 34 percent of teens admit to text while driving, and they confirm that text messaging is their number one driving interruption. People's attachment to their smartphones is unbelievably becoming more important than the lives of themselves and others.

    Just as drivers ignore the importance of focusing while on the road, many people also fail to recognize the significance of human interaction. When with their friends, some people pointlessly check or send text messages in the presence of a friend, which sends a message to that friend: the person I am texting is more important than you. In addition, relying on our smartphone to make friends does not give us the same advantage as being able to make new friendships in the real world. Face-to-face conversations will give us much stronger communication skills in the long run.

    As many people risk their lives and the lives of people around them just to send a text or mindlessly check their messages, smartphones are in many ways more dangerous to people. The quality of this technology is de-advancing societal achievements and weakening the value of communication. Not only is the smartphone affecting our desire to interact (交流) face-to-face but it is also lowering society's ability to communicate.

    1.The purpose of this text is to ________.

    A. express a concern about the overuse of the smartphone

    B. call for an end to use the smartphone while driving

    C. appeal to us to pay attention to communication skills

    D. advise us to be cautious about the addiction to the smartphone

    2.The second paragraph is developed by ________.

    A. listing figures

    B. giving examples

    C. analyzing the effects

    D. comparing facts

    3.The author advocates us to make new friends ________.

    A. under a free circumstance

    B. by using smartphones

    C. in different ways

    D. in a face-to-face way

    4.Over dependence on the smartphone leads to the fact that ________.

    A. parties and gatherings limit their social circle

    B. people are more and more narrow-minded

    C. people's communication skills are weakened

    D. face-to-face communication becomes less important

    In Florida, one McDonald's customer started a pay-it-forward chain that inspired other 249 customers to be generous and do the same.

    ABC News reports the spirit of giving is in the air as 250 drive-thru (免下车服务) customers at a local McDonald's paid for the meals of the people next to them. Lakeland customer Torie Keene was paying for her food on Wednesday morning when she decided to pay for the meal of the car next to her.

    Keene then purposely told McDonald's cashier Marisabel Figueroa to greet the other customer "Merry Christmas" and not "Happy Holidays." The next customer was moved when Figueroa said her food was already paid by the previous car. That's when she thought that she would love to do the same and the domino effect followed.

    Figueroa, who worked from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. on Wednesday, said that the chain reaction almost lasted for her entire shift. "I just kept giving everyone the same message, and they were all so stunned and so happy," she continued. "One lady even paid for the meals of the next three cars behind her."

    While people were amazed by how generous they could get, Figueroa said she had "never experienced something like that before" in her 12 years of working for McDonald's. "I feel very blessed to have been a part of all that," the cashier said.

    Keene contacted Figueroa on Facebook when the pay-it-forward chain came out in the local news. She revealed that she was the "mystery customer" that started the long chain of kindness.

    Keene added that she was surprised by the number of people who continued her good deed when she was "only trying to brighten someone's day."

    1.Who started the pay-it-forward chain?

    A. Father Christmas.

    B. Marisabel Figueroa

    C. Manager of a McDonald's.

    D. Torie Keene from Lakeland.

    2.What're the drivers' reactions towards the generous behavior?

    A. Lucky and unbelievableB. Funny and surprised

    C. Amazed and moved.D. Ridiculous and happy

    3.For how long did the chain last?

    A. A week.B. A whole day.

    C. About twelve hours.D. About six hours.
