When my parents were alive,they were not very rich.Yet they helped their two older time after time.When Daddy passed away,his notebook showed debts from several of his children.I was not among them.I borrowed money and when I did,I set a repayment plan and to it.It was a matter of with me.I couldn’t stand owing my parents-or anyone else-mmoney because I watched them to help out my older sisters when they were in financial difficulties themselves.
These days,after the death of my parents,I am one of those people who can be to for help when they need it.Just as I can’t stand other people money,I can’t stand saying no to whoever needs help.I don’t helping others,but I would be more than glad if they would make a(n) to handle things themselves,perhaps by doing some planning-like planning not to speend money they don’t have!
Being ready to help others is a ,but sometimes the result will be to what you expect.I remember as a child what my father always said, “If at first you don’t succeed,try,try again!” Helping my children too often has them from learning to keep trying.Use your :who among my children will to walk if I supply the money to buy a car? Helped often,my children lost gradually the ability to problems themselves.
In most ,when people find you can help,they will ask you more and more.That's human,you know.

解析试题分析:遇到问题应该自己努力想办法去解决,如果一个人总是在困难时候有人帮助,那么他或者她往往会养成一种依赖心理,从而失去自己解决问题的能力。在本文中作者通过回忆自己和父母对姐姐们的帮助向读者说明了这个道理。
【小题1】B名词辨析。A.儿子; B.女儿 ;C.兄弟;D.姐妹。根据第一段I was not among them和第一段末句I watched them 26 to help out my older sisters ….可以判断父母时不时的去帮助他们的女儿,也就是作者的姐姐,所以答案选B.
【小题2】C形容词辨析。A.缺席的 ; B.分开的;C.到期的; D.不同的。根据空前debts可知父母在本子上记录的是她们到期应缴的欠款,答案选C。
【小题3】B副词辨析。A.总是;B.几乎不 ;C.常常;D.从不。根据下文的讲述可知作者很少借钱,如果借钱了也要制定好偿还计划,答案选B。
【小题4】A动词辨析。A.卡住; B.贴上,附带; C.同意 D.属于。由前句I set a repayment plan可以判断作者制定好偿还计划后会始终坚持,stick to 坚持,其他不符合语境,答案选A。
【小题5】C名词辨析。A.快乐; B.勇气 ;C.骄傲 ;D.难过。通过和上文作者姐姐的对比可知作者很少会陷入债务中,也从来不会因为债务问题而拖累父母,所以在作者看来这是值得骄傲的事情,选C。
【小题6】A动词辨析。A.斗争,奋斗;B.发生; C.打算;D.移动。根据上下文可知父母在自己也存在经济问题时还要努力去帮孩子还债,所以A选项正确。
【小题7】B动词辨析。A.提及,参考; B.转向 ;C.看见; D.参加,照顾。从上下文可知作者自己很少陷入财政问题,所以父母去世后,姐姐们会找他帮忙,turn to sb for help“找人求助”,答案选B。
【小题8】D动词辨析。A.欺骗; B.捐赠;C.借出;D.欠。根据第一段内容I couldn’t stand owing my parents-or anyone else-money可知作者不愿意欠别人钱,故答案选D。
【小题9】B动词辨析。A.享受;B.介意; C.喜欢 ;D.想念。根据前句I can’t stand saying no to whoever needs help.可知作者愿意帮助别人,所以选B。句意:我不介意帮助别人,但是……
【小题10】D名词辨析。A.评论 ; B.混乱 ;C.借口; D.努力。根据上下文可知虽然作者不介意帮助姐姐们,但是还是希望她们自己能处理好财务问题,固定短语:make an effort to do sth“努力去做”,答案选D。
【小题11】A形容词辨析。A.财政的,金融的 ; B.灵活的; C.典型的; D.尤其。根据上文以及破折号后面like planning not to spend money they don’t have可以判断作者指的是在钱方面的问题,故A选项正确。
【小题12】C名词辨析。A.美德,品德; B.交易; C.美德;D.任务。从情理可知帮助别人是一种美德,答案选A。
【小题13】A形容词辨析。A.相反的; B.基本的;C.潜在的D.必要的。前句说帮助别人是美德,但是作者话锋一转,由此判断帮助别人的结果可能不是想象的那样,be contrary to “与……相反”,答案选A。
【小题14】A动词辨析。A.能 B.可以 C.应该 D.必须。根据语境可知此处强调还记得的、能够想起的事情,所以选A。
【小题15】C动词辨析。A禁止;B.保护; C.阻止; D.释放。如果一个人不成功,要不断地去努力,但是别人过多的帮助会让他们不再去努力,从而滋养了他们的惰性,由此可知答案选C,prevent sb from doing sth “阻止某人做某事”,其他不符合语境。
【小题16】D名词辨析。A.胳膊 B.腿; C.身体D.头。根据冒号后面的话可知此处是作者想到的事情,固定短语“use one’s head “动脑筋,”答案选D。
【小题17】D动词辨析。A.等待 B.催促,敦促; C.威胁; D.选择。根据上下文内容可以判断作者认为给予一个人太多的帮助会助长人的懒惰,由此判断作者借用“有人给钱买车谁还会走呢”来说明这个道理,wait to do sth “等着做某事”答案选A,。
【小题18】A动词辨析。A.解决; B.评定,评估; C.寻找; D分析。由上文判断一个人如果遇到问题总是等着别人帮助解决,从而自己就会失去解决问题的能力,答案选A。
【小题19】C名词辨析。A.事务; B.选择; C.案例,情况 D.事件。由语境可知此处指一种普遍存在的情况,固定短语:in most case“在大多数情况下”,答案选C。
【小题20】C动词辨析。A.获得; B.获得,得到; C.提供; D.更喜欢。从上文内容可知此处是作者针对姐姐们的问题发表看法,所以此处指提供帮助,句意:在大多数情况下,如果人们发现你能提供帮助,那么他们会对你要求越来越多。

The moved slowly and at one point while I was pulling the car forward, the sad woman behind me my car. I could tell this her. The entire time that I waited in line for my coffee this woman didn’t .
Looking back at her I could tell she was wondering “Why me? Why today?” When I up and paid for my coffee I requested that the barista(咖啡吧员) of Starbucks give the woman behind me a smile card and paid for her coffee.
Just 30 minutes later I was again in line at Starbucks. I heard a slam of a car door but thought nothing of it. I was when the same woman came up to my driver’s side window. She me a twenty-dollar bill and the same smile card I had given to her. She smiled and said, “These are for you. You are the one who gave these to me , right? All I need you to do is ask the barista to give the back to me.” It was amazing! It was as if this woman had been waiting to show her for what I had done!
When she got back into her today she was all smiles. I could tell she had the same feeling as I had on that early Sunday morning. It was nice to have my coffee paid for, but what made me feel even better was seeing the happiness and smile on her face.
As I pulled out of the drive-thru, she waved and yelled out, “Have a day!” I yelled back “You too!” and waved her goodbye.
