While I was waiting outside my wife’s office building for her to get out of work, I saw a beggar coming my way from across the parking lot.

“I hope he doesn’t ask me for any money,” I thought.

He didn’t.He came and sat in front of the bus stop, but he didn’t look like he could have enough money to ride the bus. After a few minutes he spoke. “That’s a pretty car,” he said, pointing to my car. He was ragged (衣衫褴褛), but he had an air of dignity(尊严) about himself.

I gave him a smile and continued cleaning my car.

He sat there quietly as I worked. The expected asking for money never came. As the silence between us widened, it seemed that a voice inside me said, “Ask him if he needs any help.”

“Do you need any help?” I asked.

He answered in three simple but meaningful words that I shall never forget. We often look for wisdom in great men and women, and we expect it from those of higher learning and achievements. I expected nothing but a dirty hand from him, but he said three words that shook me.

“Don’t we all?” he said.

I was feeling high, successful and important above a beggar in the street, until those three words hit me like a shot.

Don’t we all?

I needed help. Maybe not for a bus fare or for a place to sleep, but I needed help. I reached in my wallet and gave him not only for a bus fare, but enough to get a warm meal and shelter for the day. Those three little words still ring true. No matter how much you have, no matter how much you have achieved, you need help, too. No matter how little you have, no matter how loaded you are with problems, even without money or a place to sleep, you can give help.

53. The story happened _________.

A. outside an office building     B. in front of a store

C. near a post office            D. on a bus

54. Which of the following is NOT TRUE?

A. The writer was waiting for his wife to get out of work.

B. He thought the beggar would ask him for money.

C. The beggar kept silent and didn’t ask him for money.

D. The writer was shocked by the three simple words.

55. “I was feeling high, successful and important above a beggar in the street.”means__________.

A. I thought I was better in any way than the beggar

B. I felt the beggar is as good in some ways as I am

C. I felt I liked the beggar very much

D. I thought U should respect the beggar

56. The best title of the passage is _________.

A. The Story of a Beggar              B. Everyone Needs Help

C. Life as a beggar                   D. A kind behavior

  Recently a Beijing father sent in a question at an Internet forum asking what“PK”meant.

  “My family has been watching the Super Girl singing competition TV program.My little daughter asked me what PK means, but I had no idea,”explained the puzzled father.

  To a lot of Chinese young people who have been playing games online, it is impossible not to know that item.

  In such Internet games,“PK”is short for“Player Kill”, in which two players fight until one ends the life of the other.

  In the case of the“Super Girl”singing competition,“PK”was used to refer to the stage where two singers have to compete with each other for only one chance to go up in competition ranking.

  Like this puzzled father, Chinese teachers at high schools have also been finding their students composition using Internet jargon(行话)difficult to understand.

  A high school teacher from Tianjin asked her students to write up compositions with colloquial(口语的)language, but they came up with a lot of Internet jargon that she didn't understand.

  “My GG”came back this summer from college.He told me I've grown up to be a PLMM':I love to FB with him together; he always took me to the KPM, went one composition.”

  “GG”means Ge Ge(Chinese pinyin for brother).“PLMM”refers to Piao Liang Mei Mei(beautiful sister).“FB”means“to corrupt”.“KPM”is short for KFC, Pizza Hut and McDonalds.

  While some specialists welcome Internet jargon as a new development in language, teachers are worried that too much use of such language might lead students away from the“right”usages.Parents especially worry that their children might not do well in language tests because of the use of Internet language.

  Such as those mixed feelings are, the conciseness and liveliness of Internet language continues to attract Internet users for making convenient communications.

  If you do not even know what a Kong Long(dinosaur, referring to ugly-looking female)or a Qing Wa(frog, referring to ugly-looking male)is, then you will possibly be regarded as a Cai Niao!
