    题目列表(包括答案和解析)

         We can almost always find an opportunity for kindness. I filled my afternoon with small acts of
    kindness today and  they didn't take much time or effort, but I hope they made  a small difference to the
    people who received them.
         This afternoon I went out shopping. My first stop was the supermarket. I wanted to buy some bread
    with chocolate for my little daughter Rita. After I got the bread, I went on to my second stop-a local
    charity (慈善) bookshop. I wanted  to see if I could buy some books on unicorns for Rita.
         While I was there, I started a conversation with the shop assistant, during which she commented on
    the smell of my bread. I jokingly replied she could either avoid it (if she was on a diet) or go to the
    supermarket and get some. She replied she would prefer the second. "Even better. I will give you mine,"
    I said. I gave my bread to her and walked straight  out. She seemed a little surprised.
         When I came out, it was raining hard. Everyone looked  quite soaked. They must have been running
    in the rain. I noticed a homeless lady selling the Big Issue (a magazine  that supports homeless people)
    and she looked especially cold, so I gave her all my money to buy her magazines.
         I then went back to my car. I had to pay for two hours of parking instead of one because I didn't
    have the correct change, so I still had an hour left on my parking. I waited until I saw a young couple
    drive in. I gave them one magazine and they were a little surprised and quite pleased.
         You see, doing acts of kindness is that easy.
    1. What can we know from Paragraph 1?
    A. Being kind to others nowadays is not easy.
    B. The writer did some acts of kindness today.
    C. The writer does some acts of kindness every day.
    D. Kindness always makes a difference to the receiver's life.
    2. What do we know about the bookshop mentioned in Paragraph 2?
    A. It is a children's bookstore.
    B. It mainly sells books about unicorns.
    C. It is located in a supermarket.
    D. It aims to make money to help others.
    3. It is implied in the passage that the shop assistant________.
    A. was trying her best to lose weight
    B. might like the smell of the bread very much
    C. would give the bread to someone homeless
    D. expected the writer would give her the bread
    4. What does the underlined word "soaked" in Paragraph 4 mean?
    A. Strange.  
    B. Surprised.  
    C. Wet.  
    D. Excited.

    Knowing how much her own children loved presents at Christmas, Ann Sutton always tried to seek help for one or two poor families．With a social worker mother, the Sutton children had inherited her commitment to service, and knew never to take their good fortune at Christmas for granted．This year, Kinzie, her seven-year-old daughter was thrilled that Santa Claus would make a special visit to a 22-year-old mother named Ashley who worked in a factory raising her 12-month-old son by herself．

    The phone rang on Sunday．A representative from a local organization was calling to say that the aid Ann had requested for Ashley had fallen through．No Santa Claus, no presents, nothing．

    Ann saw the cheer vanish from her children’s faces at the news．Without a word, Kinzie ran into her bedroom．She returned, her face set with determination．Opening up her piggy bank, she put all the coins onto the table: $3.30．Everything she had.

    “Mom,” she told Ann, “I know it’s not much．But maybe this will buy a present for the baby.”

    At a breakfast meeting the next day, Ann told her coworkers about her daughter’s story．To her surprise, staff members began to open their purses and empty their pockets to help Kinzie．By day’s end, the story of Kinzie’s gift had spread beyond Ann’s office．She received a call from an unknown donor．If a seven-year-old could give everything she had, he said, he should at least match her gift 100 to 1．He contributed $300．

    On Christmas Eve, Ann drove through the pouring rain to the small trailer where the Ashleys lived．Then she began to unload the gifts from the car, handing them to Ashley one by one．

    Ashley was very moved．Reflecting on a little girl’s generosity, Ashley says she’ll one day be able to do something similar for someone else in need．“Kinzie could have used that money for herself, but she gave it away,” Ashley says．“She’s the type of kid I’d like my son to grow up to be.”
