A lesson in caring
It was a cold evening and my daughter and I were walking up Broadway．I didn’t notice a guy sitting inside a cardboard box．But Nora did．She wasn’t even four, but she 1 at my coat and said, “That man’s cold．Daddy, 2 we take him home?”
I don’t remember my reply．But I do remember a sudden 3 feeling inside me．I had always been delighted at how much my daughter noticed in her 4 , whether it was 5 in flight or children playing．But now she was noticing 6 and beggary．
A few days later, I saw an article in the newspaper about volunteers who picked up a food package from a nearby school on a Sunday morning and 7 it to an elderly person．It was quick and easy．I 8 us up．Nora was 9 about it．She could understand the importance of food, so she could easily see how 10 our job was．When Sunday came, she was ready, but I had to 11 myself to leave the house to fetch the food package．On my way to the school, I fought an urge（强烈愿望） to turn 12 ．The Sunday paper and coffee were waiting for me at home．Why do this? 13 , we phoned the elderly person we’d been appointed．She 14 us right over．
The building was in a bad state．Facing us was a silver-haired woman in an old dress．She took the package and asked us to come in．Nora ran inside．I unwillingly followed．15 inside, I saw that the department belonged to someone poor．Our hostess showed us some photos．Nora played and when it came time to say goodbye, we three hugged, I walked home in tears．
Professionals call such a（n）16 “a volunteer opportunity”．They are opportunities, I’ve come to see．Where else but as volunteers do you have the opportunity to do something 17 that’s good for others as well as for yourself? Nora and I regularly serve to needy people and 18 clothes for the homeless．Yet, as I’ve 19 her grow over these past four years, I still wonder—which of us has 20 more?

Although the man who sat with me in the old wooden stairs thirty-five years ago was not a tall man. But to me, a five-year-old child, he was a giant. We would sit side by side, watching the sun go down behind the station across the busy street behind which I was never 1 to cross 2 accompanied by an adult.
One day we sat 3 the traffic ,counting cars and trying to guess the color of the next one to turn the corner to kill time.
Suddenly Grandpa asked “ 4 ?"

I couldn't believe my 6 . Was he talking to me? On my family's modest income, Coke was not a part of our diet. Without resisting the temptation I replied 7 ," Okay," wondering how I would get across the street.

I'm going to stay 9 and keep an ear out for the babies, who are still asleep. I'll tell you when it's safe to cross. You go over to the Coke machine get your Coke and walk back and then 10 me to tell you when it's safe to cross back."
I was very nervous when Grandpa 11 my hand tightly. Together we looked up the street and 12 , and back up again. He told me it was safe to cross. He 13 my hand and I ran. I ran as fast as possible The street seemed 14 . I wondered if I would 15 it to the other side. Reaching the other side, I 16 to find Grandpa. still standing exactly where I had left him, 17 proudly. I waved.
Coke in hand, I proudly marched back out into the early evening dusk, seeing Grandpa was waiting 18 .
" Stop right there," he yelled 19 one car was speeding by me, after which Grandpa said" Come on, now," At last I crossed the street safely. He smiled on me, saying “You’ll do that alone from now on”. On hearing this, I 20 felt so proud before.

John Steinbeck once said, “All Americans believe they are born fishermen. For a man to admit to a distaste in fishing would be like denouncing (公开指责) mother – love or hating moonlight.”
I can’t say that I’m the biggest John Steinbeck fan. Actually, the only thing I can ever remember reading by him was “The pearl” when I was in middle school, but I couldn’t agree more with the man when it comes to fishing. Whether I am on a boat in the middle of the Lay Lake, fishing off the shores of the Florida Keys for tarpon (大海鲢) or catching rainbow trout (红鲭鱼) in the Shoshone River of Wyoming, fishing is my life.
According to the American Sports Fishing Association, the fishing industry brings in more than $ 116 billion per year from fishermen across the country.
Though a beautiful picture to imagine fishing is much more than that. Fishing is a way of life for many people and a way to escape everyday stress. Being a fisherman makes me a member of a wonderful group of people extending to all walks of life. Even President Bush can be found fishing on his farm in Texas with his good friend Roland Martin when the job gets too stressful.
I can remember fishing with my grandfather when I was 5 years old on his boat at Lake Mitchell. Although I didn’t understand what I doing. I did know that my grandfather was happy and that made me happy. Since then I’ve spent the past 16 years on the rivers and lakes of Alabama.
After days of practice, before and after work, I slowly developed an understanding of fishing. My boss. Ric Horst, took me back to the Shoshone, and I managed to bring in a 19 – inch cutthroat trout. Fishing with Ric was a life – changing experience for me. He not only showed my how to fish correctly, but also told me how fishing could be a way to escape your problems.
Since then, prime – time (黄金时间) season seems to take forever to arrive.
Now, with the ending of February and beginning of March in sight, the excitement of heading out Lake Tuscaloosa or Lake Lurleen before classes and catching something has finally returned.
51．What John Steinbeck said in the first paragraph implies that .
A．Americans are believed to be the offspring (后代) of fishermen
B．it is unthinkable for an American to admit his dislike of fishing
C．all Americans are expert at fishing
D．those who dislike fishing would not love their mother
52．The writer came to understand the real meaning of fishing .
A．when he was reading “The pearl” by John Steinbeck
B．when he went fishing with his grandfather at Lake Mitchell
C．after he had spent 16 years on the rivers and lakes of Alabama
D．after he went fishing with his boss, Ric Horst on the Shoshone

B．The author regards fishing as a very important part in his life.
C．The author agreed with John Steinbeck the most when he was in middle school.
