    题目列表(包括答案和解析)

    The first moment came when I was in the local dollar store. There was an older woman in front of me just wrapping(包裹) up her goods.   1.   

        Before I could even offer to help, the young cashier gave her a big smile. She said, “Oh, don’t worry about it,” and sent the woman on her way.

        As I came up she said, “It’s only a few cents. I can’t make a big deal out of it.” I responded, “Here’s the seventeen cents.   2.    In this way your cash won’t be short.”

          3.  We passed a young man whose arms and face were covered in tattoos (纹身). He wore torn clothes and sat on the sidewalk with a sign that said “Homeless—Hungry—Sick.”

        Now as we passed I was thinking “Junkie (有毒瘾者)”.    4.    But, as we went a little further, I said to myself, “Who am I to judge? I should just put something in his paper cup.”

        At the same moment my son said, “That man is homeless, hungry and sick. I want to help him.”

        I gave him some money and told him he could put it in the cup. As I watched the young man gave my son a big smile and said, “Thank you!” My son told him, “No problem.” When my son came back to me he said, “That was good. Now he can get better.”

         5.   And, once again, I learned that children are often our best role models for the acceptance of others.

    A. You did a really nice thing.

    B. It was an automatic reaction (自动反应).

    C. His sign says he needs more clothes.

    D. The rate (几率) of people giving her money is low.

    E. Just two little moments, but they taught me lots.

    F. The second moment came when I was walking along with my son.

    G. When she came to pay for them she discovered that she was seventeen cents short.

    He looks like somebody important! I remember thinking about a middle-aged man standing at a checkout counter． Something set him apart． Even the boy bagging groceries seemed to sense it． He sped up than usual as he glanced with respect at the man．
    Trying to find out what was different about him, I found that he looked quite ordinary． Although he gave the impression of being tall, I could see he was actually a little shorter than average． His appearance wasn’t particularly outstanding, and he was wearing plain weekend sports attire ( 运动休闲装 )． Not until the man was leaving did it strike me． He carried himself as if he were somebody worth caring about． Head up and chest out, he walked proudly from the market． I watched the other shoppers as they looked down over their baskets． And me? In the glass of the store’s side doors, I saw reflected ( 映现 ) a worn-out housewife who looked as if she’d carried too many bags of groceries．
    Suddenly, the words I’d heard my mother repeat hundreds of times as I was growing up held new meaning． “Stand up straight ! Lift yourself by pretending strings are pulling you from the tops of your ears．” I thought of myself being pulled up ． I felt taller as I came nearer to the market’s doors． This time I saw reflected a woman who looked as if she knew where she was going! But as I rushed home in five o’clock traffic and tried to fix dinner before a seven o’clock meeting, my good manners disappeared． It wasn’t until the next day as I was trying on clothes in a department store that I remembered again． Each thing I put on seemed wrong． Suddenly I recalled the man in the supermarket． I lifted myself up． The dress looked nicer on me． I liked the dress! Sure enough, I looked five to seven pounds lighter． Dieting titles I’d read came to mind, such as “How to Lose Pounds in Weeks?” Now I had a new title: “How to Look Thinner in Seconds．”

        On Sundays my father always wore that dull gray apron - the one with the race cars all over it. The
    ritual began after breakfast when Dad always announced: "Go ahead everyone. I'll take care of the
    dishes!" With that my mother disappeared into the folds of the Sunday paper. Off came the suit coat he
    had worn to church that morning. Up went the shirtsleeves. On went that apron. For the next hour Dad
    did the dishes, singing ballads like "I Had a Hat When I Came In" and "Who Put the Chow in Mrs.
    Murphy's Chowder?"
         I suppose it was strange for a boy's father to wear an apron - even one with race cars - but I never
    thought much of it until the day that Dad broke with tradition. It was the last Sunday in August. My father
    seemed in an expansive mood as we walked home from church together.
         "Tommy," he said letting my name roll off his tongue. My mind raced ahead of his words: The birds
    and the bees? A new bike?  A part-time job?
         "There comes a time in every boy's life when he must take on responsibilities." This was important. I
    might even get to back the car out of the driveway.
         " Responsibilities?" I asked.
         "Yes. It's time you took a greater role in the household." Power tools? Boss my baby brother?
         "Starting today, I want you to do the dishes on Sunday morning so your mother and I can work the
    crossword puzzle together."
         "The dishes!?"
         "Anything wrong with taking over the dishes, son?"
          I started to say something about a man's job or woman's work, but I knew immediately that my
    protests would fall on deaf ears.
         I didn't taste a bit of breakfast that morning. Dad seemed in a jovial mood as he described an
    exceptional Yankee game seen through the eyes of Mel Allen on the radio last night.
         "Mickey Mantle drove the ball right over the center field wall," he said. "Just a straight line climb in
    right out of the stadium." He looked out the window as if trying to pick the ball out of the cloud formations. I tried to imagine Mickey Mantle wearing an apron.
         Suddenly, everything grew quiet. My sister began to clear the table. My brother was scraping the last
    of the egg from his plate. And then that ancient family ritual that had filled so many Sunday mornings came
    to an end. My father announced: "Let's go read the paper, Hon."
         "Aren't you doing the dishes?" my mother asked in puzzlement.
         "Your oldest son has generously offered to fill the position."
         My brother and sister stopped cold. So this was what my life had come to. A dark angel sat on my
    left shoulder and reminded me that I could hit a baseball farther than anyone in my class. I could
    bench-press my weight. I knew three declensions in Latin, the language of Caesar. Ask me to run
    through a rainstorm. Command me to ride the roller coaster - backward. These things I would do. But I
    could never do those dishes. There was nothing left but to refuse.
         People often say there is a special chemistry between a father and a son. He came back into the
    kitchen just as I was about to storm out. He had loosened his tie and rolled up the sleeves of his
    shirt-ready to relax. In his right hand was the old apron.
         "I want you to have this, Tommy. It'll keep your clothes from getting wet." And before I could mount
    a protest, he had put the thing on me. "Thanks, Son. Your mother and I appreciate this."
         With that he disappeared into the Sunday paper. I looked down at the plastic. It had seen better days.
    I could see my dad reaching for the dishes. The dark angel flew off. Soon I was singing about Mrs.
    Murphy's chowder. The words came out of nowhere. And out of nowhere I knew the kind of man I
    wanted to be.
