On a very hectic(慌乱) day when my husband and I were busy going in a hundred direction, our five-year-old son, Justin, had to be 36 for getting into mischief(淘气).

My first 41 was surprise, and his words angered me. “You are?”I blurted(脱口而出). But 42 I turned to look at him, he was standing there, like an angel, so small, so lovely, so 43 , with his face so sad. As my heart felt his 44 , I remembered a moment in my own childhood when I 45 those words and how unloved and lonely I felt.
“Ok, Justin, you can run away from home,”I 46 whispered as I started picking out clothes. “Well, we’ll need your pajamas and your coat. We’ll also need 47 coat and nightgown.”
“Where are you going, mama?”
“If you’re going, mama’s going with you, because I would never want you to be 48 .”I looked 49 his eyes,“I love you, Justin. My 50 would never be the same if you went away. So I want to make sure you’ll be safe. If you do go, I will go with you.”
“Can daddy come?”
“NO, daddy had to stay home with your brothers.
He 51 for a while and said.“Mama, can we stay home?”

Compassion is a desire within us to help others. With effort, we can translate compassion into action. An experience last weekend showed me this is true. I work part-time in a supermarket across from a building for the elderly. These old people are our main customers, and it’s not hard to lose patience over their slowness. But last Sunday, one aged gentleman appeared to teach me a valuable lesson. This untidy man walked up to my register (收款机) with a box of biscuits. He said he was out of cash, had just moved into his room, and had nothing in his cupboards. He asked if we could let him have the food on trust. He promised to repay me the next day.
I couldn’t help staring at him. I wondered what kind of person he had been ten or twenty years before, and what he would be like if luck had gone his way. I had a hurt in my heart for this kind of human soul, all alone in the world. I told him that I was sorry, but store rules didn’t allow me to do so. I felt stupid and unkind saying this, but I valued my job.
Just then, another man, standing behind the first, spoke up. If anything, he looked more pitiable. “Charge it to me” was all he said.
What I had been feeling was pity. Pity is soft and safe and easy. Compassion, on the other hand, is caring in action. I thanked the second man but told him that was not allowed either. Then I reached into my pocket and paid for the biscuits myself. I reached into my pocket because these two men had reached into my heart and taught me compassion.
41. The aged gentleman who wanted to buy the biscuits ________.
A. promised to obey the store rules
B. forgot to take any money with him
C. hoped to have the food first and pay later

43. The writer acted upon the store rules because ________.

B. he felt no pity for the old gentleman
C. he considered the old man dishonest
D. he expected someone else to pay for the old man
44. What does the writer learn from his experience?
A. Wealth is more important than anything else.
B. Helping others is easier said than done.
C. Experience is better gained through practice.
D. Obeying the rules means more than compassion.
45. How would the the old men feel at the end of the story?
