years ago, i took a sightseeing trip to washington, dc. i saw many of our nations treasures, and i also saw a lot of citizens on the streetunfortunate ones, like beggars and homeless folks.standing outside the ronald reagan center, i heard a voice ask. “can you help me?” when i turned around, i saw an old blind woman with her hand extended. in a natural reflex (自然反射), i reached into my pocket, pulled out all of my loose change and placed it in her hand without even looking at her. i hated being disturbed by a beggar.but the blind woman smiled and said: “i dont want your money. i just need help finding the post office.” in an instant, i realized what i had done. i had acted with prejudice (偏见)-i had judged another person simply for what i thought she had to be.i hated what i saw in myself. this incident brought back my central belief. it reminded me that i believed in being humble (卑下的), even though id lost that belief for a moment.the thing i had forgotten about myself is that i am an immigrant (移民). i left honduras and arrived in the us at the age of 15. i started my new life with two suitcases, my brother, my sister and a strong mother. through the years, i have been a dish washer, roofer, mechanic, cashier and pizza delivery driver, among many other humble jobs. eventually, i became a network engineer.in my own life, i have experienced many acts of prejudice. i remember a time at age 17-i was busboy (餐馆工), and i heard a father tell his little boy that if he did not do well in school, he would end up like me. i have also seen the same treatment of family and friends, so i know what its like, and i should have known better.but now, living my american middle-class lifestyle, it is too easy to forget my past, to forget who i am and where i have been, and to lose sight of where i want to go. thai blind woman cured me of my blindness. she reminded me of my belief in being humble, and to always keep my eyes and heart open.by the way, i helped that lady to the post office. and in writing this essay, i hope to thank her for the priceless lesson she gave me.21. at the very beginning, the author regarded the old blind woman as .a. a great teacherb. a poor beggarc. a humble immigrantd. a passer-by asking for help22. how did the author feel when the old woman asked him for directions?a. concerned.b. confused.c. amused.d. ashamed.23. what is the lesson that the author learned from the old woman?a. help but dont judge.b. efforts will pay off.c. stay humble, stay happy.d. kindness is well rewarded.bif you have spent any time living in or visiting a big city in china, you have most likely used the service that didi provides. the convenient ride-sharing company, now known as didi chuxing, was praised last month by fortune magazine. according to the magazine, it is changing the world with its environmentally friendly solution to getting around in major cities. as the magazine reported: “didi concluded that last year its car-pooling services helped reduce total car trips in the country by 1 million a day, which saved 500 million liters of gas, cutting 13.5 million tons of carbon emissions (排放) per day.” the transport service was the only chinese company to make the important magazines list, and its influence can be felt in many parts of chinese society.didi is just one example of what is being called the “sharing economy”. the sharing economy is one in which regular people exchange goods and services, usually using an online marketplace. other similar companies include companies that allow people to rent out their homes to strangers like airbnb and couchsurfing, and similar ride sharing services like uber and lyft.all of these services are possible partly because many people are realizing that they have underused assets in their lives. millions of people around the world have started renting them out online to earn extra money. they rent their apartments while they are away for the weekend, lend people their cars for money and even sell their spare time.the sharing economy is the latest example of the internets value to customers. this model is now big enough for regulators and companies to have woken up to it. that is a sign of its great potential. it is time to start caring about sharing.24. what does the first paragraph imply?a. didi chuxing can bring down the price of gas.b. didi chuxing has solved the traffic jam in china.c. didi chuxing is helpful to environment.d. didi chuxing is the best transport service in china.25. what does the underlined word “assets” in paragraph 3 probably mean?a. possessions.b. services.c. houses.d cars.26. what is the purpose of the passage?a. to stress the importance of online services.b. to introduce the “sharing economy”.c. to advertise a new means of transport.d. to explain the benefits of using didi.cmy youngest son jack has begun to learn the cello (大提琴). every night, he carefully gets his cello out 0f its case and begins practising. i wont lie; its not pretty. while hes getting better every day, he has a long way from becoming the next yo-yo ma.this led me to wonder what yo-yo ma was like the first time he played the cello. of course, we now know him as one of the most excellent artists in the world, but im sure that when he first tried, he wasnt much better than my son. im not suggesting that jack is going to take the classical music world by storm one day. but hes got to start somewhere.michael jordan wasnt born playing basketball, but im sure that he had to start somewhere. warren buffett wasnt born making great investment choices, but he had to start somewhere. j. k. rowling wasnt born a writer, but he had to start somewhere. bruce springsteen wasnt born a songwriter and performer, but he had to start somewhere. each of these individuals is now famous as being at the top of their occupation. but when they first started, their skills would have been disappointing and their potential unrealized. it has taken years of hard work to realize their undoubted talents. but they had to start somewhere.i dont know what my kids are going to do with their lives, but they have a great opportunity to explore a wide range of experiences before focusing on one or two things that they can be crazy about and good at. its my job as dad to encourage them not to be put off by their bad first efforts. because everyone has to
