seemingly ancient woman waited beside the door with her hand outstretched(伸出的). every day i put my hand in hers as our eyes _ 36 _. she never 37 to return my smile, my grasp, and my greeting. on the last day of our 38 , i found myself _39_ on a busy corner across the street from our hotel. bicycles and motorbikes rushed in front of me. we had been advised to walk_40_ through the heavy traffic without looking right or left. let them _41_ us. but tonight i was by myself and felt _42_ to face the stream of vehicles. _43_ i hesitated (犹豫) on the sidewalk, i felt a hand on my elbow(肘) and looked down to see the smile of my small beggar friend looking up at me. she nodded her head toward the street, _44_ that she would take me across. together, we moved slowly into the chaos（混乱）. then we moved on _45_ the sidewalk, where she pulled my face down to hers, kissed me on both cheeks, and then walked away, still smiling and waving back to me. i had not given her a single coin. we had _46_ something vastly more importanta warming of hearts in friendship. traveling in poorer nations, i have _47_ a variety of ways to deal with beggars. the most _48_ response of tourists faced with those extremely poor people is to_49_ them and focus their eyes elsewhere. i have seen people push away an outstretched hand in _50_. a few may hurriedly drop a few coins, and then make a quick getaway in hopes that another 20 ragged beggars wont immediately appear on the _51_. for many reasons, giving money is not the best response to an outstretched hand. the greatest gift is time and respect. to look beggars in the eye and smile, thus_52_ their existence, is a small thing. putting your hand into anothers outstretched hand and grasping it_53_ for a moment is also a small thing. but these are important. everyone needs _54_, to be seen as worthy of being _55_, to feel appreciated and loved. and i believe that everyone is worthy and worth knowing. 36. a. droppedb. openedc. turnedd.

hometown but with me. i had left as a 17-year-old boy and had now returned as an 18-year-old man. in the city, i was living on my own, had a part-time job and was studying. even the government recognized i was an adult: i had a drivers license. so here i was, on my summer vacation, walking down the main street with my father, desperate for him to acknowledge how mature i was. when his recognition failed to appear, i took matters into my own hands. “dad,” i said casually, “im thirsty. lets go for a beer.” it was the first time id ever mentioned beer in front of my father, let alone ask him to drink one with me.he turned to me with a curious expression on his face. “a beer? well i guess youre old enough now. lets go to sailors bar. its where my cousin tom, your uncle, used to drink. you remember him, right?”i had only some vague(模糊的) memories of my uncle. he was the black sheep of the family. we didnt talk about him much. “what ever happened to uncle tom, dad? i havent seen him in years,” i said as we continued towards the bar.“neither have i, unfortunately. he was a good kid once. but things changed,” my father said sadly. as a boy, he explained, there had been no better-behaved boy than tom. but after leaving school, he moved to the city and fell in with bad company. he started going out every night, drinking in nightclubs and playing cards. soon he lost everything and had to beg his mum to pay his debts. she agreed on the condition he returned home.my dad took a deep breath and continued his tale. “things settled down for a while. he married a lovely woman, gave up his bad habits. but it didnt last. he was soon back to his old ways. he couldnt resist. he was at sailors bar almost every night. his poor mother died of grief and shame. his wife followed her soon after. “what ruined him was alcohol. he told me once, when a man begins drinking, he never knows where itll end. so, tom warned me, beware of your first drink! “he went from bad to worse. last year tom sent me a letter saying he had been found guilty of stealing, and sent to prison for ten years.”dad finished talking just as we reached the front of sailors bar. “anyway, here we are. lets go in,” he said. but i understood. i put my arm around my father and said, “im not thirsty any more, dad. lets go home.”56. why did the young man invite his father to drink a beer?a. because he was thirsty. b. because he wanted to impress his father casually. c. because he wanted to show he was an adult. d. because he wanted to discuss his uncle tom. 57. what does the young man mean by

family showed sympathy to tom because he was unfortunate. d. the family felt disgusted about him because he was different. 58. what was the main source of uncle toms problems?a. his overly-strict family. b. his addiction to card games.c. the deaths of his mother and wife. d. his inability to control his drinking. 59. in the story, the father told his son about tom in order to _.a. convince the

the palo alto times. pollys son, jim, had great difficulty in school. he was classified as educationally disabled and required a great deal of patience on the part of his parents and teachers. but jim was a happy kid with a great smile that lit up the room. his parents acknowledged his academic difficulties, but always tried to help him see his strengths so that he could walk with pride. shortly after jim finished high school, he was killed in a motorcycle accident. after his death, his mother submitted this letter to the newspaper. today we buried our 20-year-old son. he was killed instantly in a motorcycle accident on friday night. how i wish i had known when i talked to him last that it would be the last time. if i had only known i would have said, “jim, i love you and im very proud of you.”i would have taken the time to count the many blessings he brought to the lives of the many who loved him. i would have taken the time to appreciate his beautiful smile, the sound of his laughter, his genuine love of people.when you put all the good qualities on the scale(天平) and try to balance all the irritating phenomena such as the radio which was always too loud, the haircut that wasnt to our liking, the dirty socks under the bed, etc., your angry feelings wont amount to much.i wont get another chance to tell my son all that i would have wanted him to hear, but, other parents, you do have a chance. tell your young people what you would want them to hear if you knew it would be your last conversation. the last time i talked to jim was the day he died. he called me to say, “hi, mom! i just called to say i love you. got to go to work. bye.” he gave me something to treasure forever.if there is any purpose at all for jims death, maybe it is to make others appreciate more of life and to have people, especially family members, take the time to let each other know just how much we care.64. according to the passage, we know that _. a. jims parents were patient with him b. jim did very well in his studies c. jim kept to himself d. jim failed to finish his high school65. the underlined word “irritating” in paragraph 4 means _. a. impatientb. aggressivec. annoyingd.
