a. to train him to run faster. b. to clean the dirty basket in the river. c. to punish him for not reading carefully.d. to get him to realize the use of reading books.58. what lesson can we learn from the story? a. the old are always wiser than the young. b. it is foolish to carry water with a basket. c. reading books can change a person gradually.d. you cant expect to remember whatever you read. it was a cold night in washington, d. c., and i was heading back to the hotel when a man approached me. he asked if l would give him some money so he could get something to eat. id read the signs: dont give money to beggars. so i shook my head and kept walking. i wasnt prepared for a reply, but he said, i really am homeless and i really am hungry! you can come with me and watch me eat! but i kept on walking. the incident bothered me for the rest of the week. i had money in my pocket and it wouldnt have killed me to hand over a buck or two even if he had been lying. flying back to anchorage, i couldnt help thinking of him. i tried to rationalize (找借口)my failure to help by assuming government agencies, churches and charities were there to feed him. besides, youre not supposed to give money to beggars. somewhere over seattle, i started to write my weekly garden column for the anchorage daily news. out of the blue, i came up with an idea. beans cafe, the soup kitchen in anchorage, feeds hundreds of hungry alaskans every day. why not try to get all my readers to plant one row in their gardens dedicated (奉献)to beans? dedicate a row and take it down to beans. clean and simple. folks would fax me or call when they took something in. those who only grew flowers donated them. food for the spirit. in 1995, the garden writers association of america held their annual convention in anchorage and after learning of anchorages program, plant a row for beans became plant a row for the hungry. the original idea was to have every member of the garden writers association of america write or talk about planting a row for the hungry sometime during the month of april. as more and more people started working with the plant a row concept, new variations cropped up. many companies gave free seed to customers and displayed the logo, which also appeared in national gardening public actions. row markers with the plant a row logo were distributed to gardeners to set apart their row for the hungry. garden editor joan jackson, backed by the san jose mercury news and californias nearly year-round growing season, raised more than 30,000 pounds of fruits and vegetables her first year, and showed gwaa how the program could really work. texas fruit farms donated food to their local food bank after being inspired by plant a row. today the program continues to thrive and grow. i am shocked that millions of americans are threatened by hunger. if every gardener in america-and were seventy million strong-plants one row for the hungry, we can make quite a decrease in the number of neighbors who dont have enough to eat. maybe then i will stop feeling guilty about abandoning a hungry man i could have helped.68. what does the underlines phrase out of the blue mean? a. a bit disappointed b. unexpectedly c. as a matter of fact d. attentively 69. the program has been supported by many farmers, journalists and people in different fields for many years. they usually donate many things to it except . a. money b. flowers c. seeds d. beans70. which is wrong according to the passages?
