I was looking forward to a quiet view of the art works.A young couple viewing the paintings ahead of me chatted nonstop between themselves. I watched them a moment and decided the wife was doing all the talk. I admired the husbands patience for putting up with her continuous talk. Distracted by their noise, I moved on.I met with them several times as I moved through the different rooms of art. Each time I heard her constant burst of words, I moved away quickly.I was standing at the counter of the museum gift shop making a purchase when the couple came near to the exit. Before they left, the man reached into his pocket and pulled out a white object. He extended it into a long stick and then tapped his way into the coatroom to get his wifes jacket.“Hes a brave man.” The clerk at the counter said, “Most of us would give up if we were blinded at such a young age. During his recovery he made a promise that his life wouldnt change. So, as before, he and his wife come in whenever theres a new art show.”“But what dose he get out of the art?” I asked, “He cant see.”“Cant see? Youre wrong. He sees a lot. More than you or I do.” The clerk said, “His wife describes each painting so he can see it in his head.”I learned something about patience, courage and love that day.

Overspending was one thing, but compared to the difficult experience of choosing giftsrunning around at the last minute to get a tie for Uncle Harry and a pair of gloves for Grandma, spending money is nothing. I felt too tired to think of any special gifts.Knowing Justin felt the same way, I decided one year not to buy the usual shirts, sweaters, ties and so on. I reached for something special just for Justin. The inspiration came in an unusual way.Our son Kevin, who was 12 that year, was wrestling(摔跤) at the junior level at the school he attended; and shortly before Christmas, there was a match against a team sponsored(赞助) by an inner-city church. These youngsters, dressed in such worn-out shoes that shoe strings seemed to be the only thing holding them together, while our boys were in their blue and gold uniforms and new wrestling shoes.As the match began, I was shocked to see that the other team were wrestling without wearing helmets(头盔) to protect their ears. Well, our boys ended up defeating them. We took every weight class.Justin, seated beside me, shook his head sadly, “I wish just one of them could have won,” he said. “They have a lot potential(潜力), but losing like this could take the heart out of them.” Justin loved kidsall kids, and he knew them, having coached little league football and baseball. Thats when the idea for his present came. That afternoon, I went to a local sporting goods store and bought different kinds of wrestling helmets and shoes. I sent them to inner-city church without leaving my name.On Christmas Eve, I placed the envelope on the tree, the note inside telling Justin what I had done and that was his gift from me. His smile was the brightest thing about Christmas that year and since then the envelope has become the highlight of our Christmas.66. Justin hated Christmas because _.A. he didnt enjoy receiving giftsB. he had a hard time choosing giftsC. he spent too much money buying giftsD. he disliked putting gifts under the Christmas tree67. We know from the passage that the team sponsored by inner-city church_.A. were well dressedB. paid no attention to safety C. feared Kevins team D. couldnt afford a helmet68. How did Justin feel about the teams failure?A. Upset B. Angry C. Hopeless D. Shameful69. Why did the writer send gifts to the inner-city church without leaving her name?A. To avoid being thankedB. To play a joke on JustinC. To give Justin a surpriseD. To protect her private information70. Which of the following can be the best title for the passage?A. The Church Gift B. A Special NoteC. The White Envelope D. A Christmas Card第卷（非选择题，共35分）五、词与短语选择填空（本题共10分，每小题2分）先阅读短文，然后用下面方框中所给的单词或短语填空，使全文在逻辑上正确。（提示：选项中有一个是多余的。）keep out /expensive / lead /compare /take out /cheap71.
