It was not long ago that I first learned how important having a passion(激情) is to life.

That day I went with my mum to drive my sister to the library. I was bored. Then, as my mum stopped at a red light, someone on the side of the road caught my attention. It was a man dressed in rags(破旧衣服).He was homeless. That didn't interest me, for I had seen many like him before.

But in some way he was different. This man was not sitting down with a sad expression. He had a radio in his hand and was dancing happily to the music. The radio seemed to be the most precious thing he had.

“Mum, why does that man have a radio even though he's homeless？” I asked.

“He bought it,” she answered. I was still confused.

“But if he's homeless, why doesn't he use the money to buy food or clothes? He wasted it on something he doesn't need.”

“Well, Sarah, sometimes food and clothes aren't the most important things. We need happiness, too.”

That man must care enough about music, so he bought a radio instead of food or clothes. I soon realized that happiness is the key to life. Without it, there's nothing to expect. A passion gives a person the feeling of happiness they need to keep going.

Since then I've never spent a day without thinking of what's truly important. A home, a meal，clothes—these things are not the only things that make up our lives. What's often forgotten is that we all need a joy, a light in a dark day. We all need a passion.

1.Where did Sarah see the homeless man?

A.At the library. B.At a red light.

C.At a music hall. D.At a radio station.

2.What was the man doing when Sarah saw him?

A.He was eating some food. B.He was buying a radio.

C.He was sitting down sadly. D.He was dancing to the music.

3.The underlined word “precious” in the passage means “________”．

A.loved and important B.old and cheap

C.loved but unimportant D.expensive but unnecessary

4.What the homeless man did made Sarah ________ at first.

A.bored B.crazy C.confused D.interested

5.Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?

A.In general，homeless people like music very much.

B.Homeless people can also afford a radio.

C.We should care about music rather than food or clothes.

D.A passion for something can make a person live happily.
