The first moment came when I was in the local dollar store. There was an older woman in front of me just wrapping(包裹) up her goods. 1.

Before I could even offer to help, the young cashier gave her a big smile. She said, “Oh, don’t worry about it,” and sent the woman on her way.

As I came up she said, “It’s only a few cents. I can’t make a big deal out of it.” I responded, “Here’s the seventeen cents. 2.   In this way your cash won’t be short.”

3.  We passed a young man whose arms and face were covered in tattoos (纹身). He wore torn clothes and sat on the sidewalk with a sign that said “Homeless—Hungry—Sick.”

Now as we passed I was thinking “Junkie (有毒瘾者)”.  4.   But, as we went a little further, I said to myself, “Who am I to judge? I should just put something in his paper cup.”

At the same moment my son said, “That man is homeless, hungry and sick. I want to help him.”

I gave him some money and told him he could put it in the cup. As I watched the young man gave my son a big smile and said, “Thank you!” My son told him, “No problem.” When my son came back to me he said, “That was good. Now he can get better.”

5.  And, once again, I learned that children are often our best role models for the acceptance of others.

A. You did a really nice thing.

B. It was an automatic reaction (自动反应).

C. His sign says he needs more clothes.

D. The rate (几率) of people giving her money is low.

E. Just two little moments, but they taught me lots.

F. The second moment came when I was walking along with my son.

G. When she came to pay for them she discovered that she was seventeen cents short.

The other day I was shopping at a local store and came across a lady from India squatting (蹲) on the floor looking for a certain product on the bottom shelf. She stood up quickly when she saw me as if to get out of my way. Feeling sorry, she explained that she was a cashier at a nearby store and was on her lunch break, trying to get a few needed things before her time was up.

I comforted her. “I am in no hurry. Go ahead and do what you need to do. I have plenty of time.” While she searched for something, she said that sometimes customers were rude to her at the store and she was really thankful for my kindness. I told her that I had noticed cashiers being treated rudely by some people and that those people needed to be more understanding.

She thanked me for being so nice and friendly. I told her, “The world would be a better place if we all acted kindly toward each other. Those who are rude may have bad karma (报应) coming after them finally for treating people badly.” She nodded and was surprised that I knew what karma was.

She asked me what karma meant. I gave her a simple answer. She looked puzzled, then broke out in a big smile and covered her mouth with her hand, laughing as she walked away.

It felt so good that I may have helped someone feel better for even a few seconds. In a brief exchange I showed her there are good and kind people in the world and may have added to her belief in humanity (人性). Maybe she thought about that later in the day, perhaps when someone was treating her unkindly.

1.Why did the lady squat on the floor?

A.To find a certain product.

B.To get out of the way.

C.To have a lunch break.

D.To explain that she was a cashier

2.Which of the following can best describe the writer?

A.Rude, B.Friendly.

C.Humorous. D.Brave.

3.What made the lady surprised?

A.She was treated rudely. B.The writer knew what karma was.

C.She was misunderstood. D.The writer comforted her.

4.What does the writer want to tell the readers?

A.No pains, no gains.

B.It's easier said than done.

C.Failure is the mother of success.

D.Kindness is the sunshine of social life.

I am a music store owner. One day, when I was cleaning the instruments in my store, I saw an old man come in. His short steps dragged on the carpet. “Is 77 too old to learn the banjo (班卓琴)?” he asked.

“You can learn to play it well,” I replied, holding back my doubts. My mind told me I was giving false encouragement. I reached the instructor’s schedule and gave the rates, the available time and the additional information that he would need. To my surprise and delight, the old man, Carl, began banjo lessons three days later with my most patient teacher.

With nothing to do at home but practice, Carl made surprising progress. After breakfast he practiced for his required half hour. While waiting for lunch he picked up his banjo again for just a couple of minutes. Since TV was difficult for him to see and hear, he often played the banjo in the evenings. Carl was always early for lessons so it was a surprise that he didn’t arrive one Tuesday.

The next morning I listened to the answering machine with sadness. “Carl’s in hospital,” the voice recorded.

Two months later, I shared the newspaper obituary with the banjo teacher. We both shed tears for a surprisingly clever banjo student.

Several months later, a woman came into the store carrying a plant. “This is for Carl’s banjo teacher,” she said. “I’m his wife, Mary.”

“Why did Carl want to play the banjo?” I asked. Mary took a deep breath and let it out slowly. “Carl was at some show when he was 10 years old. He came close to the stage to watch the performers. When they were packing up their instruments, the banjo player said to Carl, ‘You want to see this up close?’ Carl climbed up on the stage and from then on he wanted to play the banjo.” Carl had waited 67 years to realize a dream! Mary gave the plant to Carl’s banjo teacher. “Thank you for the best six months of his life,” she said.

1.How did Carl learn to play the banjo well?

A. By working hard.

B. By taking short cuts.

C. By asking his wife to help him.

D. By finding the best teacher.

2.From Paragraph 2, we can know the author ______.

A. was unwilling to help Carl

B. was giving true encouragement

C. didn’t want to encourage Carl

D. encouraged Carl though he had doubts

3.The underlined word “obituary” in Para.5 means a notice that _______.

A. announces somebody has died

B. announces somebody is needed

C. announces a good piece of news

D. announces a gift for somebody

4.Why did Carl want to learn banjo?

A. He wanted to become a banjo performer.

B. He wanted to make his dream of his young age come true.

C. His wife encouraged him to learn it.

D. He wanted to spend the last best six months of his life.
