As Amy Hagdorn rounded the corner across the hall from her classroom. she ran into a tall boy from the fifth grade running in the opposite direction.

“Watch it. dwarf(54 f). "the boy yelled, as he kept away from the little third grader. Then, with an unfriendly smile on his face, the boy took hold of his right leg and imitated the way Amy limped(跛行) when she walked.

Amy closed her eyes for a moment.

“Forget it!” she told herself as she headed for her classroom.

It wasn’t as if he were the only one. It seemed that ever since Amy started the third grade, someone teased her every single day. The tease made Amy feel all lonely.

Back home at the dinner table that evening, Amy was quiet. Her mother knew that things were not going well at school. That’s why Patti Hagdorn was happy to have some exciting news to share with her daughter

“There’s a Christmas Wish Contest on the newspaper, she announced."Write a letter to Santa and you might win a prize.

Out came a pencil and a piece of paper and Amy went to work on her letter. She wrote:

Dear Santa Claus.

My name is Amy. I am 9 years old. I have a problem at school. Can you help me, Santa? Kids laugh at me because of the way I walk and run and talk. I have cerebral palsy( 脑瘫). I just want one day when no one laughs at me or makes fan of me.

Love

Amy

The next day, a picture of Amy and her letter to Santa made the front page of the News Sentinel. The little girls story spread quickly. She asked for such a simple, yet remarkable Christmas gift-just one day without being teased.

During that unforgettable Christmas season, over two thousand people from all over the world sent Amy letters or cards of friendship and support.

Amy did get her wish of a special day without being teased. Additionally, teachers and students in her school talked together about how bad tease can make others feel.

Having returned from her round trip, the angry woman stood outside the ticket office of the station. “The railway owes me ￡12,” She said to Harry Jenks, the young man working at the office. “You sold me a ticket for May 22nd, but there was no ship from Jersey that night. So my daughter and I had to stay in a hotel. It cost me ￡12. ”

Harry was worried. He remembered selling the woman a return ticket. “Come into the office, Madam,” he said politely. “I’ll just check the Jersey timetable for May 22nd.”

The woman and her little girl followed him inside. She was quite right, as Harry soon discovered. There was no sailing on May 22nd. How could he have made such a careless mistake? He shouldn’t have sold her a ticket for that day. Wondering what to do, he smiled at the child. “You look sunburnt,” he said to her. “Did you have a nice holiday in Jersey?”

“Yes,” she answered shyly, “The beach was lovely. And I can swim, too!”

“That’s fine,” said Harry.

“My little girl can’t swim a bit yet. Of course, she’s only three…”

“I’m four,” the child said proudly, “I’ll be four and a half.”

Harry turned to the mother, “I remember your ticket, Madam,” he said. “But you didn’t get one for your daughter, did you?”

“Er, well---” the woman looked at the child, “I mean…she hasn’t started school yet. She’s only four.”

“A four-year-old child must have a ticket, Madam. A child’s return ticket to Jersey costs…let me see…￡13.50. So if the railway pays your hotel, you will owe ￡1.50. The law is the law, but since the fault was mine… ”

The woman stood up, took the child’s hand and left the office.

1.Harry was worried because ________.

A．the woman was angry with him

B．he had not done his work properly

C．the Jersey timetable was wrong

D．the little girl didn’t have a return ticket

2.Harry started talking to the little girl ________.

A．because he was in difficulty and did not know what to do

B．because he had a little girl about the same age as this girl

C．because he wanted to be friendly to the little girl who looked so nice

D．when he suddenly realized that he could find a way out from the little girl

3.When Harry said, “The law is the law, but since the fault was mine…” he means that ________.

A．they must follow it without other choice, even though the fault was his

B．he had to be strict with the woman because of the law, although he didn’t want to

C．the woman had to pay him ￡1.50 and the railway would pay her for the hotel

During my first stay in the south of France, I rode my bike down a quiet road. Round a corner, I passed by a little old house. In its yard, there was a ruddy (气色好的) -faced woman. I waved at her as I went by, and she must have thought I was some silly tourist, because she didn’t wave back.

The same thing happened the second day. But on the third day, the old woman returned a tentative（试探性的）wave, and by the fourth day, she nearly got out of her chair as I called out.

“Good morning, Madam!” It became a small ritual (程序) between us. Once she even brought her husband out with her, and they both waved to me.

On my last day, my last ride, I cycled down to the little house but the lady wasn’t there. Back at my house, I told Roger, the gardener, of my missed connection.

“The old lady has a bad leg,” Roger said, “so she has gone to the hospital for surgery.”

“Who is she?” I asked.

Roger started to explain: the quiet road used to be a railway. The old lady’ husband was once the stationmaster, and their house was the stationmaster’s house. Several times a day, whenever a train passed, the couple would see the passengers waving excitedly, especially the children for them. However, the station was moved away. Everything is gone except for this couple.

It seems that my bicycle was a reminder of the past to her. As Roger said, “ She has missed the trains and the waves. You brought them back to her.”

By reaching out, in a way that cost me nothing, I gave more than I realized.

63Which of the following is TRUE?

A. She was a ruddy-faced woman so she was healthy.

B. Her husband also had leg disease but he didn’t tell others.

C. She and her husband didn’t like to live in the station.

D. Though she was a ruddy-faced woman, something was wrong with her leg.

64Why did the old woman bring her husband out and waved to me?

A. They wanted to go to the hospital.

B. They wanted to experience what they used to do.

C. They wanted to ask me for dinner.

D. They wanted to go to the city by train.

65. What can we infer from the sentence “However, the station was moved away. Everything is gone except for this couple”?

A. They enjoyed living where they had lived.

B. They had no house to live in.

C. They had no children to live with.

D. They were living nearest the hospital.

66. What’s the main idea of this passage?

A. An old couple and I                 B. Bicycle and railway

C. Train and passengers                D. Wave and love
