One day, a poor boy who was trying to pay his way through school by sending newspapers door to door, was so hungry that he decided to beg for a meal at the next house.

However, he lost his nerve when a lovely young woman opened the door. Instead of a meal he asked for a drink of water. She thought he looked hungry so she brought him a large glass of milk. He drank it slowly, and then asked, “How much do I owe you?”

“You don’t owe me anything,” she replied. “Then I thank you from the bottom of my heart.” With these words, Howard Kelly left that house.

Years later the woman became badly ill and was finally sent to the hospital in a big city. Dr. Howard Kelly, now famous, was called in. When he heard the name of the town she came from, a strange light filled his eyes. Dressed in his doctor’s clothes, Dr. Kelly went into her room and recognized her at once. From that day on, he gave special attention to her, and decided to do his best to save her life.

At last the woman was saved. Dr. Kelly asked the business office to pass the final bill to him. He looked at it and then wrote something on the side. The bill was sent to the woman’s room. She was afraid to open it because she was sure that it would take the rest of her life to pay for it off. Finally she looked, and the note on the side of the bill caught her attention. She read these words:

“Paid in full with a glass of milk, Dr. Howard Kelly.”

Tear of joy flooded her eyes.

1.The boy sent newspapers door to door in order to ________.

2.Which is true about the boy and the woman?

3.After Dr. Kelly knew who the woman was, he ________.

4.The best title for this passage is ________.

His name was Fleming, and he was a poor Scottish farmer. One day, while trying to eke（补充） out a living for his family, he heard a cry for help coming from a nearby bog (沼泽地). He dropped his tools and ran to the bog. There, mired（陷于泥坑）to his waist in black muck（淤泥） was a terrified boy, screaming and struggling to free himself. Farmer Fleming saved the lad from what could have been a slow and terrifying death.

The next day, a fancy carriage pulled up to the Scotsman's sparse(稀疏的) surroundings. An elegantly dressed nobleman stepped out and introduced himself as the father of the boy Farmer Fleming had saved.

"I want to repay you," said the nobleman. "You saved my son's life."

"No, " the Scottish farmer replied, waving off the offer. At that moment, the farmer's own son came to the door of the family hovel（茅舍）.

"Is that your son?" the nobleman asked. "Yes," the farmer replied proudly.

"I'll make you a deal. Let me take him and give him a good education. If the lad is anything like his father, he'll grow to a man you can be proud of."

And that he did. In time, Farmer Fleming's son graduated from St. Mary's Hospital Medical School in London, and went on to become known throughout the world as the noted Sir Alexander Fleming, the discoverer of Penicillin.

Years afterward, the nobleman's son was stricken with pneumonia(肺炎).

What saved him? Penicillin.

The name of the nobleman? Lord Randolph Churchill.

One day I was waiting in line to check out at Wal-Mart. Like a lot of people who want to get through a checkout line, my thoughts were on speed, nothing more. The line I was standing in wasn’t moving as quickly as I wanted, and I glanced toward the cashier.

There stood a man in his seventies. Of average build, he wore glasses and a nice smile. I thought, “Well, he’s an old guy and it probably takes him a little longer to get the chores done.”

For the next few minutes I watched him. He greeted every customer before he began scanning the items they were purchasing. Sure, his words were the usual, “How’s it going?” But he did something different—he actually listened to people. Then he would respond to what they had said and engage them in brief conversation.

I thought it was strange, but I guess I had grown accustomed to people asking me how I was doing simply out of a robotic conversational habit. After a while, you don’t give any thought to the question and just mumble something back. I could say, “I just found out I have six months to live,’’ and someone would reply, “Have a great day!’’

This old cashier had my attention. He seemed genuine (真诚的）about wanting to know how people were feeling. And after giving them the change, the old cashier looked the customers in the eyes. “I sure want to thank you for shopping here today, ’’he told them. “You will have a great day. Bye-bye.”

The looks on the faces of the customers were priceless. There were smiles and some shy grins (露齿而笑).All had been touched by his simple gesture in a place they never expected.

1.The author glanced at the cashier because of ______ .

A. the look of the old cashier

B. the slow speed of the checkout line

C. the smile on the cashier’s face

D. the long line of customers

2. In the fourth paragraph, the author intends to tell us ______ .

A. people usually have robotic conversations

B. no one cared about his health

C. people are not friendly to each other

D. he was suffering from a serious disease

3.What is special about the old cashier according to the author? He ______ .

A. worked hard at his old age

B. had usual conversations with customers

C. gave customers the right change

D. listened to people attentively

4.How did the customers probably feel after meeting the old cashier?

A. Quite ashamed of themselves.

B. Completely puzzled.

C. Unexpectedly moved.

D. Curious but happy
