I still remember it was in the winter of 1990...

I still remember it was in the winter of 1990 that, together with the help of my older sister, I　　　 down my wishes for Christmas onto a piece of paper. How I wished on Christmas Eve my grandest wish would be 　　　 　 and placed under the Christmas tree — a puppy. When we were done, our wish-lists were collected by our parents with the promise to be 　　　 　 to Santa's hard- working helpers.

The next day, our parents sat us down in the living-room, with 　　　 expressions on their faces. As it 　　　 , they had seen our wishes, now wanting to talk to us about one wish 　　　 — the puppy. For a moment, I held my breath, but was 　　　 　 when they told us that they weren't against a puppy. What they 　　　 　 against was putting it under the Christmas tree. That was not a good idea.

They 　　　 taught us that an animal was not a gift that belonged to the same 　　　 　 as our toys. Animals were creatures with 　　　 　 that we should decide to have one, and it would be a(n)　　　 to our family. An animal 　　　 　 a lot of responsibilities. It wasn’t anything one bought out of a mood. An animal could not be exchanged or 　　　 when we didn't feel like it. An animal wasn’t a toy. An animal was a 　　　 　 family member that needed lots of love and attention. An animal was not a 　　　 , but a family decision. A serious decision. And a big decision.

　　　 　 , my parents share my love for animals, so the decision came reasonably 　　　 . After our grandparents had given their 　　　 up for taking care of the dog, while we were on future vacations, the answer was yes. Yes, we would get a puppy.

The following days and weeks, there was only one 　　　 : our new family member! Yes, a family member, because animals have their rights. They are not simply food or gifts. We humans must attend, love and protect them.

I still clearly remember that day. I was on the side of the road for about four hours with my big jeep. I put signs in the windows that said, "Need a jack (千斤顶）.”

As I was about to give up，a truck stopped and a man got off. He looked at the situation, made a judgment and went back to take a jack. After about two hours, we finished the job with sweats. We were both dirty. His wife took a large bottle of water for us to wash our hands.

I tried to put $ 20 in the man’s hand, but he wouldn’t take it, so I went to give it to his wife as quietly as I could. I asked their little girl where they lived, thinking maybe Pd send them a gift. She said they lived in Mexico. They were in Oregon now，so Mommy and Daddy could pick cherries for the next few weeks. After that, they were going to pick peaches and then go back home.

After I said goodbye and started going back to my jeep, the girl ran to me and handed me a tamale (玉米粽子）for lunch. I thanked them again and walked back to my jeep. When I opened the tamale, what did I find inside? My $ 20! I ran to the truck and the guy rolled down his window. He started shaking his head, smiled, and with what looked like great concentration said in English, "Today you, tomorrow me. ” Then he drove away, with his daughter waving to me from the back.

This family, working on a seasonal basis where time is money, took a couple of hours to help a stranger while others passed by quietly.

Since then I’ve helped many people like the Mexican family. I didn’t accept their money. Every time I was able to help，I felt as if I was putting something in the bank.

1.From the passage we can know that ________.

A．the Mexican man couldn’t speak English

B．the author’s jeep broke down on the road

C．the Mexican family came to Oregon for a visit

D．$20 was a small amount for the Mexican family

2.Why did the author hand the money quietly to the man’s wife?

A．Because the Mexican man had refused to accept it.

B．Because the Mexican man’s wife needn’t wash her hands.

C．Because the author thought the Mexican man’s wife was a bit greedy.

D．Because the author thought the wife wanted to use the money to buy peaches.

3.The Mexican man helped the author because he tended to think that ________.

A．it was completely wrong for others to pass by quietly

B．it was quite easy to help the author repair the jeep

C．it was possible that everyone might get into trouble

D．the author was a polite stranger and deserved the help

4.What can we infer from the passage?

A. The Mexican family lived a richer life than the author.

B. The Mexican family did seasonal work in Oregon in previous years.

C. The author was inspired to help others by the Mexican family.

D. What made the author cry was the tamale given by the girl.
