Grandpa worked as a carpenter(木匠) in downtown Chicago. He loved life—especially when he could play a trick(玩笑) on somebody. At those times, his large body shook with laughter while he pretended(伪装) innocent surprise. But on a cold Saturday, Grandpa felt that God played a trick on him, and Grandpa wasn't laughing.
On this particular day, he was building some boxes for the clothes his church was sending to an orphanage (孤儿院) abroad. On his way home, he reached into his shirt pocket to find his glasses, but they were gone. He remembered putting them there that morning, so he drove back to the church. His search proved fruitless.
Suddenly, he realized what happened. The glasses had slipped out of his pocket unnoticed and fallen into one of the boxes, which he had nailed shut. His brand-new glasses were heading for India!
The Great Depression(经济萧条) was at its height, and Grandpa had six children. He had spent twenty dollars for those glasses that very morning.
“It's not fair,” he told God as he drove home in sadness. “I've been very faithful in giving my time and money to your work, but now this.”
Several months later, the director of the orphanage was on vacation in the United States. He wanted to visit all the churches that supported him, so he came to speak on Sunday night at my grandfather's small church in Chicago. Grandpa and his family sat in their usual seats among the workers in the church.
“But most of all,” he said, “I must thank you for the glasses you sent last year.”
“Even if I had the money, there was simply no way of replacing those glasses. Along with not being able to see well, I experienced headaches every day, so my coworkers and I were much in prayer about this. Then your boxes arrived. When my coworkers removed the covers, they found a pair of glasses lying on the top.” After a long pause, he continued, “Folks, when I tried on the glasses, I was able to see things clearly again. It was as though the glasses had been custom-made just for me! I want to thank you for being a part of that！”
The people working for the church listened, happy for the amazing glasses, but they thought the director surely must have confused(混淆) their church with another; they knew that there were no glasses on their list of items donated(捐赠) overseas.
But sitting quietly in the back, with tears streaming down his face, an ordinary carpenter realized God had used him in an unusual way.
1.Which of the following is NOT true about Grandpa according to the passage?
A. He was an outgoing man. B. He had a large family to support.
C. He sent the glasses to India on purpose D. He believed in God.
2.The people in the church except Grandpa felt surprised at what the director said because ______.
A. Grandpa didn't tell the director that he was the owner of the glasses
B. the director wanted to return the glasses even though he liked it
C. the director could not get such glasses in their own country
D. the glasses were not included in the donation list
3.What does the underlined word “custom-made” mean mostly?
A. made specially B. made by a church
C. made with the director’s agreement D. made by a carpenter
4.Which can be the best title of the passage?
A. Grandfather's Life B. The Helpful Donations
C. The Perfect Mistake D. An Impressive Speech

When my son was 11 years old, he got a small job helping out with a traveling carnival in our town. He didn’t come home at lunch time, phoning instead to tell me he was fine and had found a few days’ work helping out at an exhibit. He turned up for supper as usual however after he finished work.
I asked him how he had managed at lunch and he told me he had made some new friends at the carnival, some young men who were twin brothers, and their mom and dad. They had paid him a few dollars and invited him for lunch in return for helping them set up their exhibit and wanted him to return the next day to help with other chores (杂务).
I was glad he had found new friends but a little worried about the type of people who might be traveling in a carnival. "Oh, Mom, these are just normal everyday people like anyone else. They just work at a carnival instead of in a store or something". "Come down tomorrow and meet them yourself," he said.
So the next day I went to the carnival and to the exhibit he had directed me to. The twin brothers turned out to be Siamese (连体的) twins, joined at the chest. He hadn’t thought this fact was noteworthy(重要的) enough to mention. When I brought it to him, he said, "Yes, I noticed that too. Do you know that their mom has to make all their clothes because it’s so difficult to find anything to fit them? They’re also really good cooks. Today, Joe, the one on the right, made me spaghetti (意大利面条) for lunch."
What others see first in a person is not what a child considers important. Where I saw Siamese twins, he saw people having difficulty buying clothes that fit, and young men who were good cooks. It was a lesson I have thought about many times over the years.
1.From the first paragraph we know that ______.
A. The author’s son could live on his job at the exhibit
B. The author’s son was good at communicating with others
C. The author’s son disliked meeting his parents at home
D. The author’s son usually made his appearance at supper
2.In the boy’s eyes, the Siamese twins were ______.
A. people who had no suitable clothes to wear
B. good cooks with strange appearance
C. just normal people
D. more friendly and kinder than normal people
3.Which proverb may the author agree with according to the last paragraph?
A. Don’t judge a person by his looks. B. It is a matter of opinion
C. Love me, love my dog. D. It’s never too late to learn.

When my son, Mark, was in the third grade, he saved all his pocket money for over three months to buy holiday presents. The third Saturday in December Mark said he had made his list and had twenty dollars in his pocket.
I drove him to a nearby supermarket. Mark picked up a hand basket and went in while I waited and watched in the car. It took Mark over 45 minutes to choose his presents. Finally he came to the checkout counter (交款处) and reached into his pocket for his money. It was not there! There was a hole in his pocket, but no money. Mark stood there holding his basket, tears falling down his face.
Then a surprising thing happened. A woman came up to Mark and took him in her arms. "You would help me a lot if you let me pay for you," said the woman. "It would be the most wonderful gift you could give me. I only ask that one day you will pass it on. When you grow up, I would like you to find someone you can help. When you help others, 1 know you will feel as good about it as I do now."
Mark took the money, dried his tears and ran back to the checkout counter as fast as he could. That year we all enjoyed our gifts almost as much as Mark enjoyed giving them to us.
I would like to say '"thank you" to that very kind woman, and tell her that four years later, Mark went house to house collecting blankets (毯子) and clothes for the homeless people in the fire. And I want to promise her that Mark will never forget to keep passing it on.
1.When did the story probably happen?
A. On Christmas Day. B. Before Christmas Day,
C. On New Year's Day. D. After New Year's Day.
2.Why did the writer want to say '’thank you" to the woman?
A. Because she bought Mark a nice present.
B. Because she always paid money for others.
C. Because she collected clothes for the homeless.
D. Because she taught Mark to help people in need.
3.What's the best title for this passage?
A. A big supermarket B. A kind woman
C. A happy family D. A wonderful gift
