“Are you going to Seattle?” an anxious-looking woman asked a female traveler at the Amtrak Airport in Sacramento. “No, I’m going to Eugene,” the traveler replied. “Oh, I was hoping you could watch out for my daughter, she’s never been on a plane before.”

Now, as I am quite a seasoned plane traveler, I know that seats and cars are supplied by destination（目的地）. So I came up to the woman and her frightened-looking daughter, telling them that her daughter could sit with me and that I would take care of her during the journey.

The plane had arrived 25 minutes late, and people walked in line to get their seats . The conductor wanted to know if there were people traveling together, so I went to the front of the line with the girl and we were arranged to sit next to each other. Once on board, I showed her where to put her package, and took her to the bathroom area. Then we settled down to sleep. In the morning, I showed her the dining room and bought her a drink. She became comfortable enough to do what most 15-year-olds do: talk and text on her mobile phone.

All through the trip, I made sure she picked up her ID, which had fallen out of her backpack, some money, which had fallen into the crack （缝隙） of the reclining seat, and continuously kept an eye on her. I hope someone takes her under their wing when she flies back to Sacramento.

I do hope that kindness will spread around the world through these ways. We’re conditioned to think that our lives go on with great moments. But great moments often catch us unaware, beautifully wrapped（包裹）in what others may consider a small one.

1.Where was the author going by train?

A. Sacramento.　　 B. Seattle.

C. Eugene.　　 D. Amtrak.

2.Why did the author go to the front of the line?

A. To make sure of his seat .

B. To help the girl find her seat.

C. To ask for the two seats next to each other.

D. To get a more comfortable seat in the front.

3.What can be learned from the text?

A. The girl has never left her mother before.

B. The girl has never been to Seattle before.

C. The girl has never travelled alone by air before.

D. The girl was too nervous to do anything during the trip.

4.What is the writer’s opinion according to the last paragraph?

A. Experience is the best teacher.

B. You never know till you have tried.

C. Happiness lies in giving help to others.

D. Do something good even though it may be tiny.

However, Mary didn’t _________ for some people may gain wrinkles at an earlier age owing to their tough life. Then Lily expressed her idea that those reaching their 60s or more could be called old people. However, Emily expressed her _________ and said some old people may still be energetic and trying to pursue their dreams, which makes them appear young.
