I was in a shopping mall recently, and I decided to go and get a cup of tea. As I was making my way to the coffee shop, I noticed an old gentleman rather poorly dressed sitting on a bench nearby. I knew from the first sight that he was in need of some kind of help. He had a little lunch in front of him and was wholeheartedly enjoying it.

There was a young man in front of me in the line also waiting to be served. The young man handed the servant a twenty-dollar bill and asked for an orange juice as well as a favor. The servant looked at the young man with a little surprise, not fully understanding him. The young man asked her to give the juice to the old gentleman eating his lunch outside on the bench. The young man also told her that he would be watching every second so that she would be completely safe at all times. Later, there was a wonderful exchange between the waitress and the old man. I only wished I had taken a photo of the smiles on both of their faces.

As I was thinking about this event later on, I wondered why the young man didn’t just perform this act of kindness himself. I thought he was hoping that this act of kindness might inspire others to do something for the old man as well. Thinking of the happy smiles on the old man’s face, I felt how worthwhile it is to help others.

1.The underlined word “favor” in Para. 2 refers to________.

A. passing the young man a cup of orange juice

B. buying lunch for the old man

C. exchanging meals with the old man

D. giving the juice to the old man

2.Which of the following can be used to describe the young man?

A. Kind and considerate　　　　　 B. Generous and proud.

C. Rich and friendly.　　　　　　 D. Humorous and helpful.

3. In the author’s opinion, the young man asked the servant to take the juice to the old man so that____________.

A. the old man could probably accept it

B. he would become famous for his good deed

C. more people would be inspired to do good deeds

D. he would become a friend of the servant

I decided a few months ago that l was going to treat myself to a 4-day getaway from Los Angeles and visit Chicago. I turned in some long-saved frequent flier miles(航空积分里程) for the airplane ticket, but had to shell out cash I really couldn’t afford for the hotel. I found a travel website where a discounted promotional 3-night stay was purchased from a recently opened hotel.

About three weeks before the trip, I had to regretfully cancel and only then realized the room, while transferable to another person, couldn’t be changed to a later date and wasn’t refundable(可退款的)．For the next two weeks, I tried selling it on Craig’s list with no success. Five days before the “big weekend” I gave up trying to spend any money and decided I’d contact some friends who live in Chicago and offer someone a free “staycation”. After trying a handful of people all of whom already had their own plans, I was determined to have the room not go to waste.

That’s when it suddenly occurred to me that I was looking at the rooms in the wrong way. Instead of viewing them for vacation purposes, surely there must be a way to put them to good use, and that was when the idea that some sort of shelter might be able to use it hit me. I finally found one whose focus is aiding victims of domestic violence. This particular one was willing to listen to my out-of-left-field story and facilitated the transfer of the rooms. The shelter was working with a desperate woman and her young daughter, who were fortunately able to make use of the room.

1.What did the author decide to treat himself to?

A. A big meal in Chicago.

B. A 4-day travel.

C. A holiday abroad.

D. A get-together with family.

2. The author purchased a 3-night stay from a newly-opened hotel 　　　　 .

A. to act as a promoter

B. to experience e-business

C. to get a free air ticket

D. to save some money

3. The room the author booked could only be 　　　　 .

A. cancelled within 24 hours

B. changed to a later date

C. transferred to another person

D. refunded half of the money

4. What did the author decide to do with the room at last?

A. Sell it online.

B. Let it go to waste.

C. Use it to help strangers in need.

D. Offer it to one of his friends.

Dear Dad,

Today I was at the shopping mall and I spent a lot of time reading the Father’s Day cards. They all had a special message that in some way or another reflected how I feel about you. Yet as I selected and read, it occurred to me that not a single card said what I really want to say to you.

You’ll soon be 84 years old, Dad, and you and I will have had 55 Father’s Days together. I haven’t always been with you on Father’s Day but I’ve always been with you in my heart.

You know, Dad, there was a time when we were separated by the generation gap. You stood on one side of the Great Divide and I on the other.

The Father-Daughter Duel shifted into high gear（档位）when you taught me to drive the old Dodge and I decided I would drive the 54 Chevy(雪佛兰) whether you liked it or not. The police officer who sent me home after you reported the Chevy stolen didn’t have much tolerance（容忍） for a stubborn 16 -year- old girl, while you were so tolerant about it, Dad, and I think that was probably what made it the worst night of my life.

Our relationship picked up when I married a man you liked, and things really turned around when we began making babies. Somewhere along the line, the generation gap disappeared. I suppose I saw us and our relationship as aging together, rather like a fine wine.

But the strangest thing happened last week. I was at a stop sign and I watched as you turned the corner in your car. It didn’t immediately occur to me that it was you because the man driving looked so elderly and weak behind the wheel of that huge car. It was rather like a slap(打) in the face delivered from out of nowhere. Perhaps I saw your age for the first time that day.

I guess what I’m trying to say, Dad, is what every son and daughter wants to say to their Dad today. Honoring a father on Father’s Day is about respect and sharing and acceptance and tolerance and giving and taking. It’s about loving someone more than words can say, and it’s my wish that it never had to end.

I love you, Dad.

Love,

Jenny

1.What caused Jenny to write the letter?

A. Getting along well with her father.

B. Failing to find a satisfactory card.

C. Visiting a card exhibition at a mall.

D. Being away on previous Father’s Day.

2.What does the underlined phrase “ turned around ” in Para. 5 mean?

A. Became better.                    B. Changed unexpectedly.

C. Went worse.                    　　 D. Progressed unsteadily.

3.What can we learn from Para. 6?

A. Jenny seldom saw her father drive that huge car.

B. Jenny knew her father’s real age from that day on.

C. Jenny’s father slapped her on the face somewhere.

D. Jenny had never realized her father’s being weak.

4.Jenny wrote her father this letter to __________ .

A. inform him of their conflicts

B. apologize for her being stubborn

C. express her deep love to him            　　

D. remind him of the early incident
