The cars were honking (鸣叫) on the road one morning as I was walking to the park. I walked on and soon found the cause — a little taxi that had got stuck in the middle of the road. There was sweat on the driver's face as he tried to start the engine again and again — nothing happened. "No petrol,"
I said to myself and then found myself getting angry. "Why doesn't the fool move his taxi to the side?" I thought, so did all the others who honked and shouted.
He got up tiredly, and the passenger in the taxi got out. He was a young man in a white shirt, who watched the driver try to push it to the side. "Stupid guy!" I said. "Can't he lend a helping hand? "
I watched as the poor driver pushed it to the side. Cars, buses and trucks went past cursing (咒骂 ) the poor man. The young man took another taxi and went off.
The taxi driver began mending his taxi. "Stupid passenger!" I said to him. "He didn't help you!" The taxi driver slowly got up. "Sir!" he asked, "Did you?" I looked at him guiltily, then looked away, and walked away fast, asking myself, "Did I help the poor man push his taxi?"
What had I been doing as the traffic jam took place? How had I helped deal with the problem? Did I help the poor man push his taxi? I’d done my bit, with my mouth. But never had I moved to solve the problem. I was shocked with guilt as I heard him asking, "Sir! Did you?"
1. Why did a traffic jam happen on the road when the author was walking to the park?
A. There was too much traffic in the street.
B. Truck drivers attempted to go ahead of others.
C. A taxi driver couldn't start his engine.
D. A young man wasn't good at driving.
2.The author's attitude toward the passenger is that of __________.
A. anger B. respect C. sympathy D. guilt
3.Why did the author feel guilty?
A. Because he blamed the driver wrongly.
B. Because he didn't help the driver, either.
C. Because he tried to help but failed in the end.
D. Because he didn't persuade the passenger to help.
4. From the incident, the author learnt a lesson that we should _________.
A. criticize those who don't help
B. hurt the self-respect of others no more
C. think more of those who are in need
D. stop talking and start to help

It was a beautiful Sunday morning, and Maggie and I were returning from our walk through the woods. We were only a couple of blocks from home when I spotted a cell phone and a credit card sitting on the road. We took them home. We always find amazing things on the street and she looks upon them as a movable feast-a chicken wing here or a barbecue rib there.
I found another cell phone a few years back, too, and called a number in its phone book. I explained the situation to the guy who answered. He said it was his sister's and that he'd come to pick it up, which he did.
And that was that. No verbal thank-you, no written thank-you, no “here's a box of chocolates” thank-you.
I didn't have time to call anyone on my latest found cell phone. I was pouring myself coffee when it started to vibrate(震动) and dance across the kitchen counter.
“Who's this?” someone asked when I picked up.
“Who's this?” I countered（反问.“Sarah?”
She was surprised at my knowing her name until she realized her name was on the credit card. “Could you send them to me?” she asked.
She lives in Arlington, which is 2 miles from my house.
“Hmm, no, ”I replied, adding that I thought she could come to get them, and that if I wasn't at home, they would be in my mailbox.
A day later, when I was out for a run, someone retrieved(取回) them. There wasn't even a piece of paper put in the mailbox with “Thanks” on it. In this age of e-mail and cell phone, there's really no excuse. Years ago, I found something more precious than a $100 bill on the street: a driver's license. I saw that its owner lived a couple of blocks from me, so I called him up. He asked whether I could slip the license through his front door.
“I guess I could, ”I replied.
And that was that.
1.What is the relationship between Maggie and the writer?
A. Wife and husband B. Daughter and father
C. Teacher and student D. Master and pet dog
2.How did the writer know it was Sarah calling?
A. From her telephone's phone book B. From her credit card
C. From her e-mail D. From her driver's license
3.The writer wants to tell us ____________through the unusual stories.
A. we should return the things we picked to t he losers
B. people don't know how to appreciate others because of the use e-mail and cellphone
C. people should learn to appreciate persons who provide help to you
D. the advance of society make people lose some virtues

For 52 years my father got up every morning at 5:30 am, except Sunday, and went to work. He returned home at 5:30 pm, for dinner at 6:00 pm. I never remember my father having a night out with his children. All he asked from me as a daughter was to hold his hammer while he repaired something, just so we could have some time to talk to each other.
For 22 years, after I left home for college, my father called me every Sunday. Nine years ago, my father, 67 years old, spent three days painting my house. He asked me to hold the paint brush for him and talk to him. But I was too busy and I could not take the time to hold the paint brush, or talk to my father.
Five years ago, my father spent five hours making a swing（秋千）for my daughter. Again, all he asked me to do was to give him a glass of tea, and talk to him. But again, I had some clothes to wash, and the house to clean.
On January 16, 1996, my father telephoned me as usual, this time from my sister’s home in Florida. I had to get to church, and I cut the conversation short.
The call came at 4:40 pm. That day, my father was in hospital in Florida. I got on an airplane immediately, and on the way, I made up my mind that when I arrived, I would make up for the lost time, and have a nice long talk with him.
I arrived in Florida at 1:00 am, but my father had passed away at 9:12 pm. This time it was he who did not have time to talk, or time to wait for me.
1.
When the author was young, her father ______.
A. was busy with his work B. disliked his children
C. often talked to his children D. never cared about his children
2.
How old was the author’s father when he made a swing for his granddaughter?
A. 45. B. 67. C. 71. D. 76.
3.
When painting the house, the father asked the author to hold a paint brush because ______.
A. he wanted to make his work easy
B. he was too old to work all by himself
C. he just wanted his daughter to help him
D. he wanted to have a talk with his daughter
4.
