When I was a boy, I was always happy to see those little brown coins. After years I was still very happy to pick up pennies on the ground, I usually saved them up. I usually bought a pack of gum or a bag of chips when it was enough. After growing up, I heard a story about coins. It was said that our loved people sometimes would leave pennies on the ground in front of us. People wanted to show us that we were loved and watched over kindly. I never doubted that story even as an adult. It is difficult for me to find a lot of money on the ground, but pennies are there all the time. Maybe that is why I still enjoy seeing them and picking them up, no matter how dirty or old they are.

A few months ago, I was walking to the local post office to mail a letter. As I entered the room, I saw not one, not two, but four pennies shining in the sunlight. I smiled and picked them up. I kept them in my hands as I walked in the post office. “Four is Ok,” an office said to a lady. The lady began searching her purse. Her face went red. I understood what had happened. I laughed to myself at this surprising moment. I placed my pennies on the desk before her. The smile I got in return was worth a thousand dollars.

The coins weren’t so valuable to me, but they did matter to her. I just performed a little kindness. I was happy.

1.What might the author probably buy when he saved enough pennies?

A. A set of storybooks　　 B. A pack of chips

C. A box of chocolates　　 D. A bag of sugar

2.When grown up, the author　　　 .

A. saw some careless women lost coins

B. thought rich people threw coins on purpose

C. still believed the story about coins

D. found old people forget coins on the ground

3.What can we learn from this passage?

A. Doing small acts of kindness is good

B. Every coin should be used to buy important things

C. We should look for coins when we are walking

D. Pay more attention to what you hear from now on

D

When it comes to friends, I desire those who will share my happiness with me. When I was in the eighth grade, I had a friend. We were shy and ＂too serious＂ about our studies when it was becoming fashionable with our classmates to learn acceptable social behaviors. We said little at school, but she would come to my house and we would sit down with pencils and paper, and one of us would say: ＂Let’s start with a train whistle today.＂ We would sit quietly together and write separate poems or stories that grew out of a train whistle. Then we would read them aloud. At the end of that school year, we, too, were changed into social creatures and the stories and poems stopped.

When I lived for a time in London, I had a friend. He was in despair (失望) and I was in despair. But our friendship was based on the idea in each of us that we would be sorry later if we did not explore this great city because we had felt bad at the time. We met every Sunday for five weeks and found many excellent things. We walked until our despairs disappeared and then we parted. We gave London to each other.

For almost four years I have had remarkable friends. We write long letters in which we often discover our strangest selves. Each of us appears, sometimes in a funny way, in the other’s dreams. She and I agree that, at certain times, we seem to be parts of the same mind. In my most interesting moments, I often think: ＂Yes, I must tell...＂ We have never met.

It is such comforting companions I wish to keep. One bright hour with their kind is worth more to me than the lifetime services of a psychologist (心理学家), who will only fill up the healing (愈合的) silence necessary to those darkest moments in which I would rather be my own best friend.

1. In the eighth grade, what the author did before developing proper social behavior was to __________.

A. become serious about her study　　　　 B. go to her friend’s house regularly

C. learn from her classmates at school　　　 D. share poems and stories with her friend

2. In Paragraph 2, ＂We gave London to each other＂ probably means __________.

A. our exploration of London was a memorable gift to both of us

B. we were unwilling to tear ourselves away from London

C. our unpleasant feelings about London disappeared

D. we parted with each other in London

3.According to Paragraph 3, the author and her friend __________.

A. call each other regularly　　　　 B. have similar personalities

C. enjoy writing to each other　　　　 D. dream of meeting each other

4. In the darkest moments, the author would prefer to __________.

A. ask for professional help　　　　 B. be left alone

C. stay with her best friend　　　　 D. break the silence
