I was very disappointed not to be able to go to the concert last Friday. The advertisement in the paper said you could buy tickets at the theatre box any day between 10:00 and 4:00. Since I work from 9:00 to 5:30, the only time I could go to the theatre was during my 45-minute lunch break. Unfortunately, the theatre is on the other side of the town, and the bus service between my office and the theatre is not good. But if you are lucky, you can make the round trip in 45 minutes. Last Monday, I stood at the bus stop for 15 minutes. By the time I saw one come, there was not enough time left to make the trip. So I gave up and went back to the office. The same thing happened on Tuesday, and again next day. On Thursday, my luck changed. I got on a bus right away and arrived at the theatre in 20 minutes. When I got there, however, I found a long line at the box office, and I heard one man say he had been waiting for over an hour. Realizing I would not have enough time to wait in line, I caught the next bus and headed back. By Friday I realized my only hope was to make the trip by taxi. It was expensive, but it would be worth it to hear the concert. The trip by taxi only took 10 minutes, but felt like an hour to me. When I got to the theatre, I was relieved to see that nobody was waiting in line. The reason, however, I quickly discovered, was that they had already sold all the tickets.

1. The man learned from _______ that there would be a concert on Friday.

A. the bus stop　　 　　 B. the theatre box

C. one man in line　　 D. the newspaper

2. He tried to go to the theatre every day but managed to get there only _______.

A. once 　　　　　　 B. three times　

C. twice 　　　　　　 D. four times

3.One day the man took _______ to get to the theatre by bus．

A. forty-five minutes　　　　 B. twenty minutes　

C. fifteen minutes　　 　　　 D. ten minutes

4. The underlined word “relieved” may best be replaced by _______.

A. pleased　　 　　　　 B. surprised　

C. puzzled　 　　　 　 D. sorry

Last Friday, I was coming home late after spending time with friends and thought I’d go down to the $99 cent pizza place. On the way, I saw a man sitting on the stairs alone there. I’d seen him before every day I run late to work, but this time I had no place to rush off to.

There was something about him, a quiet manner, different from many of other homeless people I had seen in New York City. I walked past him, went to the pizza place, and those 10 seconds waiting in line was enough to practice stepping outside of my usual, familiar flow. So with a few slices in hand, I went back to join him. I asked him if he was hungry. He said yes, but not for pizza because it made him uncomfortable. He’d rather have a few bucks for chicken and rice since it was easier on his stomach. It’s funny, in that moment, he became more real to me.

This man I had seen almost every day was someone with specific conditions, needs, and experiences. We exchanged names and ended up talking for a little over an hour that night as Kevin told me stories from his life, how he had done things when “he was younger and didn’t know any better” and how he tried to make amends (补偿) but too much time had passed. He shared his views on the value for young adults to learn the history of other people.

He talked about his one wish being in his 60’s before he leaves this earth, which is to share his story with the teenagers and young adults so they could avoid the mistakes he went through. Throughout the conversation, he eventually got his chicken and rice and gifted me a rose he had been carrying. Shortly afterwards, I made my way home, thinking to myself, “I met an amazing homeless person”.

1.The writer’s purpose in writing the passage is to ____.

A. share his experience            B. show his generosity

C. express his thoughts            D. exchange his opinions

2.The homeless man refused pizza because he ____.

A. did not feel very hungry at that moment

B. had something wrong with his stomach

C. preferred some chicken and rice to pizza

D. might feel ashamed to be given something

3.What’s the homeless man’s last wish?

A. To become a lot younger again.

B. To make amends for his early life.

C. To have enough chicken and rice to eat.

D. To teach the young not to follow his example.

4.It can be inferred from the text that ____.

A. The homeless man is different from others

B. The writer showed his pity to the homeless man

C. What the homeless man thought shocked the writer

D. What the homeless man did was not very meaningful

5.How do you like the homeless man after reading the passage?

A. Learned.    B. Honorable.    C. Determined.    D. Promising.
