There was an old man who used to sleep on the sidewalk of the Fifth Street Post Office. I could smell him before I came close. He wore dirty clothes and his mouth was nearly toothless. I seldom saw him talk with others. If he was not asleep, he talked to himself. I always felt sorry for him. What a poor old man! He must be hopeless and hungry.
One Thanksgiving, we had lots of food left over. I thought about the old man. He might be still hungry, so I packed the food up and drove over to the Fifth Street. It was a cold night. There was hardly anyone out. But I knew he would stay at the same place and I would find him easily. There he was, sitting against a fence(栅栏)near the post office. He was dressed as he always was. I drove my car over to him, rolled down the window and said, "I’ve brought you some food. Would you like some turkey and apple pie?”
However, the old man didn't seem to be very excited about this. He looked at me and said quite clearly, "Oh, thank you very much, but someone has given me food earlier and I'm quite full now. Why don't you take it to someone else who needs it?’
His words were clear and his manners were good. Soon he put his head down into his arms again. I was the only person who didn't know what to say. An old man who was clearly down on his luck still thought about others. Why don't more of us do that?
1.Where did the old man usually stay?
A.Near a fence. B.Beside a car
C.On the sidewalk D.In the post office
2.What can we know about the old man from the text?
A.He liked to talk to himself. B.He knew the writer well.
C.He had a mouthful of teeth. D.He dressed himself nicely
3.Why did the old man refuse the writers help?
A.He didn't like to be helped.
B.He wanted more people in need to get help.
C.He could do nothing to pay the writer back.
D.He didn't like eating the turkey and apple pie.
4.From the passage, we know the old man was________.
A.well-educated B.easy-going C.strong-willed D.kind-hearted
5.What's the best title for this text?
A.It's better to give than to take. B.It’s not too poor to care for others.
C.God helps those who help themselves. D.From small beginning come great things.

When I was 14 years old, I used to babysit (做临时保姆) for the lady next door. Every two weeks she would pay me $80. I always looked forward to getting paid so I could go to the shopping centre with my friends on Saturday and spend the money on my favourite things.
One Friday evening I heard my mom on the phone with our neighbor and I heard her say a fewtimes, “Oh, that is terrible.” After my mom hung up, I asked what was wrong. She said that the neighbor had no food in her house and that she didn’t know what she was going to feed her daughter with. Her husband had spent their money on beer and got angry because his wife asked for money to buy groceries (食品杂货). He began to pull dishes out of the cupboards (壁橱) and threw them at the wall. So, the lady didn’t have any groceries or dishes.
I had an idea. I asked my mom to drive me to McDonald’s.I bought the lady and her daughter dinner with the babysitting money she had given me. After I had taken them dinner, I asked my mom to take me to the store and I bought the lady dishes and groceries with the rest of the money. When I knocked on the front door, the lady gave me a big hug and told me how grateful she was that I helped her. When Saturday came around, I didn’t have any money to go to the shopping centre with my friends, but I didn’t care, because I felt great that I was able to help this family.
Later, we moved away from the area. I saw our neighbor three times and she always told me how much she thanked me for caring her and her daughter.
