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____________.

C. more people would be inspired to do good deeds
D. he would become a friend of the servant

It was Thanksgiving morning and in the crowded kitchen of my small home I was busy preparing the traditional Thanksgiving turkey when the doorbell rang. I opened the front door and saw two small children in rags huddling together. “Any old papers, lady?” asked one of them.
I was busy. I wanted to say “no” until I looked down at their feet. They were wearing thin little sandals, wet with heavy snow.
“Come in and I’ll make you a cup of hot cocoa.”
They walked over and sat down at the table. Their wet sandals left marks upon the floor. I served them cocoa and bread with jam to fight against the cold outside. Then I went back to the kitchen and started again on my household budget.
The silence in the front room struck me. I looked in. The girl held the empty cup in her hands, looking at it. The boy asked in a flat voice, “Lady, are you rich?”
I looked at my shabby slipcovers. The girl put her cup back in its saucer carefully and said, “Your cups match your saucers.” Her voice was hungry with a need that no amount of food could supply. They left after that, holding their bundles of papers against the wind. They hadn’t said “Thank you.” They didn’t need to. They had reminded me that I had so much for which to be grateful. Plain blue china cups and saucers were only worth five pence. But they matched.
I tasted the potatoes and stirred the meat soup. Potatoes and brown meat soup, a roof over our heads, my man with a good steady job—these matched, too.
I moved the chairs back from the fire and cleaned the living room. The muddy prints of small sandals were still wet upon my floor. Let them be for a while, I thought, just in case I should begin to forget how rich I am.
1.Two children came to the writer’s front door because _________________.
A．it was Thanksgiving Day B．they were beggars
C．they wanted old papers D．they wanted a cup of cocoa
2.Why did the writer let the children in?
A．She showed great pity on them
B．She had old papers to sell
C．She wanted to invite them to her Thanksgiving feast
D．She wanted them to see how rich she was
3.The girl thought the writer was rich perhaps because ________________.
A．she saw that the lady’s room was comfortable
B．she saw the cups matched the saucers
C．the writer’s slipcovers were very new
D．the writer was preparing a big meal while she was too hungry.
4.From the passage, we can infer that whether you are rich depends on ________.
A．how much money you have had
B．how you feel about your life
C．how you have helped others
D．what job your husband is doing
5.The writer left the muddy prints of small sandals on the floor for a while to ____________.
A．show her husband that someone had come
B．remind her that she had helped two children
C．remind her that she was very rich in the neighborhood
D．remind her how life should be

阅读下面短文，根据所给情节进行续写，使之构成一个完整的故事。
Once upon a time in my family，the Saturday after Thanksgiving was the start of our annual big tamale (玉米粽子)－making party. We made them to share with friends and neighbors.
Preparation began with Daddy and the cleaning of the corn husks(外壳). First he boiled them and left them in the water overnight. No husk passed inspection without being soft enough for folding. The next day，the rest of us got to work. My brothers and uncles were on hand for cleanup duty. And there was much to clean up as we women prepared the dough (生面团) made of corn. We also prepared the meat for the filling. The dough had to be spread evenly across the husk，and each tamale folded carefully so it would not split open during steaming.
According to the long－standing tradition—at least in my family—no one was allowed to leave the kitchen during the steaming. This could ruin the process. After all，no one wanted a bad tamale!
I thought the family tamale－making party would go on forever，but to continue a family__tradition，you needed to have family. Mine had changed forever. My father，two of my brothers and my uncle died in a short span of time. Mom and I spent months in a state of sad loss. At Christmas friends asked，“Are we going to get tamales this year？” Passing tamales out to friends was one of the great joys of the season，after all. But we couldn’t face it. Eventually，as the years went by，people stopped asking.
One afternoon，just before Thanksgiving，my mother and I pushed an empty shopping cart through the supermarket. I rounded the corner into the next room and found her standing in front of a counter: packages of dough，bags of corn husks，dried spices—all the materials for a perfect tamale. “It’s time，” Mom said. I knew she was right. We set aside a Saturday to spend in the kitchen，just the two of us，alone with our thoughts.
