One day, a poor boy was so hungry that he decided to beg for a meal at the next house. However, he lost his nerve when a lovely young woman opened the door. Instead of a meal he asked for a drink of water. She thought he looked hungry so she brought him a large glass of milk. He drank it slowly, and then asked, “How much do I own you?” “You don't owe me anything,” she replied, “Mother has taught me never to accept pay for a kindness.” “Then I thank you from the bottom of my heart.” With these words, Howard Kelly left that house.
Year later the woman became badly ill and was finally sent to the hospital in a big city. Dr. Howard Kelly, now famous, was called in. When he heard the name of the town she came from, a strange light filled his eyes. Dressed in his doctor's clothes, Dr. Kelly went into her room and recognized her at once. From that day on, he gave special attention to her, and decided to do his best to save her life.
After a long struggle, the battle was won. Dr. Kelly asked the business office to pass the final bill to him. He looked at it and then wrote something on the side. The bill was sent to her room. She was afraid to open it because she was sure that it would take the rest of her life to pay it off. Finally she looked, and the note on the side of the bill caught her attention: “Paid in full with a glass of milk. Dr. Howard Kelly.”

Mark was walking home from school one day when he saw the boy in front of him fall over and drop all of the books he was carrying, along with two sweaters, a basketball and a walkman（随身听）. Mark stopped and helped the boy pick up these things. Since they were going the same way, he helped to carry some of his things. As they walked, Mark knew that the boy’s name was Bill, that he loved computer games, basketball and history, and that he was having lots of troubles with his other subjects and that he had just broken up with his girlfriend.
They arrived at Bill’s home first and Mark was invited in for a Coke and to watch some television. The afternoon passed happily with a few laughs and some small talk, and then Mark went home.

At last just three weeks before they finished high school, Bill asked Mark if they could talk.
Bill asked Mark if he still remembered the day years ago when they had first met. “Did you ever think why I was carrying so many things home that day?” asked Bill. “You see, I cleaned out my locker(锁柜) because I didn’t want to leave anything for anyone else. I had put away some of my mother’s sleeping pills and I was going home to kill myself. But after we spent some time together talking and laughing, I began to understand that if I killed myself, I would have missed that time and so many others that might follow. So you see, Mark, when you picked up those books that day, you did a lot more. You saved my life.”

Off-duty firefighter Roben Duge smelled the smoke, saw the flames and heard the screams from his neighbor's house and thought instantly of his own family. The heroic smoke eater pulled a grandmother and two children from a burning house, on Thursday night, while walking home from his job at Ladder 103 in Brooklyn.
“I’m not a hero, I'm just reacting off instinct (本能),” the fearless father said on Friday at home, right next door to the fire-damaged house. His wife Crystal disagreed “It’s just who he is.” He is a superman.
The mild-mannered firefighter was heading home from the subway when he noticed the thick black smoke pouring out of his neighbor’s house. “A child playing downstairs in the basement accidentally started the fire and he was too frightened to tell his grandmother as the flames spread quickly,” reporters said. Duge, a five-year FDNY experienced firefighter, started rushing toward the two-storeyed residence when he saw the smoke. Visions of his own three kids flashed through his mind. “When I heard the kids screaming, I realized it from the bottom of my heart,” Duge told the Daily Neivs. “I thought how I could get in deep enough because I didn’t have any equipment and I didn’t know how dangerous it was.”
The grandmother, a stroke victim, was merely able to get around on her own when he made his way inside. “The lady could stand up, but she needed assistance to walk and the kids were screaming and scared to death,” said Duge.
After getting the three residents out of their house, he assisted them over to his home. The fire was brought under control about half an hour after it started. Duge, reflecting on his daring rescue, shrugged (耸肩) off the praise that was arrived via text and voicemail from fellow firefighters. “We often operate in chaos and we do put ourselves at risk,” said the FDNY officer.
1.Who was supposed to blame for the fire?
A.Duge’s kids. B.The old lady.
C.Duge’s wife. D.The neighbor’s kid.
2.What did Duge find when he entered the burning house?
A.The lady sat on the floor. B.The kids were frightened.
C.The firefighters arrived. D.The smoke was disappearing.
3.What did Duge think of the praise for him?
A.He thought what he had done deserved it.
B.He viewed it as a big surprise.
C.He owed it to his fellow firefighters’ help.
D.He cared little about it.
