It was a cold night in Washington, D. C., and I was heading back to the hotel when a man approached me. He asked if l would give him some money so he could get something to eat. I'd read the signs "Don't give money to beggars." So I shook my head and kept walking.
I wasn't prepared for a reply, but he said, "I really am homeless and I really am hungry! You can come with me and watch me eat!" But I kept on walking.
The incident bothered me for the rest of the week. I had money in my pocket and it wouldn't have killed me to hand over a buck or two even if he had been lying. Flying back to Anchorage, I couldn't help thinking of him. I tried to rationalize (找借口)my failure to help by thinking government agencies, churches and charities were there to feed him. Besides, you're not supposed to give money to beggars.
Somewhere over Seattle, I started to write my weekly garden column for The Anchorage Daily News. Out of the blue, I came up with an idea. Bean's Cafe, the soup kitchen in Anchorage, feeds hundreds of hungry Alaskans every day. Why not try to get all my readers to plant one row in their gardens dedicated to Bean's? Dedicate a row and take it down to Bean's. Clean and simple.
The idea began to take off. Readers would fax or call me when they got something in their garden. Those who only grew flowers donated them. Food for the spirit.
In 1995, the Garden Writers Association of America held their annual convention in Anchorage and after learning of Anchorage's program, Plant a Row for Bean's became Plant a Row for the Hungry. The original idea was to have every member of the Garden Writers Association of America write or talk about planting a row for the hungry sometime during the month of April.
As more and more people started working with the Plant a Row idea, new changes appeared unexpectedly. Many companies gave free seed to customers and displayed the logo, which also appeared in national gardening publications. Row markers with the Plant a Row logo were delivered to gardeners to set apart their "Row for the Hungry."
Garden editor Joan Jackson, supported by The San Jose Mercury News and California's nearly year-round growing season, raised more than 30,000 pounds of fruits and vegetables her first year, and showed GWAA how the program could really work. Texas fruit farms donated food to their local food bank after being inspired by Plant a Row. Today the program continues to thrive and grow.
I am surprised that millions of Americans are threatened by hunger. If every gardener in America--and we're seventy million strong--plants one row for the hungry, we can make quite a decrease in the number of neighbors who don't have enough to eat. Maybe then I will stop feeling guilty about abandoning a hungry man I could have helped.
1.What does the underlined phrase "out of the blue" mean?
A. a bit disappointed B. suddenly
C. as a matter of fact D. attentively
2.The program has been supported by many farmers, journalists and people in different fields for many years. They usually donate many things to it except______________ .
A. money B. flowers C. seeds D. beans
3.Which is WRONG according to the passage?
A. In the eyes of most people, the program can really help the people in need.
B. Nowadays, the program is no longer a regional one, and it arouses the attention of many farmers, gardeners and journalists in the nation.
C. It occurred to the author that they could run such a program the moment he gave the beggar nothing.
D. The author felt relieved and surprised when he saw the program turned into a nation-wide one.
4.Which do you think is the best title to the passages?
A. Plant a row for the hungry
B. How to help others
C. A story of a columnist
D. Not for fame and wealth

It was Sunday. I had one last patient to see. I approached her room in a hurry and stood at the doorway. She was an old woman, sitting at the edge of the bed, struggling to put socks on her swollen(肿胀的)feet. I entered, spoke quickly to the nurse and examined her chart. She was getting better.
I looked down at her. She asked if I could help put on her socks. Instead, I said something like this:“ How are you feeling? Your sugars and blood pressure were high but they’re better today. The nurse mentioned you were anxious to see your son who’s visiting you today. I bet you really look forward to seeing him.”
She stopped me with a serious voice, as if she was giving an order. “ Sit down,Doctor.This is my story,not your story. ”
I was surprised and embarrassed. I sat down. I helped her with the socks. She began to tell me that her only son lived around the corner from her, but she had not seen him in five years. She believed that her health problems really had something to do with it. After hearing her story and putting on her socks, I asked if there was anything else I could do for her. She shook her head and smiled. All she wanted me to do was to listen.
Later on, I often thought of what that woman taught me. Everyone has a story and each story is different. Some have a beginning, middle and end. Others wander without a clear conclusion. Yet all those things do not really matter. What matters to the storyteller is that the story is heard—without interruption or judgment.
1. The writer went to visit the older woman to________.
A. 1isten to her story B.tell her good news
C. help her put on her socks D.see if she was getting better
2.What problem did the old woman have?
A. She ate too much sugar.
B. She had high blood pressure.
C. She had too many visits.
D. She liked telling others stories.
3.The underlined word “it” in Paragraph 4 refers to the older woman’s________.
A. not having seen her son for long B. having no one to look after her
C. serious voice when giving orders D. struggling to put socks on her feet
4.What does the story mainly tell us?
A. Everyone should learn to listen to others.
B. Children had better stay with their parents.
C. We all have a story and each one is different.
D. Older women are good at telling their stories.

I was driving home from the gym with my children. It was approaching bed time.
“ My legs hurt, I can’t walk to the car.” said my son, William. Then be sat on the ground regardless of whatever we said.
“Maybe you just need a banana? They’re good for tired bones.” his sister, Meredith, persuaded him in a wise way.
This was the first time I had heard of the banana’s miracle(神奇的) cure for achy bones. It distracted(使分心) William and we were able to make it to the car. His wish for bone relief brought him energy and he persisted(坚持) the entire ride home. Upon arrival, he struggled out of the car and slowly went up 3 steps into the house. While he took his ”medicine”, we arrived on a suitable diagnosis (诊断) for his “illness” ---a serious case of Banana Bone. He was probably just over—tired. He had a long day and played hard in the Adventure Room at the gym. Thankfully we kept some bananas in the fridge, and hugs and kisses were given as a booster (辅助药剂) , which gave him the courage to walk upstairs to sleep.
Banana Bone sounds like something I’ve had before. The aching hasn’t been in my bones so much as in my head and my heart. I think it’s a condition related to stress, lack of rest and stretching of one’s abilities. Perhaps you’re experienced it too. It is about long days facing challenges or pressing against the edges of your own ability without any hope.
That’s when you realize Banana Bone doesn’t have to be a physical illness. It can be mental. It can drive emotion. It means you can choose it or you can choose against it. It’s not real. It’ s your reaction to what’s real. I know, it’ s still not easy. But it’ s part of “growing up”. We must have the courage to overcome it and I believe we can make it﹗
My advice to you? Eat a banana and go to bed. You’ll feel a lot better and be your fresh self in the morning.
1.People need the same kind of “banana” as William did when they_____.
A. feel puzzled over choices
B. are under a stressful condition
C. find it hard to make changes
D. hold on to the wrong things
2.What attitude does the author think we should have towards “Banana Bone” ?
A. Respectful.
B. Supportive.
C. Fearless.
D. Doubtful.
3.When you are suffering “Banana Bone”, you had better______________.
A. distract and refresh yourself
B. stop and wait for a better chance
C. break down your old habits and give up
D. ask doctors for clear guidance
4.What can be the best title for the text?
A. Bone Made of Banana
B. My Daughter’s Trick
C. Miracle Banana
D. Banana Bone
