It was Saturday morning and I asked seven-year-old Kelley to let her daddy take her to gym class. But she didn’t agree. I explained that some friends would visit our house that day and I had to clean the house. But the truth was, I had spent 20 years watching Kelley’s five elder brothers and sisters take lessons and I just wanted to get out of it. However, seeing Kelley was going to cry, I decided to do this once more.
Looking through the door, I watched as the teacher led the students to a rope (绳索) hanging in the corner of the gym. One after another, each child in line climbed up the thick rope while the teacher held it at the bottom. Then it was Kelley’s turn — the youngest in the class. With a big smile, she climbed higher and higher. Then it happened. About halfway up, the teacher loudly warned, “Don’t go up any farther than you’re able to come down.”
Kelley halted... Then slowly moved down all the way to the floor. I knew she was heading to the top of that rope and was perfectly capable (能胜任的) of reaching it. Why did she stop? I questioned her on the way home.
“Kelley, could you have climbed all the way to the top?”
“Yes,” she quietly replied.
“Then why didn’t you keep going?”
Silence.
“Was it because of what the teacher said?” I asked.
She nodded.
I knew it was time to teach.
“Kelley, don’t let anybody make you doubt yourself. Don’t ever let anyone keep you from knowing what you can do... Even though they seem bigger, or smarter or older. Will you remember that?” I said.
“Yes!” She answered quickly.
I was glad I chose to take Kelley to the class and got the chance to teach her an important lesson.
1.The writer did NOT want to take Kelley to gym class at first because she _____.
A.became very tired of it. B.needed to visit some friends
C.had so much housework to do D.had to take lessons herself
2.Seeing Kelley climbing higher and higher, the teacher felt _____.
A.angry B.worried C.proud D.pleased
3.The underlined word “halted” in paragraph 3 means _____.
A.smiled B.stopped C.remembered D.counted
4.According to the passage, which of the following is TRUE?
A.The writer has six children to look after.
B.Kelley would like her father to take her to gymnastics class.
C.The other children in gymnastic class are younger than Kelley.
D.Kelley was very frightened before the teacher’s warning.
5.What did the writer expect Kelley to do?
A.To take care of her safety. B.To follow the teacher’s advice.
C.To do as other students do. D.To have confidence in herself.

It was a bright Saturday morning. I stopped at a café to enjoy a cup of coffee and read the morning newspaper. Suddenly, I felt a hand on the back of my jacket and heard someone say, “Hey Steve! How are you doing?”
Looking back, I saw a man. He looked familiar, but I couldn’t remember where we had met.
The young man also held a cup of coffee, so I asked him to join me. Very soon, his story began to thaw out my memory.
Five years earlier, Johnson was traveling home late on a February night. A heavy snow had arrived that afternoon, and by midnight, the snowdrifts(雪堆)were getting deep. His car was stuck in a snowdrift just down the road from my house.
He walked to my house for help. I helped him pull his car out of the snowdrift and up to the street where the snow had been cleaned away.
This was a normal happening here during the winter. I couldn’t count the times someone has helped me to pull my car from a snowdrift. However, it was an unforgettable experience for him. He was only eighteen at that time, and he said he was very afraid. No one wants to be stuck in a snowdrift at night.
Sometimes, one simple kindness at the right moment can change the direction of a life. So, be kind and helpful.
1.Where did Steve meet Johnson for the first time?
A. At a café. B. At Steve’s house. C. At a bus station. D. On a street.
