Michael Jordan told me not to mention this until the season was over and I promised him at that time. Now I think it’s time.

Early last season, I wrote a column about an act of kindness I had seen Jordan do to a disabled child outside the Stadium. After it ran ,I got a call from a man in the western suburbs. He said, “I read what you wrote about Jordan, but I thought I should tell you another thing I saw.” Here it comes, I thought. It always does. Write something nice about a person, and people call you up to say that the person is not so nice.

A few weeks later Jordan and I were talking about something else before a game, and I brought up what the man had said. Was the man right? Has Jordan really been talking to those two boys in that poor and dirty neighborhood?

“Not two boys,” Jordan said, “but four.”

And he named them. He said four names.

And what did they talk about?

“Everything,” Jordan said. “I’ve asked to see their grades so that I can check whether they’re paying attention to their schoolwork. If it turns out one or two of them may need teaching, I make sure they get it.”

It’s just one more part of Michael Jordan’s life, one more thing that no one knows about, one more thing Jordan does right. The NBA season is over now, and those boys have their memories. So do I! When the expert reviewers begin to turn against Jordan, as they surely will, I’ll think about those boys under the streetlight, waiting for the man they know to come, for someone they can depend on.

1.That man called after reading about what Jordan did to a disabled child because he wanted to ____.

A．become famous himself

B．know why Jordan appeared in a poor area

C．let the author know that Jordan was not that nice

D．offer another example to show that Jordan was a nice man

2.What can we learn from this passage?

A．Jordan is not such a great person.

B．Jordan deserves the admiration he had from others.

C．Jordan is always ready to make friends with young people.

D．Jordan is always misunderstood by expert reviewers.

3.What does the underlined word “ran” probably mean?

A．Published.         B．Finished.          C．Disappeared.       D．Drove

4. Which of the following is NOT the reason why the author wrote this passage?

A．He would like to keep the promise he had made.

B．He thought it was time to help the disabled children.

C．He hated to see Jordan become someone else’s target.

D．He was impressed by Jordan’s deeds for the ordinary poor.

5. What’s the purpose of the writer writing the passage?

I woke up this morning. There is an empty feeling that I have had so many times before and it seems to be coming back into my mind. What is it? I can’t figure it out.

I got ready for work. On the way I decide to stop and get a cheese from the little shop just down the road. I have never been there before but I was hungry and it would be 5 hours before I got off work.

The owner of the store took my order. He asked me what I wanted and I told him I heard he made a great cheese. He seemed pleased to hear that.

As I was sitting in the small space，there was an elderly gentleman finishing his breakfast. He paid the waitress, received this change and made a small joke. As he turned to get up, which was quite a difficult feat for this gentleman, he looked over at me. I gave a small smile.

He looked again in my direction for a moment and said to me, “Has anyone ever told you, you have the most beautiful brown eyes?”

Seeing as I have blue eyes, I can’t say I have ever heard that before. I humored him and said, “No, I can’t say anyone has ever told me that before.”

He smiled, and said,“Well since they are blue you wouldn’t have heard that, but you have beautiful blue eyes.”

I laughed and said thank you very much. He began to tell me a few one liner jokes so I smiled and laughed at his jokes.

He tried to get up to leave again and looked at me and said“Your smile really brightens a room, do you know that?”I said,“Thank you very much.”

He proceeded to get up, which took him quite some time. As he got up he said,“Take care of that smile.”

I felt a sense of comfort wash over me and I reflected on my morning and that empty feeling I had. For a moment in time it seemed to be filled.

My wife and I used to feel that it was impossible to be a true friend to someone whose name we didn’t know. How wrong we were! Years of Sunday-morning bus trips through the city with the same group of “nameless” people have changed our thinking.

Before the bus takes off, we all join in a conversation: where’s the silent woman who sits up front and never responds to our cheery greetings? Here she comes. Her worn clothing suggests she doesn’t have much money to spare, but she always takes an extra cup of coffee for the driver.

We get smiles from a Mexican couple as they get on the bus hand in hand. When they get off, they’re still holding hands. The woman was pregnant late last year, and one day her change of shape confirmed that she’d delivered the child. We even felt a little pride at the thought of our extended family.

For many months, our only sadness lay in our inability无能无力 to establish the same friendship with the silent woman at the front of the bus. Then, one evening, we went to a fish restaurant. We were shown to a table alongside someone sitting alone. It was the woman from the bus.

We greeted her with friendly familiarity we’d shown all year, but this time her face softened, then a shy smile. When she spoke, the words escaped awkwardly( 笨拙地) from her lips. All at once we realized why she hadn’t spoken to us before. Talking was hard for her.

Over dinner; we learned the situation of a single mother with a disabled son who was receiving special care away from home. She missed him desperately不顾一切地, she explained.

“I love him… and he loves me, even though he doesn’t express it very well,” she murmured. “Lots of us have that problem, don’t we? We don’t say what we want to say, what we should be saying. And that’s not good enough.”

The candles flared on our tables. Our fish had never tasted better. But the atmosphere grew pleasant, and when we parted as friends—we shared names.

1.Which of the following might be the best title of this passage?

2.All the following statements can describe the woman except ______.

3.The underlined word “establish” in the fourth passage probably has the same meaning as _____.

4.The woman had the same problem with her son in the way that ______.
