Poor, but so rich at heart

Two years ago, my parents died in a car accident. __(A)__then, my elder brother and I have had to work part-time to make a living. I have been working as a part-time waiter in a restaurant for six months, and now I’ve just got my salary(薪水).

I was walking back to school and saw the notice board in the lobby(大厅). There was a notice __(B)___ for donations for the earthquake. A girl called Amanda was reading the same notice.____(C)____. You could see that easily from her fancy clothes and gadgets(小玩意儿).

“Aren’t you going to donate?” I asked, (D)“People there must be having a really hard time. All their houses have been destroyed by the earthquake. They’ve got nothing ____(E)____, no place to live, nothing to eat or…”

“Sorry, I don’t have money to spend on that!” she laughed. “I have 10 new dresses to buy. I need to get a new phone. And then I’m ____(F)___ to fly to Paris for the weekend.” (G)With these words, she walked away.

I took the money from my pocket and walked to Mrs. Tawreen’s office.

“Excuse me, ma’am.” I said. “I don’t have too much for a donation, just 300 yuan. Could I just donate this?”

Mrs. Tawreen smiled: “Wow, 300 yuan, my dear? Well, (H)I have to tell you that, of all the donations we’ve received from our students so far, it’s the largest amount. And yes, you may donate right now.”

I put the notes into the donation box. Maybe my brother and I would have to miss a few meals this month, but it would make a difference to the lives of those less fortunate(幸运的) than us.

九年级英语完型填空中等难度题查看答案及解析

I had unpleasant experiences in a summer five years ago. My father died in a car accident,

leaving my mother, my two younger brothers and I alone. At that time, I was a senior high

school student. After my father’s funeral, I had no choice but to drop out of school and work in

a factory.

I really wanted to return to school and wanted to go to college, but I couldn`t. I only hoped

to bring up my two younger brothers. Life was not easy for me, for I can’t afford their tuition

even if I worked from day to night without stopping. Without my father’s protection, I thought

I was a slave (奴隶) to the fate.

Later on, something changed my life. I still remember that it was a rainy day. I put myself

in the rain and walked slowly in the street.

Suddenly the rain stopped! I raised my head and found “the sky” was in fact a dark blue

umbrella. Then I noticed a middle-aged man with one leg on crutch standing behind me. He

said to me, “Why not run without an umbrella? If you didn`t run, you would get drenched.”

The man told me that he was promoter. He once dreamed of being a policeman, but an

accident ruined his dream. Though his present job was not suitable for his legs, it was a

wonderful start to him. He was very happy that he didn`t lose heart and still “ran” on the road

of life…

I was encouraged by the man’s words. I went to a big city and I became an assurance

representative (担保代表). After two years’ running, I did well and my family condition turned

better little by little. Later I returned to school and succeeded in my entrance to university.

Life is like this. When you are in rainy days in your life, if you couldn`t find a way to

prevent you from being wet, you would be overwhelmed. But if you decide to get rid of it,

you`ll discover that the rainy days last not so long as you imagine.

1.What happened to the writer at the beginning of the story?

A. His father died in a car accident six years ago.

B. He had to drop out of school to look after his sick mother.

C. He couldn`t afford his two brothers’ tuition even if he worked from day to night.

D. He didn`t have money to hold the funeral for his father.

2.About the middle-aged man with one leg on crutch, which of the following is not true?

A. He had dreamed of being a policeman.

B. He was a promoter.

C. He lost one leg in an accident.

D. He had a good job which was suitable for him very well.

3.What does the underlined mean in Chinese?

A. wet　　 B. very dry　　 C. quite nervous　　 D. really comfortable

4.What’s the main idea of the sixth paragraph?

A. The writer didn`t want to listen to the middle-aged man and left without any word.

B. The writer made friends with the middle-aged man and they got on well with

each other.

C. The writer had to give up his dream and became a promoter as the middle-aged man.

D. The writer learned from the middle-aged man and the situation got better.

5.Which is the best title for the passage?

A. Run out of the Rainy Season of Your Life.

B. Care for the Disabled Person.

C. Try to Be Independent.

D. Get to Know More About Middle-aged People.

“Promise me I’ll die in my own bed and I won’t die alone.”

There it was. Almost three years ago Dad asked me to make those promises. I said yes. And yet, I broke both. I gazed at my two-year-old son. Today is his birthday.

“Promise me...” The voice came from the grave(坟墓). Or was it simply my own guilt(内疚) ridden imagination? Whichever, I wished it would leave me alone and let me enjoy my son’s birthday.　

Over two years ago, I broke my first promise. But what else could I have done? The battle(战斗) against his cancer was lost. All that was left was to keep him comfortable and manage his pain. My sisters and I decided his remaining days would be in a hospital. Determined to keep the other promise, I made sure he was never alone. And then came that day.

It was early morning. I was alone with Dad, waiting for my sisters to come and spare me. I heard my dad’s breath, his only voice for over a week, when my phone rang. The baby was coming. A nurse directed me to see my wife, two floors up. Yes, everything was fine. “Shall I show you to the family waiting room?” I refused, thanking the nurse as I headed down the stairs. But too late. I broke my second promise. Dad had died alone. Joy, guilt. My son and my broken promise.

The voice came again. I cried, head buried in my hands. I felt two little but strong hands, pulling my own hands away from my face. “Grandpapa!” My son shouted while leading me into the living room and pointed to a drawer in the desk. I opened the drawer and took out the picture—my dad’s.

How had he known about that photo? How did he know it was his grandfather? I had never taken it out of the drawer since shortly after my dad’s death. A new life entering the world exactly the moment an old one leaves. Could these two lives have somehow passed each other, maybe even knew each other? Perhaps Dad didn’t die alone after all.

1.The underlined word “it” in paragraph 3 refers to __________.

A.his father’s voice B.his guilt C.his father’s grave D.his promise

2.The writer made his father stay in hospital for his last days to __________.

A.let his father die alone B.wait for the grandson to come

C.keep him comfortable and manage his pain D.fight against his cancer in hospital

3.What caused the writer to break his second promise?

A.His sisters didn’t come to the hospital as they promised.

B.His father didn’t want to get any treatment about his cancer.

C.He could hear nothing but his father’s breath in the hospital.

D.His son was born almost the same time his father passed away.

4.How would the writer probably feel after that day?

A.Joyful. B.Relieved. C.Upset. D.Nervous.

Four years ago, I, a 17-year-old girl, arrived at Wellesley College. I cried when my parents dropped me off in my dormitory (宿舍). I thought to myself, “This is what loneliness feels like.” Just at that time, I had forgotten how excited I was for college.

Four years has nearly passed, I am now 21 years old, just two months from graduating from college. Once again, I have reached a critical juncture (紧要关头) in my life where I am going to be alone in a new way.

In four years, I have experienced a lot, happy time, sad moment and ordinary days. How grateful I am for the ones who have shown me the way and taught me to be strong when I felt hopeless. How lucky I am to know that I have a home to return to, a home where chaos (混乱) and arguments may occur, but where I still feel safe. A place where I am loved unconditionally, regardless of my mistakes.

Tomorrow, my mother turns 50. It is because of my mother that I’ve learned to love myself, to respect myself, and above all, to be a good person. It is because of her that even throughout all of my hardships and struggles, I have known that giving up is not and will not ever be a choice. It is because of her that I have truly learned the lesson that age is only a number, and what matters is your spirit and character.

My mother and I have sometimes clashed (冲突) head. She is the strongest person I know, the person who I disagree most. She has told me that I am the only person that is responsible for my life. But today I have to tell her that she has been wrong.

She doesn’t realize that there is another person who will never leave me. There’s another person who will always there for me and who will love me forever. That person is her. She is the first person I will call when I am sad, in trouble, or feeling blue. She will never lie to me to spare my feelings (不使我伤心).

I have come so far these fast four years. I still have a long life to live. A life that I hope will be full of adventure, success, and happiness. Although my mum was right when telling me that I am the only one responsible for what happens in my life. Mom, you’ve helped me so far. You are my hero. One day I hope to be like you.

1.When arriving at the dormitory, the writer said she had forgotten 　　 .

A. the loneliness that she had

B. the suggestions that her mother once gave her

C. all of the argument between her and her family members

D. the excitement for entering college

2.What did the writer’s mother NOT teach her?

A. Loving herself.

B. Respecting herself.

C. Being a good person.

D. Giving up when meeting trouble.

3.What does the underlined expression “another person” refer to (指代)?

A. The writer herself.

B. The writer’s father.

C. The writer’s mother.

D. The writer’s brother.

4.When did the writer write this passage?

A. When the writer was 17 years old.

B. After the writer graduated from college.

C. The day before the writer’s mother turned 50.

D. Four years ago when the writer was a college student.
