    A woman repeated a bit of gossip (流言) about a neighbour. Within a few days the whole neighbourhood
knew the story. The neighbour was deeply hurt. Later the woman responsible (负责) for spreading the gossip
learned that it was completely untrue. She was very sorry and went to a wise old man to find out what she
could do to repair the harm.
    "Go to the marketplace," he said, "and buy a chicken, and have it killed, then on your way home, pluck (拔)
its feathers and drop them one by one along the road." Although surprised by this advice, the woman did what
she was told.
    The next day the wise man said, "Now, go and collect all those feathers you dropped yesterday and bring
them back to me."
    The woman followed the same road, but she was so discouraged when she found the wind had blown all
the feathers away. After searching for hours, she returned with only three in her hand.
    "You see," said the old man, "it"s easy to drop them, but it"s impossible to get them back. So it is with
gossip. It doesn"t take much to spread a gossip, but once you do, you can never completely undo the wrong."
1. The woman was very ______ the harm she had done to her neighbour.
[     ]
A. happy about
B. angry about

3. What the wise man said has nearly the same meaning as the Chinese phrase "______".
[     ]
A. 覆水难收
B. 无中生有
C. 欲速不达

    I was cleaning out an old box when an old card caught my eye: Queen City Casket Company. "What is
it?" I wondered. I turned it over. There, in faded ink, was a hand-written address. Immediately my mind
traveled many years back. 
    I was nine years old, walking down the cold and wet streets of Springfield, with a bag of magazines on
my shoulder. That day, I came to the company finally, whose owner, Mr Rader, had always taken me there
to ask his workers if they wanted any magazines.
     Shaking off the rain like a wet dog, I went into Mr Rader"s office. After a quick look he took me over to
the fireplace. Noticing the hole in the top of my shoe, he said, "Come with me!" and pulled me into his car.
We stopped in front of a shoe store. Inside, a salesman fitted me with the finest pair of shoes I had ever seen.
I felt about 10 feet tall when I got up in them. "We"d like a pair of new socks, too." Mr Rader said.
     Back in his office, Mr Rader took out a card, wrote something on it and handed it to me. With tearful
eyes, I read, "Do to others as you would have them do to you." He said kindly, "Jimmy, I want you to know
I love you."
     I said good-bye, and for the first time I sensed a piece of hope that things would be better. With people
like Mr Rader in the world, there was hope, kindness and love, and that would always make a difference.
1. The writer went to Queen City Casket Company to ______.
[     ]
A. borrow some money
B. ask Mr Rader for help
C. sell magazines
D. find a job there
2. From the passage we can see the writer was ______ to Mr Rader.
[     ]
A. helpful
B. grateful
C. polite
D. kind
3. Mr Rader helped the writer so much mainly because ______.
[     ]
A. he wanted to set a good example to his workers
B. he wanted to show kindness to the boy
C. the writer needed his help
D. he wanted others to return his help
4. What does the underlined sentence mean?
[     ]
A. If you want somebody"s help, you have to help him first.
B. You should do the things that others want you to do.
C. Before you do anything, think about what others do to you.
D. If you want others to do kind things to you, you"d better be kind to them.
