I recently bought a house and moved in the first weekend of July.
Since I have been in my new neighborhood, I have had the pleasure of meeting a few of my neighbors who seem to be extremely nice people. For Christmas, I thought I would do something nice for each of the neighbors that I know. I sat down and counted. There were nine neighbors but I decided to add one more person to my list for a total of ten. This lady that I decided to add lives down the street from me. I meet her every morning walking to work as I drive down the street. She always manages a sweet smile and a hearty wave. I had no idea what her name was and was not even sure which house she lived in.
My gift idea was to make small fruit baskets and leave them on each of my neighbors’ front porches or door-steps the night of Christmas Eve for them to find, either that night or the next morning. I signed the cards—“Happy Holidays from 5104 Northumberland Road.”
My neighbors really appreciated the baskets and would tell me as they saw me in the yard or they would call, and a couple even came by to thank me.
This morning on my way to work, I placed my mail in the mailbox and noticed a small note inside. It was addressed simply “Resident,5104 Northumberland Road.”
I opened the envelope and took out a Thank You card. I opened the card and read the message which really caught me by surprise.
The card said:“Thank you for the lovely fruit basket you left on the porch of Richard Kelly. It was very thoughtful. Richard Kelly passed away less than a month ago. He never stopped talking about how nice it was that someone remembered him in his time of illness. He really appreciated it.”
I was sincerely moved. I had no idea who Richard Kelly was or that he had been seriously ill. I had left that nice lady’s basket on Mr. Kelly’s porch by accident.
65. Which of the following statements can be supported by the passage?
A. What a pity it was that the lady didn’t receive her gift!
B. A mistake made by chance caused an excellent result.
C. Richard Kelly was so lucky to receive the gift.
D.A careless man made a careless mistake.
66.The reason why the writer wanted to send gifts was that        .
A. he intended to show his friendship to his new neighbors
B. he wanted to gain respect from his new neighbors
C. he intended to express his love to his neighbors
D. he planned to make friends with his new neighbors
67.Who knew the truth of the gift to Richard Kelly according to the passage?
A. The young lady.          B. Richard Kelly.
C. The writer.              D. The writer of the Thank You card.
68.It can be inferred from the passage that the writer was     .
A. moved and pitiful         B. moved and excited
C. interesting and funny      D. shocked and sorry

The Pecan Thief
When I was six years old, I was visiting my grandfather’s
farm in Kansas. Grandpa had sent me into the  36  to gather
pecans for us to enjoy later.
Pecan picking was really  37  work and my little basket
was only half full. I wasn’t about to  38  Grandpa down. Just
then something caught my  39  . A large brown squirrel was
a few feet away. I watched as he picked up a pecan, hurried to a tree and   40  in a large hole in the trunk. A moment later the squirrel  41 out and climbed down to the ground to pick up another nut. Once again, he took the pecan back to his hiding place.
Not so  42  anymore, I thought. I dashed over to the tree and looked into the hole. It was   43  with pecans! Golden pecans were right there for taking. This was my  44 . Handful by handful, I scooped all of those pecans into my basket. Now it was full! I was so  45  of myself. I couldn’t wait to show Grandpa all the pecans.   46  , I ran back and shouted, “Look at all the pecans!” He looked into the basket and said, “Well, well, how did you find so many?” I told him how I’d   47  the squirrel and taken the pecans from his hiding place.
Grandpa congratulated me on how smart I’d been in observing the squirrel and his habits. Then he did something that  48  me. He handed the basket back to me and put his arm gently  49 my shoulders.
“That squirrel worked very hard to gather his winter  50  of food,” he said. “Now that all of his pecans are gone, don’t you think that little squirrel will  51  the cold winter? ”
“I didn’t think about that, ” I said.
“I know,” Grandpa said. “But a good man should never take  52  of someone else’s hard work.”
Suddenly I felt a bit  53  . The image of the starving squirrel wouldn’t   54  my mind. There was only one thing I could do. I carried the basket back to the tree and poured all the nuts into the hole.
I didn’t eat any pecans that night, but I had something much more filling—the  55  of knowing I had done just the right thing.

Some people bring out the best in you in a way that you might never have fully realized on your own.My mother was one of those people.
My father died when I was one-year-old.While I was growing up, we led a very hard life, but my mom gave me a lot of love.Each night, she seated me on her lap and, spoke the words that would change my life, "Kemmons, you are sure to be a great man and you can do anything in life if you work hard enough to get it."
At fourteen, I was hit by a car and the doctors said that I would never walk again.Every night my mother spoke to me in her gentle, loving voice, telling me whatever those doctors said, I could walk again if I wanted to.She drove that message so deep into my heart that I finally believed her.A year later, I walked on my own to school!
When the Great Depression broke out, my mother lost her job.Then I left school to support the two of us.At that moment I decided never to be poor again.
Over the years, I experienced a lot of business success.But the real turning point happened on a vacation I took with my wife and five kids in 1951.I was dissatisfied with the second-class hotels available for families and was very angry that they charged an extra $2 for each child.That was too expensive for an ordinary American family.I told my wife that I was going to open a motel (汽车旅馆) for families that would never charge extra money for children.Many people did not believe me at that time.
Not surprisingly, mom was my strongest supporter.As in any business, I experienced a lot of difficulties.But with my mom"s words in my heart, I never doubted I would succeed.Fifteen years later, I had the largest hotel system in the world—Holiday Inn.In 1979 my company had 1,759 inns in more than fifty countries with an income of $l billion a year.
You may not have started out life in the best situations.But if you find a task in life worth working for and believe in yourself, nothing can stop you.
