hand shaking from 7 , he input the wrong code. The robbers beat him and even 8 him. Luckily, Jerry was found 9 quickly after the robbers had fled and he was rushed to the local first aid center. After 18
hours of operation and weeks of good care, he was out of hospital with fragments (碎片) of the bullets still in his body.

and there was such a beautiful smile on her face. She took hold of my hand as she said just the words
"Thank you" and she died.
I could not help but examine my conscience before her and I asked what I would say if I was in her
place. And my answer was very simple. I would have tried to draw a little attention to myself. I would have said I am hungry, I am dying, I am cold, I am in pain, or something, but she gave me much more-she
gave me her grateful love. And she died with a smile on her face. So did that man whom we picked up
from the drain, half eaten with worms, and we brought him to the home. "I have lived like an animal in the
street, but I am going to die like an angel, loved and cared for", he said at the end. And it was so
wonderful to see the greatness of that man who could speak like that, who could die like that without
blaming anybody, without cursing anybody, without comparing anything. Like an angel-this is the
greatness of our people. And that is why we believe what Jesus has said: I was hungry, I was naked, I was homeless, I was unwanted, unloved, uncared for, and you did it to me.
And with this prize that I received as a Prize of Peace, I am going to try to make the home for many
people who have no home. Because I believe that love begins at home and if we can create a home for the poor I think that more and more love will spread. And we will be able through this understanding love to
bring peace, the good news to the poor, the poor in our own family first, in our country and in the world. When I pick up a person from the street, hungry and I give him a plate of rice or a piece of bread, I have
satisfied. I have removed that hunger. But to a person who is shut out, who feels unwanted, unloved,
terrified, who has been thrown out from society, that poverty is so full of hurt and so unbearable… And so let us always meet each other with a smile, for the smile is the beginning of love, and once we begin to love each other naturally we want to do something.
B. The man couldn"t blame anyone.
C. The author is religious.
D. The man died in the street.
B. to call on the public to love each other
C. to tell the readers the poor are wonderful
D. to express how moved the author is to receive the prize
B. The author was somewhat surprised at what the man said.
C. The author is delighted to help others in trouble.
D. The author may agree to solve social problems in soft ways.
B. The Poor are Wonderful
C. Smile and Love
D. Relieve Poverty
He wanted to be a successful doctor, but for some reasons he never found enough patients.
To pass the time, he began to write stories and send them to the newspapers.
