up their cars, Trevor, my husband, had to get up early to ride his bike four kilometers away from home to work.
On arrival, he parked his bike outside the back door as he usually does. After putting in 10 hours of labor, he
returned to find his bike gone.
The bike, a black Kona 18 speed, was our only transport. Trevor used it to get to work, putting in 60-hour
weeks to support his young family. And the bike was also used to get groceries (食品杂货), saving us from
having to walk long distances from where we live.
I was so sad that someone would steal our bike that I wrote to the newspaper and told them our story.
Shortly after that, several people in our area offered to help. One wonderful stranger even bought a bike, then
called my husband to pick it up. Once again my husband had a way to get to and from his job. It really is an
honor that a complete stranger would go out of their way for someone they have never met before.
People say that a smile can be passed from one person to another, but acts of kindness from strangers are
even more so. This experience has had a spreading effect in our lives because it strengthened our faith in
humanity (人性) as a whole. And it has influenced (影响) us to be more mindful of ways we, too, can share
with others. No matter how big or how small, an act of kindness shows that someone cares. And the results
can be everlasting.
B. It was their only possession.
C. It was a nice Kona 18 speed.
D. They used it for work and daily life.
B. people were busy before Christmas
C. the stranger brought over the bike
D. life was hard for the young family
B. From a newspaper.
C. From TV news.
D. From a stranger.
B. One should take care of their bike.
C. News reports make people famous.
D. An act of kindness can mean a lot.

two elder sisters. I 1 playing with them, but still, secretly, I hoped for a store-bought 2 like the one our
rich cousin had. Her doll 3 open and close its blue glass eyes and even say "Mamma". I 4 stopped
admiring it and hoping to have one.
However, my dream 5 came true when I was six. One day my father came back from his business trip
with three 6 dolls! They were much smaller than our cousin"s doll and their eyes were just painted ones, but
I did not 7 such differences. They were 8 "store-bought" dolls. We each chose one and I named 9
Misako.
Soon my sisters and I became 10 . Our"children" kept us 11 all day. We gave them a bath, 12 them,
brushed their hair, took them out for a walk and put them to bed. Several months later, they got more like real
children-their 13 and bodies became dirtier; their dresses got stained; their hair less smooth.
But, by then, 14 interests seemed to have moved into 15 toys. Their dolls were abandoned (被抛弃)
and in bad condition. One had 16 one of her arms, and 17 was one-legged."You can 18 them if you
want," my sisters said to me. Thus, I had 19 dolls. They were more or less handicapped (残疾) and they
often looked at me as if they needed me to 20 them. I enjoyed this feeling of being needed-being the only
one in the world who could protect them with a lot of love. Indeed, they made the rest of my childhood days
very happy.

| No one is glad to hear that his body has to be cut open by a surgeon (外科医生) and part of it taken out. Today, however, we needn"t worry about feeling pain during the operation. The sick person falls into a kind of sleep, and when he awakes, the operation is finished. But these happy conditions are fairly new. It is not many years since a man who had to have operation felt all its pain. Long ago, operation had usually to be done while the sick man could feel everything. The sick man had to be held down on a table by force while the doctors did their best for him. He could feel all the pain if his leg or arm was being cut off, and his fearful cries filled the room and the hearts of those who watched. Soon after 1770, Josept Priestley discovered a gas which is now called "laughing gas". Laughing gas became known in America. Young men and women went to parties to try it. Most of them spent their time laughing, but one man at a party, Horace Wells, noticed that people didn"t seem to feel pain when they were using this gas. He decided to make an experiment on himself. He asked a friend to help him. Wells took some of the gas, and his friend pulled out one of Well"s teeth. Wells felt no pain at all. As he didn"t know enough about laughing gas, he gave a man less gas than he should have. The man cried out with pain when his tooth was being pulled out. Wells tried again, but this time he gave too much of the gas, and the man died. Wells never forgot this terrible event. | ||||||||||||

| The clock struck eleven at night. The whole house was quiet. Everyone was in bed except me. Under the strong light, I looked sadly before me at a huge pile of that troublesome stuff (东西) they call "books". I was going to have my examination the next day."When can I go to bed?" I asked myself. I didn"t answer, In fact I dared not. The clock struck twelve."Oh, dear!" I cried."Ten more books to read before I can go to bed!" We pupils are the most unhappy creatures in the world. Dad does not agree with me on this. He did not have to work so hard when he was a boy. The clock struck one. I was quite desperate (绝望的) now. I forgot all I had learned. I was too tired to go on. I did the only thing I could. I prayed, "Oh, God, please help me pass the exam tomorrow. I do promise to work hard afterwards, Amen." My eyes were so heavy that I could hardly open them. A few minutes later, with my head on the desk, I fell asleep. | ||||||||||||

| I ran into a stranger as he passed by, and I at once apologized to him. We were both very 1 , the stranger and I. Then we went 2 our way after saying good-bye. But at home a 3 story is told. Later that day, when I 4 supper in the kitchen, my daughter suddenly stood behind me very 5 . When I turned back, I 6 knocked her down."Don"t be in my 7 !" I shouted angrily.

I hugged her and said, "Daughter, I love you too, and I do like the flowers." Through this 20 , I realize what FAMILY means: FAMILY=(F)ATHER (A)ND (M)OTHER, (I) (L)OVE (Y)OU | ||||||||||||
