As a teacher, my daily activity involves driving to a new school almost every day.
On one particular day during my lunch break, I drove to a nearby square to get a coffee. Upon returning to the 36, I realized I had locked my phone and my 37 inside! I had about 15 minutes to get back to the 38. So I hurried into a McDonald’s in the same square, and asked the man at the counter, who happened to be the 39, to call a taxi for me. After I 40 explained my situation to him, he rushed inside to make the phone while I waited anxiously in the restaurant. I had less than 10 minutes to 41 to my school at this point.
A moment later, the manager returned only to tell me that the line was 42, and that he had not been able to 43 the taxi yet. I think both 44 and fear could be seen in my face.
Without a thought, he grabbed his coat and 45 to drive me to the school. Without hesitation, I followed him into his car and got back to the classroom with two minutes to 46 before the bell rang!
This experience made me 47 that out of every seemingly hopeless situation, there is the opportunity for acts of kindness to happen, which has an unimaginable influence on those who receive them.

作者需要马上赶回学校上课，可是钥匙和手机被锁在车里了。作者让一个餐厅经理帮忙叫出租车，可是电话占线。那位经理直接开车把作者送到了学校。
小题1:考查名词。根据上句 I drove to a nearby square to get a coffee 可知，“我”开车去广场喝咖啡，所以此处是指“作者喝完咖啡后返回自己的车”。

We took the bus from the suburb every early morning that summer 3 years ago. One of the passengers was a small 36 man who took the bus to the centre for senior citizens every morning. He walked with a stoop (佝偻) and a sad look on his face when he, with some difficulty, 37 the bus and sat down alone behind the driver. No one ever paid very much attention to him.
Then one 38 morning he said good morning to the driver and smiled before he sat down. The driver 39 guardedly. The rest of us were silent. The next day, the old man boarded the bus energetically, 40 and said in a loud voice: “And a very good morning to you all!” Some of us looked up, amazed, and murmured “Good morning,” 41 . The following weeks we were more alert (留意的). Our friend was now dressed in a nice old suit and a wide out-of-date 42 . The thin hair had been carefully combed. He said good morning to us every day and we 43 began to nod and talk to each other.
One morning he had a bunch of wild flowers in his hand. The driver 44 smilingly and asked:“Have you got yourself a girlfriend, Charlie?”and he nodded shyly and said yes. The other passengers 45 and clapped at him. Charlie bowed and waved the 46 before he sat down on his seat. Every morning after that Charlie always brought a flower. Some of the 47 passengers began bringing him flowers for his bouquet(花束).
The summer went by, and 48 was closing in, when one morning Charlie wasn"t waiting at his usual 49 . When he wasn"t there the next day and the day after that, we started wondering if he was sick or — 50 — on holiday somewhere.
One day, we learned from the staff working in the centre for senior citizens that the elderly 51 was fine, but he hadn"t been coming to the 52 that week. One of his very close friends had died at the weekend. They 53 him back on Monday. How silent we were the rest of the way to work.
The next 54 Charlie was waiting at the stop, stooping a bit more, a little bit more grey, and without a tie. He seemed to have shrinked（缩小）again. Inside the bus was a 55 . All of us sat with our eyes filled with tears and a bunch of wild flowers in our hands.

My parents ran a small restaurant in Seattle. It was open twenty-four hours a day, six days a week. And my first real job, when I was six years old, was 36 the diners’ shoes. My father had done it when he was young, so he taught me 37 to do it well, telling me to 38 to shine the shoes again if the customer wasn’t 39 .
I was proud of working in the restaurant 40 I was also working for the good of the family. But my father 41 said that I had to meet certain standards(标准) to be part of the team. I 42 to be on time, hard-working, and polite to the 43 . I was 44 paid for the work I did at the restaurant. One day I made the mistake of suggesting to Dad that he 45 give me $10 a week. He said, “OK. How about you paying me for three meals a day you have here? And for the times you bring in your friends 46 free soft drinks?” He 47 the amount of money I owed him, about $40 a week.
I remember returning to Seattle after being 48 in the US Army for about two years. I had just been promoted（升职） to Captain at that time. And full of pride, I walked into my parents’ restaurant, but the 49 thing Dad said was, “How about your 50 up tonight?” I couldn’t 51 my ears! I am an officer in the Army! But 52 didn’t matter. As far as Dad was concerned, I was just 53 member of the team. I reached for the mop(拖把).Working for Dad has taught me that the devotion(奉献) to a 54 is above all. It has nothing to do with 55 that team is for a family restaurant or the US Army.

I still remember my first day at school in London and I was half-excited and half-frightened. On my way to school I wondered what sort of questions the other boys would ask me and practiced all the answers: “I am nine years old. I was born here but I haven’t lived here since I was two. I was living in Farley. It’s about thirty miles away. I came back to London two months ago.” I also wondered if it was the custom for boys to fight strangers like me, but I was tall for my age. I hoped they would decide not to risk it.
No one took any notice of me before school. I stood in the center of the playground, expecting someone to say “hello”, but no one spoke to me. When a teacher called my name and told me where my classroom was, one or two boys looked at me but that was all.
My teacher was called Mr. Jones. There were 42 boys in the class, so I didn’t stand out there, either, until the first lesson of the afternoon. Mr. Jones was very fond of Charles Dickens and he had decided to read aloud to us from David Copperfield, but first he asked several boys if they knew Dickens’ birthplace, but no one guessed right. A boy called Brian, the biggest in the class, said: “Timbuktu”, and Mr. Jones went red in the face. Then he asked me. I said: “Portsmouth”, and everyone stared at me because Mr. Jones said I was right. This didn’t make me very popular, of course.
“He thinks he’s clever,” I heard Brian say.
After that, we went out to the playground to play football. I was in Brian’s team, and he obviously had Dickens in mind because he told me to go in goal. No one ever wanted to be the goalkeeper.
“He’s big enough and useless enough.” Brian said when someone asked him why he had chosen me.
I suppose Mr. Jones, who served as the judge, remembered Dickens, too, because when the game was nearly over, Brian pushed one of the players on the other team, and he gave them a penalty (惩罚). As the boy kicked the ball to my right, I threw myself down instinctively (本能地) and saved it. All my team crowded round me. My bare knees were injured and bleeding. Brian took out a handkerchief and offered it to me.
“Do you want to join my gang (帮派)?” he said.
At the end of the day, I was no longer a stranger.

I was the youngest of five boys and also had four sisters who had to pull together and take care of each other. Dad wasn"t around, so I never knew him well. He killed himself when I was three years old, leaving mom with the job of raising nine kids. She was a very hard worker, and in order to make ends meet, she hardly ever rested. With my mom as my example, I learned that hard work is the best way to get what you want.
Even as a little boy, I knew I was going to be successful. Regardless of what I chose, I wanted to make my brothers, sisters and mom proud of me—not only by being successful in what I chose to do, but also as a person who could be looked up to for the right reasons.
Surprising as it might seem, basketball wasn"t in my plans. One day, my mom cut a rim(边缘) off an old water barrel(水桶) and then held it up for me to throw an old rubber ball through. By junior high, I started playing basketball on a team. I loved to compete. For me, it paid off. I always put the effort in, every day.
I am grateful for the life I"ve enjoyed as a basketball star. Basketball is not life. It can be exciting. But the most important thing about basketball is that it gives me a way to do good things for others as I move through this journey called life.
