Last night I was driving from Harrisburg to Lewisburg, a distance of about 80 miles. It was late, and I was driving          .
At one point along an open highway, I came to a crossroad with a traffic light. I was         on the road by now, but as I came near the light, it turned         , and I braked to a stop. I looked left, right, and behind me. Nothing. No car, no suggestion of headlights,          there I sat, waiting for the light to        , the only human being, for at least a mile in any       .
I started wondering why I         to run the light. I was not afraid of being caught, because there was         no policeman anywhere around and there certainly would have been no         in going through it.
Much later that        , after I'd met with a group in Lewisburg and had climbed into bed near midnight, the question of why I'd stopped for that light         me. I think I stopped         it's part of a contract(契约) we all have with each other. It's not only the law, but it's an agreement we have, and we trust each other to follow          : we don't go through red lights.
We do          we say we'll do. We show up when we say we'll show up.
I was so        of myself for stopping for that red light. And as no one would ever have known what a good person I was on the road from Harrisburg to Lewisburg, I had to tell someone.

A family moved into a house, next to a vacant lot(闲置的地皮). One day, some workers came to start building a house there.
The family’s 5-year-old daughter took an interest in all the activity going on next door and spent much of each day watching the workers. They talked with her, let her sit with them when they had coffee and lunch breaks. They also gave her little jobs to do here and there to make her feel important.
At the end of the first week, they even gave her an envelope(信封)with ten dollars. The little girl took this home to her mother. Her mother told her to take her“pay”to the bank the next day to start a savings account.
When the girl and her mom got to the bank, the clerk was surprised and asked the little girl what she did.
The little girl said,“I worked last week to build the new house next door to us.”
“Oh,” said the clerk, “and will you be working to build the house again this week, too?”
The little girl said, “Yes, of course.”

小题5:Which of the following is TRUE about the girl?

B. She learnt to make a lot of money.
C. She thought she was important.
Barefoot (赤脚的) and dirty, the girl just sat there and watched the people go by. She never tried to speak. She never said a word. Many people        , but never did one person stop.
The next day, I decided to go back to the park, being curious if the little girl would still be there. Right in the very spot as she was the day before, she sat, with the         look on her face.
As I began walking towards her, I could see the back of the little girl’s dress showed a deformity (畸形的). As I got closer, the little girl slightly          her eyes to avoid (避开) my stare.
I sat down beside her and opened with a simple        . The little girl stammered (结结巴巴地说) a hi. I smiled and she shyly smiled back. We talked         darkness fell and the park was completely empty.
“Why are you so sad?”
She replied slowly, “Because I’m        .”
“Little girl,” I said in a soft voice, “You          me of an angel because of your difference.”
She stood to her feet excitedly, “Really?”
“Yes, that’s the thing. You’re like a little angel sent to watch over all those people walking by.”
She nodded her head and smiled, “       I am. And since you think of someone        yourself, my job here is done.”
What a big        ! I stood quickly, “Wait, so why did no one stop to help an angel?”
She bloomed(绽放) a big smile, “You’re the          one who could see me, because you care for others.” With those words, she spread her wings and flied away from my sight.
From then on, I believe I am not all I have, for there is an angel always          me. She is always watching over those who do good things for others.

People often said Thomas Edison was the greatest genius(天才) of his age. There are only a few men in all of history, who have changed the lives of other men as much as the inventor of the first useful electric light. But Edison could never be pleased only because someone said he was a genius. “There is no such a thing as genius,” Edison said. He thought what people called genius was mostly hard work.
But Edison was a thinker as well as a worker. From his earliest days as a child he wondered about the secrets of nature. He tried to understand them, and then he tried to learn what he could usefully do with them.
Edison enjoyed thinking. He knew that most people would do almost anything instead of the difficult work of thinking, especially if they do not think very often. But he knew, too, that thinking could give men enjoyment and pleasure.
Edison could not understand why anyone could not be interested in life. As he loved to think, he also loved to work. On the day he became 75 years old, someone asked him what idea he had about life. “Work,” he answered, “Discovering the secrets of nature and using them to make men happier.” He said he had enough inventions in his mind to give him another 100 years of work.
小题1:What is genius according to Thomas Edison?
A.Hard thinking. B.Hard work.C.Useful ideas.D.Useful inventions.
小题2:How did Edison always deal with the secrets of nature after exploring them?
A.To write down what he had learned.
B.To carry out a new experiment.
C.To make them useful in life.
D.To share them with others.
小题3:What does the last sentence in the passage mean?
A.Edison was born to be a great inventor.
B.Edison was able to live another 100 years.
C.Edison was ready to make his 100th invention.
D.Life was too short for Edison to work for human beings.
