On a cold November afternoon, my mother and I were walking home from a pizza store. I was feeling a little tired as I was carrying our shopping bags of snacks. They were so heavy that I decided to throw away some things. So I started to walk to the garbage can while I noticed that a poor man was holding a paper bag with his dirty hand. He headed over to another nearby garbage can and started looking for something.

I suddenly felt very guilty because I was going to throw away a new drink just because it was heavy. I walked up to him and handed the drink and some snacks over to him. The man looked up in surprise and took what I gave him.

With a big smile on his face he said, “Wow! You are the first person to give me some sandwiches and drink, and some tasty food. This is my son’s lucky day.”

With that, he thanked me happily. There was a warm feeling inside me and I knew I had done something good. I now understand what the real meaning of “Giving is getting” is.

【题目】After a terrible electrical accident, which caused him to become both blind and deaf, the whole world became completely dark and quiet for Robert Edwards for almost ten years. The loss of sight and hearing threw him into such sorrow that he tried a few times to put an end to his life. His family, especially his wife, did their best to tend and comfort him and finally he regained the will to live.

One hot summer afternoon, he was taking a walk with a stick near his house when a thunderstorm started all at once. He stood under a large tree to avoid getting wet, but he was struck by the lightning. Witnesses thought he was dead but he woke up some 20 minutes later lying face down in muddy water at the base of the tree. He was trembling badly, but when he opened his eyes, he could hardly believe what he saw: a plough and a wall. When Mrs. Edwards came running up to him, shouting to their neighbors to call for help, he could see her and hear her voice for the first time in nearly ten years.

The news of Robert regaining his sight and hearing quickly spread, and many doctors came to examine him. Most of them said that he regained his sight and hearing from the shock he got from the lightning. However, none of them could give a convincing answer as to why this should have happened. The only reasonable explanation given by one doctor was that, since Robert lost his sight and hearing as a result of a sudden shock, perhaps, the only way for him to regain them was by another sudden shock.

【1】The reason for Robert’s attempts to kill himself was that _________.

A. a terrible traffic accident happened to him

B. he had to live in a dark and silent world

C. he was struck by the lightning once more

D. nobody in the world cared about him

2What was Robert doing when he was struck by the lightning?

A. Taking a walk with a stick.

B. Sheltering from the rain under a tree.

C. Driving a car.

D. Lying on the ground.

3We can infer from the text that ________.

A. Robert’s wife sent for doctors immediately after the shock

B. many doctors came because Robert was badly injured

C. there was no exact explanation for Robert’s recovery

D. a sudden injury in the head led to Robert’s recovery

4Whats the best title of the whole passage?

A. A Terrible Electrical Accident

B. Robert Edwards and His Wife

C. What a Sudden Shock

D. An Unforgettable Experience

【题目】Shirley Temple Black, who lifted America’s spirit as a bright-eyed child movie star during the Great Depression, peacefully passed away at her California home on Monday evening at 85, surrounded by her family and caregivers.

Temple, born on April 23, 1928, started her entertainment career in the early 1930s and was famous by age 6. Temple was 3 when her mother put her in dance school, where a talent scout spotted her and got her in Baby Burlesks, a series of short movies with child actors playing in adult movies.

Movie studio directors took notice of her and in 1934 she appeared in the film Stand Up and Cheer! and her song and dance caught people’s attention. Movies such as Little Miss Marker and Bright Eyes featured her signature song. In 1935, she received a special Oscar for her “outstanding contribution to screen entertainment” in the movie Stand Up and Cheer!

She made some 40 feature movies, including The Little Colonel, Poor Little Rich Girl, Heidi and Rebecca of Sunnybrook Farm, in 10 years, starring with big-name actors like Randolph Scott, Lionel Barrymore and Jimmy Durante. Temple was a superstar before the term was invented. She said she was about 8 when crowds shouting their love for her made her realize she was famous. “I wondered why,” she recalled. “I asked my mother and she said, ‘Because your films make them happy.’ ”

Her child career came to an end at 12. She tried a few roles as a teenager—including opposite future president Ronald Reagan in That Hagen Girl – but retired from the screen in 1949 at 21.

Temple was only 17 when she married for the first time to John Agar, who would eventually appear with her in two movies. Their five-year marriage produced a daughter. In 1950 she wed Charles Black in a marriage that lasted until his death in 2005. She and Black had two children. Temple’s interest in politics was sparked in the early 1950s when her husband was called back into the Navy to work in Washington.

D. The Little Colonel

2When Temple first caught the audience’s eyes, ____.

A. she hoped to play a role in a series of movies

3After Temple got married to Charles Black, ____.

A. she might have begun her political life

B. she had to raise her two young children

C. she decided to work for the Navy

D. she ended her film career on screen
