题目内容
14.It was one of the hottest days of the dry season.We had not seen rain in almost a month.The crops were dying.Cows had stopped giving milk.The streams were long gone back into the earth.If we didn't see some rain soon we would lose everything.I was in the kitchen making lunch for my husband and his brothers when I saw my six-year old son,Billy,walking toward the woods.He was obviously walking with a great effort…trying to be as still as possible.Minutes after he disappeared into the woods,he came running out again,toward the house.
Moments later,however,he was once again walking in that slow purposeful long step toward the woods.This activity went on for over an hour:walking very carefully to the woods,then running back to the house.Finally,my curiosity got the best of me.I quietly walked out of the house and followed him on his journey.
He was cupping both hands in front of him as he walked; being very careful not to spill(洒出) the water he held in them.Branches and thorns slapped his little face but he did not try to avoid them.He had a much greater purpose.As I looked at him secretly,I saw the most amazing site.
Several large deer appeared threatening in front of him.But Billy walked right up to them.I almost screamed for him to get away.And I saw a baby deer lying on the ground,obviously suffering from heavy loss of water and heat exhaustion,lift its head with great effort to lap up the water cupped in my beautiful boy's hand.
I stood on the edge of the woods watching the most beautiful heart I have ever known working so hard to save a life.As the tears that rolled down my face began to hit the ground,they were suddenly joined by other drops…and more drops…and more.I looked up at the sky.It was as if God,Himself,was crying with pride.

On a (42)A afternoon,everything changed.
Every once in a while,the sub-zero temperatures seal a(43)B windows shut.Drivers don't exactly enjoy having to stand outside in the cold,(44)C their orders into a speaker box,when they expect to drive through on their heated leather seats.In such cases,most customers tend to show their annoyance to the employees.
This woman was (45)D.
"I'll get the next car's(46)D as well,"she said as she came up to the window to pay.She stood outside,(47)C much snowon her hair.Though she was obviously freezing,her bright(48)B lit up her face like a fire.
"You can't(49)B their drinks,"I said,confused and tired.
"No,but I'll buy them,"she said."Pay it forward and all that."
Completely puzzled,I charged her as (50)B,and when the next customer arrived at the window I explained what had just hppened.I watched as his(51)B changed-first angry to be out in the cold,then (52)C at the random act of kindness,and finally,delighted by his(53)D.
"I suppose I'll pay for the next order then,"he replied,nodding and waving at the impatient driver(54)D him.He(55)C over the cash and received his pre-paid hot drink.
The trend continued.Customers arrived annoyed only to leave(56)B and pleased.Some were shocked to spend much more than they had expected,(57)A others ended up receiving their order for less than half the price.
Five vehicles passed,then ten,then twenty No one refused to pay.Customers stood at my window(58)B a fist-full of change to buy drinks for a complete stranger.Cars drove off,honking (鸣笛) and (59)B their thanks.
It only takes one customer,one person,to change the entire (60)C of traffic.It only takes one moment,one smile,to warm up even the coldest of days.

Graphs can seem frightening,but reading a graph is a lot like reading a story.The graph has a title,a main idea,and supporting details.You can use your active reading skills to analyze and understand graphs like any other text.
Most graphs have a few basic parts:a caption or introduction paragraph,a title,a legend or key,and labeled axes.An active reader looks at each part of the graph before trying to interpret the data.Captions will usually tell you where the data from (for example,a scientific study of 400 African elephants from 1980 to 2005).Captions usually summarize the author's main point as well.The title is very important.It tells you the main idea of the graph by stating what kind of information is being shown.A legend,also called a key,is a guide to the symbols and colors used in the graph.Many graphs,including bar graphs and line graphs,have two axes that form a corner.Usually these axes are the left side and the bottom of the graph.Each axis will always have a label tells you what each axis measures.
Bar Graphs A bar graph has two axes and uses bars to show amounts.In Graph 1,we see that the x-axis shows grades students earned,and the y-axis shows how many students earned each grade.You can see that 6 students earned an A because the bar for A stretches up to 6 on the vertical measurement.There is a lot of information we can get from a simple graph like this (See Graph 1) | |
Line Graphs A line graph looks similar to a bar graph,but instead of bars,it plots points and connects them with a line.It has the same parts as a bar graph---two labeled axes---and can be read the same way.To read a line graph,it's important to focus on the points of intersection rather than the line segments between the points.This type of graph is most commonly used to show how something changes over time.Here is a graph that charts how far a bird flies during the first five days of its spring migration (See Graph 2). |
Pie Graphs
A typical pie graph looks like a circular pie.The circle is divided into sections,and each section represents a fraction of the data.The graph is commonly used to show percentages; the whole pie represents 100 percent,so each piece is a fraction of the whole.A pie graph might include a legend,or it might use icons or labels within each slice.This pie graph shows one month's expenses(See Graph 3).
