Question

  I have had a strange knock on my front door asking for money for the bus so he could get to the hospital. I have had strangers asking for a donation. I have had strangers at my door looking for work or a ride. And I have managed to say no to just about everybody.

  But when a stranger recently knocked on my door and said he needed a place to live for the summer,I said to my family and friends, "Let's see what we can do."

  Khalil came to the United States from the United Kingdom,where he was a college student,and he had paid quite a bit of money to a company to come to this country and go door-to-door selling books. He had been promised a place to live with a family,but the host family said they had daughters and expected to host two girls,not two boys―Khalil and his workmate,Andy. All the other salesmen had been placed with host families but there was no room for these two. And they were in trouble It was in June. After he knocked on my door,Khalil and I made the rounds of my friends in neighborhood. Did they have room? Did they know anyone who did?

  Back at my house,I made lunch and learned all about Khalil's family. His mother was proud of his decision of coming to America. His mother had cried when he left. He missed his sister;she is his best friend.

  Just as I had predicted,a friend and neighbor took in Khalil and Andy for the summer in return for a very small rent. I know I'm lucky as this story has a happy ending. I read the news?paper headlines,too,and I know there is evil in the world,but sometimes you just have to go with your gut and trust in karma.

A篇：本文讲述作者帮助英国学生找到住所的经历，揭示了帮助别人能得到快乐的道理。

1. A细节理解题。由第二段可以看出作者决定帮忙，由最后一段中"Just as I had predic?ted,a friend and neighbor took in Khalil and Andy for the summer in return for a very small rent."可以看出作者帮忙在朋友家为Khalil 找到了房子。由文章的第二段可知Khalil上门不是卖书而是找住处；房东并没有发现Khalil遇到困难;从第五段"Back at my house,I made lunch and learned all about Khalil's family."可知作者对Khalil并不是很了解。因此可排除其他答案。'

2. A细节理解题。根据文章第三段"He had been promised a place to live with a family,but the host family said they had daughters and expected to host two girls,not two boys"可知答案为A.

3. D句意猜测题。对句子的猜测建立在对整篇文章理解的基础之上。前一句讲虽然相信陌生人有风险，最后一句作为文章的总结，表明作者"相信感觉和缘分，帮助陌生人"之后的快乐心情。

4. D主旨大意题。从文章最后归纳总结的一句话可以看出作者是庆幸自己相信了陌生人并帮助他之后感到快乐，并不是庆幸有好邻居。C不正确。也不是提醒我们要提防陌生人，因此A、B不正确。
