Question

12．A generous stranger bought a plane ticket for a homeless mother to watch her three daughters compete at the AAU Junior Olympic Games．It is an annual event where kids in the U．S．compete in sports．
   Sisters Tai Sheppard，11，Rainn Sheppard，10，and Brooke Sheppard，8---who began training in track and field in January of 2015---all made it into the Junior Olympics to compete in various races．Brooke also competed in the high jump，an event which involves equipment that her training team doesn't even have．That meant all of her jumps were practiced during competitions．
    The girls，who live in a homeless shelter with their mother，Tonia Handy，46，were able to attend the games thanks to support from the girls'training team and a successful GoFundMe campaign．Handy，however，could not afford a plane ticket of her own to watch them compete in person．
    That was until Ken Smaltz Jr．，A complete stranger，read about the family．He reached out to Handy and offered to buy her a ticket．
"It just feels nice to help someone，"Smaltz said，who also didn't intend for the gesture to be made public．
    On August 1，Handy surprised Rainn by showing up to the track right before she was about to run the 3，000 m race．
    Rainn was extremely excited．The mother and daughter hugged six times before they took each other's hands and walked to the track together．
    Shortly after their sweet reunion，Rainn won the gold medal in the race．
    Although the family's athletic accomplishments are grand，their needs are simple．
"Do you have money to eat？"Rainn whispered into her mom's ear after her race．
"She knew I didn't have money，"Handy later explained．"For me to be out here is an impressive achievement on its own．"

56．What is the AAU Junior Olympic Games？（No more than 15 words）It is an annual event where kids in the U．S．Compete in sports．
57．What was the problem that Brooke had before the game？（No more than 12 words）She didn't get trained for the high jump at all
58．What does the underlined sentence probably mean？（No more than 15 words）He also didn't really want people to know what he had done to the family．
59．How did Rainn feel when she saw her mother appear at the track？（No more than 5 words）She was extremely excited．
60．If you do the same as Smaltz did to the people who need help，what can you and the people you help benefit from it？（No more than 30 words）Helping each othercan make our lives more colorful and meaningful and gain the feeling of happy．．

分析 本文讲述了一名慷慨的陌生人买了机票给一个无家可归的母亲，使她可以看到孩子们的体育竞赛．

解答 56．It is an annual event where kids in the U．S．Compete in sports．细节理解题．由第一段It is an annual event where kids in the U．S．compete in sports，可知这是这是美国的孩子们在体育比赛中竞争的一年一度的活动．故填It is an annual event where kids in the U．S．Compete in sports．
57．She didn't get trained for the high jump at all．理解推断题．由第二段Brooke also competed in the high jump，an event which involves equipment that her training team doesn't even have，可知她的训练团队甚至没有给她训练，故填She didn't get trained for the high jump at all．
58．He also didn't really want people to know what he had done to the family．理解推断题．由句意以及前面It just feels nice to help someone，可推知他只是想默默地帮助别人，不想宣扬，故填He also didn't really want people to know what he had done to the family．
59．She was extremely excited．细节理解题．由第七段Rainn was extremely excited，可知她看到妈妈很兴奋，故填She was extremely excited
