At the age of sixteen, I joined a volunteer group with my dad. I went on my first volunteer project in West Virginia. On the night we arrived, we discovered that “our family” was living in a trailer(拖车) that was in poor condition. A crew had been working on it for two weeks, but every time they finished one problem, another surfaced.
We decided the only reasonable solution was to build a new house – something unusual but necessary under these circumstances. The family was overjoyed with their new house that was twenty by thirty feet with three bedrooms, a bath and a kitchen.
On Tuesday of that week, while we ate lunch together, I asked the family’s three boys, Josh, Eric and Ryan, "What do you want for your new room?" Expecting toys and other gadgets that children usually ask for, we were surprised when Josh responded, "I just want a bed."
The boys had never slept in a bed! They were accustomed to plastic mats. That night we had a meeting and decided that beds would be the perfect gift. On Thursday night, a few adults in our group drove to the nearest city and bought beds and new bedding.
When we saw the delivery truck coming, we told the family about the surprise. We could hardly contain ourselves. It was like watching excited children on Christmas morning.
That afternoon, as we fitted the frames of the beds together, Eric ran into the house to watch us. Too dirty to enter his room, he observed with wide-eyed enthusiasm from the doorway.
As my father slipped a pillowcase onto one of the pillows, Eric asked, "What is that?"
"A pillow," she replied.
"What do you do with it?" Eric continued to ask.
"When you go to sleep, you put your head on it,” I answered softly. Tears came to our eyes as she handed Eric the pillow.
"Oh . . . that's soft," he said, hugging it tightly.
Now, when my sister or I start to ask for something that seems urgent, my Dad gently asks, "Do you have a pillow?"
We know exactly what he means.
【小题1】The writer’s first volunteer project was         .

A.working on a poor trailer
B.helping a poor family
C.donating beds and bedding
D.dealing with a housing problem
【小题2】On hearing Josh’s answer, the writer was shocked because         .
A.the family lived in a trailer
B.he expected to get some toys
C.he didn’t know what a bed was
D.the boys had no bed to sleep in
【小题3】From the passage, we can learn that Eric had never seen       before.
A.a trailerB.a truckC.a pillowD.a house
【小题4】By saying “Do you have a pillow?”, the writer’s father means that        .
A.what they want to get may be unnecessary
B.they should not waste money on small things
C.they should do more volunteer work for the poor
D.what he will buy is not what they want but a pillow

Bobby was sitting out in his back yard in the snow. The thin sneakers he wore had a few holes in them. Try as he might, he could not come up with an idea for his mother’s Christmas gift.
Ever since his father had passed away three years ago, his mother worked nights at the hospital, but the small wage could only be stretched so far.
What the family lacked in money and material things, they more than made up for in love and family unity. They ran the household in their mother’s absence. All three of his sisters had already made beautiful gifts for their mother.
It was Christmas Eve already, and he had nothing. Bobby started to walk down to the street. He walked from shop to shop. Everything seemed so beautiful and so out of reach. It was starting to get dark, then suddenly his eyes caught a shiny dime. Never has anyone felt so wealthy as Bobby did at that moment.
He went inside a flower shop. When the owner asked if he could help him, Bobby presented the dime and asked if he could buy one flower. The shop owner looked at Bobby, then said, “You just wait here and I’ll see what I can do for you.”
The shop owner returned holding red roses all tied together with a big silver bow. Bobby’s heart sank as the owner placed them gently into a long white box. “That will be ten cents, young man,” said the shop owner, reaching out his hand for the dime. Slowly, Bobby moved his hand to give the man his dime.
Then the shopkeeper’s wife appeared. “Where are the roses you were fixing?”
The shop owner replied, “A strange thing happened to me this morning. I thought I heard a voice telling me to set aside a dozen of my best roses for a special gift. I wasn’t sure at the time whether I had lost my mind or what, but I set them aside anyway. When I saw that little boy tonight, I knew who that voice was.”
【小题1】According to the first three paragraphs we know that _____.

A.Bobby’s sisters didn’t help Bobby to buy a gift
B.Bobby had known what gift he’d give to his mother
C.the children in the family all loved their mother
D.Bobby’s family was rich before his father died
【小题2】Why did Bobby walk along the street?
A.Because he didn’t know what to do.
B.Because he wanted to try his luck there.
C.Because he wanted to get some money.
D.Because he hoped to see what he could get.
【小题3】What could he buy with a dime then?
A.A flower.B.Nothing.C.A piece of cake.D.Many flowers.
【小题4】Bobby slowly gave the dime to the shop owner because _______.
A.he did not want any rose flowers
B.the flowers weren’t worth a dime
C.the shop owner would cheat him
D.he hardly believed what had happened
【小题5】From the last two paragraphs we can infer that the shop owner ______.
A.was shocked by the voice he heard
B.was always ready to help others
C.didn’t know how to run a business
D.was good at making up stories
