My friend John always has something to tell me. He knows so much that   21   men have to have older and more worldly wise men to tell them,   22  , who to trust, how to care for others and how to live life    23     the fullest.

Recently, John lost his    24     Janet. For eight years she fought against cancer, but in the end her sickness had the last    25 . One day John took out a folded piece of   26    from his wallet. He had found it, so he told me, when he     27    up some drawers at home.

It was a    28     love letter Janet had written. The note could look like a school girl’s scrawls(潦草地写,乱涂) about her dream guy.    29    the letter was written by a woman who had had seven children, a woman who fought for her life and who    30    only had a few months left to live.

It was    31    a beautiful recipe (处方,食谱) for how to keep a marriage together. Janet’s    32  of her husband begins like this, “Loved me. Took care of me. Worried about me.”

“Helped me when I was ill.” The next    33    reads. After that she turned    34   the paper and added “Warmth. Humor. Kindness. Thoughtfulness.” And then she writes about the husband she has    35    with and loved most in her life. “  36  there when I needed you.” The last words she wrote   37   all the others. I can see her for me when she added thoughtfully “Good friend.”

I stand beside John now, and cannot pretend to know how it feels to lose someone who is as close to   38   as Janet was to him. I need to   39   what he has to say much more than he needs to talk.

“John,” I ask. “How do you stick together with someone through 38 years—not to mention the sickness? How do I know     40     I can bear to stand by my wife’s side if she becomes sick one day?”

“You can.” he says quietly, “ If you love her enough, you can.”

One day, when I was in high school, I saw a kid named Kyle from my class walking home from school with all his books. I thought to myself, “  36 would anyone bring home all his books for the weekend? He must really be 37 .”

As I was walking, I saw several kids running toward him. They ran at him,   38 all his books out of his arms and he fell down in the dirt. His glasses went  39 and landed in the grass.

My  40 went out to him. So, I ran over to him.   41 I handed him his glasses, he looked at me and said, “Hey, thanks!”

I helped him pick up his books, and asked him where he lived. As it  42 , he lived near me. We talked all the way home. Over the next four years, Kyle and I became best friends.

Kyle was the  43 student of our class, one of those guys that really found  44 during high school. Therefore he had the honor to prepare a  45 speech. On the graduation day, I could see that he was  46 . So, I patted him on the back and said, “Hey, big guy, you’ll be  47 !” He looked at me and smiled.

He cleared his throat, and began. “Graduation is a time to  48 those who helped you make it through those  49 years. Your parents, your teachers…but mostly your friends. I am here to tell all of you that being a friend to someone is the best  50 you can give him.”

I just looked at my friend with  51 as he told the story of the first day we met. He had planned to  52 himself over the weekend and was carrying his books home. “Thankfully, nothing happened. My friend  53 me from doing the unspeakable(不能说出来的).”

Not until that moment did I realize that you should never underestimate(低估) the  54 of your actions. With one small gesture you can  55 a person’s life. For better or for worse.

Angels

My friend Heather mentioned that she had never seen an Angel. Then I remembered the 36  I had with my sister Sandra earlier this week.

This will be Sandra’s first Christmas without her husband. This summer he died in her arms. On Thursday, she was in the store  37  for an ideal card for her two sons and daughter. Time passed by quickly as she  38  the many choices. She wanted a card that sent something special to each of them,  39  she knew they would have a(n)  40  place in their heart this holiday season.

Finally! She found the one that expressed the  41 feeling. The words expressed the feelings that she wished to share. However, a sharp pain pierced(穿透) her heart when she realized that the card was  42 “mom and dad.” She stood there,  43  it close for a long time, unable to move from the  44  . Tears began to run down her cheeks.

“Is there something I can do for you?” a  45  voice asked. She  46  to face a stranger, a woman, who was looking at her with  47  and concern. “Uh…oh...OH!” Sandra responded, “I can’t give this card to my children because…because my husband died and this is the  48  card.”

Hearing this, the stranger’s face softened with sympathy(同情) and love. She reached out and 49  my sister into her arms, giving her unspoken permission to cry in the protection of her embrace(拥抱). She  50  held my sister until her calmness 51  . “Thank you for listening to me cry on,” was what my sister said when all was better. “You are welcome, and I am so sorry for your  52 ,” the stranger answered and said goodbye to her.

During her telling of this event I was feeling  53  that I hadn’t been there. My sister needed me and a stranger had to do my  54  .  “You know,” she went on, “a friend suggested that it was like meeting with an Angel.” My  55  disappeared in an instant. My sister required an Angel, and I think that is exactly what she got.

阅读下面短文,掌握其大意,然后从36—55各题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中,选出最佳选项,并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。

LAST weekend, I helped my friend Alex get money for poor children at Crossroads Mall He  36  needed volunteers, especially of the female. I decided that this was a pretty good  37  , so the next day I got ready to go.

I arrived at Crossroads about five minutes  38  , and helped Alex and   39  of the volunteers. There were only three  40  at first, and we figured we might as well get started  41  just waiting for more to arrive. I held the   42  , and suddenly felt extremely shy. I did not  43  asking people for donations. In fact, I’m usually one of those people who try to   44  those boring stands and ask you for a little contribution. For heaven’s sake, I can contribute to a few,   45  I cannot alone  46  every single cause in the world!

I really didn’t like the idea of asking anyone for donations to our cause.   47  , I watched my friends speak to the strangers, and noticed that they were extra polite to everyone—no matter whether they  48  . I realized that   49  I wasn’t pushy(强求的), it would be okay, and my conscience could be  50  .

I pasted on a large smile, and started asking people passing by. My mouth tripped over words, and I continually said “um” while I thought of the correct terms.   51  I talked to more and more people. Not only improved, but also started noticing small  52  . Instead of saying “donate”, which made most people walk away  53  .I started suing the word “contribute”. I added the phrase “every little bit counts”, and people started to donate small amounts in larger quantities. As the day went on, I learned how to pull on the hearts of the   54  , and I became a successful fundraiser.

At the end of the day, we all gathered at Alex’s house and   55  how much money we raised. I was so surprised; We raised over $300! We celebrated, and went home tired, but satisfied that we helped a great cause.
