3.Compassion is a desire within us to help others.With effort,we can translate compassion into actions.An experience last weekend showed me this is true.I work part-time in a supermarket across from a building for the elderly.These old people are our main customers,and it's not hard to lose patience over their slowness.But last Sunday,one aged gentleman appeared to teach me a valuable lesson.This untidy man walked up to my register(收款机)with a box of biscuits.He said he was out of cash,had just moved into his room,and had nothing in his cupboards.He asked if we could let him have the food on trust.He promised to repay me the next day.I couldn't help staring at him.I wondered what kind of person he had been ten or twenty years before,and what he would be like if luck had gone his way.I had a hurt in my heart for this kind of human soul,all alone in the world.I told him that I was sorry,but store rules didn't allow me to do so.I felt stupid and unkind saying this,but I valued my job.
Just then,another man,standing behind the first,spoke up.If anything,he looked more pitiable."Change it to me,"was all he said.
What I had been feeling was pity.Pity is soft and safe and easy.Compassion,on the other hand,is caring in action.I thanked the second man but told him that was not allowed either.Then I reached into my pocket and paid for the biscuits myself.I reached into my pocket because these two men had reached into my heart and taught me compassion.

A.promised to obey the store rules
B.forgot to take any money with him

分析 本文属于记叙文阅读,作者通过这篇文章主要向我们描述了作者在做收银员的时候遇到了一位可怜的老人身边没有现金和食物希望先赊账在付钱,为了保住自己的工作,尽管可怜他作者还是拒绝了,幸亏一位男士帮助了这位老人.
解答 21.C.细节理解题.根据文章第一段".He asked if we could let him have the food on trust.He promised to repay me the next day"可知他并非忘了带钱,而是没有现金(out of cash),新家里又没有食物,因而想先吃食物之后再付账;故选C.
22.A.细节理解题.根据文章第二段"I felt stupid and unkind saying this,but I valued my job"可知作者虽然可怜老人但还是拒绝的原因是他很重视他的工作不想失去;故选A.
23.B.推理判断题.根据文章最后一段"Compassion,on the other hand,is caring in action.I thanked the second man but told him that was not allowed",说明"compassion(同情)"更注重的是"action(行动)",说说容易做起来难;故选B.
点评 考察学生的细节理解和推理判断能力,做细节理解题时一定要找到文章中的原句,和题干进行比较,再做出正确的选择.在做推理判断题不要以个人的主观想象代替文章的事实,要根据文章事实进行合乎逻辑的推理判断.
