One very cold and rainy night in the winter of 2012, my husband and I were in a fast food restaurant. We were about to begin our meal  36 a man walked in. He was completely  37 from the rain and went into the men's room.
I watched him go by, then I said to my husband, "That man must have had nothing to eat in a long time." When the man came out of the men's room, he just  38 himself in a chair, not going anywhere near the food counter. I  39 that he didn't have any money for food and  40 wanted to dry off for a while.
I just couldn't eat my food knowing that someone else was sitting  41 only a few tables away. So, I  42 a $20.00 bill from my shopping money to my husband. "Please get him dinner," I said. "We can do with less money this week."
My husband  43 the man and quietly asked if he needed some food. The man    44  at us. "A small cup of coffee would be great," he said. "Thank you so much!" He   45  wasn't going to take advantage of us, but we 46  that he should have a full meal, which he gratefully(感激地)  47 .
After he  48 the food, he thanked my husband and my husband said, "No. Thank my  49 . She noticed that you were  50 ." 
The man asked me, " 51 did you know I haven't eaten in a long time?" I smiled at him and said nothing , just asking him to  52 the change(零钱) from the $20.00.
Giving others a  53  whenever they’re in trouble not only brings happiness to the ones who  54 it but also to the ones who give it. I am so grateful that I was able to  55 with someone truly in need. It is a little bit of extra warmth on a rainy day.

No one knows yet the accurate number of lives which have been lost in this terrible fire. But reports suggest that it is more than one hundred.
A wall of fire fifty feet high and at least one hundred and fifty miles wide is now racing towards the forests and rich farmlands of southern Victoria. Towns less than one hundred miles from Melbourne will be in danger unless the wind changes. People are rushing excitedly into the streets. The police have warned them not to see the fire but many people are doing so.
The cause of the fire is unknown. No rain has fallen in this part of Australia for three months, and the hot, north-west wind from the great central desert is blowing at more than thirty miles an hour.
The firefighters are traveling to the fire by road, rail and air. But it is not easy to get there. Flames and fallen trees have cut off or blocked roads and railway lines. The thick smoke often prevents them from finding the air strips (飞机跑道).
It is said that the fire has brought the greater danger to the country since the Second World War.

Scientists would like to place a huge mirror in space above the earth. It might be sixty miles wide. It would be used to catch the rays (光线) of the sun. It would direct the sun’s rays upon the earth as a child might do to make sunlight dance on the wall with a hand mirror.

Why do they want to do this? The sun’s rays could be helpful in many ways. They could light up cities by night. The warm rays could stop frosts (霜冻) which might come at night and hurt fruit crops. They could melt (融化) dangerous icebergs in the ocean. Perhaps they could change cloud movements and bring rain where it is needed.

2.The mirror would be used to ______.

A.reflect (反射) sunlight                    B.absorb (吸收) sunlight
