Earlier this week I was at a store after the holiday season, and while waiting in line I 　31　 a very stressed out Dad with his two sons waiting in line to purchase a car seat for the younger child.

The father was asking if he could buy the display model because it would be 　 32　 than the others. The cashier 　33　 that he could buy the display model 　 34 that there was no box for it. He said that was just 　 35 with him.

Then he asked if there were any additional coupons（优惠券）to bring the 　36 down just a little bit more. The cashier was doing her best to 　37 some additional savings coupons for this young father; but wasn't 　38 much of anything in her drawer.

I used to be a people-watcher, but found that as I 　39 this activity for about five minutes I was beyond 　40 to help -- and I had no idea why, but before I could really think about it I found myself digging through my 　41 for the 10 to 15 dollars in coupons I knew I had.

But I found nothing. I gave him $20 cash. The father said he couldn’t 　42 it, but appreciated my offer. The cashier was 　43 in the same mode as I was in wanting to help this young family; and took the money toward his 　44 with a smile on her face - the seat 　45 coming to around $50 instead of the original $90+.

As the Dad collected his small children and began to 　46 he looked at me and said, " You really shouldn't have done that but I thank you so much -- you just made certain that we will all get to eat today."

My reply was simple. Be 　47 or years from now, simply do the same or something extra for someone else you don't know; and that would 　48 me tenfold（十倍地）.

What really got to me out of this whole experience is that it made me realize a small thing can have a huge 　49 in the long run; as long as the chain isn't 　50 .

The Cambodian government says more than 378 people died and hundreds more were injured in a stampede (踩踏) during the celebrations of the annual Water Festival late Monday in Phnom Penh.

Less than 24 hours after the tragedy(悲剧), Cambodia's most serious loss of life in decades(十年), the government founded an organization to investigate(调查) how so many died on what was meant to be one of the nation's most joyous（开心的）occasions.

Most of the victims(牺牲品) were young people in their teens and twenties. They were some of the estimated(估计) two million who had flooded to Phnom Penh for the Water Festival, which marks the end of the rainy season.

Most of them suffocated on the bridge, which thousands of people were using to leave Diamond Island, an entertainment(娱乐) area in the middle of the river. Others drowned(溺水) after jumping from the bridge into the water.

Buot Panha, 19, said shortly after 9:30 on Monday evening he ended up trapped(围困) with his friends in the middle of the bridge, fighting to breathe while terrified people struggled all around him.

Being tall saved his life, since he could stretch(伸出) his neck to take in oxygen(氧气). Shorter people were unable to do that, he says, which may be why two-thirds of the victims were women.

He tried to help a woman who was trapped with two children near him. She was crying for help. Being tall, Buot Panha grabbed(抓住) one child and pushed him above the crowd to help him breathe.

But then some of the young men were told to jump off the bridge into the river to make room. So he handed back the child, made his way to the edge, and jumped.

Some like Buot Panha were fortunate, jumping into the river below and swimming for the shore. But many simply could not move, and died where they lay.

Buot Panha says his first Water Festival will be his last. He vows(发誓) never to come back.

60.The passage is mainly about ________.

A. Water Festival celebrations　　　 B. a stampede in Cambodia

C. a teenager, Buot Panha　　　　 D. a woman and her children

61. What is the main idea of Paragraph 2?

A. It is the biggest tragedy in decades in Cambodia.　　　　　　　　

B. It is the most serious loss of life in decades in Cambodia.

C. The government ordered an investigation.

D. Water Festival is Cambodia’s most joyous occasion.

62. The underlined word “suffocated” (in Paragraph 4) probably means ________.

A. breathed in　　　　　　　 　　　　　　　 B. felt sick　　　　　　

C. died from too little oxygen　　　　　　　　　　 D. left in a hurry

63. Most of the deaths were caused as a result of _________.

A. being unable to breathe　　　　　 B. being drowned

C. violence　　　　　　　　　 　　　　　　 D. the rainy season

64. Which of the following is TRUE about Buot Panha according to the passage?

A. Being tall saved him in the river.

B. He struggled through the crowd to save one child.

C. It was his first time to attend the Water Festival alone.
