Reginald Andrews had been out of work for more than a year．This   36  father of five children had deeply known his   37  of family heartaches．A few years earlier, his sister Kedra had been shot in the   38  by a young man who robbed the place where she was working．The young man was caught, but Kedra   39  her sight．As a result of his sister’s   40 , Mr．Andrews cared about blind people.

Think back to this time last year. What was on your mind?

Most likely, you were thinking about finals or the holidays, although in this city I’ve noticed that thinking about the holiday is a fancy way of saying how much stuff will I get.

Now reflect on your thoughts for this holiday season. Most people are still thinking about the holidays, but I say that with a grain of salt. Everybody with a functioning brain and the ability to communicate knows that this holioday season comes with a pretty large price tag: the debt of all the hardships, both domestic and foreign, that we’ve faced over the past 12months.

Let’s face it: some of us will get everything we want over the holidays. But there are others whose parents have lost their jobs or who have lost jobs themselves because of the current economic situation. As much as we try to ignore it, there is still economic unrest in the blue and gold suburb.

In this situation, we have three options. One: We ignore the situation, like we seem to do for every bad thing that happens around us, because by God, it’s the American Way! Two: We recognize that our economy is shot, feel bad about it and spend our time wishing for the good old days. Three: We recognize that our economy is shot, but instead of moping, reflect on every good thing that we have going for us. Now, which option sounds best to you?

I spent a week this summer working in and around New York City with the city’s homeless population. Or so I thought. Although a lot of the people I served were in fact homeless, a significant number of them had a job or a home or both. The truth of the importance of this situation is that they and thousands of others across the country can’t afford even the most basic things of life, even while working two jobs. Yet no one that I met complained about their hardships. Instead, they took whatever I happened to give them(which was, more often than enough, not enough) and were genuinely grateful for what they had.

Wrap your heads around that statement for a second. These people worked their butts off to stay alive with minimal results, yet were overjoyed by a flimsy(脆弱的) paper plate with donated green beans on it. Although I am ashamed to admit it( both as a girthy figure and an affluent citizen), I have taken for granted most of my meals, let alone green beans, and I know for a fact that I am not alone.

64. According to the passage when people think about holidays they care much for ____.

A. where to spend their holidays             B. how to spend their holidays 

C. what they can get for their holidays        D. who they should go to visit

65. When the author wrote the article, the economic situation in his country ____.

A. began to go bad.   B. began to improve   C. was still serious   D. was favorable for middle class.

66. The author wrote the article mainly to advise people____.

A.to be thankful in time of hardship.    B. to spend their holidays in a wise way

C. to think little about their holidays     D. to help the country to sail through the crisis

67. It can be inferred from the passage that the writer is most probably ______.

A. a homeless child    B. an old professor   C. a famous scientist  D. a young student

       The night started out ordinarily enough. Jack and Tara, our   36   , were in their small beds surrounded by toy animals. My husband, Pat, and I went to sleep   37  .

          38   after midnight, Jack quietly touched me. “Mommy, I want to stay with you. I promise I won’t take much room.” I shifted   39   to make room. My son soon fell asleep.

       An hour later, Tara cried and I carefully went downstairs. “Mommy, my   40   is all stuffed up（堵住）. I can’t really breathe very well. Will you please   41   with me a little while?” Tara doesn’t often get up at night,   42   I decided to be there for her. She soon fell asleep. I returned to my own bed. I was determined to sleep. But to my   43   , I found Jack sleeping on my side of the bed. He looked so   44   that I couldn’t remove him. Quietly and carefully, I lay down between  45   and Jack.

       I did manage to get some sleep   46   I heard Tara’s voice again. I returned to   47  Tara. “Mom, please lie down with me a little bit, I had a bad dream, and I’m so   48  .” “Of course, honey. It was only a dream. Mommy’s here and   49   is okay.” We fell asleep   50   each other’s arms.
