[1]An 18-year-old student was struggling to pay his fees. He was an orphan, and not knowing where to turn for money, he came up with a bright idea. He and a friend decided to host a musical concert on campus to raise money for their education.
[2]They reached out to the great pianist Ignacy J. Paderewski. His manager demanded a guaranteed fee of $2000 for the piano recital. A deal was struck and the boys began to work to make the concert a success.
[3]The big day arrived. But unfortunately, they had not managed to sell enough tickets. The total collection was only $1600. Disappointed, they went to Paderewski and explained their plight(困境). They gave him the entire $1600, plus a cheque for the balance(差额) $400. They promised to pay the cheque at the soonest possible.
[4]“No,” said Paderewski. “This is not acceptable.” He tore up the cheque, returned the $1600 and told the two boys: “Here’s the $1600. Please deduct（扣除）whatever expenses you have spent on. Keep the money you need for your fees. And just give me whatever is left”. The boys were surprised, and thanked him a lot.
[5]It was a small act of kindness. But it clearly marked out Paderewski as a great human being.
[6]Why should he help two people he did not even know? We all come across situations like these in our lives. And most of us only think “If I help them, what would happen to me?” The truly great people think, “If I don’t help them, what will happen to them?” They don’t do it expecting something in return. They do it because they feel it’s the right thing to do.
[7]Paderewski later went on to become the Prime Minister of Poland. He was regarded as a great leader in Poland’s history.

Basketball is a sport enjoyed by millions of people. It began in 1891.
Dr. James Naismith, the father of basketball, was a teacher of a YMCA training 21 . It trained the people to work in YMCAs. Officials at the school were 22 about the low attendance during the 23 months. They felt that people didn’t attend then because the school did not have a good sports 24 in the winter. So they asked Dr. Naismith for help. He came up with a new indoor game.
Naismith studied games being played at that 25 . he found that the most 26 game was a ball. So a ball would be part of his new game, he decided. But kicking the ball or hitting it would be too rough for indoors. So he put two 27 up on the poles. The players have to try to 28 a ball into them. Naismith then made thirteen 29 for the game.

Last week, I was invited to a doctor’s meeting at the Ruth Hospital. In one of the rooms a patient, an old man, got up from his bed and moved slowly towards me. I could see that he hadn’t long to live, but he came up to me and placed his right foot close to mine on the floor.
“Frank!” I cried in surprise. He couldn’t answer, as I knew, but he tried to smile, all the time keeping his foot close to mine.
My thoughts raced back more than thirty years － to the dark days of 1941, when I was a student in London. The scene was an air-raid shelter (防空洞), in which I and about a hundred other people slept every night. Among them were Mrs West and her son Frank, who lived nearby. Sharing wartime problems, we got to know each other very well. Frank interested me because he was not normal. He had never been normal, ever since he was born. His mother told me he was 37 then, but he had less of a mind than a baby has. Mrs West, then about 75, was a strong, able woman, as she had to be, of course, because Frank depended on her completely. He needed all the attention of a baby.
One night a policeman came into our shelter and told Mrs West that her house had been all destroyed. That wasn’t quite true, because the Wests went on living there for quite some time. But they certainly lost nearly everything they owned.
When that kind of thing happened, the rest of us helped the unlucky ones. So before we separated that morning, I stood beside Frank and measured my right foot against his.
They were about the same size. That night, then, I took a spare pair of shoes to the shelter for Frank. As soon as he saw me, he came running － and paced his right foot against mine. After that, he always greeted me in the same way.
1. How did the writer know that the patient was Frank?
A. He was told that Frank was in the hospital. B. He was invited to study Frank’s illness.
C. Frank’s name was written on the door. D. Frank greeted him in a special way.
2. When and where did the writer first meet Frank?
A. In Mrs West’s house in 1941.
B. In an air-raid shelter during the war.
C. At the Ruth Hospital about ten years ago.
D. In London after he Wests’ house was destroyed.
3. The unlucky ones mentioned by the doctor were ______.
A. those who suffered from illness B. those who slept in the air-raid shelter
C. those who were killed during the war D. those whose homes were destroyed in air-raids
4.The writer placed his foot against Frank’s before he left the shelter ______.
A. to be friendly towards Frank
B. to see if Frank’s feet were normal
C. to find out if Frank could put on his shoes
D. to teach Frank to greet people in a special way
