One very cold,wet night at about 3:30 a.m.,there was a    1on the front door of our house.A young man,wet from      2to toe,explained that he had      3out of petrol about 30 km up the road.He had left his pregnant(怀孕的) wife and his two children    4at the car and said that he would hitchhike(搭便车) back.

Once I had    5a can with petrol,I took him back to his car where his two-year-old and four-year-old children were both    6,saying that they were cold.Once the car had started,I suggested that he    7me back.

Before leaving,I had turned the heater    8in the roadhouse,so that when we went in,it was nice and    9.While the little ones played and ran    10,I prepared bread and butter for the children,and hot chocolate for the    11.

It was about 5 a.m. before they   12.The young fellow asked me how much he    13

me and I told him that the petrol pump(加油泵) had    14$15.He offered to pay “call-out fee”,but I wouldn’t accept it.

About a month later,I received a    15from Interstate,a large bus company that we bad been trying to    16to stop off at our roadhouse for a long time.It    17out that the young fellow I had helped was its general manager,the most    18person in the company.

In his letter,he thanked me again and    19me that,from then on,all their buses would stop at my service station.In this    20,a little bit of kindness was rewarded with a huge amount of benefits.

Dear all,

Please read Professor Hume's email about his next lecture on Rosa Parks.

Susan Miller

Secretary

＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊

Dear Susan,

Please forward this message to students of my history class.

Besides the life story of Rosa Parks in the textbook, the students are also required to read the passage below and some related stories that can be borrowed from the school library.

Ted Hume

The early experiences of Rosa Parks(1913-2005), long known as the “mother of the civil rights movement, ”were not different from those of many African-Americans at that time. The black woman, however, turned the course of American history in December 1955 when she refused to give up her seat on a bus to a white man. “By sitting down, ”remarked John Lewis, “she was standing up for all Americans. ”

Among the numerous awards Parks received in her life were the Presidential Medal of Freedom(1996)and the Congressional Gold Medal(1999).

Parks died on Oct. 24, 2005. At St. Paul A. M. E. Church in Montgomery, a large crowd including Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice celebrated her life. Rice said she and others, who grew up when the political activities of Parks held public attention, might not have realized her impact(影响)on their lives, “but I can honestly say that without Mrs. Parks, I probably would not be standing here as Secretary of State. ”

After her casket(灵柩)was placed at the Capitol, U. S. President Bush, members of Congress and ordinary Americans paid their respects. In American history Parks is the first woman to lie in state at the Capitol, a very high regard usually reserved for Presidents of the United States.

What is the main purpose of Susan’s email?

A. To make arrangements for Professor Hume's class. B. To introduce to the students Rosa Parks.

C. To help the students organize a lecture.         D. To answer Professor Hume's last email.

What does the underlined word “forward” mean?

A. Explain.              B. Send.             C. Take.                 D. Read.

The political impact of Rosa Parks lies in the fact that she .

A. helped Condoleezza Rice achieve political success

B. joined the civil rights movement at a young age

C. made racial equality a common value in American society

D. set a good example in her early life for other black Americans

How was Rosa Parks treated after her death?

A. She was named “mother of the civil rights movement. ”

B. She was received by President Bush at the Capitol.

C. She was given the Presidential Medal of Freedom.

D. She was honored to lie in state at the Capitol.
