       We bought a pair of geese one spring when they were both two weeks old． One was a female Chinese goose I named Su and her mate was a white goose I named Goose． They would follow us all around the yard talking to us whenever we came outside． At night, they stayed in a box in our kitchen until they were too big and then they stayed at night outside． They loved the river and soon began staying out all night on the river． Whenever I wanted to know where they were, I would make a honking noise （雁叫声） , and they would answer me and come into the yard for their corn．

       One night, I was woken up by loud noise． We ran out to see what was wrong． A raccoon（浣熊） had decided that some goose eggs would taste good and had come too close to the setting．When we found Su, the raccoon had caught her by her neck and was biting it．We drove it away and took Su to the garage, washed her wound and wrapped it up in a bandage．Goose knew she was there and wanted to be with her, so we opened the small garage door and he hurried in．After two days and nights, I released them back outside．

       For the first three nights at dusk, we would get her and carry her into the garage for the night and Goose would come running behind us to join her there．We were touched by his devotion to her．We took off her bandage and she was fine  so that next night, we had not planned to take her to the garage any longer．We were amazed, however, that when dusk fell that night, she climbed the back steps to our garage door waiting for us to come and get her in! They do not speak our language, but they know when people care about them and love them and they respond in kind．

One day, Raul was miles away from the small ranch（牧场） house in a large valley.   36

seemed to be all right, yet he felt strange and somewhat uneasy. The wind had picked up, and angry, dark clouds   37  across the sky. He could smell the rain coming. And it did.  38  ,the lightning flashed through the clouds, nearly   39    Raul. The thunder（雷声） was so loud that he buried his  40   in his hands and rubbed his eyes. Then he heard it. Hoof beats（蹄声）.He   41  .There before him stood a tall, white   42  . An old man stared down at him from its back.

      “Wh-wh-who are y-y-you?” asked Raul. “My name is Gray Cloud,” the old man answered   43  .“Come with me.”

      Raul followed on his horse. A   44   feeling came over him. All    45    them the rain was pouring down,  46    not a drop fell on them. They seemed to be  47   back toward Raul’s home.

Raul’s father ran out across the yard  to   51  him. “we have been  52  sick about you. Are you okay? Hurry. Let’s get in out of the  53  .”

For years Tom Anderson’s life was withered up(枯萎) by the memory of his part in a fraternity(友爱，互助会) adventure that resulted in the death of one of his classmates. He and his wife separated after six years of marriage. Then the news about Tom changed. His wife Betty came back; he earned a fine position. One day he told me what had changed his life. “I used to think, ‘Nothing can undo what I have done.’ The thought of my guilt would stop me in the middle of a smile or a handshake. It put a wall between my wife and me.”

“Then I had an unexpected visit from the person I was most afraid to see — the mother of the college classmate who died. ‘Years ago’, she said, ‘I found it in my heart, through prayer, to forgive you. Betty forgave you. So did your friends and employers.’ She paused, and then said seriously, ‘You are the one person who hasn’t forgiven Tom Anderson. Who do you think you are to stand out against the people of this town and the Lord Almighty?’ I looked into her eyes and found there a kind of permission to be the person I might have been if her boy had lived. For the first time in my adult life I felt worthy to love and be loved.”

It is only through forgiveness of our mistakes that we gain the freedom to learn from experience. But forgiving our shortcomings doesn’t mean denying that they exist. On the contrary, it means facing them honestly, realistically.

Can a person be all-forgiving and still be human? A scientist I know spent four years as a slave laborer in Germany. His parents were killed by Nazi street bullies; his younger sister and older brother were sent to the gas chambers. This is a man who has every reason to hate. Yet he is filled with a love of life that he conveys to everyone who knows him. He explained it to me the other day: “In the beginning I was filled with hatred. Then I realized that in hating I had become my own enemy. Unless you forgive, you cannot love. And without love, life has no meaning.” Forgiveness is truly the saving grace.

It was a winter morning, just a couple of weeks before Christmas 2005. While most people were warming up their cars, Trevor, my husband, had to get up early to ride his bike four kilometers away from home to work. On arrival, he parked his bike outside the back door as he usually does. After putting in 10 hours of labor, he returned to find his bike gone.

The bike, a black Kona 18 speed, was our only transport. Trevor used it to get to work, putting in 60-hour weeks to support his young family. And the bike was also used to get groceries(食品杂货)，saving us from having to walk long distances from where we live.

I was so sad that someone would steal our bike that I wrote to the newspaper and told them our story. Shortly after that, several people in our area offered to help. One wonderful stranger even bought a bike, then called my husband to pick it up. Once again my husband had a way to get to and from his job. It really is an honor that a complete stranger would go out of their way for someone they have never met before. People say that a smile can be passed from one person to another, but acts of kindness from strangers are even more so. This experience has had a spreading effect in our lives because it strengthened our faith in humanity(人性) as a whole. And it has influenced us to be more mindful of ways we, too, can share with others. No matter how big or how small, an act of kindness shows that someone cares. And the results can be everlasting.    

Why was the bike so important to the couple?

  A. The man’s job was bike racing.           B. It was their only possession.

 C. It was a nice Kona 18 speed.             D. They used it for work and daily life.

We can infer from the text that _______

 A. the couple worked 60 hours a week.   B. people were busy before Christmas

  C. the stranger brought over the bike    D. life was hard for the young family.

How did people get to know the couple’s problem?

  A. From radio broadcasts.              B. From a newspaper.

  C. From TV news.                       D. From a stranger.

Which of the following is TRUE?

A. The author’s husband often parked the bike beside the back door.

B. The author used to get to work by bike.

C. Several strangers offered bikes to them, but they only accepted one of them.

D. Somebody had stolen their bike before, but soon returned it to the author.
