  A boy walked along Carver Street,singing a sad song.He walked with his head down.Once he looked up and noticed the sign across the empty street,painted on the side of an old house.On the sign a big woman with yellow hair and a five-mile smile held out a big bottle.“Coca-Cola.Drink Coca-Cola,”the sign said.

  “Boy!”the silence was cut by a sudden cry.He turned around quickly to see who had called.

  An old woman was standing at her door.

  “You boy!Come here this minute.”

  Slowly the boy  1  onto the cold flat stones leading to the old woman's house.When he arrived at her house, she  2  out her hand and wrapped(缠住)her  3  old fingers around his arm.

  “Help me inside,boy,”she said,“Help me  4  to my bed.What's your name?”

  “Joseph,”he said.

  The old woman on the bed tried to  5  up,raising herself on her elbow (肘).Water  6  from her eyes and mouth.The sight of her made Joseph feel  7 

  “I'm dying,Joseph.You can see that,can't you?I Want you to write a  8  for me.There's paper and pencil on the table there.”

  Joseph looked down at the  9 ,and then looked out the window.He saw the sign again:“Coca-Cola.Drink Coca-Cola.”

  “I want my silver pin to  10  to my daughter.”

  Joseph bent his small body over the table and  11  the pencil slowly across the paper.

  “There's my Bible(圣经),”the old woman said,“That's for my daughter,too.I want a  12  Christian burial(基督葬礼)with lots of singing.Write that down,too,That's the last  13  of a poor old woman.”

  The boy labored(吃力)over the paper.Again he looked out the window.

  “Here.Bring it here so I can  14  it.”

  Joseph found the Bible,and, 15  the paper inside,laid it next to the bed.

  “ 16  me now,boy,”she sighed.“ I'm tired.”

  He ran out of the house.

  A cold wind blew through the  17  window,but the old woman on the bed  18  nothing.She was dead.The paper in the Bible moved back and forth in the wind. 19  on the paper were some childish letters.They  20  the words:“Coca-Cola.Drink Coca-Cola.”

【2011·甘肃白银平川学校模拟】

A

Recently my wife and I, along with a travel companion, were in the tiny town of Battambang in the central Cambodia. We hired a guide to take us up the river to our next destination at Siem Reap. This was to a six-hour trip followed by crossing Lake Sap, the largest lake in central Asia. Battambang is an extremely poor area, and our means of transportation was a very small, old boat not much larger than the three of us. With six bags tied to the front part of the boat, three travelers, and the boatman, I figured we were overloaded by at least a ton. We frequently had seen four or five people on a single motorbike, so no one but us was concerned about our weight. We had been on the water only a few minutes when our pilot made for shore and jumped from our boat to another. Our guide said not to worry; he would only be a minute. He added, “We need to pick up live chickens for their legs.” My wife and I exchanged glances. We are pretty open-minded, especially when traveling in a third-world country. It was obviously there was little room in our tiny vessel for chickens. If we had to take them along, we were willing to hold them on our legs—there was no place else to put them. The thought even occurred to me that perhaps the chickens were needed if the boat’s tiny engine stopped in the middle of nowhere. I had a vision of us holding them over the side of the boat while their tiny legs paddled away, guiding us to safety. After all, our guide had said we needed them for their legs. We continued to make many jokes about live chickens drawing us to shore if the boat turned over and we were about eating them if we were left on a wild island. Meanwhile our guide just gave us a puzzled look. Finally my wife turned to him and asked, “How many chickens are we taking?” At first he seemed totally surprised, and then a large smile spread over his face. He bent over and began to laugh uncontrollably. My wife turned to me and said, “I’m glad he finds the thought of us holding chickens on our legs for six hours so funny.” When he finished laughing, he looked at us and pronounced every word clearly and loudly, “No live chickens! I said, ‘We need life jackets for the lake!’” It took a moment  for this to sink in, and then we all had a good laugh.

Whenever we made eye contact, our guide would laugh, shake his head and say: “Americans, so funny.”
