It was a cold winter morning. Half asleep at the train station, I stared into the distance, 31 for the train to take me to my 32 in Boston. The world was quiet. The very few people on the street kept to themselves, 33 their steaming cups of coffee.
Reaching into my pocket as the 34 was approaching, my numb hand searched for the $ 20 bill to pay my fare. The pocket was 35 ! I searched through my bag and then I felt 36 . Unless the money dropped from the sky, I’d be 37 there.
“What’s the matter?” A short, elderly man stood before me.
“Oh, nothing…Well, I 38 my money and now I can’t pay for the ticket. I’m going to 39 my math class and the train is leaving.”
“Here, use this.”
The man held a $ 20 bill. I looked up, 40 . People just didn’t do that any more. Everyone worried about their own 41 , rarely stopping to think about others, especially teenage strangers.
“Thank you, but no, I can’t.”
“ 42 it—go!” The man pushed me 43 the train. I bought a round-trip ticket, and he refused the change I 44 to give him back. I did not know what to say — a million thoughts raced through my mind, yet I stood 45 .
For the train ride I was silent. I began to see the world through 46 eyes. That man made a difference with such a simple 47 .
A week later I was at the train station again, with an extra $20 48 I saw the man. And there he was.
“Excuse me, sir, I believe I owe you this.” I 49 the money into his hand.
Failing to refuse, he said, “Just remember to do the same for someone in your shoes some day.” I smiled, 50 .
The elderly man is my hero. For many, heroes are famous, but my hero is a giving stranger who taught me a lesson in life. I will never forget his kindness.
A. watching B. looking C. reaching D. arranging

Having driven almost thirty hours, I decided to stay in South Carolina for a few days．The next morning, I purchased a three-day fishing license and bait （饵料） before heading to the lake．
Opening my trunk, I carefully took out my fishing gear （用具）, put it on the lake’s edge, baited up and began to fish．
“Good morning,” said someone, walking up from behind me．
Turning around, I saw a game warden （猎场管理员） with a clip-board．
“Good morning,” I said, nodding my head．
“Catch any fish?” he asked．
“No sir, just relaxing and killing time．”
“Can I see your fishing license?”
I handed him the license I had purchased at the bait shop．
“Can I see your driver’s license, too?” he requested．
“I see the name on the driver’s license is spelled Kiser and the name on the fishing license is Kaiser,” said the warden．
“The gentleman at the bait shop must have written it wrong,” I told him．
“Well, I’m afraid I’ll have to write you up for fishing with an invalid license and take away your fishing gear．”
“You’ve got to be kidding,” I responded, with a surprised look on my face．
Sure enough I was written up and my fishing gear taken away．I was told that I would have to pay a fine and that my stuff would be sold at auction（拍卖）．
I stood there almost in tears as he drove away．Those rods and reels were very special to me．I had used them over twenty years, fishing with my friends, who were now all dead．
After returning home in Georgia, I telephoned South Carolina trying to explain the situation, but no one would listen．I was told that the Department of Fish and Game had a “zero tolerance” for fishing and hunting violations．Finally, in tears I paid the fine and gave up the fight．
Nine months later, I received a letter．I had no idea who it was from as there was no return address．On a plain piece of notebook paper was written “Auction for the Department of Fish and Game held this Saturday at 11:00 am．”
On Saturday, at six in the morning I headed to South Carolina．By ten o’clock I had found the auction．There were numerous boats and piles upon piles of fishing equipment．All at once, there it was—my wonderful stuff all thrown in a pile as if it was worth nothing．
As the auction began I took my seat．In my wallet was twenty-seven dollars．For more than an hour I waited for my property to be brought to the auction block．
“We have three rods and reels here．I guess we will sell this as a unit,” said the auctioneer．
“50 dollars,” yelled someone in the crowd．
“51 dollars,” yelled another man．
I rose from my seat and walked out of the auction．
“66 dollars,” I heard as the bidding continued．
“100 dollars,” came another bid．The auction became silent．
“100 dollars once, 100 dollars twice, 100 dollars three times．Sold for 100 dollars,” went the auctioneer．
I walked to my truck, got in and just sat there．Suddenly I heard something hit the side of my truck．Turning around, I saw the back of a man putting my three rods and reels into my truck．It was the same game warden who wrote me the ticket almost a year ago!
As I got out of the truck he stuck out his hand and said, “I wasn’t wrong．It’s the law that is wrong．”
I shook his hand, thanked him and drove away．I cried as I crossed the South Carolina Georgia state line．
1.Who wrote a letter to the writer telling him about the auction?
A．The Department of Fish and Game． B．The game warden．
C．A person unmentioned in the passage． D．The auction organizers．
2.Why did the writer walk out of the auction while it was going on?
A．He realized he was unable to get back his fishing gear．
B．He was too nervous to stay inside till the auction ended．
C．He couldn’t bear hearing people selling his fishing gear．
D．He knew the game warden was waiting for him outside．
3.What did the game warden mean by saying “It’s the law that is wrong”?
A．It didn’t make any sense to prohibit people from fishing freely in South Carolina．
B．The writer did break the law by fishing with an invalid license whatever the reason．
C．The writer should have been allowed a chance to explain and get his things back．
D．The auction should not have been held to sell the boats and fishing equipment．

查看习题详情和答案>>I would like to tell you a story about my uncle Theo. He is my oldest uncle, a tall, thin, grey-haired man whose thoughts are always on learning and nothing else. He is quiet, gentle and absent-minded and with about as much sense as a child where money is concerned. Well, he applied a post in Camford University. It was a very good post and there were hundreds of candidates who applied for it, and about fifteen, including Theo, were asked to be interviewed.
Camford is a very small town; there is only one hotel in it, and it was so full that they had to put many of the candidates two in a room. Theo was one of these, and the man who shared the room with him was a self-confident fellow called Adams, about twenty years younger than Theo, with a loud voice, and a laugh that you could hear all over the hotel. But he was a clever fellow all the same and had a good post in Iscaiot College, Narkover. Well, the Dean, who was the head of the department of the University, and the committee interviewed all the candidates; and as a result of this interview, the number of the candidates was reduced to two, Uncle Theo and Adams. The committee couldn’t decide which of the two to take, so they decided to make their final choice after each of the candidates had given a public lecture in the college lecture-hall. The subject they had to speak on was “The Civilization of the Ancient Summerians”; and the lecture had to be given in three days’ time.
Well, for these three days Uncle Theo never left his room. He worked day and night at that lecture, writing it out and memorizing it, almost without eating or sleeping. Adams didn’t seem to do any preparation at all. You could hear his voice and his laughter where he had a crowd of people around him. He came to his room late at night, asked Uncle Theo how he was getting on with his lecture, and then told him how he had spent the evening playing bridge, or at the music hall. He ate like a horse and slept like a log; and Uncle Theo sat up working at his lecture.
The day of the lecture arrived. They all went into the lecture hall and Theo and Adams took their seats on the platform. And then, Theo discovered, to his horror, that typewritten copy of his speech had disappeared! The Dean said they would call on the candidates on the alphabetical order, Adams first; and the despair in his heart, Theo watched Adams calmly take the stolen speech out of pocket and read it to the professors who were gathered to hear it. And how well he read it! Even Uncle Theo had to admit he couldn’t have read it nearly so eloquently himself, and when Adams finished there was a great burst of applause. Adams bowed and smiled, and sat down.
Now, it was Theo’s turn. But what could he do? He had put everything he knew into the lecture. His mind was too much upset to put the same thoughts in another way. With a burning face he could only repeat, word for word, in a low, dull voice, the lecture that Adams had spoken so eloquently. There was hardly any applause when he sat down.
The Dean and the committee went out to decide who the successful candidate was, but everyone was sure what their decision would be. Adams leaned across to Theo and patted him on the back and said, smilingly, “Hard luck, old fellow, but after all, only one of us could win”
Then the Dean and the committee came back, “Gentlemen”, the Dean said, “the candidate we have chosen is Mr. Hobdell.” Uncle Theo had won! The audience were completely taken by surprise, and the Dean continued, “ I think I ought to tell you how we arrived at the decision. We were all filled with admiration at the learning and eloquence of Mr. Adams. I was greatly impressed. But, you will remember, Mr. Adams read his lecture to us. When Mr. Hobdell’s turn came, he repeated that speech, word by word from memory, though, of course, he couldn’t have seen a line of it before. Now a fine memory is absolutely necessary for this post; and what a memory Mr. Hobdell must have! This is why we decided that Mr. Hobdell was exactly the man we wanted! ”
As they walked out of the room, the Dean came up to Uncle Theo, who was so confused but so happy that he hardly knew whether he was standing on his head or heels; and as he shook Theo’s hand he said, “Congratulations, Mr. Hobdell! But, my fellow, when you are on our staff, you must be more careful and not leave valuable papers lying about!”
1.. Which of the followings best describes Uncle Theo?
