A little part of me thought about going to another checkout line．This one had the shortest    ，there was only one guy in it，but he was in a     and there seemed to be some difficulties     ．

    We stepped in behind him．At first, he       to be having difficulty getting his groceries onto the counter．But after a while，I realized that what he was actually doing was      it into two parts．

     I offered to help，but he and the checkout lady had it under     ．He asked Julie if she would mind putting his      basket away．Then he       for his wallet which was in a bag on one side of his chair．The      he was positioned and the fact he only had one usable arm      this troublesome for him，so I helped there．

The checkout operator came around and gave him his      and the goods he needed to have to hand．She      one bag of groceries over a handle at the back of his chair．

    I offered to get the other bigger bag and he said，“No．     you could do me a favor．Take that bag along to the entrance and give it to Angela．"

    Angela，it    ，was collecting food for people who might      go hungry! I hadn’t even     her before.

This guy，in spite of the limitations，had bought more than twice as     shopping as he needed—and given the bigger bag away to help     people!

He didn’t let the fact that he needed help      him from being a help．He may have been limited    ，but his heart was more than able to overcome all that．

Find Which Direction Is South

Do you have a good sense of direction? If not, please take with you a compass. But if you forget to take a compass, you can still find your way. 

It’s never a good idea to imagine that the family member who was entrusted（委托）with the job of map-reading actually knows where the family is. You can tell by the slightly confused load on their faces that nothing on the ground seems to match the map. Never mind. The shu is shining and it’s still morning. If you don’t know the exact time, you can still find out where south is, but you’ll need to be patient. 

①Find a straight sick and put it in the ground in a place where you can mark its shadow. 

②Try to position the stick as vertically（垂直）as you can. You can check this by making a simple plumb line （铅锤线）with a piece of string and weight. You haven’t got any string? OK, use a thread from your clothes with a button tied at the end to act as a weight. 

③Mark the end of the shadow cast by the stick. 

④Wait approximately half an hour and mark the end of the shadow again. 

⑤Keep doing this until you have made several marks. 

⑥The mark nearest the stick will represent the shortest shadow, which is cast at midday, when the sun is highest in the sky and pointing to the exact south. 

⑦Pick a point in the distance along the line between the shortest shadow and the stick. 

⑧That point is south of where you are. 

⑨Now you can turn the map, like you did before, and find which way you should be travelling.

6To find the direction, we ought to be patient probably because

A. it is not easy to find a proper stick     

B. it is not easy to position the stick

C. it takes hours to make the marks       

D. it takes about half an hour to make the marks

The passage would probably be most helpful to      . 

A. those who draw maps            B. those who get lost

C. those who make compasses       D. those who do experiments

Which of the following pictures best shows the way of finding the direction of south?

The author presents this passage by      . 

A. telling an interesting story         B. describing an activity in a lively way

C. testing an idea by reasoning        D. introducing a practical method
