Passage 43

(广西省桂林十八中2010届高三第三次月考)

I work in a company in India．．And it has　 36　 in Germany and the UK，so I 　37　 take business trips to these places．We have a(n)　 38　 at the office by which anybody coming back to India from a foreign country gets chocolates for all the　 39　 ． Naturally the chocolates are finished　 40　 because everyone loves them and 　41　 　to grab as many as possible．I had noticed that the housekeeping staff(勤杂人员)　 42　 　in our company never got to　 43　 even a single chocolate．

　　 Recently，I came back to　 44　 after a month-long trip from Munich and I'd bought a lot of chocolates for the office staff．I called over　 45　 of the housekeeping staff members called Babu．I gave him a box of chocolates and told him to distribute it　 46　 among the housekeeping staff．His face immediately broke into a wide smile and this made me　 47　 ．

　　 But the story doesn’t　 48　 here．The best part of it a11 was that Babu actually distributed the chocolates among everyone equally，49　 giving extra chocolates to a woman who has a 5-year-old son．It was so　 50　 for me to see this．I find it really　 51　 to understand how we，who have the money to buy chocolates and other goodies，do not even feel like 　52　 and just think how much we can grab．　 53　 ，Babu，who earns only just about enough to raise his family，was so　 54　 and did not even keep one extra chocolate for himself．　

　　 It made me　 55　 one simple question：Which is better，having a little less money but being kind and generous or having lots of money but being selfish?

54. A. respect　　　　　　　　 B. sympathy　　　　　　　　　 C. thanks　　　　　　　　　　　　 D. satisfactory

53. A. devoting　　　　　　　 B. remembering　　　　　 C. acknowledging　　　　 D. ignoring

52. A. rather than　　　　 B. more than　　　　　　　　 C. less than　　　　　　　　　　 D. no more than

51. A. excellent　　　　　　 B. skilled　　　　　　　　　　　　 C. generous　　　　　　　　　 D. grateful
