Question

【题目】 Sometimes, it is great fun to show people that they are important through some acts of kindness. My daughter Cindy, an 8-year-old girl, was kind of shy in the past, but one thing makes her become very active and outgoing.

Last month, Cindy felt uncomfortable in her stomach, so I took her to the hospital. When we were waiting outside the waiting room, we saw a lady standing just beside us. She was very depressed and worried. I didn’t know her, so I said nothing to her. However, Cindy gave a smile card to the lady and said, “I hope everything goes well with you.” It brought tears to the lady’s eyes. She hugged Cindy and said nothing. Later, Cindy gave out five more smile cards that day.

Last Monday, I did some shopping with Cindy in a supermarket. After we bought what we wanted, we went to the counter (t柜台). To my surprise, I couldn’t find my wallet and I didn’t know what to do. Cindy was so worried that she wanted to cry. At that time, a lady came to us and paid for us. Oh, she was the lady to whom Cindy gave a smile card in the hospital. I said “thank you” to her. She said, “I was moved by your daughter’s kindness.”

Now we have always enjoyed helping people and smile cards are a good tool to do more. Of course, what we have done has changed my daughter’s personality (性格).

本文讲作者的女儿Cindy在医院安慰了一位伤心的女士，后来作者和女儿购物时发现钱包丢了，那位女士帮她们付了钱并对Cindy之前的善意表示感谢。这件事让人们明白了善举的重要性。

【1】细节理解题。根据第一段“…but one thing makes her become very active and outgoing.”可知，有一件事让Cindy的性格变得积极又外向，故选C。

【2】词义猜测题。根据下文“It brought tears to the lady’s eyes.”可知，Cindy的一张卡片就让这位女士热泪盈眶，所以当时她的心情应该是很沮丧的，故选B。

【3】细节理解题。根据第二段“…Cindy gave a smile card to the lady…”可知，Cindy送给那位女士一张微笑卡片，故选D。

【4】细节理解题。根据第三段“She said, “I was moved by your daughter’s kindness.”可知，那位女士很感谢Cindy在医院对她的善意，所以这次她也伸出了援手，故选A。
