My six-year-old granddaughter, Caitlyn, and I stopped at a Tim Horton’s shop for a blueberry cake. As we were going out of the door, a young teenage boy was coming in.

This young man had no hair on sides of his head with a set of blue spiked（竖起的）hair on top of it. One of his nostrils(鼻孔) was pierced （扎、穿）, and a ring ran through the hole and a chain went across his face and was attached to a ring he was wearing in his ear. He held a skateboard under one arm and a basketball under the other.

Caitlyn, who was walking ahead of me, stopped at once when she saw the teenager, I thought he’d scared her and she’d frozen on the spot.

I was wrong.

My granddaughter backed up against the door and opened it as wide as it would go. Now I was face to face with the young man. I stepped aside and let him pass. His response was a polite “Thank you very much”.

On our way to the car, I praised Caitlyn for her manners in holding open the door for the young man. She didn’t seem to be troubled by his appearance, but I wanted to make sure. If a grandmother’s talk about freedom of self-expression and allowing people their differences was in order, I wanted to be ready.

As it turned out, the person who needed the talk was me.

The only thing Caitlyn noticed about the teenager was the fact that his arms were full. “He would have a hard time to open the door. ”

I saw the partially shaved head, the set of spiked hair, the piercing and the chain. She saw a person carrying something under each arm and heading toward a closed door.

In the future, I hope to get down on her level and raise my sights.

What did the author think of the young man?

A. Polite. B. Uncommon. C. Frightening. D. Funny.

Caitlyn helped the young man because______ .

A. she was scared B. she didn’t notice his look

C. she wanted to avoid him D. it would be difficult for him to open the door

The underlined sentence suggests that_______ .

A. the author was ashamed of herself

B. the author didn’t know how to give a talk on freedom

C. a talk on freedom was useless for the granddaughter

D. people should have more freedom to express themselves

The author intends to tell us that_______ .

A. we shouldn’t judge a person by his look

B. we should allow people more freedom to dress differently

C. we should be more helpful and tolerant(宽容的)to people

D. we shouldn’t be too particular about people in life

After spending a weekend away with my adult son, I was so impressed by his

generous heart that I sent him this letter.

Dear son,

I want to thank you for teaching me a very 36 lesson in life by the great

example you 37 When we were eating at that cafe in Bondi and a person who

had __38__ his hamburger didn't have enough money to pay for it, without any

39 , you went over and put the 40 $2 into his hand.

When we were leaving, you 41 threw a five-cent coin onto the pavement and

Said 42_ like, "Some kid will really enjoy 43 this. "

Last week, a young man 44 me in the line at a petrol station didn't have

45 money to pay for his petrol. I asked the money collector, "How much 46

is he?" She told me he had meant to put $15 of petrol in his ear 47 he had been

looking at the wrong gauge (计量器) and had put in 15 48 , which came to just

over 49'_. That is an easy mistake 50 both gauges run fast.

Something made me think of you and 51 you did that night at the cafe in

Bondi. I handed the man $6. He was so 52 and said, "But why would you do

this for me?" I just smiled as I thought of you.

Thank you, son, for teaching me that "it's 53 to give than receive". Now

when I sec a five-cent coin on the 54 and want to pick it up, I think of you

and leave it _55 , just in case some kid will get a kick out of finding it.

Love always. Mum.

Today, I felt terrible. My head was full of problems, burdens and confusion. I decided to take a walk even though I didn’t know where I would go.
The most extraordinarything happened when I was out on this walk. I saw an old man sitting on a chair. He was a seller of second-hand shoes. He looked at least 70 years old. He seemed so tired and nobody bought his shoes. I wanted to give him something but I had not brought anything with me.
Then, a little girl came toward him. I heard the child say, “Grandpa, may I polish your shoes?” That old man took pity on her and he gave her a shoe to polish. The girl said, “I polish the shoe because I need money to buy my brother a new school uniform.”
I heard this and tears filled my eyes. The old man answered, “Oh, little girl. Just stop doing this. Come with me and I will buy you a uniform.” Then they walked to a market and I followed close behind them. There he bought her a uniform. The girl said, “Thank you so much for doing this. May God bless you.” Then she left, leaving the old man smiling.
The old man walked away from the market, but I stopped him. I whispered in his ear, “You are a hero! Thank you for your kindness!” As I walked away, I glanced back and I could see him still smiling.
My own sadness had disappeared, chased away by the light of this kind act. I began realizing that I have a lot to be thankful for. I hope, some day, I can show my appreciation of what I have by following the example of the old man who only had a little, but shared it happily with someone who had nothing.

One silly question I simply can’t stand is “How do you feel?” Usually the question is asked of a man in action — a man on the go, walking along the street, or busily working at his desk. So what do you expect him to say? He’ll probably say, “Fine, I’m all right,” but “you’ve put a bug in his ear” — maybe now he’s not sure. If you’re a good friend, you may have seen something in his face, or his walk, that he overlooked that morning. It starts him worrying a little. First thing you know, he looks in a mirror to see if everything is all right, while you go merrily on your way asking someone else, “How do you feel?”

Every question has its time and place. It’s perfectly acceptable, for instance, to asked “How do you feel?” if you’re visiting a close friend in the hospital. But if the fellow is walking on both legs, hurrying to catch a train, or sitting at his desk working, it’s no time to ask him that silly question.

When George Bernard Shaw, the famous writer of plays, was in his eighties, someone asked him, “How do you feel?” Shaw put him in his place. “When you reach my age,” Shaw said, “either you feel all right or you’re dead.”

26. The passage tells us that some greetings such as “How do you feel?” __________.

A. show one’s consideration for others

B. are a good way to make friends

C. are proper to ask a man in action

D. generally make one feel uneasy

27. The question “How do you feel?” seems to be correct and suitable when asked of _________________________.

A. a man working at his work B. a person having lost a close friend

C. a stranger who looks somewhat worried D. a friend who is ill

28. The writer seems to feel that a busy man should _________________.

A. be praised for his efforts

B. never be asked any questions

C. not be troubled

D. be discouraged from working so hard

29. “You’ve put a bug in his ear” means that you’ve _________________.

A. made him laugh merrily

B. given him some kind of warning

C. shown much concern for him

D. played a joke on him

30. George Bernard Shaw’s reply in the passage shows his __________.

A. cleverness B. cheerfulness C. power and skills D. politeness
