She used to sleep on the sidewalk(人行道) of the Fifth Street Post office. I could smell her before I came close. She wore dirty clothes and her mouth was nearly toothless. I rarely saw her talk with others. If she was not asleep, she talked to herself. I always had sympathy for her. What a poor old lady! She must be desperate and hungry.

One Thanksgiving, we had lots of food left over. I thought about the old lady. She might be still hungry. So I packed the food up and drove over to the Fifth Street.

It was a cold night. There was hardly anyone out. But I knew she would stay at the same place and I would find her easily.

There she was, squatted（跟著）against a fence near the post office. She was dressed as she always was. I drove my car over to her, rolled down the window and said, "I’ve brought you some food. Would you like some turkey and apple pie?

However, the old woman didn't seem to be very excited about this. She looked at me and said quite clearly, "Oh, thank you very much, but someone has given me food earlier and I'm quite full now. Why don' t you take it to someone else who needs it?

Her words were clear and her manners were gracious （親切的）. Soon her head sank into her arms again. I was the only person who didn't know what to say. An old lady who was clearly down on her luck still thought about others. Why don't more of us do that?

1.The author could smell the old lady before she came close mainly because ______.

A.her clothes was dirty B.her mouth was nearly toothless

C.she seldom talked with others D.she often slept on the sidewalk

2.What does the underlined word "desperate" possibly mean?

3.What's the correct order of the following events happened one Thanksgiving?

a. I offered to give the food to the old lady

b. I packed some left food and drove to the Fifth Street

c. The old lady hoped me to help other people who were still hungry

d. The old lady refused to accept my help

A.a, d, b, c B.a, b, d, c C.b, a, c, d D.b, a, d, c

4.What did the author think of the old lady at last?______.

B

When your dream is to become a footballer and play for Barcelona team, nothing should get in your way—even if you have no feet.

An 11-year-old schoolboy Gabriel Muniz, who was born without feet, will fly from his home in Brazil to take part in the Spanish club’s summer training camp. Although he is disabled, Muniz is one of the top players at the school and captain of his gym class. He can run, pass and strike the ball as well as any of his able-bodied teammates. He spends all his spare time on the football pitch.

His best friend Lucas Santos spoke about his abilities on a video for The Sun, “He is skillful, he goes after it, he is fearless and he knows how to organize plays. He also makes good passes.” Mum Sandra was thrilled that her son would achieve his dreams. She said, "He started walking before he was one. We would go after him, expecting him to keep falling, but he never fell. "Muniz's gym teacher added, "He is challenging the social standard. When he arrived there, no one believed in him." But he showed to everyone that he could play as well as any other boy. So he was invited to go to Spain to show his talent.

The Spanish La Liga soccer club has offered to fly Muniz to Spain in September, where he'll be able to show off his fancy “footwork” and meet his idol, Barca soccer player Lionel Messi.

Muniz wears a prosthetic (假體的) ankle and foot to help him get around in rainy weather. He knows that his disability means he'll never be able to play for a professional football team and so Muniz is hoping that football will one day become a Paralympics (殘奧會(huì)的) sport.

A.His idol, Messi. B.His best friend. C.His mum, Sandra. D.His gym teacher.

2.The underlined word “thrilled” in paragraph 3 may has the similar meaning to .

A.excited B.worried C.bored D.interested

3.The time order of the following sentences is Muniz ________.

①played football well and became captain of his school gym class

②could walk without falling when he was very little

③was asked to fly to Spain for a summer training camp

A.③②① B.①②③ C.②③① D.②①③

4.We can tell that Muniz according to the passage.

A.has difficulty in living a normal life B.dreams to play for professional team

C.will play football for the Spain La Liga D.hopes football be a part of Paralympics

5.Which saying can express the spirit of the passage?

A.Failure is the mother of success. B.Where there is a will, there is a way.

C.A good beginning is half done. D.Early birds catch the worm.
