科目：初中英語 來源：2018年上海中考英語二模D篇匯編 題型：回答問題

Like most July days, it was hot. I stepped into a coffee shop to drink a cup of coffee. It was a tiny store with little round tables and chairs.

As I entered, I found a very old woman bent over a table near the door. Her back was so badly twisted that her face nearly touched the table-top. I sat down facing her two tables away.

“Poor woman,” I thought. “What does she get out of life? Why does God let people live so long past their prime(鼎盛時期)?”

As I thought, another aged lady entered the shop and sat down with her. Soon the two of them were talking about childhood days. They talked of how little the shop had changed in 70 years… In minutes the two of them were trembling (顫抖) with laughter.

I looked again at the first woman, then in the mirror on a nearby wall, catching a picture of myself.

I was wearing a dirty shirt.

She was well dressed in white, gold rings on her fingers.

I was in low spirits. She was laughing, smiling.

I was putting the pieces of my life together. She had millions of wonderful memories to recall.

She was old but it wasn’t hurting her.

As I left the shop, I thought of my foolish questions about God letting People past their prime. Why, that woman was more alive, more sensitive than I was. Age has not bent her spirit (精神).
