Chuck Wall teaches management and human relations at Bakersfield College. He walked into class one day and told his students that their homework was to perform one act of random(任意的) kindness. His students did not understand the homework and didn’t know what to do, but the professor would not answer their questions. He encouraged his students to work it out for themselves.

   One week later, the students entered the classroom excited to share their stories. One student told of giving away blankets to the homeless. Another reported on helping a dog to find its owner, and another student had been trying to find a long, lost friend. Students were energized (給予活力) by the homework assignment and wanted other people to be kind too. With the support of local businesses, the students made stickers to put on cars that invited people to do something kind for others. They sold the stickers and decided to donate the money to a center for the blind---not surprising as Professor Wall is blind.

   Since then, similar kindness activities have been started in schools around the world. Many schools organize a Random Acts of Kindness Week, around November 13th, to celebrate World Kindness Day. Some schools use each day of Random Acts of Kindness Week to perform a different kind act, such as making a new friend, helping someone, doing community service, or raising money for a charity. Students learn to consider other people and thank about how small actions can make the world a better place.

1.The professor’s homework was to ask his students _________.

A. to write about kindness.

B. to be kind to strangers

C. to spend time helping other

D. to go out to raise money

2.We learn from the passage that ________.

A. Chuck’s students are not clever enough

B. the students didn’t do Chuck’s homework

C. Chuck Wall is an unusual teacher

D. no students enjoyed Chuck’s homework

3.It is certain that _________.

A. the students got good grades in Chuck’s class

D. the students only helped people they knew

4.In kindness activities students learn _________.

A. to deal with difficult things

B. to do great things every day 

C. to know about the world

D. to consider other people

5.Which is the best title of the passage?

“Excuse me,” said a young man, standing shyly at the open church door. “I’m here to pick up an Easter basket for my daughter. Am I in the right place?” Well, we have baskets, but they’re not Easter baskets for kids; they’re food baskets,” I explained.

That morning I arrived at St. Micheal’s Church in Carmichael, California, to help give out the baskets to needy families for Easter. To make sure every family would receive one, we had handed out numbers to them that matched the basket they were supposed to receive. Each one contained a whole ham, potatoes, bread, vegetables, and a pie --- enough food to help feed a family for a week.

“Why don’t you come in?” I said to the man. He looked disappointed. He shook his head and said, “I can’t... My daughter is waiting for me over there. I’m grateful for the food, but when I heard you were giving away baskets for Easter ... well, I thought they would be Easter baskets for children.” He continued, “I promised my daughter one, and I wanted to surprise her.”

I felt bad, but there was nothing I could do. The man handed me his number, and I walked over to the baskets. A bulge(凸起) in one of the baskets caught my eye. “What is that?” I wondered. Leaning over and looking more closely, I could see, unmistakably, an Easter basket --- filled with candy, chocolate, and Easter eggs. One of the volunteers must have added it by mistake! I thought. Then I looked at the man’s number in my hand. Well, he’ll be....

“Happy Easter,” I said to the man, handing him the only food basket with an Easter basket inside --- the very same basket with his number on it. “Someone knew just what you needed.”

1.The young man had thought that ____________.

A. he would have an Easter basket and a food basket

B. there would be Easter baskets for children.

C. there would be children’s toys in the food basket

D. he would get enough food for the whole year.

2.What did the author do at the church?

A. He worked there as a churchman. 

B. He was called in to give out Easter baskets.

C. He went there to meet the young man.

D. He was a volunteer who helped there.

3.The young man looked disappointed at first because ____________.

A. he was told not to take a food basket     

B. there was little food in the Easter basket

C. he came so late that all the basket had been given out

D. he was told that he wouldn’t get what he wanted

4.What surprised the author was that __________.

A. there was an Easter basket in the food basket

B. someone knew what the young man needed

C. one of the baskets was filled with more bread than others

D. he found that the young man’s name was on the basket

5.We can infer that the young man left the church feeling ________.

A. sad             B. satisfied           C. angry          D. surprised
