Reining(勒住) his horse, the rider replied, “Sure thing.” Seeing the old man unable to   41  his half-frozen body from the ground, the horseman helped the old man onto the horse and took him to his   42 .

But when I looked into yours, kindness and compassion(同情) were obvious. I knew that your gentle spirit would give me help in my time of   46  .”
Those heart-warming comments   47  the horseman deeply. “I'm most grateful for what you have said,” he told the old man. “May I never get too busy in my own affairs that I fail to respond to the needs of others with kindness and compassion.”

Last Sunday, I waked into the house in the afternoon to find my brother rushing around in a hurry. As soon as I took my coat off, my little brother placed a bunch of papers in my hands and asked me to fold them up so they could fit into an envelope as quickly as possible. He said it needed to get done quickly before it turned dark.
I was a little surprised that something could be so urgent on a Sunday. It wasn’t until I was halfway through that I actually looked at what I was folding. After I read it, it put the biggest smile on my face. It was a lovely letter to all the residents （居民）in my neighborhood. My brother was asking everyone to let him know if anyone needed help. He left his contact information and said that anyone that needed help should get in touch with him and he would figure something out. He also asked people to get in touch if they were able to help out.
London received an unusual amount of snow last week, and the city was completely under- prepared for it. So it was quite difficult to get anywhere. Only the major roads had been cleared, and smaller roads and pavements could be quite treacherous. There are a good number of old people in our little community. So my brother thought that the snow may have posed （造成）some difficulty for some of them, particularly because we live on a hill.
A few elderly people got in touch with him asking for help for things they needed. One of them was especially grateful because his caregiver couldn’t make it. To our surprise, he got more responses from people offering to help. Then he received help from people who wanted to help. Everyone was really touched and wrote to my brother wonderful email. One of our neighbors wrote email saying that although she wasn’t able to help, she was “very proud of having a neighbor like him who puts other people’s interests first.”
小題1:The author’s brother wrote the letter to _______.
A．a(chǎn)sk for help from his neighbors
B．give a hand to those in need of help
C．require his neighbors to clear the snow
D．raise money for the old people in his community
小題2:What can we learn from the text?
A．Few people were willing to help out.
B．The snow was unexpectedly heavy.
C．Most residents in the community are elderly people.
D．The community was completely cut off from the outside world.
小題3:The underlined word “treacherous” in Paragraph 3 probably means “_______”.
A．dirtyB．dangerousC．safeD．crowded
小題4: One of their neighbors sent email to the author’s brother to ________.
A．express thanksB．lend a hand
C．show appreciationD．a(chǎn)sk for help

On a Friday night, a poor young artist stood at the gate of the subway station, playing his violin. Many people put some money into the   36  of the young man.

After half an hour, a middle-aged man ran there in a hurry and 43 through the crowd to the violinist and said, "Yes, it’s you. You did come here. I knew that you’re an honest man and would   44  come here."
"Are you Mr. George Sang?"
The man nodded.
"Did you   45 something?"
"Lottery (彩票). It’s lottery," said the man.
The violinist  46  a lottery ticket on which George Sang’ s name was seen. "Is it？" he asked.
George nodded, seized the lottery ticket and   47  it; then he danced with joy.
George bought a lottery ticket which   48  him a prize of $ 500,000. He was so happy after work and felt the violinist playing so wonderfully that he put 50 dollars in the hat.  49  , the lottery ticket was also thrown in.
When asked why he didn’t keep the lottery ticket   50  himself, the violinist said,"  51  I don’t have much money, I live happily; but if I lose honesty, I won’t be happy forever."
We can gain and lose so much in our life. But being honest should   52 be with us. If we bear ourselves in a dishonest way, we  53 succeed temporarily (暫時(shí)).

In 1971 a young man who grew up very poor was traveling across the country, trying to make a new start for himself. Along the way he had completely run out of money and was forced to spend the night in his car. This continued until one morning, after a week of sleeping in his car, he walked nervously into a restaurant and ordered a big breakfast.
After eating his first good meal in weeks, he found himself lying to the waiter, telling him he had lost his wallet. The waiter, who was also the owner, walked behind the chair where the young man had been sitting. He bent down, and came up with a $20 bill that looked as if it had fallen on the floor and said, “Son, you must have dropped this,” the owner said. The young man couldn’t believe his luck! He quickly paid for the breakfast, left a tip, bought gas with the change, and headed West.
On the way out of town, he began to understand what that fellow did. Maybe nobody dropped the money at all. “Maybe that fellow just knew I was in trouble and he helped me in a way that didn’t embarrass(使困窘) me. So I just made a promise to help other people if I can.”
Later, he worked very hard and became a rich man. Now he lives near Kansas City. Each year he gives away thousands of dollars. He is known as the “Secret Santa” because at Christmas time each year, he personally hands money out to those on the street and at restaurants. Last year, he gave more than $50,000 away in Kansas City.
小題1:The underlined word “this” in the second paragraph refers to         .

C．he could probably find himself a job in the restaurant
D．the owner helped him in a way that didn’t hurt his feelings.
