Several dollars equal nothing for some people, but make a difference for others. Steve has just lost his wife to cancer and everything they had is gone due to the treatment. He now lives in the shelter for the homeless. So we know each other.

Just like other homeless people, he didn’t think he needed anything. But once he mentioned to me he needed eye glasses. His voice hesitated a bit, he looked down, and it appeared like he thought such a request was just a dream. Too much to hope for? It was as if his wish were known by me only.

I submitted an application for him to a program that is supposed to provide a free eye examination and glasses. Three months later, I phoned to ask what was up with the appointment but they told me there was a cash flow problem until late summer.

Steve showed disappointment, thanked me and started to walk away. I said, “Hold on, I will figure out a way to get you an eye examination and glasses.” His face lit up a tiny bit. He had seen some of the things I have done for other people in our shelter and to me it looked like he might have a line of hope.

I took a picture of him and posted his picture and his story in the Twitter. In about 4 days, eight people from around the world donated $25 each and one person donated $40 and I made up the rest to get him an eye exam and glasses.

Steve picked up his glasses on Wednesday: May 11th, 2011. Today Steve has returned to a previous job he had in a nearby car wash. Because he now has glasses he will be able to see what he is doing while cleaning the vehicles. He is starting a second job at a pet center next week!

1.We can learn from the first two paragraphs that ______.

A. it took a long time to treat Steve’s wife

B. homeless people never ask for anything

C. Steve was too embarrassed to ask for help

D. the author and Steve have been friends for years

2.The program failed to satisfy Steve because ______.

A. it was already out of business

B. it had some trouble in finance

C. Steve didn’t submit the application himself

D. it’s not designed for people like Steve

3.What can be inferred from the passage?

A. The program was closed three months ago.

B. Steve used to work as a salesman in a car factory.

C. Steve got $240 in total from kind-hearted people.

D. The author might be a volunteer in the shelter.

4.The best title for the passage is probably ______.

A. Money can sometimes talk

B. Small help can really count

C. Two heads are better than one

D. God helps those who help themselves

 

1.C

2.B

3.D

4.B

【解析】

試題分析：Steve由于給死于癌癥的妻子花銷了所有錢去治療，現(xiàn)在一無所有無家可歸。居住在避難所。一次他向作者尋求幫助要副眼鏡。作者給一個(gè)節(jié)目提供一個(gè)救助申請(qǐng)，節(jié)目卻因?yàn)榻?jīng)費(fèi)問題沒有滿足Steve的請(qǐng)求。Steve很失望。后來，作者想到給他拍照片和他的故事發(fā)出去讓別人看到，四面八方的人們給他捐款讓他買到了眼鏡。使得他能夠看清東西，重燃生活的希望，做起了工作。

1.推理判斷題。根據(jù)第二段“His voice hesitated a bit, he looked down, and it appeared like he thought such a request was just a dream.”可知，他的聲音很猶豫，顯示出他的局促不安，卻又不得不尋求幫助。故選C。

2.細(xì)節(jié)理解題。由第三段“but they told me there was a cash flow problem until late summer.”可知，那個(gè)節(jié)目也出現(xiàn)了經(jīng)費(fèi)問題，因而不能滿足Steve的請(qǐng)求。故選B。

3.推理判斷題。由第四段“I have done for other people in our shelter”可知，作者可能是庇護(hù)所的志愿者。故選D。

4.主旨大意題。通讀全文可知，作者通過Steve向救助站求副眼鏡，最后受到四面八方的人們捐款救助讓他能繼續(xù)工作，重燃生活的希望。說明小的幫助能夠重要。故選B。

When I was young I wanted to be a model，so when a national contest was staged，I convinced my parents to take me for an audition(試演). I was selected and told I had potential．They said that for only$900 I could attend a weekend event which dozens of the most prestigious(有聲望的)modeling agencies from around the world would attend．At l 3，my hopes of fame and fortune clouded all judgment and I begged my parents to let me go．We have never been rich，but they saw my enthusiasm and agreed．

I imagined being signed by some famous model companies．For months，any boredom or disappointment I faced was pushed aside because I knew I would soon have the chance to be a real model．I thought I would grace the covers of famous magazines!

Of course，I wasn’t signed，but what hurt the most was being told that if I grew to 5'9”(about 1．75metres)I could be a success．I prayed for a growth spurt(沖刺)because I could not imagine giving up my dream．I made an appointment with a local modeling agency and the agent demanded$500 for classes．$500 for a photo shoot and $300 for other expenses．My parents only agreed after hours and hours of me begging．

The agency sent me out on a few auditions，but with every day I didn’t receive a call，I grew more depressed．The final straw came in July after I had decided to focus on commercial modeling．There was an open call in New York City．We spent hours driving and another few hours waiting．only to be told that I was too short．I was devastated(極度不安的)．

Years later，I realized that the trip to New York was good as it made me notice I didn’t actually love modeling，just the idea of it．I wanted to be special and 1 was innocently determined to reach an impossible goal．The experience has made me stronger and that will help me in the future．

1.What’s the main reason why the author wanted to be a model?

B．She realized that it was impossible for her．

C．Even a local modeling agency turned her down．

D．She realized that she didn’t actually love the idea of modeling.
