A few days ago，I went to school with lots of books，hoping to get a locker (鎖柜)．Suddenly，it started raining heavily. I hurried to pay for my locker，but I was disappointed when they informed me they only accepted cash. I was $7.00 short，which meant I had to carry the books back home. It would be an exhausting (令人筋疲力盡的) two­hour journey back home with all those books.
An elderly gentleman nearby noticed my problem. He asked how much cash I needed. When I told him I was $7 short，he quickly took out the money from his wallet. “You don’t have to pay me back，”he said. I was speechless；I didn’t know whether to take the money or come back with the books the next day. A young student who was working there noticed my hesitation. “He’s really nice，” said the student. “I was starving this morning and he bought breakfast for me. He always helps people in different ways.”
The next day，I went to him and thanked him for trusting me and lending me the money. He said he forgot about it and didn’t expect I would give it back. “I’m very happy，”he said，“not because I’m getting my money back，but because this is the right way to go—whatever you get from this world，give it back as much as you possibly can. Spread kindness around the world with the smallest things you can do.”
Later，I found out he wasn’t involved with any charity organizations. He has been performing these types of acts for years. Earlier，someone had done something incredibly kind for him and he has been spreading the kindness ever since. He taught me a very important lesson in life—we come to this world with nothing and we will leave with nothing. Whatever we own，it will become somebody else’s and whatever we leave，it will become somebody else’s.
小題1:When the old gentleman offered the money，the writer was________.
A．touchedB．hesitantC．a(chǎn)mazedD．embarrassed
小題2:From Paragraph 3 we learn that________.
A．the gentleman worked in the school
B．the gentleman was kind but forgetful
C．the gentleman refused to take back the money
D．the gentleman thought it right to give back to society
小題3:Why had the gentleman been doing acts of kindness?
A．He wanted to join the charity organizations.
B．He managed a lot of other people’s money.
C．He had received help from others before.
D．He thought money was of little importance.

小題1:B
小題2:D
小題3:C

試題分析：這篇文章主要講了一位紳士因為他之前從別人那里得到了幫助，后來他就不斷地幫助別人，希望把這種善行傳承下去。
小題1:細節(jié)題：根據(jù)A young student who was working there noticed my hesitation. 可知當這位年老的紳士給我提供錢的時候，作者很猶豫。 故選B。
小題2:細節(jié)題：根據(jù)He said he forgot about it and didn’t expect I would give it back. “I’m very happy，”he said，“not because I’m getting my money back，but because this is the right way to go—whatever you get from this world，give it back as much as you possibly can. Spread kindness around the world with the smallest things you can do.”可知從第三自然段，我們可以知道這位紳士認為回報社會是正確的，故選D。
小題3:細節(jié)題：根據(jù)He has been performing these types of acts for years. Earlier，someone had done something incredibly kind for him and he has been spreading the kindness ever since.可知這位紳士總是做善事是因為他之前從別人那里得到了幫助，故選C。

I grew up poor-living with six brothers, three sisters and my mother. We had little money, but plenty of love and attention. I was      and energetic. I understood that no matter how poor a person was, he could still      a dream.
My dream was      . By the time I was sixteen, I could throw a ninety-mile-per- hour baseball and      anything that moved on the field.

Should I get      ?
I was frightened for my own safety, and I hated       for having suddenly decided to take a(n)       route home that night. “What if I’m hurt too? Shouldn't I just run to the nearest phone and call the police? Although it felt like a century, my thought process had only       seconds. But already the cries were growing      .

“No”, I finally resolved (決心), I could not turn my       on the fate of this unknown woman,       it means       my own life.
I am not a brave man, nor am I      . I don't know where I found the moral (道德) courage and physical strength, but       I had finally decided to help the girl, I became suddenly changed.
I ran behind the bushes and       the attacker off the woman. Struggling, we fell to the ground,       we fought for a few minutes until the man jumped up and escaped.
      heavily, I got to my feet and       the girl, who was sobbing behind a tree. In the darkness, I could certainly       her trembling shock. Not wanting to frighten her any further, I at first spoke to her from a      .
“It’s OK,” I said soothingly. “The man ran away. You’re safe now.”
There was a long pause and then I heard the words, uttered (說) in      .

On 23rd December, 2013, Michael Schumacher — the famous Formula-One race car driver — received serious brain injuries after hitting his head on a rock while downhill skiing with his son. The accident happened during a family holiday in the French Alps. Although he was wearing a helmet, which broke apart on impact, the F1 celebrity was moving at speeds of up to 62 mph and skiing outside the off-piste safety demarcations (滑雪場地外的安全區(qū)).

He holds numerous F1 world records including most race victories, fastest laps, and most races won in a single season.
