The Paper Boy

Before I could turn 10, I had lost my parents. To support myself and my education, I began to deliver newspapers.

I would get up every morning at 5 am and walk five kilometers from Hydery to the newspaper office in Bazar. By 6 am, I would collect 50 copies of newspaper which must have weighed over five kilos. After delivering them, I would rush home, another three kilometers away, cook my breakfast, eat quickly and go to school.

One morning, I found a boy of my age at my doorstep. He introduced himself as Jimmy and said his parents wanted to see me. I guessed they wished to subscribe to (订阅) the newspaper, so I followed him to his place nearby.

Jimmy's mother opened the door. She served me a large plate of snacks and fruit salad. It was a rich breakfast, one that brought back memories of the happy time with my parents. As I was about to leave, Jimmy's father, Mr. Kader, appeared with a new bicycle.

"This is for you!" He said, patting my shoulder.

"But I have no money!" I replied.

"Who is asking you to pay for this, my son?" He continued.

It took me a few seconds to sense the warm moment. I didn't even realize my tears were rolling down my face. Jimmy's mother held me closely. It was like home, as if my mother were there.

I bowed, thankfully, and left. This time, I didn't have to walk—I had the bicycle!

The bicycle saved my life for many years thereafter and taught me a lifelong lesson: Help should always be need-based.

【1】How did the writer support himself?

A.By selling the newspaper. B.By collecting newspaper. C.By delivering newspaper.   D.By printing the newspaper.

【2】Jimmy's parents asked the writer to their home because _______.

A.they wanted him to buy snacks B.they wanted to help him C.they wished him to be their son   D.they wished to thank him

【3】To the writer, the bicycle was _______.

A.the tool of his childhood

B.the symbol of the friendship

C.something that made him recall his mum

D.something that got him out of difficulties

22、National Volunteer Week started in 1974 and is held every April. It is a time to thank volunteers for what they did in the past for the people in need. It is also a perfect chance to encourage (鼓励) others to take their first step toward becoming a volunteer. Making the decision to take the first step can be the biggest problem, because they often wonder if they will be able to do it well. Some people are afraid of not knowing anyone else in the group, others don’t have enough time to take part in it.

The following tips can help if you have some of these worries.

★ Start out slowly, and don’t push yourself too hard. Even a few hours a month can make a big difference to someone’s life.

★ Choose an organization with the same interests and common values (价值观).

★ Take part in a training meeting for new volunteers so that you will be able to do the job well.

★ Work with a veteran volunteer. He volunteered a lot, he can tell you a lot about the volunteer work and help you get used to it quickly.

★ Invite a friend or family member to serve. It is a good experience to volunteer with them.

★ Finally, it is most important to enjoy the volunteer experience and to remember that not all volunteer experiences are perfect. If one experience doesn’t work, don’t give up and you’ll surely find the right chance.

23、   My name is Sam. I’m 14 years old and I live in London, England. I’m very fit, I’m good at all kinds of sports, and I’m generally in good health. However, there is something really strange that happens to me. Every time something interesting is going to happen, I get sick.

Here’s an example. Two years ago, the school organized a trip to Versailles in France. Versailles is a lovely place near Paris, the capital of France. The plan was to take a train from London to Paris, and then travel to Versailles by bus. I was really excited about this trip, especially the ride on the train, because the train goes through a tunnel under the English Channel, the water between England and France.

What happened? I woke up the day before the trip with a terrible fever. I had flu. So I couldn’t go on the trip!

Last year, something similar happened. I play for the school soccer team—I’m one of the best players—and the school organized a visit to Scotland for the soccer team. The plan was to play three matches against schools in Edinburgh and Glasgow, the two biggest cities in Scotland. I was really looking forward to that trip!

And what happened? I injured my knee when I played football the day before we left. Again I couldn’t go there.

I’m also in the school choir. This year, the school is organizing a visit to Austria so that we can take part in a choir competition there. We will leave next Thursday. I hope this is third time lucky, and I can go. I expect that I won’t wake up with a sore throat the day before we leave.

根据短文内容，判断句子的正误，正确的写T，错误的写F。

【1】Sam is generally in good health, but every time something interesting is going to happen, he’ll get sick

【2】The trip to Versailles in France is far, so their school planed to go there by train.

【3】Sam is the best player in their school soccer team.

【4】He had a very good time in Austria.

【5】Sam is a boy from England.
