27、   I was on the way to my friend’s house. She lives at the top of a high hill. Up the hill, my four-year-old daughter, Colette, refused to take another step, and as a mother, I had to carry her on my back. Unluckily, we were stuck halfway.

The road to my friend’s house is so narrow that drivers, upon discovering it’s a dead end for a car, have to go back down the hill because there’s no place to turn around. That happened to me once, which was why I just walked here today. But we were still stuck.

I saw a man approaching. “Do me a favor. My finger was cut. Please call 911,” the man said. With his left hand, he put his handkerchief (手帕) around his bloody right hand and held it up.

“No phone,” I said, as if English were also my second language. “I have a phone,” he said, and lowered his chin toward his front pocket. I didn’t want to reach my hand there, but the blood did look real. In his pocket, I found a phone. I took it out. I was afraid that it was dangerous to stand there, so I stepped back out of arm’s reach, and then called 911.

A woman operator answered, and after I gave her the address, I said, “I’m here with this guy, and he said he cut his finger.”

“Is it bad?” the operator asked. “Yes. It’s bad.” I told her. The operator asked again, “Did he cut it off?” Now, there was a question I hadn’t thought of. “Did you cut it off?” I asked the man. He answered immediately, “Yes.” He breathed a sigh of relief as he finally made someone understand the situation.

I told the operator, “Yes. He cut it off.” “Keep the finger,” she told me, “the ambulance will be there in a minute!” Finally, the ambulance picked up the man and we struggled to reach my friend’s house.

28、   Mrs.Black was having a lot of trouble with her skin, so she went to her doctor about it. He could not find anything wrong with her, however. So he sent her to the local hospital for some tests. The hospital, of course, sent the results of the tests direct to Mrs. Black’s doctor, and the next morning he telephoned her to give her a list of the things that he thought she could not eat, as any of them might be the cause of her skin trouble.

I have done all your shopping for you.” “Done all my shopping?” She asked in surprise. “But how did you know what I wanted?” “Well, when I got home, I found your shopping list beside the telephone,” answered her husband. “So I went down to the shops and bought everything you had written down.”

29、   For the last eight years, Jo Meade rode her bike each Sunday on a 16-mile round trip to her job washing dishes. It took more than an hour each way. Other days of the week she would spend two  hours on three buses from her apartment to get to the other work, for a four-hour round trip.

That was the “before” part of her life. The “after” part of her life was started by the community Police Officer Trevor Arnold, who delivered a used car to her with the help of a car dealer and other donors.

Arnold, who spotted Meade, red and sweaty, riding her bike in the worst heat this summer, decided he would get her a car. He intended to quietly buy her a used car out of his own pocket so he turned to his friend Kody Slaght, a car salesman, to ask about a car priced $ 1,000. That wasn’t enough for a reliable ride, Slaght said, but the dealership said they would find a good car for her at a good price. Soon others were donating. Slaght and Arnold wouldn’t say how much the car cost, but the value is about $ 4,000.

Arnold said he was motivated by Meade’s work ethic (职业道德) to help. “I see a lot of hardworking people but that’s when they are at work. Can you imagine spending four hours of your day getting to and from work?” he said.

Meade’s boss said she was awesome and really reliable when she worked and she got along with others. “She’s willing to ride the three buses to get in here on her day off if we need her to.”

Meade said she was planning to buy a car, “but I haven’t been able to afford it,” she said. “Trevor, he is a very good guy. I did not expect this.”

【1】What can we learn about Jo Meade’s work?

A.It’s free but low-paid. B.It’s time-consuming on the road.

C.It’s competitive and high-paid. D.It’s not worth her devotion.

【2】Why did Slaght disagree to Arnold’s buying a car priced $ 1,000?

A.The car was not in good condition of driving.

B.The car was too expensive for Meade.

C.The car was beyond Arnold’s affordability.

D.The car had been donated to another person.

【3】What inspired Arnold to buy a car for Meade?

A.Her devotion to work. B.His duty as a policeman.

C.His sympathy for Meade. D.Her desire for a better life.

【4】What’s Meade’s feeling for the donated car?

A.Normal. B.Embarrassed.

C.Disappointed. D.Surprised.
