Sitting there,I wanted to cry.How could some people have it all?
Then it became almost routine to see her about once a week.She seemed friendly and always waved,flashing a big smile.My envy continued to exist long after she drove away.
A couple of weeks later,sitting in our usual parking lot,I was holding a book,watching her over the top of it.Her husband came to the car,took her arm and helped her out of the car.I could see very well as she moved to get out.She unsteadily walked around to the passenger side very slowly, leaning on a walking cane.Sitting sideways.she lifted one leg with her hands and then the other.The beautiful lady had a prosthesis(假肢) on the left Ieg and a brace(支持物) on the right leg.

23、 As temperatures approached 90 degrees in New York City last July 4th, three police officers went into a Whole Foods Market to get something cold to drink. What they walked into was a heated human drama.
Once inside, the police officers, Lt. Louis Sojo, Esanidy Cuevas and Michael Rivera, were approached by a store security guard who asked for help with a suspected thief. The woman in question didn’t have the look of a career criminal. She was obviously scared, and her cheeks were wet with tears.
The police officers glanced inside her bag. “All we saw was containers of food. We didn’t see anything else,” Cuevas told CBS New York.
“I’m hungry,” she explained quietly.
Caught red-handed, the woman no doubt expected to be sent to prison for the crime of being hungry while poor. But the police officers had other ideas. “We’ll pay for her food,” Sojo told the surprised security guard.
There’d been no discussion among the three men, no need to see whether they were all in. It went unsaid. Instead, they picked up the woman’s bag and accompanied her to a cash register, where each paid $10 for the food. She would not be arrested today.
All the woman could do was weep in gratitude. Covering her face with a handkerchief and drying her eyes, she repeated, “Thank you, thank you.”
She wasn’t the only one touched by this act of compassion. “It was a very beautiful, genuine moment,” says Paul Bozymowski, who was at the store. He was so taken by what he’d witnessed that he posted a photo on Twitter for all to see.
But attention was never what the officers sought. They were driven by a far more common emotion. As Sojo told CNN , “When you look at someone’s face and see that they need you and they’re actually hungry, it’s pretty difficult as a human being to walk away from something like this.”
【1】Why did the woman cry at first?
A.She was grateful to the police officers.
B.She was sad because she had nothing to eat.
C.She was happy that she would not go to prison.
D.She was afraid because she was caught stealing.
【2】The underlined word “red-handed” in paragraph 5 can be replaced by ________.
A.on the spot B.with bloody hands
C.in the red clothes D.with a knife
【3】Why did Paul Bozymowski post a photo on Twitter?
A.Because he wanted to thank the police officers.
B.Because he was planning to seek attention from others.
C.Because he wanted to help the woman.
D.Because he was moved by what the police officers had done.
【4】What’s the best title for the passage?
A.A Crime Committed B.Trapped in the Market
C.Crime and Compassion D.Poverty and Compassion
24、22 March, 2015
Today we celebrate. It’s exactly one month since the last reported case. But it is vital not to take any chances. So, 20 health care workers from almost as many countries raise virtual glasses to each other.
I arrived in Liberia with MSF almost three months ago. When I saw the tragic scenes on the news, I felt it was my duty as a doctor to offer my help, so I put aside my job and set off to go there. Ebola doesn’t respect national boundaries, so there are no borders for doctors, for patients or for anyone else involved in fighting this terrible disease.
My mission was to take the place of Emma, a Canadian specialist, who introduced me to the other staff: Wilton, a local nurse; Maisy, a retired public health official from Australia; Alfonso, an Argentinian doctor, who had previously worked on Ebola outbreaks in Sierra Leone and Guinea. The list went on. I found that I was the only Chinese doctor among people of all ages, colors and beliefs, from every continent except Antarctica. To be caught up in such a crisis creates powerful bonds between people who have come from different parts of the world and joined together in a common cause.
In the few weeks since then, we have worked together, surrounded by blood, pain and death. But, although the death rate is very high, we will never give up on a patient, and our hard work does sometimes end in miracles.
Just after my arrival, a family of six infected were brought here, four of whom soon died, leaving two brothers with little hope, but we did everything we could to save them. Next morning, we were amazed to see that both boys were still alive. They made a full recovery.
Before long someone else will arrive to step into my shoes, and the tireless work that the MSF members do will go on. It is absolutely essential for us all to cooperate to create a global community with a common future of peace and prosperity.
【1】Why did the care workers choose to raise virtual glasses?
A.To see something clearly.
B.To celebrate their reunion.
C.To welcome the author.
D.To avoid possible infection.
【2】What may MSF be according to the passage?
A.An international certificate.
B.A profitable project.
C.A medical organization.
D.A professional doctor.
【3】What message does paragraph 5 mainly convey?
A.Life is weak in face of disease.
B.Man will beat nature sooner or later.
C.Miracles are waiting somewhere.
D.Effort makes the impossible possible.
【4】What is this text?
A.A journal.
B.A news report.
C.An essay.
D.A science fiction.

Jenny was the only child in her home. She had a quarrel with her mother that afternoon and she ran out of the house angrily. She couldn’t help weeping sorrowfully when she thought of the scolding from her mother. Having wandered aimlessly in the street for hours, she felt a little hungry and wished for something to eat, but it was not possible for her, since she had nothing with her. She stood beside a stand for a while, watching the middle-aged seller busy doing his business. However, with no money in hand, she sighed and had to leave.
The seller behind the stand noticed the young girl and asked, “Hey, girl, you want to have the noodles?”
“Oh, yes...but I don’t have money on me…” she replied.
“That’s nothing. I’ll treat you today,” said the man. “Come in.”
The seller brought her a bowl of noodles, whose smell was so attractive. As she was eating, Jenny cried silently.
“What is it?” asked the man kindly.
“Nothing, actually I was just touched by your kindness!” said Jenny as she wiped her tears. “Even a stranger on the street will give me a bowl of noodles, while my mother drove me out of the house. She showed no care for me. She is so merciless compared to a stranger!!”
Hearing the words, the seller smiled, “Girl, do you really think so? I only gave you a bowl of noodles and you thanked me a lot. But it is your mother who has raised you since you were a baby. Can you number the times she cooked for you? Have you expressed your gratitude to her?”
Jenny sat there, speechless and numb with shock; she remembered mother’s familiar face and weathered hands. “Why did I not think of that? A bowl of noodles from a stranger made me feel indebted, but I have never thanked my mum for what she has done for me.”
On the way home, Jenny made up her mind to make an apology to her mother for her rudeness as soon as she arrived home.
