27、 Enya Vegnere, 19, left Joshua Henry, 25, speechless when she used her own bank card to pay for his food at a drive-through. In a video posted online by Joshua, Enya was filmed paying for his meal after he phoned his mum to ask if she wanted anything from McDonald’s. In the video, Joshua can be heard asking the worker, “So you’re gonna pay for my meal?” Enya replied, “Yeah, for your care about your mum.”
Joshua didn’t expect to get a free meal, but it properly cheered him up after having a depressing day with the fact that he was at high risk of a job cut. Joshua got in touch later to express thanks. He said it made his week.
Enya, who has worked at McDonald’s since January, is paid £7.25 per hour but has spent more than £ 50 on random acts of kindness to customers in secret for months. She often pays for a coffee here or a burger there when she feels people would appreciate it. Her colleagues were unaware of her generous gestures, but they always go out of their way for customers. Thus, she loves her work and work team, where everyone goes above and beyond.
Some people do kind things with the expectation that they will get something back in return but that’s not Enya’s way. Her motto is “takers eat better but givers sleep better”. She doesn’t do it for recognition but thinks of it as nice things for people. Joshua had already paid forward the act of kindness. Later, he bought a meal for the person in front, who was also thankful and intended to pay it forward.
It is seldom known what someone is going through and what a kind gesture could do.
【1】Why did Enya pay for Joshua’s meal?
A.Because Enya loved her job.
B.Because Enya was being filmed.
C.Because Joshua was polite to her.
D.Because Joshua was considerate of his mum.
【2】What does the underlined part in paragraph 2 mean?
A.It helped him secure his job. B.It was beyond his expectation.
C.It put smiles back on his face. D.It was an important week.
【3】Which of the following can best describe Enya?
A.Kind and confident. B.Polite and humorous.
C.Selfless and intelligent. D.Warm-hearted and generous.
【4】What can we learn from this text?
A.Love has magic power. B.One should work down to earth.
C.A friend in need is a friend indeed. D.Actions speak louder than words.

29、As a 51-year-old first-aid responder since 1984, Jeffrey never knows what type of situation he might walk into, or who he'll meet along the way
Ten years into the job, Jeffrey received a call that reported that a man in his early 30s had fallen down in the Mall of America. When Jeffrey and his partner arrived at the scene, they found the young male face down on the ground. He had gone unconscious, making weak attempts to breathe. His wife stood beside him holding their small son in horror. They quickly rushed to calm the man to keep him under control and offer necessary first aid. After Jeffrey dropped the patient off at the neighboring hospital, he thought about the man and his family for a long time.
Jeffrey thought he had experienced everything under the sun until one random visit to Office Max three years ago, where he met a man repeatedly walking back and forth while staring at him. As it turned out, the man was the patient he had saved 20 years earlier.
"You gave me 20 years more than I ever thought I'd have," the man said. He thanked Jeffrey repeatedly and told him he had someone he wanted him to meet. He stepped around the corner and reappeared with a 20-something-year-old man. Jeffrey instantly knew that it was the son he had seen standing by his mother all those years ago
"That day changed my life," Jeffrey said. "Before that, everything was about work…When I talk to my beginner-training class, I tell them you never know the effect you can have on someone's life."

31、Directions: Complete the article with the words or phrases in the box. Each word or phrase can only be used once. There is one extra that you do not need.
There was a time when British Olympic medal winners became household names because there were so few of them. But the 67 medals at this year's Games in Rio and 147 at the Paralympics meant that the GB medalists’ reception at Buckingham Palace was a crowded and happy event.
Many of this year's winners spoke of being inspired by athletes of previous generations. Inspiration fed their aspiration; and having discovered abilities they scarcely knew they had, these athletes are now inspiring others.
A few months ago, I saw inspiration of a different kind when I opened the new Cambridge base of the East Anglian Air Ambulance, where Prince William works as a helicopter pilot. It was not hard to be moved by the 【1】 of the highly skilled doctors, paramedics and crew, who are called out on average five times a day.
But to be inspirational you don't have to save lives or win medals. I often draw strength from meeting ordinary people doing extraordinary things: volunteers, careers, community organizers and good neighbors; unsung heroes whose quiet dedication makes them special.
They are an inspiration to those who know them, and their lives frequently embody a truth expressed by Mother Teresa, from this year Saint Teresa of Calcutta. She once said: 'Not all of us can do great things. But we can do small things with great love'.
This has been the experience of two 【2】 organizations, The Duke of Edinburgh's Award and The Prince's Trust, which are 60 and 40 years old this year. These started as small 【3】, but have grown beyond any expectations, and continue to transform young people's lives.
To mark my 90th birthday, volunteers and supporters of the six hundred charities of which I have been patron came to a lunch in The Mall. Many of these organizations are 【4】 in size but inspire me with the work they do. From giving friendship and support to our veterans, the elderly or the bereaved; to championing music and dance; providing animal welfare; or protecting our fields and forests, their selfless devotion and generosity of spirit is an example to us all.
When people face a challenge they sometimes talk about taking a deep breath to find courage or strength. In fact, the word 'inspire' literally means 'to breathe in'. But even with the inspiration of others, it's 【5】 that we sometimes think the world's problems are so big that we can do little to help. On our own, we cannot end wars or wipe out【6】 , but the cumulative impact of thousands of small acts of goodness can be bigger than we imagine.
At Christmas, our attention is drawn to the birth of a baby some two thousand years ago. It was the humblest of beginnings, and his parents, Joseph and Mary, did not think they were important.
Jesus Christ lived obscurely for most of his life, and never travelled far. He was maligned and 【7】 by many, though he had done no wrong. And yet, billions of people now follow his teaching and find in him the guiding light for their lives. I am one of them because Christ's example helps me see the value of doing small things with great love, whoever does them and whatever they themselves believe.
The message of Christmas reminds us that inspiration is a gift to be given as well as received, and that love begins small but always grows.
I wish you all a very happy Christmas.
32、阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成篇完整的短文。
On a Sunday morning, Mom told Roger that Grandpa was on his way over. Roger grinned and tapped his drums. Grandpa once drummed in a band. He and Roger always had fun playing together. Mom added that some of Grandpa’s joints were hurting him today and he needed a rest. But Roger thought they could play for just a little while.
Roger practiced all morning. Finally, Dad’s car pulled up in front of the house. The car door opened, and Grandpa stepped out. Roger waved to Grandpa from his bedroom window. “Listen to this!” Taking a deep breath, he raised his drumsticks and began. He rocked. He rolled. He built to a lively and cheerful finish and ended with a crash of cymbals, just like Grandpa had taught him. Leaping up, Roger raced outside to Grandpa. “It was wonderful.” Grandpa said, giving Roger a hug. Then he went inside.
Sitting on the couch, Grandpa talked with Mom and played with baby Lucy. When Lucy threw her toy on the floor, Grandpa reached for it. He tried to pick it up, but the toy fell out of his hand. He tried again. The same thing happened. Roger hurried over to help and asked Grandpa to play drum together. “I’m sorry, Roger.” he apologized, “Not now.” So disappointed was Roger that he left without uttering a single word.
After lunch, Roger went to his room to get his skateboard. Grandpa was already inside, standing near the drum set. He picked up a drumstick and began to play. Tap! Tap! The drumstick clattered to the floor. Roger ran over, scooped it up and held it to the Grandpa. Grandpa rubbed his hand, his fingers red and swollen. “I can’t play today, Roger.” he said. In low spirits, Grandpa left the room. Roger got lost in thought.
