2 . Twenty years ago, I drove a cab for a living. Once I arrived in the middle of the night for a pick-up at an old building. I walked to the door and knocked.

“Just a minute,” answered a weak and elderly voice.

After a long pause, the door opened. A small woman in her 80’s stood in front of me. By her side was a small nylon suitcase. The apartment looked as if no one had lived in it for years. I helped her take the suitcase to the cab. She kept thanking me for my kindness.

When we got in the cab, she gave me an address, then asked, “Could you drive through downtown?”

“It’s not the shortest way,” I answered.

“Oh, I don’t mind,” she said. “I’m in no hurry. I’m on my way to a hospice（收容所）. ”

“I don’t have any family left,” she continued “The doctor says I don’t have very long. This would be the last time for me to go downtown.”

I quietly reached over and shut off the meter. For the next few hours, we drove through the city. She showed me the building where she had once worked. We drove through the neighborhood where she and her husband had lived. When the sun rose, she suddenly said, “I’m tired. Let’s go now.”

We drove in silence to the address she had given me. Then we arrived at a low building. Two orderlies came out to the cab.

“How much do I owe you?” she asked.

“Nothing,” I said.

Almost without thinking, I bent and gave her a hug. She held onto me tightly.

“You gave an old woman a little moment of joy,” she said. “Thank you.”

I squeezed her hand, then walked into the dim morning light. On a quick review, I don’t think that I have done anything more important in my life.

2. Why did the cab driver shut off the meter?

B．Because the cab ride would take a lot of time and he would run out of gas.

C．Because he wanted to fulfill the old woman’s wish without charge.

D．Because he knew how much money the cab ride would cost.

3. What was “a little moment of joy” for the old woman in the story?

9 . One day, I saw a boy shop alone at the shop I worked. He chose some school things he wanted and went to the checkout.

The young shop assistant told him he needed to pay $37.60. The boy became very sad and said he only had $20. He took out one thing at a time, and at last he got down to his $20. With eyes full of tears, he asked if he could call his mom to get him home. When he got through, it sounded like his mom was too busy to arrive at once.

He tried not to cry and walked outside to sit on the chair in front of the shop. This was too much for the young assistant. She kept looking outside to see if the boy was all right. Then she said, “I wish I could pay for the rest of his things.” One of the other girls said she had a few dollars. Then two others said they could help, too.

These four young girls pooled their money and found they had more than enough to pay for the boy’s things. Then they chose more school things, and gave them all to the boy. The boy laughed happily. His mom arrived much later, but he didn’t just run to the car, he ran back into the shop and called out, “Thank you!”

I was so proud of my team that day. They did something wonderful for that boy and also found the happiness of giving.
