On the cold morning, my brother suddenly became unconscious. He then rushed to hospital and it turned out that she had a severe brain disease. When he finally came back home, we did that most families would do. We tried to help him as many as we could. One afternoon, he was at home alone for a few hours. When we returned, all the furnitures in his bedroom had been rearranged. My mom asks in surprise, “Who did that?” My brother replied delighted, “Me.” At that moment, we were all greatly amazed at that he had recovered a lot and had the strength to moving things.

5 . Twenty years ago, I drove a taxi for a living. One night I went to pick up a passenger at 2:30 AM. When I arrived to collect, I found the building was dark except for a single light in a ground floor window.
I walked to the door and knocked. “Just a minute,” answered a weak, elderly voice.
After a long pause, the door opened. A small woman in her eighties stood before me. By her side was a small suitcase.
I took the suitcase to the car, and then returned to help the woman. She took my arm and we walked slowly toward the car.
She kept thanking me for my kindness. “It’s nothing,” I told her. “I just try to treat my passengers the way I would want my mother treated.”
“Oh, you’re such a good man,” she said. When we got into the taxi, she gave me an address, and then asked, “Could you drive through downtown?”
“It’s not the shortest way,” I answered quickly.
“Oh, I’m in no hurry,” she said. “I’m on my way to a hospice (临终医院). I don’t have any family left. The doctor says I don’t have very long.”
I quietly reached over and shut off the meter (计价器).
For the next two hours, we drove through the city. She showed me the building where she had once worked, the neighborhood where she had lived, and the furniture shop that had once been a ballroom where she had gone dancing as a girl.
Sometimes she’d ask me to slow down in front of a particular building and would sit staring into the darkness, saying nothing.
At dawn, she suddenly said, “I’m tired. Let’s go now.”
We drove in silence to the address she had given me.
“How much do I owe you?” she asked.
“Nothing,” I said.
“You have to make a living,” she answered. “Oh, there are other passengers,” I answered.
Almost without thinking, I bent and gave her a hug. She held onto me tightly. Our hug ended with her remark, “You gave an old woman a little moment of joy.”
1. The old woman chose to ride through the city in order to ________.

A．show she was familiar with the city

B．see some places for the last time

C．let the driver earn more money

D．reach the destination on time

2. The taxi driver did not charge the old woman because he ________.

A．wanted to do her a favor

B．shut off the meter by mistake

C．had received her payment in advance

D．was in a hurry to take other passengers

3. What can we learn from the story?

A．Giving is always a pleasure.

B．People should respect each other.

C．An act of kindness can bring people great joy.

D．People should learn to appreciate others’ concern.

I opened the door and was welcomed as usual by Shredder. He ran towards me, jumped up and put a paw on my shoulder. “Okay, boy,” I said, rubbing his ears the way he liked. He moved his tail happily. I usually played with him all day. But with so many things on my schedule these days—meetings, dinners, many houses to clean—I didn’t have time. I told Shredder to lie down.” I have to get to work now,” I said. I headed downstairs to clean the bedroom. All of a sudden, pain shot through my head. It was unlike anything I’d ever felt—10 times worse. Things dropped out of my hands, and I fell to the ground. I knew someone who had died from a brain aneurysm (脑部动脉瘤).

I had to get help before it was too late. I should call 911, but the nearest phone was in the kitchen. I tried to stand up, but couldn’t. I knew I had to get upstairs. It felt like my head was going to explode. I managed to move to the kitchen. But later I couldn’t move anymore. I was helpless. Through the sharp pain, I looked up. Shredder stared back at me from the top step. Did he think I was playing?” Come here,” I whispered, trying to make my voice sound playful. He stared with doubt.” Come on. boy,” I said. Shredder ran down the steps and stood next to me. His tail stopped moving. “Help me, Shredder,” I said, holding his collar (颈圈) with my left hand. He climbed a step and then stopped. “Up!” I said. He looked back at me as if to say, “Is this right?” “Go,” I whispered. He started to drag me. My left arm went frozen. I had to look at Shredder’s collar to make sure I kept my hold.

Para1:   Shredder got me to the top of the steps.
    1    .
Para2:   The medical workers gave me a quick check.
    2    .

A．After taking the medicine, I felt much better. The medical workers told me excitedly that I suffered the abrupt pain just because of the high-stress working. What I really needed was to have a rest. So they advised me to take several days off. From then on, I started to take good care of my body. And the most important thing I learnt was that more time should be spent with my little life saver Shredder, so I bought a cat to stay with us.

B．Then I started to move with difficulty. Shredder pulled and dragged, taking me to the kitchen. Finally I managed to reach the phone and called 911. Shredder sat down next to me. “Good boy,” I whispered. The medical workers showed up in minutes. Shredder jumped to his feet and started barking. “It’s OK.” I said. He seemed to understand that they were here to help, and sat back down.

C．Both of us were tired and breathless. I felt half of my body went frozen. With a strong desire to survive, I whispered to him, “Come on, boy, go to find your favourite cans.” His eyes sparkled and his tail moved wildly when he heard the word “cans”. Leaving me behind, he ran towards the kitchen excitedly. Now I took out my phone, and called 911. After that, I closed my eyes to have a rest.

D．“What’s wrong with you?” One worker asked. “My head is paining me,” I told her. Then they discovered a brain problem, which could cause extreme pain in my head. After four days, I left the hospital and went home. Shredder was happy to see me, moving his tail happily. And I was so moved that I hugged him tightly. It was the dog who saved my life and I was extremely grateful to him for his help.

The first a few weeks of the term are over and it has definitely been a new experience.

Having school lesson online is something I’ve only read about in articles where discuss future technology. Now I am living in the future! They took me some time to get used to my new Internet classroom. At first, I can’t always hear what the teacher or my classmates was saying. Sometimes I wasn’t well preparing. Slowly, however, I adapted the new learning environment but now things are going smoothly. Of course, I still miss seeing my classmates and play together outside. Hopefully, we can meet in person soon.

A man stops at a flower shop to order some flowers to be wired to his mother who lived two hundreds miles away. As he got out his car, he noticed a little girl sobbing there. When ask why, she said, “I want to buy a rose for my mother, and I have no money.” The man bought a rose for the girl. As they were leaving he offered the girl the ride home. But the girl directed him to a cemetery, when she placed the rose on a fresh dug grave (坟墓). The man returned to the flower shop, canceled the wire order, picking up a bouquet and drove to her mother’s house.

10 . There were smiling children all the way. Clearly they knew at what time the train passed their homes and they made it their business to stand along the railway, wave to complete strangers and cheer them up as they rushed towards Penang. Often whole families stood outside their homes and waved and smiled as if those on the trains were their favorite relatives. This is the simple village people of Malaysia. I was moved.

I had always traveled to Malaysia by plane or car, so this was the first time I was on a train. I did not particularly relish the long train journey and had brought along a dozen magazines to read and reread. I looked about the train. There was not one familiar face. I sighed and sat down to read my Economics.

It was not long before the train was across the Causeway and in Malaysia. Johore Baru was just another city like Singapore, so I was tired of looking at the crowds of people as they hurried past. As we went beyond the city, I watched the straight rows of rubber trees and miles and miles of green. Then the first village came into sight. Immediately I came alive; I decided to wave back.

From then on my journey became interesting. I threw my magazines into the waste basket and decided to join in Malaysian life. Then everything came alive. The mountains seemed to speak to me. Even the trees were smiling. I stared at everything as if I was looking at it for the first time.

The day passed fast and I even forgot to have my lunch until I felt hungry. I looked at my watch and was surprised that it was 3:00 pm. Soon the train pulled up at Butterworth. I looked at the people all around me. They all looked beautiful. When my uncle arrived with a smile, I threw my arms around him to give him a warm hug (拥抱). I had never done this before. He seemed surprised and then his weather-beaten face warmed up with a huge smile. We walked arm in arm to his car.

I looked forward to the return journey.
