1 . I always hold the view that every act of kindness can eventually change the world as generosity, gratitude and trust.

I was parking at a hiking road when a man in the car next to mine looked out and started to ask me for help.“No _______ .” I told him, as I was willing to help anyone in   _______ . It turned out that his battery was   _______ and no one would help jump to start his car!

I_______him if he had cables (缆绳), which he did, and in less than five_________I gave him a jump start and his car     _______   at the drop of a hat. He thanked me and asked “How much do I _______you?” and I looked at him in _______ and said “Not a thing!”

He said “You won’t believe it _______   I’ve been sitting here for so long and I asked at least three people to   ________ me and no one would do it”. That made me really     ________. I was thinking that perhaps because of how he ________   , his background, or whatever,     ________ might think he was going to ask them for   ________     or something and just automatically said “no” without even ________   that they could help him so________ . He also told me that one man     ________ him “My battery is old so it can’t help you”.

I was   ________ that the battery is like the love in our hearts. We get   ________   more if we give it away to others! And it doesn’t     ________ our hearts to give. I’m happy that I charged his battery and he charged my “battery” with love. I got much more than he offered to me.

2 . It was a very cold Friday. When I observed the ____ falling onto my car, I really began to wonder if I was going to ____ it on lime. Of course I must, because I have no ____.

About two weeks ago, what my ____ Ellen bad talked about was her Christmas concert to be held in her school and some rumors about it. “Mom, Rachel was ____ to sing alone, but she’s not! Linda will replace her to do it.” “Mom, you won’t believe it, ____ Lexie’s whole family is coming to the concert, even from another ____!” Making a long way out of state to see third graders sing Christmas carob seemed to be a pretty big deal (待遇) for her.

When I sat in traffic, I thought about all the school ____ I had attended alone. Ellen never mentioned it, but I wonder ____ she fell about me being the only one who ever came to her events. My own family lived out of town, and her father and his family       ____ quite succeeded in filling those things into their schedules. I ____ if it bothered her.

I entered the ____ hall and found a vacant seal near the front. From her place onstage, Ellen saw me ____ for the chair, and she smiled. 1 was ____   enough to hear the loud conversation of the children onstage.

“Look, Ellen, there is my uncle and my cousin. They came all the way from West Virginia. I can’t believe my whole family is here!” Ellen ____ at Lexie and said, “My whole family is here, too! Look, there she is!” Ellen gave me a big smile. I smile back at her, never once ____ the melting snow dripping off my head.

3 . Since last March, I have been visiting a pet clinic because of my cat Eddie. The clinic is in northern Massachusetts, about two hours from our home on Cape Cod. I expected it would be terrible depressing but it’s just the opposite. I have been so surprised at what I have learned there.

Now I believe happiness is something to love in any form. If I’ve ever know an angel, it is Keri, Eddie’s technician. Both Eddie and I are under her loving care. She gives Eddie his medicines.She gives me emotional guidance as well.

I can offer tell when it’s someone’s first visit. They’re usually crying. I think the reason why the rest of us don’t cry has nothing to do with hope. I think it has to do with another ingredient of happiness. When we think about our pet’s distant future, even if they’re healthy, w will feel sad. Keri, in her prayerful voice says, “Focus on loving Eddie right now.” “Right now” is the only way people think at he clinic.

Instant connection is what happens in the waiting room. We join together to tenderly life a lame dog. We take turns distracting a cat with sparkly toys so she doesn’t chew her bandage. Nobody asks for help. Everybody offers. We just do it.

When the end of life is very near, owners often believe their pet’s happiness is more important than something like a strict diet. A young fellow whose pet dog suffers from canner says, “He can have anything he wants now.” So I guess an element of happiness is not so much the length of a life but the joy and peace that life contains.

At this place, the focus is not on dying, and it’s not on living. The focus, for pets and for people, is on living happily.

1. What does Keri stress most according to Paragraph 3?

A．Living is happy.

B．Time is precious.

C．Hope is certain.

D．Love is everything.

2. What does instant connection in the waiting area wean?

A．They live in harmony.

B．They help each other.

C．They are full of love.

D．They ask for help.

3. Why does a young fellow have his pet eat anything it wants?

A．He wants his pet to gain weight.

B．He likes to do whatever he wants.

C．An Lovely Angel of a Pet Clinic.

D．The Ingredients of Happiness.

As we all know, we can meet with various challenges in our life. Facing with challenges, how should we do?

9 . During World War I the Red Cross set up a program for people to send letters to soldiers in Europe so they would never be lonely. During the course of this program a soldier received a letter from a woman he didn’t know and had never met. She asked him the typical things and he wrote a return letter with the typical answers.

As their letters became more frequent they realized that they had much in common and a friendship was formed. Though the ever0increasing letters they came to know each other more and be looked forward to them as he moved ever forward into combat and danger.

He would look like countless other soldiers so he told her he would hold a bouquet of carnations（康乃馨）and she said she would be carrying a particular book. If their love was real they could meet.

He bent to kiss her cheek, but she pushed him off. Instead she handed him the book and walked off. Confused, he suddenly turned around and a beautiful woman was standing and smiling before him.

“I had to be sure, “she said to him, “if you were the man of personality I dreamed about. And you are.” And she came into his arms and they kissed for the first time under the big clock in the center of Grand Central Station.

10 . I often thought that politeness was out of fashion. Very rarely have I met so______a person in such a busy and noisy______. Lately, I would have to change my______.

Not long ago, when I went to a coffee place with two of my grown-up______, I______such a human being face to face. The place was full of______as usual and we had to climb steep(陡峭) stairs in order to find an empty table.______enjoying coffee and snacks, we went down the______stairs, where there was hardly any space for another person to either climb up or come down.

Just as I was in the______of the stairs, a gentleman______the main entrance of the café which was right in front of the staircase. I was sure I would be______roughly by this man going up. I kept coming down as fast as I could. My daughters were already down. They looked up at me______, hoping I would reach them before the stranger started walking up the stairs.

Nearly reaching them, I noticed the man still standing near the door. I______my daughters and passed the stranger at the entrance door which he kept holding open. I looked back thinking he was still at the door,______whether to go in or find another less______place. I saw him going up the stairs, two steps at a time.
