Still, I needed to get a week’s worth of groceries for my family. I parked my car, looked down at my list, and hoped I could afford it all.As I approached the door, I saw an old man with kind eyes and a gentle smile. He said he was collecting for a local food bank. He handed me a second shopping list and asked if I could help. I smiled back, took the list and walked into the store. I really wanted to help but wasn’t sure whether I could this time.I walked through the store, getting what I needed. When I looked down at my full cart I wondered again if I even had enough to pay for it all. Then as I put my own list back into my pocket I remembered the food bank list under it. I smiled. I went over and picked up of my wallet, but my heart felt six times larger when I did it. And when everything was totaled, I had just enough to pay.It takes so little to make our world a better place. A few dollars can help to fill a child’s hungry belly. A smile and hug can help to heal a hurting heart. An encouraging word can inspiresomeone else to live and to love. A random（偶然的）act of kindness can change another’s day and life.

A small act of kindnessCThere is a story about a man who lost his legs and left arm in an accident. After the accident, only a finger and thumb on his right hand remained.He was a brilliant, creative, and educated man. He had gained a lot of experience while traveling around the world, so he became very depressed after his accident. He was afraid that he would spend the rest of his life suffering and would no longer be able to spend his life in a meaningful way. Then, he realized that he still had partial function of his right hand and could stillwrite even though it was very difficult. An idea occurred to him. "Why not write to other people who need encouragement?"He wrote to the prison ministry about sending letters to the prisoners. The prison minister replied, "Writing to the prisoners is acceptable, but your letters will not be answered."Filled with excitement, the man knew he could write his letters. He began sending one-way messages of God’s love, hope, strength, and encouragement. He wrote twice a week, testing his strength and ability to the limit. He poured his heart and soul into his words and shared his experience, sense of humor, optimism, and faith.It was difficult to write those letters, especially without hope of a reply. One day he received a letter from the prison ministry. It was a short note from the officer who monitored and checked the prison mail.The letter said, "Please write on the best paper you can afford. Your letters are passed from cell to cell until they literally fall to pieces!"No matter what circumstances life may present, we all have unique experiences, abilities, and God-given talents. We can discover ways to reach others who desperately need messages of encouragement and strength.8.In order to live in a meaningful way, what did the man begin to do?A.Write encouragement letters to other people.B.Receive the school education again.C.Encourage the people who are depressed.D.Help other people with lost arms and legs.9.What do we know from the prison minister’s reply?A.The man was not allowed to wrote to the prisoners.B.The prisoners were not allowed to answer the letters.C.The man couldn’t go to see the prisoners himself.D.He was not sure if the prisoners liked receiving the letters.10.What can be inferred from the officer’s short note?A.The man would be offered free paper to write letters on.B.Some of the prisoners were not satisfied with his letters.C.His letters were very popular among the prisoners.D.The prisoners eagerly wanted to write back to the man.11.Which can be the best title of the passage?A.Stories about a helpful personB. Relationship between a writer and prisonersC.Popularity of some special lettersD. Special letters of encouragementDThe English language has a lot of words which can be used in many different ways and in many different expressions.One such example is the word matter. In fact, matter can mean just about anything. It could be one of the most useful words in the English language.Let’s get to the heart of the matter —a matter of principle(原则).If someone says that you owe(欠) him $50, but you don’t, a friend might say, “Well, you could pay him the $50. It’s not that much money. Then you won’t have to hear him say it anymore. But if you do not owe him the money, do not pay him the money. It’s a matter of principle.There is another way to use the word matter. But be careful with your choice of words.If you ask someone, “What’s the matter?”, it shows you are worried about the other person. But saying, “What’s the matter with you?”has a completely different meaning. And it usually sounds rude (粗鲁的). In fact, when you say, “What’s the matter with you?”you are suggesting that the person did something wrong or stupid.Another expression that could sound rude is to say, “It doesn’t matter to me.”Here, it depends on the context, and how you say it.Let’s say you tell someone that a friend just got a big raise at work. That person answers with, “It doesn’t matter to me.”Here, it means he or she does not care. And it sounds rude.But saying, “Oh, you pick where we eat dinner. It doesn’t matter to me.”does not sound rude. In this situation, “it doesn’t matter”shows you are easy-going(随和的).No matter how you look at it and what you say, matter is a very useful word. And it’s only a matter of time before you will become an expert on the use of matter.12.We can infer from the text that the word matter ________.A. has a wide useB. can mean moneyC. is the most used English wordD. has the most different expressions13. What is the author’s suggestion in Paragraph 4?A. Every penny counts.B. Stick to what is right.C. Follow your friend’s advice.D. Be careful when making friends.14.
