AI have two friends who were poor and needed my help.The first friend was in his final year in University while I was in my third year.He needed some money for school fees，and he came to me.As a student，I didn’t have much，but I gave him what he needed on the agreement that he would pay back.I didn’t trouble him after that.Later on，after school，he got into another period of deep financial stress and called me on the phone to borrow some more，promising that he’d pay all of it back once he lands a job.Out of kindness，I still gave him what he needed.He was so grateful.It’s so hard to find someone willing to lend money，even with interest.I never troubled him after that.Fast forward a few months later.One evening，I was feeling happy.My heart was full of love.I felt like having a special act of kindness.And then I thought，“Why not give up my friend’s money? Things are so difficult for him.”So I called him，saying I didn’t need his money.He was shocked! He couldn’t believe it.He was so happy and later sent me a message of heart-felt gratitude.Another time，a second friend had no money to pay the rented house.The owner was going to throw his things out from the house the next day.And he only had an uncle who was sometimes helping him.His uncle had promised to send the money in three months.My friend called me and told me his trouble.It happened that the day before my father had given me some money for my monthly use.Knowing somehow that my friend needed that money more than I did，I gave it all to him for free.In life，it’s the small but powerful actions of love that matter.When life is over，that’s what counts.We’re love.Love unites us.Love is the key.1．The writer’s first friend borrowed money from him again because ________.A．he had paid back the borrowed moneyB．he would soon have a good jobC．he offered the writer interestD．he was really in trouble答案 D解析细节理解题。
