His poor jacket, patched (打补丁的) trousers, and worn-out shoes made him stand out from the usual Saturday morning breakfast crowd. Unforgettable were his pale blue eyes that sparkled like diamonds, large rosy cheeks, and thin lips held a steady smile.He walked toward a table by the window. A young waitress watched him and ran over to him, saying, “Here, Sir. Let me give you a hand with that chair.”Without a word, he smiled and nodded a thank you. She pulled the chair away from the table. Steadying him with one arm, she helped him move in front of the chair, and get comfortably seated. Then she pushed the table up close to him, and leaned his cane against the table where he could reach it.In a soft, clear voice h e said, “Thank you, Miss.”“You’re welcome, Sir.” She replied. “My name is Mary. I’ll be back in a moment. If you need anything, just wave at me.”After he had finished a hearty meal of pancakes, bacon, and hot lemon tea, Mary brought him the change, helping him up from his chair and out from behind the table. She handed him his cane, and walked with him to the front door. Holding the door open for him, she said, “Come back and see us, Sir!”He nodded a thank you and said softly with a smile, “You are very kind!”When Mary went to clean his table, she was shocked. Under his plate she found a business card and a note written on the napkin, under which was a $ 100 bill.The note on the napkin read, “Dear Mary, I respect you very much, and you respect yourself, too. It shows by the way you treat others. You have found the secret of happiness. Your kind gestures will shine through those who meet you.”The man she had served was the owner of the restaurant.

But do you know the cross is a very popular symbol for Christians?It came from the story of Jesus’s(耶稣) death on the cross two thousand years ago in Jerusalem. Jesus was Jewish, and at that time Jewish people were under Roman rule. Jesus was badly punished because he declared to be the Son of God and the King of the Jews. Surely, the Son of God could have saved himself from death! But the Bible says that Jesus had a reason to die that day. It was in God’s purpose that it would happen.Christians call the day that Jesus died “Good Friday”. At first, it is hard to understand how a horrible day could ever be called good. Well, the story does not end there. Jesus died and he was buried. But three days later, Jesus was alive, and the whole world was changed.Today, Christians everywhere remember this important time. They celebrate Easter. Easter is the day that Jesus rose from the dead. After his death on the cross, Jesus’s body was placed in a tomb. On the third day from then, God raised him from the dead. Jesus stayed on earth physically for several weeks. Many people saw him. Easter is the happiest time of year for Christians because they believe that Jesus had victory over death and evil and that now he lives with God the Father in heaven. But before celebrating Easter, Good Friday should be remembered. Jesus died a horrible and painful death. He suffered, though he did nothing wrong. Christians believe that Jesus was God’s substitute for humans, because humans all do wrong. He died because of humans and he died for humans.Christians often wear crosses around their necks or hang them in their homes because they believe it is a very important sign. The cross helps them remember how much God loves them. It helps them remember how much his Son had to suffer. Seeing a cross always makes them think of Jesus’s death, and what it means.58. According to the Bible, why Jesus could not save himself from death that day?A. Jesus was not afraid of death.B. Jesus was not God’s Son at all.C. Jesus should die without a reason.D. God arranged Jesus’s death for certain purpose.59. In Christians’ belief, for what reason did God want Jesus to die?A. God loved humans despite (尽管) humans’ wrong-doing, so he asked his beloved Son to diein humans’ place.B. Jesus did something wrong by claiming himself (自称) the Son of God and the King of theJewsC. God wanted His Son Jesus to live with Him in heaven.D. God wanted “Good Friday” and “Easter” to be remembered by humans.60. It can be inferred from the passage that ____.A. a cross is a piece of jewelry or an image in a painting for ChristiansB. Christians call the day that Jesus died “Good Friday” mainly to reduce their pain for loss ofJesusC. If Jesus hadn’t returned to life, people would often wear crosses around their necks or hangthem in their homesD. Christians like crosses because crosses always remind them of God’s love and Jesus’s deathD根据短文内容，从短文后的七个选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。
