一、阅读理解
A
I once knew an old man whose bad memory made him famous. John Smith was so forgetful that he sometimes forgot what he was talking about in the middle of a sentence。

His wife had to constantly remind him about his meetings, his classes —even his meals。

Once he forgot he ate breakfast twice, at home and at school. His wife liked to remind her neighbors，“If John didn’t have his head tied on, he would forget that too！” Since Smith was a professor at a well-known university，his forgetfulness was often an embarrassment. It wasn’t that he was not clever, as some critical people tended to say, just very, very absent minded. One hot summer day，Professor Smith decided to take his children to a seaside town about a three-hour train ride away. To make the trip more interesting for his young children, he kept the name of the town a secret. However，by the time they arrived at the station, Smith forgot the name of the town he was planning to visit. Luckily, a friend of his happened to be in the station. He offered to take care of the children while Smith hurried back home to find out where he was going。

The professor’s wife was surprised to see him again so soon。

“Oh，my dear，I forgot the name o f the town." “What？You forgot
the name? May be one day you will forget my name！Now I’ll write the name of that town on a piece of paper, and you put it in your pocket and please, please don’t forget where you put it.”
Satisfied that she had solved the problem, she sent her husband off again. Ten minutes later she was astonished to see him outside the house for the third time。

“What is the matter now？”
“As you told me，I didn’t forget where I put the name of that town，but I forgot where I left our children！”

Compassion is a desire within us to help others。

With effort, we can
translate compassion into actions。

An experience last weekend showed me this is true. I work part—time in a supermarket across from a building for the elderly。

These old people are our main customers，and it’s not hard to lose patience over their slowness。

But last Sunday，one aged gentleman appeared to teach me a valuable lesson。

This untidy man walked up to my register（收款机）with a box of biscuits。

He said he was out of cash (现金），had just moved into his room，and had nothing in his cupboards. He asked if we could let him have the food on trust。

He promised to repay me the next day.
I couldn’t help staring at him。

I wondered what kind of person he had been ten or twenty years before, and what he would be like if luck had gone his way。

I had a hurt in my heart for this kind of human soul, all alone in the world. I told him that I was sorry，but store rules didn’t allow me to do so. I felt stupid and unkind saying this, but I valued my job.
Just then，another man, standing behind the first, spoke up。

If anything, he looked more pitiable。

“Change it to me,” was all he said.
What I had been feeling was pity. Pity is soft and safe and easy. Compassion，on the other hand, is caring in action. I thanked the second man but told him that was not allowed either. Then I reached into my pocket and paid for the biscuits myself. I reached into my pocket because these two men had reached into my heart and taught me compassion.
4. The aged gentleman who wanted to buy the biscuits_________。

A．promised to obey the store rules
B．forgot to take any money with him
C．hoped to have the food first and pay later
D．could not afford anything more expensive
5。

A．poor and lonely B．kind and lucky
C．friendly and helpful D．hurt and disappointed
6。

A． he felt no pity for the old gentleman
B．he wanted to keep his present job
C．he considered the old man dishonest
D．he expected someone else to pay for the old man
7。

What does the writer learn from his experience？
A．Wealth is more important than anything else
B．Helping others is easier said than done
C．Experience is better gained through practice
D．Obeying the rules means more than compassion.

My young cousin Tom seems to have endless question to ask every day。

One day，he asked me how life on earth began after watch a film. To be honest, the question remains a puzzle to me。

Therefore，in order not to let him down，I found the answer in a book. It says，“Long ago the earth was a cloud dust. The dust settled into a solid globe before billions of years. The earth became such violent that it exploded loud. Then water，that is important for life to develop, began to appear。

As
the time went on, different life forms began.”。
