One silly question I simply can't understand is “Ho w do you feel？” Usually the question I asked of a man’s action—a man on the go, walking along the street or busily working at his desk。

So what do you expect him to say？He’ll probably say，“Fine, I’m all right，” but you’ve put a bug in his ear—maybe now he’s not sure. If you are a good friend, you may have seen something in his face, or his walk, that he overlooked(忽略）that morning。

It starts him worrying a little。

First thing you know，he looks in a mirror to see if everything is all right，while you go merrily on your way asking someone else。

“How do you feel?”
Every question has its time and place。

It’s perfectly acceptable, for example, to ask “How do you feel？" if you’re visiting a close friend in hospital. But if the fellow is walking on both legs, hurrying take a train, or sitting at his desk working，it's no time to ask him that silly question.
When George Bernard Shaw，the famous writer of plays，was in his eighties，someone asked him，“How do you feel?" Shaw put him in his place。

“When you reach my age，” he said, “either you feel all right or you’re dead. ”

A
It was one of the hottest days of the dry season. We had not seen rain in almost a month. The crops were dying. Cows had stopped giving milk。

The streams were long gone back into the earth。

If we didn't see some rain soon we would lose everything。

I was in the kitchen making lunch for my husband and his brothers when I saw my six—year old son，Billy, walking toward the woods。

He was obviously walking with a great effort。

. trying to be as still as possible。

Minutes after he disappeared into the woods，he came running out again, toward the house。

Moments later，however，he was once again walking in that slow purposeful long step toward the woods。

This activity went on for over an hour: walking cautiously to the woods, then running back to the house. Finally, my curiosity got the best of me。

I crept out of the house and followed him on his journey。

He was cupping both hands in front of him as he walked；being very careful not to spill the water he held in them。

Branches and thorns slapped his little face but he did not try to avoid them。

He had a much greater purpose. As I leaned in to spy on him，I saw the most amazing site.
Several large deer appeared threatening in front of him. But Billy walked right up to them。

I almost screamed for him to get away。

And I saw a baby deer lying on the ground，obviously suffering from heavy loss of water and heat exhaustion，lift its head with great effort to lap up the water cupped in my beautiful boy's hand.
I stood on the edge of the woods watching the most beautiful heart I have ever known working so hard to save a life。

As the tears that.rolled down my face began to hit the ground, they were suddenly joined by other drops.。

B篇
It was a winter morning, just a couple of weeks before Christmas 2005. While most people were warming up their cars，Trevor, my husband, had to get up early to ride his bike four kilometres away from home to work. On arrival，he parked his bike outside the back door as he usually does. After putting in 10 hours of labor, he returned to find his bike gone。

The bike，a black Kona 18 speed, was our only transport。

Trevor used it to get to work，putting in 60—hour weeks to support his young family. And the bike was also used to get groceries(食品杂货), saving us from having to walk long distances from where we live.
I was so sad that someone would steal our bike that I wrote to the newspaper and told them our story。

Shortly after that, several people in our area offered to help。

One wonderful stranger even bought a bike，then called my husband to pick it up。

Once again my husband had a way to get to and from his job. It really is an honor that a complete stranger would go out of their way for someone they have never met before. People say that a smile can be passed from one person to another，but acts of kindness from strangers are even more so. This experience has had a spreading effect in our lives because it strengthened our faith in humanity （人性) as a whole. And it has influenced（影响）us to be more mindful of ways we, too, can share with others。

No matter how big or how small，an act of kindness shows that someone cares。

And the results can be everlasting。

50. Why was the bike so important to the couple?
A. The man's job was bike racing。

B. It was their only possession(财产）。

C. It was nice Kona 18 speed。

D。

They used it for work and daily life.
51。

We can infer from the text that____________。

A. the couple worked 60 hours a week.
B。

people were busy before Christmas。

C。

the stranger brought over the bike.
D。

life was hard for the young family。

52. How did people get to know the couple’s problem？
A。

From radio broadcasts. B。

From a newspaper。

C。

From TV news. D。

From a stranger.
53. What do the couple learn their experience？
A. Strangers are usually of little help.
B. One should take care of their bike.
C。

News reports make people famous。

D. An act of kindness can mean a lot。

参考答案50-——53 DDBD
Surviving the boredom of a school day can be bad enough，but when you have to worry about school gangs as well it's enough to make
any student want to stay at home and under the covers！Unfortunately，gang culture can be found in many British schools, and it brings with it negative, and dangerous, side effects。

The presence of weapons at or near school, the appearance of graffiti on buildings and lockers，and pressure to blow off school work and exams all follow where the gangs lead. None of these things contribute to a good education，but for school gangs that’s exactly the point — school is for being popular and having fun，not learning anything or preparing for the future. Keep these tips in mind and say goodbye to school gangs.
Know your own mind。

Often it is those with low self—esteem and a poor self—image who become victims of school gangs. These students don’t know their own mind or have a clear picture of what they would like to do in the future，so it is easy to be influenced by those who don't want to do any work today.
Keep yourself busy。

School gangs often hang around at or near schools with no real reason. Students who have nothing scheduled can easily be sucked into these groups, but if you are busy, busy，busy and always on the move there will be less chance that you'll have the time to stay and ”play”.
Choose your friends wisely. With a core group of like-minded friends, it is much easier to stay away from school gangs because you simply don't need them。

Remember that gangs are a source of power for members，but they can also be a source of intimidation.
Work hard and have fun. No one likes a teacher's pet, but school gangs in particular hate them. Work hard and have fun at school，but don’t annoy anyone with extreme goody-two-shoes (伪君子）behaviour 。

School gangs can be a nightmare if you must deal with them constantly. Stay away from gang hangouts and gang members，and don’t involve yourself in any gang related activities。

31。

For the school gangs, school is _____。

A. where they are instructed to behave themselves。
