Recently I accepted a challenge to join Naasih, a motivational speaker, on a voyage through India designed to refresh my spirit. After too many hours, Naasih and I arrived in the slum(贫民窟) just as the sun was breaking across the smoggy Delhi sky. It seemed as if the small houses extended for miles, an ocean of tin roofs and laundry lines.

Finally, Naasih stopped and turned to me. “Give me your bag,” he said. I handed it to him. I had promised to follow his directions, and in return, I was hoping to find whatever I thought was missing from my life. “I will meet you back here at sunset,” Naasih said and walked away.

I began to walk through the streets. No one paid too much attention to the tall, hairless man walking among them. My throat was dry, my stomach turning over with hunger. And then I saw a small house and I knocked softly on the door.

A young, skinny man, no older than 25, came to answer it. As I soon found out, the man is named Sankar and he was a Lakers fan. I also learned that he was a recently graduated

university student who had left his family to go after a dream of success in the big city. Instead, he had found work in the back of a restaurant.

After lunch, Sankar took me to play basketball with a group of children in a trash-filled field down the road. The sun was beginning to fall as the laughter of the basket games echoed (发出回声) across the slum. I had been so caught up in my day with Sankar. I had started the morning in fear and exhaustion, but I was ending the day connected to something much larger.

After the game, Sankar and I walked to Rata Road. There stood Naasih. He said, “You’re shining, Leon.” I had been knocked entirely out of my comfort zone, and I felt that wild burst of life that had been missing from my own.

24. Why did the author come to Sankar's home?

A. To play a game with him.

B. To respond to Naasih's request.

C. To relieve his hunger and thirst.

D. To learn how disadvantaged people live.

25. What can we learn about Sankar?

A. He doesn't live as he dreams.

B. He finds a good job in the city.

C. He studies cooking in university.

D. He has a great talent for basketball.

26. What does Naasih mean by saying “You're shining, Leon” in the last paragraph?

A. Leon is an inspiration to him.

B. Leon has changed his state of mind.

C. Leon is popular among the children.

D. Leon is good at connecting with others.

27. What is the best title of the passage?

A. A Chance to Make Acquaintances

B. The Power of Sport Games

C. The Pleasure from Indian Slums

D. A Voyage for Finding the Self

At this very moment you’re thirsty and hunting for something to drink. So you start walking towards the drinks machine at school. As you drink you hear your teacher say those frightenin g words: “Could I see you for a moment in the classroom, please?”

You can almost feel your blood pressure rise as you walk to your English class. She’s always picking on you. What can it be this time? You think of the test you did last Friday. Now your mind is racing, your heart is pounding, and your forehead is pouring with sweat. In situations like this you will often feel like running away but you may also feel like hitting
