One day, many years ago, when I was working as a psychologist(心理學家) in England, David was brought into my office. His face was pale（蒼白的）and he looked at his own feet.
David lost his father when he was two years old and lived with his mother and grandfather ever since. But the year before he turned 13, his grandfather died and his mother was killed in a car accident. His teacher told me that he refused to talk to others from then on.
How could I help him?
David didn't say a word. As he was leaving, I put my hand on his shoulder."Come back next week if you like. "I said.
He came and I suggested we play a game of chess. He agreed. After that we played chess every Wednesday afternoon--in complete silence. Usually, he arrived earlier than agreed.   It seemed  that he liked to be with me. But why didn't he ever look at me?
"Perhaps he simply needs someone to share his pain （痛苦）with," I thought.
Months later, when I was looking at his head, he suddenly looked up at me. "It's your turn," he said. After that day, David started talking. He finally got friends in school and he even joined a bicycle club. He wrote to me a few times. Now he had re ally started to live his life.
Maybe I gave David something. But I learned a lot from him. I learned how time makes it possible to get over what seems to be painful. David showed me how to help people like him. All they need is a shoulder to cry on, a friendly touch and an ear that listens.

Choose the best answer (根據(jù)文章內(nèi)容，選擇最恰當?shù)拇鸢?
Traditionally, the President is the highest-pad public employee. A salary of $ 400,000, along with other benefits, is paid to the President annually. But President Obama’s income for 2008 was far more than that, according to the White House.
The White House recently published the tax returns (納稅申報單)of Obama and Vice –president Joe Biden. Tax returns are reports of tax that a person has to pay. They often include income information used to calculate the tax. In the US, people whose incomes are over a certain amount have to file tax returns(納稅申報)every year. The tax returns of government officials are open to the public. This transparency helps to prevent corruption(腐敗)。
From Obama’s tax returns , we can see that the President and first lady President’s two books Dreams From My Father and The Audacity of Hope(《無畏的夢想》). The two books, published in 1995 and 2006,are very popular and have been on the bestseller(暢銷書)list for a long time.
The Obama’s income is down from 2007,when they made ＄4.2 million. However, that is still far more than former US President George Bush earned, who reported a total of ＄719,274 for his final year. The Obamas’ income also greatly exceeded(超出)that of Biden, who reported a family income of ＄2269,256.That’s about a tenth of what the Obamas earned. As Vice-president, Biden earns a salary of ＄220,000.US families earn an average income of about ＄50,000.
The Obama’s tax returns also show that together, the President and his wife paid about ＄933,000 in taxes. They gave $172,050 —nearly 6.5 percent of their earnings —to different charity groups. In the US, if a person gives his money to churches and non-profit(非盈利)organizations, the law reduces his or her taxes. This is one reason why rich people in the US like to give money to charity.

小題1:_______had the highest income in 2008.
A．ObamaB．BidenC．BushD．George
小題2:How much did Obama and his wife earn in 2008?
A．$400,000B．$2,660,000C．$4,200,000D．$719,274
小題3:In the US, which people have to file tax returns?
A．Everybody
B．Wealthy people
C．Government officials
D．People whose incomes are over a certain amount.
小題4:The Obamas have given_______ percent of their earnings to charity.
A．10B．6.5C．9.7D．4.3
小題5:Why should the tax returns of government officials be open to the public?.
A．Because it can help to prevent corruption
B．Because it can make government officials well-known to the public.
C．Because it can help government officials to get more money.
D．Because the government wants them to pay more taxes to the public.
小題6:According to the law, if a rich man gives his money to charity,_______.
A．he will be praised by the people
B．he will pay fewer taxes
C．he will be free of taxes
D．he will get some extra money from the government.
