Some people have a very poor sense of direction.    , I am one of them. I      a place many times but I may still get lost there the next time.
When I was a little girl, I was very shy and      asked others the way. And so I used to walk round in circle and hope that by chance I would get to the place I was going to.
Now, I am no longer     shy to ask people for directions, but I often receive helpless or even wrong information. So I try to avoid giving people wrong directions. If anyone asks      the way somewhere, I would say, " Sorry, I am a stranger here."
Once on my way to work I      by a man. He asked me      I could tell him the way to the Friendship Building. I gave him my usual reply. But just as I walked on only a few steps, I realized that he had asked the way to my office building. However, I had no time to turn back and     him. I was rushing to meet with someone at my office and I didn't want to keep him     .
When I just got to my office, the secretary showed in the man who had asked me for directions. Imagine how       I was and how surprised he was when we saw each other at the first sight!

In the Charles E. Johnson Elementary School in New York, there is a special radio. It gives people warnings（警報）about bad weather.
One day, there came a sound from the radio. This sound brought the piece of news:a heavy storm was coming. William Tom, principal（校長）of the school, asked teachers to bring children indoors and put them in a safe place at once.
Minutes later, the storm came. However, because of the warning of the radio and the quick work of the principal, no one was hurt.

It was the Greek shopkeeper who taught me about the power of being kind.
In 2008, I left Spain to study alone in London. My parents had to bring up my three younger sisters and two younger brothers, so I found three part-time jobs to pay for my studies. I worked early mornings and late nights, so I was tired, really tired, all the time.
Unfortunately, I got a cold and had a very high fever. Because I had spent all my free time working since I came to London, I hardly took part in any activities and I had no friends. Besides, I was too shy to communicate with others and ask others for help. After sleeping on the sickbed for two days, I went out to get some food. Normally, I went to the supermarket, but this time I went into the Greek shop, a small corner shop, because it was closer.
I picked up some food and gave it to the shopkeeper, who asked me, ‘You look terrible, my boy! You are not feeling well, right?’
I said YES in a low voice.
She pointed at the salami (臘腸) and bread I was buying and offered, ‘I can make you a sandwich, so you don’t have to do it yourself.’
I nodded without saying a word.
So, she made the sandwich and asked me to wait a moment. She went into the back room and came again with a bowl of hot soup.
‘It will warm you up,’ she said with a friendly smile.
What really warmed me up was not the soup. It was her smile that told me she cared me. Her kindness reminded me of my mother.
I had been quite shy, but from that day on, I did not let shyness prevent me from communicating with and being kind to others. Now I work in a children’s hospital in Africa. I love my work and people around me. I always bring my smile and kindness to them.
小題1:When did the writer leave for London? 
A．In 2003.B．In 2009.C．In 2008.D．10 years ago.
小題2:What can we learn about the writer and his family?
A．His parents could not afford his studies.
B．There are five kids in his family.
C．The writer is the youngest child in the family.
D．In 2008 the writer left London to study in Spain.
小題3:What happened to the writer?
A．He lost his part-time jobs.
B．He had an argument with his friends.
C．He got a cold and had a very high fever.
D．He was not popular at his school.
小題4:What did the shopkeeper not do for the writer?
A．She made the sandwich
B．She cooked a bowl of hot soup
C．She made some bread
D．She sold him some salami
小題5:Which of the following words can’t describe the Greek shopkeeper?

My best friend and I were in the shop that she owns. It was the middle of the afternoon. We were both very happy and making plans for the weekend. Suddenly a man entered the shop. We knew that he didn’t look like one of our usual customers, but we welcomed him _  __ anyway. Without any hesitation he pulled something out of his coat. We didn’t notice that it was a __  __ until he ordered us to go into the back with him.
After he warned us that he could fire at any time, he looked for the money everywhere, in the bank, from our wallets, and then he asked for our jewellery (珠寶) and we gave him all he wanted. Finally, he finished his “job” and left.
When I was a child, I felt safe with my parents in my home or wherever I was not alone. Then I began to understand the news and I learnt that __  __ things were happening “out there”, but I still kept thinking that those events were just other people’s __  __, not mine. From the moment the man walked out of the shop, I completely ___  ___. I always look around to see which kinds of people are possibly following me. Now I usually double-check everything: if I’ve locked myself in the car or in the house. I am always careful not to wear any jewellery. Whenever a stranger is getting too close or is trying to get information from me, I feel nervous. I know that it is wrong, and that not everyone is going to _  __ me again.
After all, I consider myself lucky, since nothing really bad happened to me or my friend, but since that day I haven’t felt safe any more. I hate that man not for having taken my jewellery and money, but for having deprived（剝奪）of my innocence.
