One silly question I simply can’t stand is “How do you feel?”  Usually the question is asked of a man in action—a man on the go, walking along the streets, 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 have 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 that morning. It starts worrying him 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 instance, to ask “How do you feel?” if you’re visiting a close friend in the hospital. But if the fellow is walking on both legs, hurrying to make 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.”
小題1:The question “How do you feel?” seems to be correct and suitable when asked of_________.
A．a(chǎn) friend who is illB．a(chǎn) man working at his desk
C．a(chǎn) person having lost a close friendD．a(chǎn) stranger who looks somewhat worried
小題2:George Bernard Shaw’s reply in the passage shows his________.
A．cheerfulnessB．clevernessC．a(chǎn)bilityD．politeness
小題3:The underlined ‘You’ve put a bug in his ear’ in the 1st paragraph means that you’ve _____.
A．made him laugh B．shown concern for him
C．made fun of himD．given him some kind of warning

It was a winter morning, just a couple of weeks before Christmas 2005. While most people were warming up their ears, Trevor, my husband, had to get up early to ride his bike four kilometers 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 (食品雜貨) 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 (影響) us to be more mindful of ways we, too, can share with others. No matter how or how small, an act of kindness shows that someone cares. And the results can be everlasting.
小題1:Why was the bike so important to the couple?
A．The man’s job was bike racing.B．It was their only possession.
C．It was a nice Kona 18 speed.D．They used it for work and daily life
小題2:We can infer from the text that ________
A．The couple worked 60 hours a weekB．people were busy before Christmas
C．the stranger brought over the bikeD．life was hard for the young family
小題3: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.
小題4:What does the couple learn from 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.

She handed me a five dollar bill through the car window, then turned and walked away. I don’t know her name, nor where she was going ,but I know I will never forget that stranger who generously saved me from a lot of frustration（挫折） and prevented me from walking a mile or more to my destination.
That day My husband, Leo, and I were already a half hour late for an important conference . We had taken the wrong fork in the expressway, and found ourselves stuck in traffic that was blocked for four miles due to a serious accident.
Just then, one tapped on the window on the passenger side. It was a short, medium-built woman, who was all bundled up in jacket and scarf, wearing jeans and boots. Surprised, I was reluctant, at first, to roll the window down. What could she possibly want? I lowered the window just enough to hear what the woman had to say. Through the window, she shoved a five dollar bill. “I don’t have change,” she said, “but here is an extra five dollar bill. Use it to pay for your parking spot.” I was floored! Was this woman, whom I’d never seen before, actually giving me this much money? Yes, that was exactly what she was doing! She wouldn’t take the check I offered her for the cash. She just walked away.

Some people are lucky enough to be born with a good sense of direction and even if they have only visited a place once, they will be able to find it again years later.
　　I am one of those unlucky people who have poor sense of direction and I may have visited a place time after time but I still get lost on my way there. When I was young I was so shy that I never dared ask complete strangers the way and so I used to wander round in circles and hope that by some chance I would get to the place I was heading for.
　　I am no longer too shy to ask people for direction, but I often receive replies that puzzle me. Often people do not like to admit（承認(rèn)）that they didn’t know their hometown and will insist on telling you the way, even if they do not know it; others, who are anxious to prove that they know their hometown very well, will give you a long list of directions which you can not possibly hope to remember, and still others do not seem to be able to tell between their left and their right and you find in the end that you are going in the opposite（相反的）direction to that in which you should be going.
　　If anyone ever asks me the way to somewhere, I always tell them I am a stranger to the town in order to avoid giving them wrong direction but even this can have embarrassing results.
　　Once I was on my way to work when I was stopped by a man who asked me if I would direct him the way to the Sunlight Building. I gave my usual reply, but I had not walked on a few steps when I realized that he had asked for directions to my office building. However, at this point, I decide it was too late to turn back and search for him out of the crowd behind me as I was going to meet with someone at the office and I did not want to keep him waiting.
　　Imagine my embarrassment when my secretary showed in the very man who had asked for directions of my office and his astonishment when he recognized me as the person he had asked.
小題1:What is the writer going to do when someone asks him for direction?
　  
A．He will direct the right way to the person willingly.
　		B．He will reply to it by the means of being a stranger to the town.
　		C．He will give the very person long list of direction.
　		D．He is going to show the man an opposite direction.
小題2:Why did the writer consider himself to be an unlucky dog?
A．Because of his poor sense of direction.
B．Because he always forget the way to home.
C．Because he did not have any friend.
D． Because he used to be shy and dared not ask others the way.
小題3:How did the visitor feel when he was showed into the very room?
A．He felt strange.B．He felt embarrassed.
C．He felt very sad.D．He felt astonished.
小題4:Who showed the right way to the interviewee according to the passage?
A．Someone we don’t know.B．The writer did it for himself.
　		C．The secretary did so.D．A warm-hearted old lady did itI.

The Girl with the Cut - out Face

My mother and I traveled to the house   48   Anna lived with an Italian family. Anna looked like a question mark on legs,   49  she had lovely, clear eyes and a gentle manner. I could see the   50  to my mother. “So nice to meet you,” she said to me. “Do you have a trunk （象鼻；行李箱）？”
Did she think that I was an elephant? No, she wanted to run   51  and hide in the trunk of my car. The family that   52  her said that she always wanted to   53 .
The last time I saw Anna she was placed in a smaller old - age facility in Brooklyn.
  54  Aunt Anna, I’m not the least bit ashamed of you. I’m   55  about you now for many to see, with your sweet young face showing under a pretty bow.
And you finally found that escape you were seeking.
