21、As I stood in line waiting to check out at my favorite store, I studied the customer in front of me. She was in her early twenties, but looked as if life had beaten her down many times. Everything about her spelled hardship.

The items in her cart included the cheapest cuts of meat, along with some inexpensive items. Carefully placed in a far corner sat a little doll, some animal stickers, and a 50%-off pretty dress.

When it was her turn and the store employee finally calculated everything and told her the cost, her face paled. She opened her purse and began counting small bills and change. Obviously she didn’t have enough. She removed much-needed goods while the cashier patiently put them away with a pleasant smile.

The child’s items remained in the cart, however. The man right behind me shouted loudly, and the young woman’s cheeks reddened with embarrassment. I wanted to pay for her groceries, but I knew that would hut her.

Instead, I turned around and said to the man in a low voice, “Be grateful you’ve never had to do that!”   And then, as she tried to decide what other necessity she could return, I said, “Take your time. I’m in no hurry.”

The woman finally reduced her groceries, paid and moved down to bag them. When my turn came, I moved forward and placed several items with the pile of items the woman had taken out and whispered “ Separate bags, same bill please.” The cashier nodded and quickly complied. Then she “accidentally” rolled several oranges hard enough so that they flew past the lady and onto the floor. As the woman kindly ran to pick up the runaway fruit, I quickly put the two extra bags into her cart, along with a twenty-dollar bill.

That night, as I sat with my husband, my thoughts went to the Lady who I hoped was enjoying a hearty meal with her little girl, and I hoped silently that her life would take an easier turn soon.

【1】How did the woman in front impress the author?

A．She was interested in spelling words.

B．She had experienced hardship in life.

C．She enjoyed buying things for her kids.

D．She had just moved into the neighborhood.

【2】What did the cashier do to help the author?

A．She attracted the lady’s attention with some oranges.

B．She packed some free fruit in a bag for the woman.

C．She blamed the man who had shouted at the woman.

D．She managed to get a job appointment for the woman.

A．Refused

B．Obeyed

C．Advised.

D．Paid.

【4】Which of the following best describes the author?

22、Many people around me make a difference to the world on a daily bas — being kind in unexpected ways and sharing the generosity of their lives with others. I, like many of them, volunteer some of my time in order to give back just a little of what I am so blessed to have. I volunteered to go to Guatemala with an eyeglass team from International Relief Teams — an organization I have supported in other ways for many years.

Our team went to a small town in Guatemala, San Augustin. We set up our tables and packages of pre-made glasses in the dirty courtyard of a clinic, put up the Snellen chart (an eye chart) on a wall, and began our work.

Young and old people came from many of the surrounding towns. Most had never received an eye exam before. They waited for hours patiently in the sun, never complaining. If we could help them out, their thankfulness for a simple pair of glasses was overwhelming. Some only left with eye drops or sunglasses, and even these people expressed their gratitude sincerely. All of them were very generous with blessings and smiles. We heard over and over from people who knew their eyes needed help but they had not gone to a doctor because it was too expensive, or had not got the glasses they needed for the same reason.

It’s so easy to overlook how much difference the volunteers’ small actions can make to the lives of people in Guatemala. The glasses in my country are so easily available, but to people in Guatemala, they are not.

As those who could give them a hand, we watched their lives change. What a gift sight is — and what a difference being able to see clearly makes! Here, we’d like you to join us and take action to help people in need. And every day, those actions change lives. No action is too small; no action is ever wasted.

【1】According to Paragraph 1, the author is probably ________.

A．a major host of good deeds

B．a sponsor of an eyeglass team

【3】Which of the following words can be used to describe most people in Guatemala?

A．Kind and helpful.

B．Poor but grateful.

C．Considerate and patient.

D．Knowledgeable but unhealthy.

【4】What can we infer from Paragraph 4?

A．Rome was not built in a day.

B．Actions speak louder than words.

C．Don’t look down upon those less fortunate.

D．Don’t take what you have today for granted.

B．To ask people to volunteer in Guatemala.

C．To call on people to do good deeds in daily life.

D．To show the difficult life of people in Guatemala.

Welcome to St. Anna, our tropical paradise just off the coast of Latin America. You can spend two weeks in our luxury four-star hotel.

The Rain Forest Adventure Holiday

Every year Broughton holidays offer twelve days of unforgettable adventure in a tropical rain forest. You may have a choice of Borneo, Malaysia, Indonesia, or even to the greatest rain forest of them all, the mighty Amazonian forest.

You will fly to our special base camps at the edge of the forest, where you will be given five days of survival training, and talks on the local wildlife.

Remember that these adventure holidays take you deep into the wilderness, and they are not suitable for families with young children.
