21、   For many, finding an unattended wallet filled with 400 in cash would be a source of temptation (诱惑). But the urge would no doubt be greater if you were living on the streets with little food and money. All of this makes the actions of the homeless Tom Smith even more remarkable.

After spotting a wallet on the front seat inside a parked car with its window down, he stood guard in the rain for about two hours waiting for the owner to return.

After hours in the cold and wet, he reached inside and pulled the wallet out hoping to find some ID so he could contact the driver, only to discover it contained 400 in notes, with another 50 in spare change beside it.

He then took the wallet to a nearby police station.When the car’s owner John Anderson and his colleague Carol Lawrence returned to the ear, they were shocked to find two policemen standing next to it. The policemen told them what Mr. Smith did and that the wallet was safe.

The pair were later able to thank Mr. Smith for his kindness.

Mr. Anderson said: “I couldn’t believe that the guy never took a penny. To think he is sleeping on the streets tonight when he could have stolen the money and paid for a place to stay in. This guy has nothing and yet he didn’t take the wallet for himself; he thought about others instead. It’s unbelievable. It just proves there are honest guys out there.”

Mr. Smith’s act drew much of the public’s attention and won praise from social media users after Mr. Anderson posted the story on Facebook.

Now Mr. Anderson has set up an online campaign to raise money for Mr. Smith and other homeless people in the area, which by yesterday had received 8,000. “People have been approaching him in the street; he’s had job offers and all sorts,” Mr. Anderson commented.

22、Thrown from his horse three times and repeatedly got wet to the skin while camping in a heavy rain, Chris Walker, the farmer from Gloucestershire was, at 55, the oldest of the competitors in this year’s 1,000 km race across the steppe (大草原). Despite the hardships of his eight-day journey, Walker was delighted to finish third in the annual contest.

The Mongol Derby, described as the world’s toughest horse-riding endurance race, began in 2009 as an annual event. Competitors race between checkpoints 35 km (22 miles) apart, where they change horses to ensure the animals are healthy. They spend nights at one of 28 stations, set up their own camp or enjoy the warm welcome of friendly Mongolian families.

Walker, was an hour ahead of his competitors as the race entered its eighth day but unfortunately he faced an hour and a half penalty because during one of the regular checks his horse had a high heart rate, which is forbidden during the contest.

Walker said he had gone to Mongolia to “give it a go” but realised that he stood a chance of winning after teaming up with Patrick Heffron, a competitor from Ireland, who finished third equal alongside his companion.

“The horses are quite wild. I got thrown off three times. I fell off in a marmot (土拨鼠) hole,” he said. “You’re going along and you suddenly disappear. You have to hang on to your horse for dear life or it goes off.”

Walker said it was important to form a team, mainly because falling off alone means that there was no one to help you with your horse. “Neither of us had prior desires to win this race but we realised: ‘We’re in front.’ So we pushed,” he said.

Asked whether he was attracted to return to see if he could win, Walker replied: “Probably, though I’m getting a bit old.”

【1】What do we know about Mongol Derby according to the passage?

A．It is a very challenging and boring race.

B．It has an strict limit on age for competitors.

C．It requires changing horses at certain places.

D．It is a worldwide race held every two years.

【2】Which of the following can replace the underlined word in Paragraph 3?

A．Punishment.

B．Advance.

C．Warning.

D．Schedule.

【3】What did Walker do in the race?

A．He had a very good control of his horse.

B．He saved his horse from accidental death.

C．He valued the teamwork with a partner.

D．He was motivated by great desires to win.

【4】What does the last paragraph imply?

A．Walker questioned the race result.

B．Walker wished that he were younger.

C．Walker regretted taking part in the race.

D．Walker may compete in the race next year.

23、It had been my first Christmas without Clyde. We had celebrated our forty-ninth wedding anniversary while he was ill. There were many beautiful memories. One was Clyde’s cards.

When we were first married, we had much to learn about expressing emotions, as neither of our families spoke about their feelings. Greeting cards were a great way to communicate with each other. Clyde got cards for all the special holidays like Valentine’s Day, Easter, and Mother’s Day. Sometimes, he gave me cards for no reason other than to say, “I love you.” It brightened my day when I awoke in the morning to find a card on my pillow or on the coffeemaker. Oh, how I missed those beautiful or funny cards. He always separated his name between the y and d. It made me sad to know I would never get another card signed Cly de.

One day, I went into a Goodwill Store just before closing time. I had just picked up a book titled Someone Cares when the voice on the loudspeaker blared out, “The store is closing for the day...” Having to rush to the checkout, I made a quick decision to purchase it.

Back home, I picked up my new book. A bunch of cards fell into my lap from inside the book. Surprised, I began to read them. Most of the cards seemed to be for a mother, but there were also some that appeared to be from friends. I enjoyed reading all of them.

The last one said, “To My Wife on Mother’s Day.” The words and pictures on the card were similar to those on cards Clyde had given me in the past. Looking down at the lower part of the card, I was shocked to see the signature. It read Cly de with a space in the middle between the y and d just like my husband always signed his name. At that moment, I knew Clyde’s love would always be with me. There wouldn’t be cards on my pillow or near the coffeemaker, but “Cly de” had found a way to send me one more card when I needed it most.

【1】Why did Clyde send cards to his wife on every possible occasion?

A．He regarded it a good way to communicate.

B．He continued the common practice of his family.

C．He knew his wife would be heart-broken for his death.

D．He was an emotional man enjoying expressing feelings.

【2】What do we know about the last special card the wife got?

A．It had a style different from the old ones.

B．It arrived as expected after Clyde died.

C．It was bought from a bookstore on Mother’s Day.

D．It was recognized from Clyde’s unique signature.

【3】What is the best title for the text?

A．Happy Memories.

B．Love from Books.

C．Special Delivery.

D．Strange Holiday Gifts.
