Question

I drove a school bus as a part-time job. Thirty-nine children all had stories to tell me about their summers. Charlie though __16__me. From the first day on Charlie was __17__. If a fight broke out I didn’t have to turn my __18__to know who had started it. If a girl was crying chances were that Charlie had __19__ her hair. No matter how I spoke to him gently or __20__ he wouldn’t say a word. He’d just __21__ me with those big gray eyes of his. One day I found a small tin heart (小锡心 )on the bus was gone. “Does anyone know __22__happened to the little heart here” I asked. Some children cried “Charlie __23__it Search him” When I asked him to come forward his gaze( 注视) __24__ my eyes. I stuck my hand into one of his pockets. Then I felt it—the __25__ outline(轮廓 )of the small tin heart. Charlie stared at me for a long time. There were no __26__ in those big gray eyes no plea( 恳求) for mercy. He seemed to be waiting for what he’d come to __27__ from the world. I was about to pull the tin heart out of Charlie’s pocket __28__I stopped myself. Let him keep it, I said “It must have fallen off before I got here.” Without a word Charlie __29__ to his seat. When he got off at his stop, he didn’t so much as glance at me. Several days later just that__30__ Charlie moved away… A dozen years after retirement we met in the street. To my __31__, he hugged me. After he let go, he pulled something from his pocket and held it up for me to see. An old key chain… bent out of __32__, the lettering faded (消褪). You __33__probably guess what it was—the little tin heart. “You were the only one who kept trying.” He explained. We __34__ again and went our separate ways. I am so __35__ I’d done a good job.

7.C 有谁知道“小锡心”哪儿去了吗？happen“发生”。

16.C 让我吃惊的是，他拥抱了我。delight高兴；sadness悲伤；surprise吃惊；annoyance恼怒。查理一直都是个叛逆的孩子，很排斥我，这次见面能主动拥抱我，给我更多的是“吃惊”，而不是“高兴”。

考点：考查故事类短文阅读

点评：：叛逆的孩子往往不讨人喜欢，然而大人可能没有意识到，内心最脆弱、最缺乏爱和温情滋润的正是这样的孩子。对他们多一点耐心，多付出一点关爱，也许，他们的一生会因你而改变……
