    Yesterday was my stepmom’s birthday. I hadn’t been home for a long time so I wanted to stop by the house to see her on this special day.
    I have been struggling financially so I was afraid of the long trip. Gas is so expensive nowadays! Anyway, I filled my tank with gas and set off.
    I stopped at the shopping mall and found a present. It was the perfect gift and I knew she
    would love it. But when I got to the cashier my card was declined! I did not have enough money in my account to pay for the gift!
    So I pondered the issue for a few minutes. I could put it back and get something cheaper, but I knew there was nothing else in the store she would like as much. So, I got on my smart-phone and transferred some money from my savings account so I was able to pay for the gift. It took a big chunk of my savings but I wanted her to have something special.
    She loved the gift and I felt that even though I had spent almost all my money my stepmom deserved the best and I was glad I gave her the best that I could.
    Before leaving my parents’ house, my dad took me to one side and, with our secret hand-shake, he gave me some money. I had not said anything to him about my finances but I guess my dad had just known it. When I got to the car, I saw the amount he gave me was three times what I had spent on the gas and the gift!
    It goes to show that doing the right thing always comes with great rewards.
    小题1:Why was the writer unwilling to have a long trip？
    A．Because gas was hardly available.B．Because the writer was short of money.
    C．Because the writer didn’t like driving.D．Because the road was difficult to drive on.
    小题2:The underlined word “pondered” in Para. 4 means ________.
    A．thought aboutB．tried on
    C．depended onD．got through
    小题3:From the passage, we can infer that ________.
    A．the writer loves his/her stepmom very much
    B．the gift the writer bought was loved by his/her father very much
    C．the writer spent all his/her savings buying the gift for his/her stepmom
    D．the gift the writer bought was the most expensive one in the shop
    小题4:Why did the writer’s father shake hands with the writer in secret?
    A．Because he wanted to ask the writer for something special.
    B．Because he wanted to give the writer some money.
    C．Because he knew the writer had been struggling financially.
    D．Because he didn’t want others to copy their handshake.

    I will never forget the year I was about twelve years old. My mother told us that we would not be   36    Christmas gifts because there was not enough money. I felt sad and thought, "What would I say when the other kids asked what I’d  37   ?" Just when I started to    38   that there would not be a Christmas that year, three women   39    at our house with gifts for all of us. For me they brought a doll. I felt such a sense of   40    that I would no longer have to be embarrassed when I returned to school. I wasn’t    41. Somebody had thought    42   of me to bring me a gift.
    Years later, when I stood in the kitchen of my new house, thinking how I wanted to make my   43   Christmas there special and memorable, I   44   remembered the women’s visit. I decided that I wanted to create that same feeling of   45   for as many children as I could possibly reach.
    So I    46   a plan and gathered forty people from my company to help. We gathered about 125 orphans (孤儿) at the Christmas party. For every child, we wrapped colorful packages filled with toys, clothes, and school supplies,  47   with a child’s name. We wanted all of them to know they were   48 .  Before I called out their names and handed them their gifts, I    49   them that they couldn’t open their presents    50   every child had come forward. Finally the    51   they had been waiting for came as I called out, "One, two, three. Open your presents!" As the children opened their packages, their faces beamed and their bright smiles   52   up the room. The    53    in the room was obvious, and   54   wasn’’t just about toys. It was a feeling — the feeling I knew   55  that Christmas so long ago when the women came to visit. I wasn’t forgotten. Somebody thought of me. I matter.

    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.
