    Once when I was a teenager, my father and I were standing in line to buy tickets for the circus. Finally, there was only one family between the ticket office and us. This family made a big impression on me.
    There were eight children, all probably under the age of 12. You could tell they didn’t have a lot of money. Their clothes were not expensive, but they were clean. The children talked excitedly about the clowns. It was clearly a very important day out for them. The father and mother seemed happy as they could be.
    The tickets lady asked how many tickets the father wanted, he proudly answered, “Please let me buy eight children’s tickets and two adults’ tickets, so I can take my family to the circus.”
    The ticket lady told him the price.
    The man’s wife lowered her head. There was no longer a smile on the man’s face. He quietly asked, “How much did you say?”
    The ticket lady again told him the price.
    The man obviously didn’t have enough money. But how could he tell his kids the bad news?
    Seeing what was happening, my dad took a $20 note from his pocket and dropped in on the ground. (We were not rich ourselves at all!) He then tapped the man on the shoulder and said, “Excuse me, sir, you dropped this.”
    The man understood my father was helping him. He picked up the money, looked straight into my dad’s eyes, and in tears replied. “Thank you. This really means a lot to me and my family.”
    Although we did not go to the circus that night, we didn’t go without.

    Looking out of the window, my son saw a tree whose branches were strongly swaying back and forth. “How does the tree move its branches like that?” He asked.
    Without rising from my chair, nor looking up from my book, I started to answer, “The tree is not moving the branches, son. The wind is…” But before the words were out, I caught myself. Instead I rose from my chair and moved to the window to join my son. I looked at the tree. From inside our room, from behind the window, I could neither feel nor hear the wind. I saw instead a tree with its branches silently moving and thought to myself, from inside this room, how could I possibly be sure that the branches were moving because of the wind rather than from the tree’s own willing?
    As I stood there with my son watching the tree, I became struck by the movement of the branches, the shimmer of the leaves. My mind quieted and I became less sure myself of what was causing the branches to move. Was it the wind, or was it some expressive, independent movement of the tree? “I see what you mean,” I said to my son. “The movement of the tree is very beautiful.”
    “Do you think the tree is dancing?” asked my son. “Why would it be dancing?” I asked. “Maybe it is happy because the sun is shining,” he said. “Perhaps,” I said. “Or because it’s spring,” he added, “and it’s not cold any more.” “Perhaps,” I said.
    As we continued to watch the tree together, I, too, began to appreciate the dance of the tree. I enjoyed the movement and sway of the branches, seeing little nuances(微妙之处) that I hadn’t noticed before. There seemed to be a rhythm to the movement, first strong and forceful, then light and gentle, then more vigorous, sometimes nearly violent.
    “Are trees alive?” my son asked. “Yes, they are alive. Why do you ask?” “Because this tree looks happy,” he answered. “Can a tree be happy or sad?” “What do you mean?” I asked.
    “In the winter, trees seem sad,” he said. “Their branches hang down, and they look cold and lonely. But now with the leaves on the tree and the sun shining and the birds flying, it looks happy.”
    小题1:What is the meaning of the underlined word “caught” in Para 2?
    A．stoppedB．graspedC．seizedD．held
    小题2:What on earth caused the tree to move?
    A．The tree itself felt happy and was dancing.
    B．The tree was too sad to sway as if to get rid of all trouble.
    C．It was the warm spring.
    D．The wind did so.
    小题3: What do you think of the boy?
    A．Naughty.B．Imaginative. C．Clever.D．Foolish.

    I made a pledge(发誓) to myself on the way down to the vacation beach cottage. For two weeks I would try to be a loving husband and father. 
    The idea had come to me as I listened to a talk on my car radio. The speaker was quoting a Biblical (圣经的) passage about husbands being thoughtful of their wives. Then he went on to say, “Love is an act of will. A person can choose to love.” To myself, I had to admit that I had been a selfish husband. Well, for two weeks that would change.
    And it did. Right from the moment I kissed Evelyn at the door and said, “That new yellow sweater looks great on you.”
    “Oh, Tom, you noticed,” she said, surprised and pleased. Maybe a little puzzled.
    After the long drive, I wanted to sit and read. Evelyn suggested a walk on the beach. I started to refuse, but then I thought, “Evelyn’s been alone here with kids all week and now she wants to be alone with me.” We walked on the beach while the children flew the kites.
    So it went. Two weeks of not calling the Wall Street firm where I am a director; a visit to the shell museum though I usually hate museums. Relaxed and happy, that’s how the whole vacation passed. I made a new pledge to keep on remembering to choose love.
    There was one thing that went wrong with my experiment, however. Evelyn and I still laugh about it today. On the last night at our cottage, preparing for bed, Evelyn stared at me with the saddest expression. “What’s the matter?” I asked her.
    “Tom, ” she said in a voice filled with sadness, “do you know something I don’t?”
    “What do you mean?”
    “Well…..that checkup(体检) I had several weeks ago….. our doctor ….. did he tell you something about me? Tom, you’ve been so good to me….. am I dying ?”
    It took a moment for it all to sink in. Then I burst out laughing.
    “No, honey,” I said, wrapping her in my arms. “You’re not dying; I’m just start to live.”
    小题1:The writer thought he was a _______ husband in the past.
    A．lovelyB．loyalC．strictD．selfish
    小题2: From the story we may infer that Tom drove to the beach cottage _______.
    A．with his familyB．with EvelynC．aloneD．with his children
    小题3: The underlined words “one thing” in the text refer to the fact that _______.
    A．he praised her sweater, which puzzled her
    B．she insisted on visiting a museum, which he hated
    C．he knew something about her illness but didn’t tell her
    D．he was so good to her that she thought she must be dying

    Moving can bring out the best and the worst in people, I’m finding. And I’ve discovered where a very generous spirit lives: Defiance, Ohio.
    After suffering through many months of unemployment, my wife and I had to move this week from Colorado to Ohio, where she would work as a sales assistant. Not knowing a person there, we were pretty concerned about all the work, including how we’d get all the things unloaded without killing ourselves.
    We decided to pay a couple of college students to help with all the heavy lifting once we got there. But one neighbor after another stopped by and joined in. “What? Have we moved to some other country? Maybe we’ve died and gone to heaven!” I thought.
    Unloading actually became fun as we connected with so many wonderful new friends as we worked. The more people that helped, the easier the work became. A job we were afraid might take days for the two of us alone was done in just a few hours. Many total strangers would either walk by or drive by to ask us if we were moving in. Many were delighted that this fine old house that had sat empty for so long was coming to life again. We were invited to an outdoor meal yesterday by neighbors on the same street.
    All the while, my brain was on this new sense of hope that people could be outgoing and kind to strangers. Among all the conversations were lots of offers to be of help to one another in a variety of ways. It’s wonderful to live in such a kind little town. I feel so grateful to be here, and wish the rest of the world could see how an entire society can be a model for what it’s like to look out for one another. I used to stay away from friendships with strangers, but now I live in Defiance!
    小题1:The author and his wife moved to Defiance because ________.
    A．they thought moving often brought out the best
    B．a couple of students had promised to help them
    C．they liked this little town
    D．his wife had found a job
    小题2:When offered help, the author at first felt________.
    A．grateful B．surprised C．embarrassed D．excited
    小题3:The neighbors did all of the following EXCEPT________.
    A．help them unload B．invite them to a dinner
    C．offer to drive them around D．welcome their coming
    小题4:What can we know about the author’s past life?
    A．He hated to live in a little town.
    B．He liked to make friends with strangers.
    C．He usually offered some help to others.
    D．He refused to make friends with strangers.
    小题5:The author mainly wants to tell us ________.
    A．we don’t know what is good until we have lost it
    B．kindness is the sunshine of social life
    C．where there is a will, there is a way
    D．there is no place like home
