It was a cold evening. My daughter and I were walking up Broadway. I didn’t notice a guy sitting inside a cardboard box. But Nora . She wasn’t even four, but she at my coat and said, “That man’s cold. Daddy, can we take him home?”
I don’t remember my . But I do remember a sudden feeling inside me. I had always been pleased at how much my daughter noticed in her , whether it was flying or children playing. But now she was noticing and beggary.
A few days later, I saw an article in the newspaper about volunteers who picked up a food package from a nearby school on a Sunday morning and it to an elderly person. It was quick and easy. I signed us up(登记参加). Nora was about it. She could understand the importance of food, so she could easily see how our job was. When Sunday came, she was ready, but I had to myself to leave the house to fetch the food package. On my way to the school, I fought an urge (强烈愿望) to turn . The Sunday paper and coffee were waiting for me at home. Why to do this? , we phoned the elderly person we’d been appointed. She us right over.
The building was in a bad state. Facing us was a silver-haired woman in an old dress. She took the package and asked us to come in. Nora ran inside. I unwillingly followed. inside, I saw that the department belonged to someone poor. Our hostess showed us some photos. Nora played and when it came time to say goodbye, we three hugged. I walked home .
Experts call such a(n) “a volunteer opportunity”. They are opportunities and I’ve come to see. Where else but as volunteers do you have the opportunity to do something that’s good for others as well as for yourself? Nora and I regularly serve meals to needy people and clothes for the homeless. Yet, as I’ve her grow over these past four years, I still wonder—which of us has benefited more?

Some of the most painful moments I spend as a vet (兽医 ) are those spent with my customers assisting my animal patients from this world to the next. Making this final decision is not easy, and I have often felt powerless to comfort the sorrowful owners.
That was before I met Shane.
I had been called to examine a ten-year-old dog named Belker who had developed a serious health problem. The dog's owner—Ron, his wife, Lisa, and their little boy, Shane—were hoping for a miracle (奇迹). But I told the family there were no miracles left for Belker, and offered to perform the euthanasia (安乐死) for the old dog in their home. As we made the arrangements, Ron and Lisa told me they thought it would be good for the four-year-old Shane to observe the euthanasia. They felt Shane could learn something from the experience.
The next day, I felt the familiar catch in my throat as Belker's family surrounded him.
Shane seemed so calm, patting the old dog for the last time, that I wondered if he understood what was going on.
A few minutes later, Belker slipped peacefully away. The little boy seemed to accept Belker's death without any difficulty or confusion. We sat together for a little while after Belker's death, wondering aloud about the sad fact that animal lives are shorter than human lives.
Shane, who had been listening quietly, piped up: "I know why."
Shocked, we all turned to him. What came out of his mouth next astonished me. I'd never heard a more comforting explanation.
He said, "Everybody is born so they can learn how to live a good life: like loving everybody and being nice, right?" The four-year-old continued, "Well, animals already know how to do that, so they don't have to stay as long."
1. Shane's parents wanted Shane to witness the euthanasia mainly because ____.
A. they hoped he could gain something from it
B. they knew he hated to part with Belker
C. they wanted him to remember Belker forever
D. they intended him to learn to carry out euthanasia
2. What can we learn from the third paragraph?
A. Belker got sick mainly because of lack of care.
B. There was no hope for Belker to recover but to suffer.
C. Shane didn't feel sad about Belker's death.
D. Belker didn't want to live any longer because of the pain.
3. We can infer from the underlined sentence that____.
A. words failed the vet when he tried to comfort Belker's family
B. the vet was familiar with the feelings of Belker's family
C. the vet would rather not perform the euthanasia
D. the vet's throat was uncomfortable with Belker's family around
4.What would the author say about Shane?
A. He knew little about animal lives.
B. He felt unexpected about Belker's death.
C. He had a unique opinion about life.
D. He was an outgoing and warm-hearted boy.
