    　　Compassion is a desire within us to help others. With effort, we can translate compassion into actions. An experience last weekend showed me this is true. I work part-time in a supermarket across from a building for the elderly. These old people are our main customers, and it's not hard to lose patience over their slowness. But last Sunday, one aged gentleman appeared to teach me a valuable lesson. This untidy man walked up to my register（收款机）with a box of biscuits. He said he was out of cash（现金）, had just moved into his room, and had nothing in his cupboards. He asked if we could let him have the food on trust. He promised to repay me the next day.

    　　I couldn't help staring at him. I wondered what kind of person he had been ten or twenty years before, and what he would be like if luck had gone his way. I had a hurt in my heart for this kind of human soul, all alone in the world. I told him that I was sorry, but store rules didn't allow me to do so. I felt stupid and unkind saying this, but I valued my job.

    　　Just then, another man, standing behind the first, spoke up. If anything, he looked more pitiable.“Charge it to me,”as all he said.

    　　What I had been feeling was pity. Pity is soft and safe and easy. Compassion, on the other hand, is caring in action. I thanked the second man but told him that was not allowed either. Then I reached into my pocket and paid for the biscuits myself. I reached into my pocket because these two men had reached into my heart and taught me compassion.

    (1)The aged gentleman who wanted to buy the biscuits ______.

    [　　]

    A．promised to obey the store rules

    B．forgot to take any money with him

    C．hoped to have the food first and pay later

    D．could not afford anything more expensive

    (2)Which of the following best describes the old gentleman?

    [　　]

    A．kind and lucky.

    B．poor and lonely.

    C．friendly and helpful.

    D．hurt and disappointed.

    (3)The writer acted upon the store rules because ______.

    [　　]

    A．he wanted to keep his present job

    B．he felt no pity for the old gentleman

    C．he considered the old man dishonest

    D．he expected someone else to pay for the old man

    (4)What does the writer learn from his experience?

    [　　]

    A．Wealth is more important than anything else.

    B．Helping others is easier said than done.

    C．Experience is better gained through practice.

    D．Obeying the rules means more than compassion.

    日常生活中我们经常可以看见一些乞丐在街上或地下人行通道乞讨。最近, 一些大城市如北京、上海等地通过法规禁止乞丐在地下人行通道行乞留宿。你们班就此事进行了讨论。请你根据以下讨论结果用英语写一篇短文。

    46%的同学不同意这种政府行为。一些乞丐是生活所迫，不得不乞讨。他们有的是在地下人行道靠卖艺为生。社会应该帮助这些人。

    54%的同学认为乞丐损害了城市形象，给城市造成许多麻烦。况且许多乞丐并不是丧失劳动力，而是由于懒惰利用别人的同情心。所以政府应禁止乞丐进入公共场所。

    注意：1．短文的开头已给出，但不计入总词数；   

          　 2．词数：120左右；

    3．参考词汇：地下人行道 subway     同情心 compassion。
