It was very cold and I had been watching a homeless man make himself comfortable in a “shelter” on the river bank. His “shelter” was a tarpaulin(油布)tied to rocks to keep the wind from blowing it away . He had been living there for over a month .I never saw him with warm clothing or food . I knew what I wanted to do .
When I told my parents what I wanted to do they were alarmed . They said l could be putting myself at risk , taking a box to a homeless person at night ! But I knew , in my deep heart ,that I would be safe .
I got a box .My parents watched as I added warm gloves , a heavy blanket…into the box until it was full ! Then , I put a Christmas card on top . It said," Even though we hardly know each other , I want to wish you a merry Christmas !” I put ten one-dollar bills inside it as well.
My father insisted he went there with me as it was 10 pm on Christmas Eve. I said he could drive me but he had to stay in the car. He agreed .
I took the box and walked towards his “house” . I called ,"Sir, I have a Christmas box for you !”
“Go away !” he shouted.
“Sir,” I repeated .
“Go away !” he shouted.
“Why ?” I asked him .
He walked over and I expected to see an angry face .Instead I saw two of the most beautiful , gentle, blue eyes I have ever seen.
“Merry Christmas!” I said.
“Why are you doing this?” he asked .
“Because you matter to me” I said . With that I gave him the box .
Tears came to his eyes and he thanked me .I got back to the car and watched him carry the box like it was filled with gold . I didn't want to embarrass(使困窘) him by watching him any more so Dad and I left .
56. The underlined word “alarmed” can best replaced by _____ .
A. pleased B. worried
C. disappointed D. surprised
57. Why did the author ask his father to stay in the car ?
A Because he wanted to prove he was brave .
B Because he believed the homeless man was bad .

57.D 通过后文“I didn't want to embarrass(使困窘) him by watching him any more so Dad and I left .”可知作者之所以不让爸爸下车是为了不让那位the homeless man 感到难堪。

Venice, one of the cities in Italy,was founded in A.D.811 by the people of Malamocco, fleeing （逃跑）from the Franks. It was said that they were guided by pigeons carrying little crosses, and settled where now Venice lies.
Venice is built on 117 islands. It has 150 canals and 400 bridges. The narrow streets, with their historic names, are covered with stones,but have no footpaths. They are dotted with flower shop signs and lanterns. Shops and palaces stand by side. The brick bridges are high enough to allow boats to pass freely under them.
The center of public life is St. Mark’s Square where tourists and citizens sit in the famous Florian and Quadri cafes to listen to music, enjoying themselves. The Quadri is more popular but the Florian, founded in 1720, is the best-known cafe because it has received such great persons as Byron (an English poet) and Goethe (a German poet).
Unfortunately the special position of Venice is threatening（威胁）it’s own existence. The terrain（地势）on which it is built began to sink while the level of the surrounding waters is constantly rising. Howe’ver, many measures have already been taken to prevent the city from sinking.
1. In the second paragraph, the author ______.
A. showed up where Venice is B. told us who built the city of Venice
C. described what Venice is like D. talked about why Venice is surrounded by waters
2. Which of the following shows the right relationship?（○=Italy;△="Venice;□=St.Marks" Square）

A. it appeared in Byron and Goethe’s poems
B. it is more close to St. Mark’s Square than the Quadri

D. Byron and Goethe were once it’s customers
4. From the article we can see that ______.
A. many people have fled because Venice’s existence is being threatened
B. the level of the surrounding water is constantly rising because the city of Venice began to sink
C. the government has already taken many measures to save the city from going down
