    Once, there was a woman who had so many problems, so many worries, so many troubles… that at times she felt she had more troubles than anyone else in the world!
    She was depressed. She thought she could never overcome her troubles, so she decided to end her life. That night she went to sleep early and she planned to commit suicide the next morning. But that night she had a dream…
    She found herself in a large cave, surrounded by gray bundles (包袱) of all shapes and sizes. Walking toward her was a woman with flowing long white hair.
    “Who are you?” asked the dreamer, “and what is this place?”
    “This is the cave of bundles of troubles and I am the keeper of the cave.”
    “Bundles of troubles?”
    “Yes,” the keeper explained, “each person who walks on the earth carries a bundle of troubles on their left shoulder.” The dreamer turned to look and there was a gray bundle on her left shoulder—it had been there all the time and she never noticed!
    “If you wish,” the keeper continued,” you can take your bundle down and exchange it for another.”
    “Really?” The woman lowered the bundle from her left shoulder. Oh, it felt so good to put it down. Then she picked up a beautiful bundle.
    The keeper said, “Why don’t you open it and look inside?”
    So the woman opened it and looked inside. “But these are the same troubles I brought here!”
    The keeper of the cave smiled softly and nodded. “That’s usually what happens, but do not despair, for there is another bundle on your right shoulder that should help lighten your load.”
    The woman turned and saw another bundle on her right shoulder. It had been there all the time and she never noticed! The woman took it down and opened it. Inside were her talents, her gifts, her hopes and opportunities. The woman felt her heart filled with joy and she looked up to thank the keeper of the cave, but she was gone; all were gone. And she found herself sitting up in her own bed with the morning sun streaming through the window, shining on her face.

    Night after night, she came to tuck me in (给…掖被子), even long after my childhood years. Following her long-standing custom, she’d        and push my long hair out of the way, then kiss  my forehead.
    I don’t remember when it first started        me----her hands pushing my hair that way. But it did annoy me,       they felt work-worn and rough against my young skin.        , one night, I shouted at her, “Don’t do that anymore ----your hands are too       !” She didn’t say anything in reply. But never again did my mother close out my day with that        expression of her love.
    Time after time, with the passing years, my thoughts        to that night. By then I missed my mother’s         , missed her goodnight kiss on my forehead. Sometimes the incident        very close, sometimes far away. But always it existed in the back of my        .
    Well, many years have passed, but mother’s rough hands are still doing things for me and my family. She’s been our doctor,        into a medicine cupboard for the medicine to         us children of our pain. She makes the best food in the world and always keeps our clothes clean.
    Now, my own children are grown and gone. Mom no longer has Dad, and on special        , I find myself drawn next door to spend the night with her. So it was late on Thanksgiving Eve, as I slept in the bedroom of my youth, a familiar hand        ran across my face to brush the hair from my forehead. Then a kiss, ever so gently,        my forehead.
    In my memory, for the thousandth time, I        the night my young voice        , “Don't’ do that anymore----your hands are too rough!”        Mom’s hand in my hand, I blurted out how sorry I was for that night. I thought she’d remember, as I did. But Mom didn’t know what I was talking about. She had forgotten ---and       ---long ago.
    That night, I fell asleep with new appreciation for my gentle mother and her caring hands. And the        that I had carried around for so long was nowhere to be found.

    It’s a sad and familiar voice that we often hear in big cities: “Can you spare some change?”
    Usually, when faced with that particular         , I have feelings of guilt if I pass by          giving a coin or two.
    I had that feeling       in Venice while on a tour of Italy’s famous sites in 2006. I had taken refuge from the          in a quiet café. Outside, there was an old woman kneeling on the hard, ancient paving stones,         .
    Steady          of tourists were walking past her. A young backpacker stood away from the crowd,       drinking in the vistas（景观、景色）, but I noticed the young traveler was also          the old woman.
    A tourist group walked along the street,          the woman and walked on.          group of tourists arrived and walked past the old lady. The backpacker watched          everybody else went on their way, focused on the          around them. Then, I was preparing to leave when I caught sight of the backpacker stepping forward and          some money in the woman’s cup. He did this somewhat        just before the arrival of another tourist group. As I         , the leader of the group stopped and put some money in the cup. Having been shown the way, other tourists followed suit and          some more coins to the cup.
    His work done, the young man walked over to the old beggar-woman, patted her on the shoulder and said, “I hope that          a little.”
    I don’t know if the woman understood his English or          what had just happened, but I did.
    I placed some money in the woman’s cup and continued my travels,          after witnessing such a          act of kindness.

    Mary Brown from East county in Scotland, she had the accident that had scarred（留下创伤） her for life when she was only one and a half years old. The curious child reached up to grab the wire of a hot kettle in the family kitchen and poured boiling water over her tiny infant frame.
    Her mother Ruby turned round and, seeing Mary horribly burnt, called an ambulance which rushed her daughter to a nearby hospital. Twenty percent of Mary’s body had been burned and all of her burns were third-degree. There, using tissue taken from unburned areas of Mary’s body, doctors performed complex skin transplants to close her wounds and control her injuries, an operation that took about six hours. Over the next 16 years, Mary underwent 12 more operations to repair her body.
    When she started school at Maxwelton Primary at age 4, other pupils made cruel comments or simply wouldn’t play with her. “I was the only burned child in the street, the class and the school,” she recalled, “some children refused to become friends because of that.”
    Today, aged 17, Mary can only ever remember being a burned person with scars; pain is a permanent part of her body. She still has to have two further skin transplants. Yet she is a confident, outgoing teenager who offers inspiration and hope to other young burns victims.
    She is a member of the Scottish Burned Children’s Club, a charity set up last year. This month, Mary will be joining the younger children at the Graffham Water Center in Cambridgeshire for the charity’s first summer camp. “I’ll show them how to get rid of unkind stares from others,” she says. Mary loves wearing fashionable sleeveless tops, and she plans to show the youngsters at the summer camp that they can too. “I do not go to great lengths to hide my burns scars,” she says, “I gave up wondering how other people would react years ago.”
    小题1:What did other children do when Mary first went to school?
    A．They were friendly to her.
    B．They showed sympathy to her.
    C．They looked down upon her.
    D．They were afraid of her.
    小题2:Which of the following words can’t properly describe Mary?
    A．CourageousB．sensitiveC．ConfidentD．Outgoing
