A few days ago,I went to school with lots of books,hoping to get a locker (锁柜).Suddenly,it started raining heavily. I hurried to pay for my locker,but I was disappointed when they informed me they only accepted cash. I was $7.00 short,which meant I had to carry the books back home. It would be an exhausting (令人筋疲力尽的) two­hour journey back home with all those books.
An elderly gentleman nearby noticed my problem. He asked how much cash I needed. When I told him I was $7 short,he quickly took out the money from his wallet. “You don’t have to pay me back,”he said. I was speechless;I didn’t know whether to take the money or come back with the books the next day. A young student who was working there noticed my hesitation. “He’s really nice,” said the student. “I was starving this morning and he bought breakfast for me. He always helps people in different ways.”
The next day,I went to him and thanked him for trusting me and lending me the money. He said he forgot about it and didn’t expect I would give it back. “I’m very happy,”he said,“not because I’m getting my money back,but because this is the right way to go—whatever you get from this world,give it back as much as you possibly can. Spread kindness around the world with the smallest things you can do.”
Later,I found out he wasn’t involved with any charity organizations. He has been performing these types of acts for years. Earlier,someone had done something incredibly kind for him and he has been spreading the kindness ever since. He taught me a very important lesson in life—we come to this world with nothing and we will leave with nothing. Whatever we own,it will become somebody else’s and whatever we leave,it will become somebody else’s.
小题1:When the old gentleman offered the money,the writer was________.
A.touchedB.hesitantC.amazedD.embarrassed
小题2:From Paragraph 3 we learn that________.
A.the gentleman worked in the school
B.the gentleman was kind but forgetful

B.He managed a lot of other people’s money.
C.He had received help from others before.
D.He thought money was of little importance.

小题1:B
小题2:D
小题3:C

I grew up poor-living with six brothers, three sisters and my mother. We had little money, but plenty of love and attention. I was      and energetic. I understood that no matter how poor a person was, he could still      a dream.
My dream was      . By the time I was sixteen, I could throw a ninety-mile-per- hour baseball and      anything that moved on the field. I was also      : my high school coach was John, who not only      me, but also taught me how to believe in myself. He      me the difference between having a dream and showing conviction(信念). One particular incident with coach John changed my life forever.
A friend      me for a summer job. This meant a chance for money in my pocket — money for a new bike, new clothes and the      of savings for a house for my mother. Then I realized I would have to      up summer baseball to handle the work schedule, and that meant I would have to tell John I wouldn’t be playing.
When I told John, he was as      as I expected him to be. “You have your whole life to work,”he said,“Your      days are limited. You can’t afford to waste them.”I stood before him with my head      , trying to think of the      that would explain to him why my dream of buying my mom a house and having money in my pocket was worth facing his      in me.
“Well,”he asked,“is $ 3.5 an hour the price of a dream?”
That simple question made      to me the difference between      something right now and having a goal. I      myself in sports that summer and      the year I was drafted(选拔) by the Pittsburgh Pirates to play baseball, and      a $ 20,000 contract. Later, I bought my mother the house of my dream!

On 23rd December, 2013, Michael Schumacher — the famous Formula-One race car driver — received serious brain injuries after hitting his head on a rock while downhill skiing with his son.
