In a book called Magnificent Obsession, by Lloyd C. Douglas, a description is given of people helping others but doing it secretly. When difficult problems worried an individual, friends nearby would meet to discuss possible solutions without the individual knowing their actions. When a solution was agreed upon, one or two of the friends would carry out the plan and solve the problem secretly, to the great delight of the worried individual. The helpers would stand by privately, content with their success. No reward was given to the problem solvers, not even a sincere “thank you”, because they were never known.
This concept is popular today but in a different way. The phrase “pay it forward” is now used when one person helps another. However, the person helped may not be able to repay the person or group that helped them. So rather than return the favor to their helpers, they are supposed to help someone else in the future, which means they pay it forward. It is a sense of responsibility which makes us want to give back in equal measure to the one who has helped us. But, in this case, the responsibility turns to helping someone in the future.
Suppose your elderly grandmother pays part of your schooling. She may tell you there is no need to repay her because it is a gift from someone who loves you very much. Nothing would please her more than to have you use her money to get a good education.
You may never be able to repay her for such a gift. However, she not only gave you some money, but she provided you with an example that you should also help other people who need it.
People with serious needs are everywhere. Many are children who need better clothes, more books and even better schools. Some are elderly people who can’t afford their medicine or a doctor’s care. Consider how you can “pay it forward” rather than pay money back to your grandmother.
The helpers in the book “Magnificent Obsession” were not rewarded because ________.
they hadn’t solved the problems thoroughly
they expected to be paid back in the future.
they were friends of the worried individual
they had solved the problems secretly
The underlined word “pay it forward” means ________.
to repay someone who has helped you
to help someone else who needs help
to help someone who has helped you
to pay someone else who needs help
What does the writer suggest with the example of “your elderly grandmother”?
We should also lend a hand to other people in need of help.
We should work hard to get a good education.
We should learn to respect our grandparents.
We should never forget to repay people for their help.
By writing the passage, the author wishes people in the world to be ________.
A. honest B. mysterious C. unselfish D. unforgettable

Time spent in a bookshop can be most enjoyable, whether you are a book-lover or only there to buy a book as a present. You may even have entered the shop just to find a shelter from a sudden shower.

No One Dares to Help
On a recent Sunday, I was buying groceries in a supermarket when I heard the sound of a car accident. It was close but not very close, so I continued shopping.
As I took a right turn on Munadhama Street, I saw a man lying on the ground in a small pool of blood. He wasn’t dead.
The idea of stopping to help or to take him to a hospital crossed my mind, but I didn’t dare. Cars passed without stopping. Pedestrians and shop owners kept doing what they were doing, pretending nothing had happened.
I was still looking at the injured man and blaming myself for not stopping to help. Other shoppers peered at him from a distance, sorrowful and sympathetic, but did nothing.
I went on to another grocery store, staying for about five minutes while shopping for tomatoes, onions and other vegetables. During that time, the man managed to sit up and waved to passing cars.
No one stopped. No one did anything. No one lifted a finger.
The injured died on the street. The only reaction came from a woman in the grocery store. In a low voice, she said, “My God, bless his soul.”
An offer of aid could have saved the man’s life.

Most schools forbid chewing gum(嚼口香糖), but in a few years they might consider changing that rule. Why? Scientists are finding evidence that gum chewing may be good for your health. It may even help improve your test scores. This exciting research is just beginning. And in the meantime, companies are also experimenting with adding vitamins, minerals, medicines, and other substances that could give gum the power to cure headaches and fight everything from serious diseases to bad breath.
Other researchers are finding that gum might work better than a pill to deliver medicines and other substances into the bloodstream. That’s because the lining (膜) of our cheeks can absorb certain substances more quickly than our stomachs and intestines (肠) can. That discovery could help other researchers develop medicine-containing gums that fight colds, ease headaches, battle nervousness, and
more. Scientists might even create anti-microbial (抗菌的) gums that cure bad breath.
Those projects may take years, but gum scientists have already had at least one recent success: They’ve created a gum that could help us stay awake. Researchers have produced a gum called Stay Alert. Each stick has as much caffeine as a cup of coffee. It can take an hour for the caffeine in coffee to have its full effect, but the caffeine in Stay Alert hits in just a few minutes. The gum is easy to transport and it’s stable in cold and hot climates. Unlike a pill, it doesn’t require water to swallow. Those qualities make it easy for soldiers to use. For now, Stay Alert is available only to the military (军队). The manufacturer may one day offer it for sale to the public. People who work at night, such as truck drivers and medical personnel who ride in ambulances, might benefit from a product like Stay Alert.
1.The passage mainly talks about _____.
A. the rule of forbidding chewing gum in school
B. new research on chewing gum
C. different kinds of chewing gum
D. the relationship between chewing gum and medicine
2.What does the underlined word “hits” in Paragraph 6 probably mean?
A. Touches. B. Attacks. C. Takes effect. D. Affects badly.
3.According to the passage, Stay Alert is a gum which can help people _____.
A. stay awake B. fight colds
C. cure headaches D. overcome nervousness
4.It can be inferred from the passage that _____.
A. stay Alert is not easy to store
B. stay Alert needs water to swallow
C. stay Alert is available to the public now
D. we can’t buy gums which cure bad breath now
