I have been applying, interviewing, etc since July with no prospects(前景). I have been told mostly that I am overqualified, or they need fulltime etc. I had been getting pretty down and discouraged. I was actually asking myself why can’t someone be kind enough to take me on as an ?? .

This past Tuesday evening it was ?? outside and going to be 9 pm as I was waiting at a bus stop. Just as the bus ?? a young woman approached me. She had a T-shirt, Capri pants, and slippers on. She also was wearing several hospital bracelets.

I ?? my purse and took out $5.00 so she could get something to eat. I then took off my jacket and? ?? and gave them to her. I said, “These are a little big but they should keep ?? ? warm.” She looked at me and said “Aren’t you going to be cold?” I told her my being cold for 15 minutes? ?? I got to my place was worth it if I knew she would be a little warmer. She sobbed and thanked me with a hug. I just told her to ?? .

Then after I got on the bus that’s ?? ? the miracle of spreading ?? ? happened. I stepped up to pay the? ?? and the bus driver said, “Mam, I saw what you just did and your fare is ?? me, even though technically we aren’t supposed to let you get on the bus without shoes.” he said with a wink.

A lady who was dressed in a very? ?? ? business suit called me over to her seat. She said, “I want to know the ?? ? of the person who just did the most ?? ? thing I have ever seen.” I told her my name and she said , “What can I do for you to ?? what I just witnessed?” I ?? ? said a paying job would be nice.

The next day she called me and said that she had a ?? ? administrative assistant position ?? ? in her company and wanted me to meet with the manager. It ?? ? that the lady was the head Human Resources person.

第三部分：阅读理解（共20小题；每小题2分；满分40

阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C、D）中选出最佳选项。

Everyone has their friends, but I knew one girl who didn't. I guess you could call her a geek, because all she did was reading, studying, and doing homework. I don't think she even played a sport. She was one of those quiet people who no one really paid attention to, and those who did only made fun of her. I had heard all kinds of rumors (谣言) that she had problems, but I didn't really believe them. I felt bad for her.

My friends and I were nice to her. We let her sit at our lunch table and we often said "Hi" to her, but she wasn't our best friend. Throughout the year, she started talking to us more and more. We continued being kind to her. She was normal as far as I was concerned (就我而言). She was just really quiet.

That summer I got a letter. When I opened it, I realized it was from her. “I just wanted to thank you so much for being so extremely kind and friendly to me this year. Before you became my friend, I had no one to talk to or sit with at lunch. I even wanted to kill myself. But you and your friends changed that. You made me feel wanted and included. It meant so much to me. I am going to be moving and switching to another school next year. I'll never forget you and what you did."

By the time I finished the letter, I was in shock. I could not believe what I had just read. I learned that the simplest things and the smallest acts of kindness can mean the world to someone else.

2. How did the girl feel before the author became her friend？

A. helped get the girl out of trouble         

B. got the girl to go to another school

C. changed the girl’s the habit of working hard

D. didn't want to help the girl at all

Whether you will be a doctor or a police officer in the future, there’s a teacher in your life. They teach you and help you know who you are? Of course, you want to thank them.

Teachers’ Day is the perfect chance for students around the world to thank their teachers. The festival falls on different days in different countries.

In China, Teachers’ Day is on September 10. But in the US, teachers have a whole week to celebrate. Teacher Appreciation Week is in the first full week of May every year. Kids used to bring apples for their teachers because apples are healthy. Now, they bring gifts with pictures of apples, such as cups, picture frames（框架） and teddy bears. Some students also make DIY gifts for their teachers. During the week, school clubs often offer teachers a free breakfast of coffee and pastries.

The South Korean Teachers’ Day is on May 15. Many students offer flowers to their teachers. Another traditional gift is a card. Thousands of students prepare personalized cards and give them to their favorite teachers.

Although different countries have different Teachers’ Days, there’s one day for the whole world to honor teachers. On October 5 of every year, over 100 countries, such as Canada and the Philippines, express their thanks by celebrating World Teachers’ Day. UNESCO started the day in 1994.
