A Little Hero

A group of Italian soldiers led by a captain were advancing slowly toward the position of the enemy. They arrived at a farmhouse, in front of which sat a small boy, cutting a branch of a tree with his knife.

"What are you doing here?" asked the captain. "Why didn't you leave with your family?"

　　"I don't have any family," said the boy. "I'm an orphan. I used to work for the family that lived here. They've gone, but I stayed in order to see the fighting."

　　"Have you seen any Austrians pass by here?"

　　"Not within the last three days."

　　"Do you think you could climb that tree and tell me whether you see anything of the Austrians in the distance?"

　　"Sure!"

　　In a few minutes the boy was at the top of the tree.

　　"Look straight ahead," cried the captain, "and tell me what you see."

　　"Two men on horseback - nothing else."

　　"How far away?"

　　"About a mile and a half. They're standing still." ….

　　"They're shooting at me," said the boy. "but don't worry. Let me tell you what's to the left. Well, there's a church and I think I see..."

　　 A third bullet passed, and the boy was seen to fall suddenly from the tree, dead.

　　"Poor boy!" said the captain, covering the boy's body with a national flag and saying, "He died like a soldier and we must bury him like a soldier."

Soon it was covered with flowers. He gave his life to his country.

阅读下面短文，掌握其大意，然后从26—40各题所给的四个选项（A、B、C、D）中，选出最佳选项，并将答题卡上对应题目的答案标号涂黑。

I remember the first time I saw Gretchen Buchenholz doing what she does best. It was the fall of 2002, and she was standing at the door of a New York day-care 　26 that she’d founded for disadvantaged and special-needs 　27 . A stream of little kids was entering the building, and some were 　28 walkers (学步车). Gretchen knelt down 　29 each child, greeting each by name and saying 　30 personal. The kids smiled happily and their little 　31 lit up.

　 It was at that time that I made my final decision to 　32 my job as a lawyer. I had decided to 　　　__33__ as director of community affairs for the Association to Benefit Children (ABC), the nonprofit (非赢利的) group that Gretchen started 20 years ago. When I was 　34 , my family had often been helped by others. Mom always told us that we should help the 　35__ when we grew up.

　 The story of how Gretchen started ABC is quite amazing. In 1984, she was on her way to a government office to get a day-care permit, but by accident, she entered a room where homeless families were waiting to be 　36 in a “welfare hotel”. She saw three babies. The babies wore no diapers (尿布) as their parents couldn’t 　37 any. After talking to the 　38 and learning they and their babies were 　__39 , Gretchen went out and bought bread, peanut butter, apple juice and diapers. Then she started making phone calls. She dialed the American Red Cross, City Hall and The New York Times. Finally, she helped set up housing for them and other homeless 　40 like them.

　 I wish there were more people like her.
