  Twenty years ago, I drove a taxi for a living.One night I went to pick up a passenger at 2∶30 AM.When I arrived to collect, I found the building was dark except for a single light in a ground floor window.

  I walked to the door and knocked, “Just a minute,” answered a weak, elderly voice.

  After a long pause, the door opened.A small woman in her eighties stood before me.By her side was a small suitcase.

  I took the suitcase to the car, and then returned to help the woman.She took my arm and we walked slowly toward the car.

  She kept thanking me for my kindness.“It’s nothing,” I told her.“I just try to treat my passengers the way I would want my mother treated.”

  “Oh, you’re such a good man.” She said.When we got into the taxi, she gave me an address, and then asked, “Could you drive through downtown?”

  “It’s not the shortest way,” I answered quickly.

  “Oh, I’m in no hurry,” she said.“I’m on my way to a hospice(临终医院).I don’t have any family left.The doctor says I don’t have very long.”

  I quietly reached over and shut off the meter(计价器).

  For the next two hours, we drove through the city.She showed me the building where she had once worked, the neighborhood where she had lived, and the furniture shop that had once been a ballroom where she had gone dancing as a girl.

  Sometimes she’d ask me to slow down in front of a particular building and would sit staring into the darkness, saying nothing.

  At dawn, she suddenly said,” I’m tired.Let’s go now.”

  We drove in silence to the address she had given me.

  “How much do I owe you?” she asked.

  “Nothing.” I said.

  “You have to make a living,” she answered.“Oh, there are other passengers,” I answered.

  Almost without thinking, I bent and gave her a hug.She held onto e tightly.Our hug ended with her remark, “You gave an old woman a little moment of joy.”

(1)

The old woman chose to ride through the city in order to ________.

[  ]

see some places for the last time

阅读下列短文,从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中,选出最佳选项,并在答题卡上将该项涂黑

A

       In the early morning of September 7, 2006, Akif woke suddenly."Where am I?" she thought, confused, only to realize she'd fallen asleep in the children's bedroom in their east-end Montreal apartment.There was a sharp and acrid (刺鼻的) smell in the room.Could that be smoke? She leaped up, opened the door and began to cough.She ignored the flames that lit up the apartment as she raced across the small hall to her own bedroom, where a window was already open, "Help!" she cried into the dark.But it was 3:30 in the morning and nobody was around to hear.She was on her own.

       Later, she'd say she thought of nothing at all.It was female's instinct (本能)that helped her uncover a supermum strength she never knew she had.She had no choice; her children would surely have died had they waited in their own bedroom for rescue.She ran back through the flames for her children, first lifting Sami, still half asleep, into her arms and carrying him to the open window in her room and dropping him to the ground from the second floor.Then, she turned back for Majda.

       By then, a neighbour had called 9-1-1.Looking out of the window, Akif knew that jumping would be her only chance of survival.She also knew if she didn't, the very reason her family had moved out from Morocco five years earlier—— to make a better life and give the children opportunities they wouldn't have had back home ——would be for nothing.But why couldn't she move her left leg? She didn't know that her polyester pants had caught fire and melted into her body.All she knew was that she had to get out of the apartment.

56.After finding her house was on fire, Akifwent to her own room to _______.

       A.save her children        B.wake up her husband

       C.ask for help              D.escape from the fire

57.We can infer from the passage thatAkif__________.

       A.was bom a brave lady             B.was brave as a mother

       C.liked to be independent   D.was careless about her children

58.Why did Akifs family move to the country where they live?

       A.Because they longed for a better life and more opportunities.

       B.Because they had to continue their study abroad.

       C.Because they were forced to leave their motherland.

       D.Because they were fond of moving to new places.

59.What follows the last passage is probably about __________.

       A.why Akif was praised              B.what made Akif so brave

       C.how the fire was put out            D.how Akif was saved
