When I was a kid, my dad worked in a shop in the center of our town. Sometimes, I went to the shop with him and I made a little pocket money by buying things for his workmates. But I never paid attention to all the things and people around me.
One day, as my dad and I were driving to the shop, I looked out of the window of the car and I saw an old man standing at the street corner. There was a rose in his hand, he was smelling the rose. For some reason, our eyes met and we looked at each other for about twenty seconds. There was nothing unusual about this man but the meet was unusual to me. Up to that moment in my life, I had given no thought to anyone on the street, in shops or anywhere else. I had no interest out of my family.
But I was interested in that old man. For the first time I had interest in a stranger. What kind of life had he lived? Where had he been in his time?
Once a great man encouraged us to “stop and smell the rose”. Now I want to tell these words to you. Stop what you are busy with and try to fully understand things and people in your eyesight. If you don’t care about others on your road of life, then you are missing your life itself.

A．By asking his father to give him.

小題3:When did the writer have interest out of his family?
A．When he was a kid.
B．When he met the old man with rose.
C．When he went to school.

小題4:What is the main idea of this passage?
A．If you care about others on your road of life, then you are having your life itself.
B．If you care about others on your road of life, then you are missing your life itself.

“Excuse me,” said a young man, standing shyly at the open church door. “I’m here to pick up an Easter basket for my daughter. Am I in the right place?” Well, we have baskets, but they’re not Easter baskets for kids; they’re food baskets,” I explained.
That morning I arrived at St. Micheal’s Church in Carmichael, California, to help give out the baskets to needy families for Easter. To make sure every family would receive one, we had handed out numbers to them that matched the basket they were supposed to receive. Each one contained a whole ham, potatoes, bread, vegetables, and a pie --- enough food to help feed a family for a week.
“Why don’t you come in?” I said to the man. He looked disappointed. He shook his head and said, “I can’t... My daughter is waiting for me over there. I’m grateful for the food, but when I heard you were giving away baskets for Easter ... well, I thought they would be Easter baskets for children.” He continued, “I promised my daughter one, and I wanted to surprise her.”
I felt bad, but there was nothing I could do. The man handed me his number, and I walked over to the baskets. A bulge(凸起) in one of the baskets caught my eye. “What is that?” I wondered. Leaning over and looking more closely, I could see, unmistakably, an Easter basket --- filled with candy, chocolate, and Easter eggs. One of the volunteers must have added it by mistake! I thought. Then I looked at the man’s number in my hand. Well, he’ll be....
“Happy Easter,” I said to the man, handing him the only food basket with an Easter basket inside --- the very same basket with his number on it. “Someone knew just what you needed.”
小題1:The young man had thought that ____________.
A．he would have an Easter basket and a food basket
B．there would be Easter baskets for children.
C．there would be children’s toys in the food basket
D．he would get enough food for the whole year.
小題2:What did the author do at the church?
A．He worked there as a churchman.
B．He was called in to give out Easter baskets.
C．He went there to meet the young man.
D．He was a volunteer who helped there.
小題3:The young man looked disappointed at first because ____________.
A．he was told not to take a food basket
B．there was little food in the Easter basket
C．he came so late that all the basket had been given out
D．he was told that he wouldn’t get what he wanted
小題4:What surprised the author was that __________.
A．there was an Easter basket in the food basket
B．someone knew what the young man needed
C．one of the baskets was filled with more bread than others
D．he found that the young man’s name was on the basket
小題5:We can infer that the young man left the church feeling ________.
A．sadB．satisfiedC．a(chǎn)ngryD．surprised

On a cold December morning, my mother and I were walking home from pizza store. We were  35 warmly and equipped with the video we had been trying to watch. I was feeling a little tired  36 I was carrying our shopping bags of snacks and the video.
They were so  37 that I decided to throw away some of them. So I started to walk towards the dustbin when I noticed a poor man stepping out of the restaurant in front of us. He held a paper bag with his dirty hand. He  38 over to another nearby dustbin and started looking  39 it.
I suddenly felt very upset. I know this man would take all he could get, so I walked up to him and  40 the drink and some snacks to him. The man, with lines on his face and wrinkles(皺紋) on his forehead, looked up in  41 and took what I gave him.
A huge smile spread across his face and this made  42  feel indescribable satisfaction(滿意). I felt like I couldn’t be happier with myself, but then he said, “Wow, first someone gives me this sandwich, then this drink, and now some tasty food, this is my daughter’s  43 day!”
He thanked me happily and started off on his bike. I even heard him whistling(吹哨) a song as he  44 away.
I now understand what is meant by the saying “giving is getting”. Everyone in the world needs help, everyone can  45 help and everyone will be helped by something kind.
The image(圖像) of that man’s happiness  46 by my small gift appears in my mind every time I have the chance to do something nice.
