Twenty years ago, I drove a taxi for a living. One early morning, I ______ a call for a taxi. When I arrived at the building, it was 2:30 a.m. and I found the building was dark except for the only light in a first floor window.

Many drivers would just shout once or twice and then drove away, but I thought this ______might need my help. So I walked to the door and knocked, “Just a minute,” answered a _______, elderly voice. After a long time, the door opened. A small old man showed up before me, ______a small bag. He kept thanking me for my______. “It’s nothing,” I told him.

“Oh, you’re such a good man.” He said. When we got into the taxi, he gave me a (an) _______, and then asked, “Could you drive through the city center?”

“But it wasn’t the ______way.” I answered quickly. “Oh, I’m in no hurry.” He said. “I’m on my way to a hospital. I don’t have any family left. The ______ says I don’t have much time left.

I ______ started the taxi and shut off the meter(計(jì)程器). For the next two hours, we drove_______ the city center. He showed me the building where he once worked. We drove past the church where he got married. He would never forget that happy moment. Sometimes he’d ask me to slow down in front of a building and would sit ______the darkness for a long time, saying nothing. When the sun began to rise, we drove in silence to the address he had given me. When we arrived,_______without thinking, I gave him a big hug. “You gave an old man a little moment of _______ Thank you!” He said with tears in his eyes.

I was completely lost in thought for the rest of the day. What would happen if I had refused to do ______ I did? We always think that there are no ______ moments in our lives, but great moments are just in what others may think small and unimportant ones.

A public primary school in the USA has stopped giving its students’ homework.

Principal Jane Hsu wrote a letter to parents last month, explaining that after more than a year

of analyzing (分析) studies, the school had decided that students’ after-school time would be better spent on activities like reading at their own pace (步伐) and playing instead of working on homework.

Hsu’s letter says that many studies show that there is no connection between homework and academic (學(xué)業(yè)的) success. Some other studies also show that the connection between homework and success is dubious at the primary school level.

Harris Cooper, a social psychologist who researches education, found that doing homework makes students perform better in school as they grew older. In later grades, students who did homework performed increasingly better than students who did not. In 2006, Cooper published a study that analyzed 15 years’ worth of data on the influence of homework. He found that homework had a good influence on students as they aged.

Some parents are not happy with the decision to give up homework. “I think they should have homework. I want my daughter to have fun, but I also want her to be working towards a goal,” Daniel Tasman, the father of a second-grader at the school, said to the reporter.

“Students have to do homework in order to gain. Students have to do homework because they may not be able to understand everything in school,” Sharon Blake, a student’s grandmother told ABC news.

1.Jane Hsu wrote a letter to parents to explain .

A. how students should read at their own pace

B. why the school gave up homework recently

C. what activities students could take at home

D. how important the homework is for students

2.The word “dubious” in Paragraph 3 probably means “not ”.

A. real B. public C. clear D. special

3.Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?

A. Cooper found homework had a bad effect on students as they aged.

B. Some parents are worried about their children if there is no homework.

C. Some students are not happy with the decision to give up school homework.

D. Daniel Tasman wanted his daughter to have fun instead of working to a goal.
