Old Dawson had the best apples in town,but kids knew they mustn't go into his yard to pick a delicious apple,even off the ground,because Dawson,a bad-tempered(壞脾氣的)man,they said,would come after you with his gun.

One Friday,12-year-old Janet was going to stay all night with her friend Amy.They had to walk by Dawson's house on the way to Amy's house.Like most of the children,Janet was scared of the old man because of the stories she'd heard about him.

Amy said that Mr.Dawson wouldn't hurt anyone.Still,Janet was growing more nervous with each step closer to the old man's house.When they got close enough,Dawson looked up with his usual frown(皺眉),but when he saw it was Amy,a big smile changed his whole face as he said,“Hello,Miss Amy.I see you've got a little friend with you today.”

Amy smiled back and told him Janet was staying overnight and they were going to listen to music and play games.Dawson told them that sounded fun,and offered them each a fresh picked apple off his tree.

As they walked on,Janet asked Amy,“Everyone says he's the meanest man in town.Why was he so nice to us?”

Amy explained that when she first started walking past his house, he wasn't very friendly and she was afraid of him,but she always smiled at him.It took a while,but one day he half-smiled back at her.

After some more time,he started smiling real smiles and then started talking to her.Just a“hello” at first,then more.She said he always offers her an apple now,and is always very kind. 

We're always trying to achieve so much,and it's so easy to get caught up in(被卷入;陷入)everyday life that we forget we can bring cheer to ourselves and others simply.Giving a smile takes so little effort;let's smile to others.

My friends and I finished lunch at a hotel when it started to rain heavily. When it became lighter, I decided to get my car at my office three streets away.

My friends said that I shouldn’t go, mainly because I would give birth to a new baby and was seven months pregnant then. I told them that I’d be very careful. One of them wanted to come with me but I asked her to stay with another friend who needed help with her baby.

I walked out of the hotel and started making my way to the car. At the crossing, a black car stopped and a man came out with an umbrella. Before I knew what was happening, he walked right towards me. To my surprise he stopped in front of me and said he’d go with me together. I said there was no need for him to do so, but he still offered to help. During our walk, he kept telling me to walk slower, as the ground was wet. When we got to my car, I thanked him and he went away. I did not get his name. Even I can’t remember what he looks like. Did he stop for me? I’ll never know.

So how did I pay it as a return? I was at home when I noticed two Indian workers walking in the heavy rain. Maybe they were on their way to the working place near my home. They were surprised by my action. They were very thankful to me, wondering why a stranger was offering such kindness. I was so relaxed and happy that day.

1.What did the writer do after she had lunch?

A. She walked in the heavy rain. B. She sent her friends home.

C. She went back to the hotel. D. She decided to get her car.

2.What does the underlined word “pregnant” mean in Chinese?

A. 生病的. B. 懷孕的. C. 粗心的. D. 忙亂的.

3.How did the writer feel when the man went up to her?

A. Afraid. B. Surprised. C. Happy. D. Thankful.

4.What may be the missing line in Paragraph 4?

A. I laughed at them standing in the rain

B. I told them to walk slowly to the working place

C. I went out and passed them my umbrella

D. I saw a car coming towards them without stopping
