I spoke at a middle school in 1995. When it was over,the headmaster asked me if I would visit a special student. An illness had kept him at home. He wanted to meet me,thinking I knew about overcoming (克服) difficulties and going for dreams. I agreed.

During the drive to his home,I knew he was called Matthew,a real fighter. He had a muscle (肌肉) disease. I spent an afternoon talking to Matthew. Never once did he complain or ask, "Why me?" He didn't mention how he was made fun of being different;he just talked about his hope for the future,and how one day he wanted to lift weights with me.

When we finished talking,I pulled out the first gold medal I won and put it around his neck. I told him he was more of a winner and knew more about success and overcoming difficulties than I. He looked at it for a moment and handed it back,saying, "Rick,you are a champion. You earned that medal. Someday,when I get to the Olympics and win my gold medal,I will show it to you."

Last summer I heard from Matthew's parents. They wanted me to read a letter he had written to me a few days before his death.

Dear Rick,

I've kept all the letters you wrote to me. I told you someday I was going to the Olympics to win a gold medal. I know now I will never get to do that. But I know I am a champion. When I get to heaven,God will give me my gold medal,and when you get there,I will show it to you.

 Two years ago,I bought my girlfriend Nicole a pair of fur earmuffs (耳套) .She loved the gift and she wore them every day.

Last week,Nicole was on her way home from work,taking the New York City subway. The train stopped at Union Square. As Nicole stepped through the subway door,the earmuffs fell from her head,and dropped on the rails (鐵軌) below. Nicole was upset. "Dot't go down to the rails," somebody shouted to her. Good advice. Union Square is a busy station,with trains running past nearly every minute,and there's electricity running through the rails.

Nicole walked up to a subway worker and explained what had happened. "Sony,I can't help you," the worker said. "Maybe you could use a stick or something to fish it out." Where would she get something like that at the subway station? Disappointed,Nicole walked back to where the earmuffs fell. A homeless man was sitting right near the place. Nicole didn't notice him there earlier. Next to the man was a small box,full of various (各種各樣的) junk he had collected. " Excuse me," Nicole said, "but you don't have a stick by any chance,do you? My earmuffs fell...”

The man looked at his things and pulled out a long wooden stick. He went to where the earmuffs fell and used the stick to reach down to them. It was difficult to do so,and he had to stop when a train was coming,but the man didn't give up. At last,he got the earmuffs onto the end of the stick and brought them back up to Nicole.

Nicole was grateful. She also said she would give the man some money for helping her. But the man said there was no need to do so. When Nicole was taking out her wallet from her bag,the man walked away quickly,along with his box of junk. Then he disappeared around the corner before she could catch up with him.

   A. She was too busy.

   B. She didn't like the earmuffs very much.

   A. To fish the earmuffs out with a stick.

   B. To buy a new pair of earmuffs.

   C. To ask the homeless man to get the earmuffs out.

   D. To call the police for help.

(   ) 8. Who fished the earmuffs out?

   A. The writer. B. Nicole. C. The subway worker. D. The homeless man.

   A. showing thanks   B. being upset   C. being scared   D. showing care
