“How do you explain the fact that even though you were both blind and deaf, you were able to accomplish so much？” Queen Victoria of England asked Helen Keller.

Ms Keller answered, “If it had not been for Anne Sullivan, the name of Helen Keller would have remained unknown.”

In fact, “Little Annie”， as she was called when she was young, was no stranger to hardship. She was almost sightless herself (due to a childhood fever) and was, at one time, diagnosed as hopelessly “insane” and was locked in the basement of a mental institution. On occasion, Little Annie would even violently attack anyone who came near.

An elderly nurse believed there was hope, however, and she made it her mission to show love to the child. She still continued to visit for she believed Little Annie could recover, if she was shown love.

Eventually, doctors noticed a change in the girl. Where they witnessed anger and coldness they noted gentleness and love. They moved her upstairs where she continued to improve. Then the day finally came when this seemingly “hopeless” child was released.

Anne Sullivan grew into a young woman with a desire to help others as she, herself, was helped by the kind nurse. It was she who saw the great potential in Helen Keller. She loved her, disciplined her，played with her and worked with her until the weak candle became a beacon of light to the world. She worked wonders in Helen's life; but it was a loving nurse who first believed in Little Annie and lovingly transformed an uncommunicative child into a compassionate teacher.

“If it had not been for Anne Sullivan, the name of Helen Keller would have remained unknown.” But if it had not been for a kind and dedicated nurse, the name of Anne Sullivan would have remained unknown. And so it goes. And how far forward will it lead?

1.When she was young, Little Annie________．

A．enjoyed being locked in the basement of a mental institution

B．complained about her loneliness

C．showed her friendly attitude to others

D．suffered from mental illness

2.Why did the “hopeless” Little Annie change into a helpful one?

A．Because an efficient way was found by doctors to cure her illness.

B．Because a nurse who was concerned about her helped her constantly.

C．Because she was taken good care of by her relative.

D．Because the illness was defeated by her own strong will.

3.How did Anne Sullivan help Helen Keller?

A．She devoted all her time to dealing with everything for Helen Keller.

B．She promised Helen Keller never to leave her.

C．She trained Helen Keller to control her behaviour.

D．She encouraged Helen Keller to make friends with others.

4.Which of the following might be the best title for the text?

A．A caring nurse

B．Chain of love

C．Without respect, without success

D．God helps those who help themselves

One spring, when I was 10, during one of my father’s layoffs (失業(yè)), I could tell my mother was unhappy. I decided to cheer her up by buying her a special Mother’s Day gift.

One day after school I rode my bike to the Agins, which, I learned years later, was known for its high-end fashions (時(shí)尚) and styles. I introduced myself to Sylvia Agins, telling her I was looking for a Mother’s Day present.

“Do you think she’d like a purse?” she asked. I told her. I thought she might.

She took out an Italian handbag made of leather. She asked me what I thought, and I told her that my mom would like it.

“How much money do you have?” she asked.

“Twelve dollars,” I said.

“You’re in luck,” she told me. “It’s only $11. You have a dollar left over for the card.” She gift-wrapped the purse and thanked me for my business, and I rode off home with the package under my arm.

When my mother opened the gift the next Sunday morning, she asked in an accusing tone, “Where did you get this?”

“I bought it at the Agins. It cost me $11.” I said.

My mother was shocked into silence.

It wasn’t until many years later, when I learned that the purse was worth several hundred dollars, that I appreciated just how wonderful Sylvia Agins had been to me. I always felt bad that I never had a chance to properly thank her.

“You know, my son, what really amazes me to this day,” my mother said, “Letting you have the purse for just a few dollars was unbelievable enough. But the fact that she let you leave the store with a dollar for the card was a touch of kindness that I’ll never forget.”

1.The author bought his mother a purse to ________.

A. surprise his mother B. make his mother happy

C. show his ability of making money D. thank his mother for buying him a bike

2.Why was the author’s mother shocked into silence?

A. She wasn’t expecting a gift from her son.

B. The purse was bought from the Agins.

C. The author bought a card to go with the purse.

D. The Agins charged so little money for the purse.

3.Sylvia Agins’ behavior shows that________.

A. she is good at making money B. she is kind and thoughtful

C. she knows how to choose presents D. she is critical and mean

4.Which of the following can be the best title for the text?

A. An Unforgettable Event B. A Considerate Mother
