It's a small gas station that has snacks, drinks, cigarettes, and candies. The young man behind the counter knows his __36__  by name and what they normally want to buy. He treats children and adults with equal  __37__. He reads science fiction behind the counter when business is  __38__.

One day, three people rushed in and grabbed food off the shelves as fast as they could,  __39__  not intending to pay for it. He hit the “panic button” , then went over the counter and  __40__  the front door. It was obvious that they were homeless, and equally obvious that they weren't going  __41__  with their ill?gotten gains. They  __42__  the food and simply crowded together in panic—knowing the police were  __43__  the way.

Imagine what they must have felt like when they were told they didn't have to steal if they were that  __44__. “We have food in the back, expired (到期)but still  __45__  to eat. If you need food, you  __46__  have some.”

They were told to  __47__  what they had dropped and put it back, and then asked to straighten out the mess. They were doing just that  __48__  the police arrived. The officers were told the situation was under control and the police were no longer  __49__.

This wasn't what they had  __50__. They were being treated as human beings who could right the wrong they'd done. Shocked, they quickly followed orders to take turns and use the restroom to clean up.

Soon three  __51__  people walked out with all the  __52__  their arms could hold. They were  __53__  that,if they needed to come back again, they were to ask and not just grab.

And then the young man went back to read until the next customer came in. He would be the  __54__ person in the world to claim he was a hero. But he gave three people something they were in desperate need of—a  __55__amount of self?respect and a little bit of hope.

解析;從空后的“what they normally want to buy”可知應(yīng)填customers。

答案;C

解析;他平等地對(duì)待兒童和成年人。respect“尊重”;  pride“驕傲”;wisdom“智慧”;privilege“特權(quán)”。

答案;A

解析;當(dāng)生意清淡的時(shí)候,他就在柜臺(tái)后面看科幻小說(shuō)。slow“(生意等)清淡的,冷清的”。

答案;A

解析;從rushed in“闖進(jìn)來(lái)”和grabbed“搶占”可知,這三個(gè)人很明顯不想付錢。bravely“勇敢地”;reasonably“合理地”;hardly“幾乎不”;obviously“明顯地”。 

答案;D

解析;他按了應(yīng)急(呼救)按鈕,走過(guò)柜臺(tái),鎖上了前門。從前面可知“有人進(jìn)來(lái)硬搶東西”,所以小伙子應(yīng)該是去將門鎖住,以防罪犯逃脫。panic button應(yīng)急(呼救)按鈕。

答案;B

解析;很明顯他們不想帶著他們非法獲得的東西到任何地方去。ill­gotten gains“不義之財(cái)”。

答案;C

解析;他們丟掉食物,倉(cāng)皇地?cái)D在一起。第四段中的dropped有暗示。in panic“倉(cāng)皇地,恐慌地”。

答案;D

解析;從expired(到期)but可知:盡管(食物)到期,但仍安全,可放心吃。故safe符合語(yǔ)境。

答案;A

解析;如果你們需要食物,你們可以吃一些。

答案;B

解析;他們被告知撿起他們?nèi)拥舻臇|西,并放回去,然后清理一下弄亂的場(chǎng)面。hold up“阻擋”;hand out“分發(fā)”;pick up“撿起”;hand in“遞交”。

答案;C

解析;他們正在清理被他們弄亂的場(chǎng)面時(shí)突然警察到了。be doing+when是固定搭配,意為“正在做某事突然……”。

答案;A

解析;被告知場(chǎng)面已被控制,就不需要警察了。popular“受歡迎的”;necessary“必要的”;reliable“可靠的”;important“重要的”。

解析;這是他們沒(méi)想到的。從上文“他們倉(cāng)皇地?cái)D在一起”可知,他們?cè)詾榫鞎?huì)把他們抓走。want“想要”;desire“要求”;expect“期望”;admire“欽佩”。

答案;C

解析;根據(jù)語(yǔ)境可知,不久,三個(gè)清洗干凈的人手里拿著足夠的食物走了出來(lái)。

答案;B

解析;從上文的“If you need food”可知,此處是小伙子讓這三個(gè)無(wú)家可歸的人拿走了足夠的食物。

Afraid that her son would be too tired, Ms. Wendy would sometimes tell the boy to skip school, but each time, Fabian would insist on going to school.
“I don’t like it because when I return to school, I don’t know what’s going on,” the 12-year-old boy explained. He suffers for SMA-a neuromuscular(神經(jīng)肌肉的)disease that leads to weakness in muscles-and gets around in a wheelchair.
Fabian’s determination to excel in his studies was evident when he was disappointed that he got a total score of 236 yesterday in his Primary School Leaving Examination. He was hoping for a score of at least 240, but his mother was full of pride. “I am happy with his results. He’s very motivated,” said Ms. Wendy.
When Fabian was two months old, he was diagnosed with SMA. Ms. Wendy, who used to go to other homes to teach piano lessons, started teaching lessons at home so she could take care of her son. Fabian proved to be a fighter. Ms. Wendy said, “ He would study every day on his own even though he was weak and his spine(脊柱)was already starting to curve quite badly.”
Fabian is also active in the Singapore Disability Sports Council, where he plays boccia(滾球), a ball sport for those who require a wheelchair due to physical disability.
At just 133cm tall and weighing 14kg, he knows that he will have to rely on others all his life. “I’m afraid that when my parents grow older, they will not be able to carry me and that there will be nobody to carry me,” said Fabian. “But for now, I feel lucky that I get to go out and do a lot of things that I thought I couldn’t.”
His dreams aren’t lofty(崇高的)either-all he want to be able to do is work and provide for his parents. “I just want to study hard so that I can be a businessman, like my dad.” He is planning to apply to study at Victoria School.
【小題1】The underlined word “it” in the second paragraph refers to ______.
A. going to school.               B. being absent from school
C. studying hard.                   D. suffering from SMA.
【小題2】We can know from the text that Fabian ______.

A.got the disease at the age of 12.
