It was a winter morning, just a couple ...

 

    It was a winter morning, just a couple of weeks before Christmas 2005. While most people were warming up their ears, Trevor, my husband, had to get up early to ride his bike four kilometers away from home to work. On arrival, he parked his bike outside the back door as he usually does. After putting in 10 hours of labor, he returned to find his bike gone.

The bike, a black Kona 18 speed, was our only transport. Trevor used it to get to work, putting in 60-hour weeks to support his young family. And the bike was also used to get groceries (食品杂货) saving us from having to walk long distances from where we live.

I was so sad that someone would steal our bike that I wrote to the newspaper and told them our story. Shortly after that,several people in our area offered to help. One wonderful stranger even bought a bike, then called my husband to pick ii up. Once again my husband had a way to get to and from his job. It really is an honor that a complete stranger would go out of their way for someone they have never met before.

People say that a smile can be passed from one person to another, but acts of kindness from strangers are even more so. This experience has had a spreading effect in our lives because it strengthened our faith in humanity (人性) as a whole. And it has influenced (影响) us to be more mindful of ways we, too, can share with others. No matter how or how small, an act of kindness shows that someone cares. And the results can be everlasting.

1.Why was the bike so important to the couple?

A. The man’s job was bike racing.    B. It was their only possession.

c. It was a nice Kona 18 speed.    D. They used it for work and daily life

2.We can infer from the text that ________

A. The couple worked 60 hours a week    B. people were busy before Christmas

C. the stranger brought over the bike    D. life was hard for the young family

3.How did people get to know the couple’s problem?

A. From radio broadcasts.    B. From a newspaper.

C. From TV news.    D. From a stranger.

4.What do the couple learn from their experience?

A. Strangers are usually of little help.    B. One should take care of their bike.

C. News reports make people famous.    D. An act of kindness can mean a lot.

 

1.D  这是一道归纳题。根据第二段“Trevor used it to get to work...And the bike was also used to get groceries,”可知自行车是Trevor家工作和日常生活的交通工具。 2.D  这是一道推理题。根据第一段“While most people were warming up their cars,Trevor,my husband,had to get up early to ride his bike four kilometers away from home to work.”可知大部分人都开车,而Trevor要早起骑车去工作,可以看出Trevor家不富裕。 3.B  这是一道推断题。根据第三段“I was so sad that someone would steal our bike that I wrote to the newspaper and told them our story.”可知作者把自行车被盗的事情告诉了报纸,所以人们是在报纸上知道这个故事的。 4.D  这是一道归纳题。根据最后两句“No matter how big or how small,an act of kindness shows that someone cares.And the results can be everlasting.”可知善行无论大小,作用是巨大的。
