I was ready to pay for my bananas at the grocery one night, when fear seized me. My wallet was gone. I could
only have left it on the G9 bus, which was now speeding in the dark to some
16
station.
The
17
moment was quickly followed by mental math. How much time and money would it cost to
replace the
18
of that little wallet? The credit cards, the driver’s license, the cash, all lost to the bus.
Two hours later, back at my house, I heard a knock on the door. My husband
19
it while I was on the
phone in the dining room. "Does Jennifer live here?" I heard a lady say. In my husband’s hand was my wallet,
with not a penny
20
. She left before I could
21
make it to the door to offer my thanks.
After sharing the story online, I heard from someone, who
22
the lady as Erin Smith. Without
23
, I called to thank her. She said she
24
my wallet on a bus seat. She
25
that going to a
stranger’s house was a
26
move, but she decided to take the chance. "If I were in that
27
. I would
want someone to try to find me," she said.
This one stranger responded beautifully to my small
28
, but she actually wasn’t the only one. Right
after Erin
29
my wallet on the bus, she posted a picture of my driver’s license to an online forum(论坛),
trying to see
30
anyone knew me. No sooner did she leave my doorstep than I had emails from two women
whose kids go to my son’s nursery and who recognized my face. I’ve never
31
words with those moms
beyond small tall, but they wanted to help. I read that people are more divided than ever, but that’s not how the
people I
32
tend to act.
33
, I feel blessed someone had wanted to help a stranger. Erin had gone
34
what almost
anyone would have done, finding my house on a bitterly cold night, and for that I was extremely
35
.
16. A. accessible
B. hidden
C. unknown
D. convenient
17. A. face-saving
B. brain-washing
C. eye-catching
D. heart-stopping
18. A. parts
19. A. ignored
20. A. missing
21. A. still
22. A. selected
23. A. delay
24. A. moved
B. contents
B. answered
B. returned
B. ever
B. appointed
B. alarm
B. placed
25. A. disagreed
B. complained
C. details
C. examined
C. remaining
C. yet
C. identified
C. regret
C. opened
C. calculated
D. ingredients
D. interrupted
D. abandoned

B. danger
C. slow
C. situation
C. threat
D. personal

I must have always known reading was very important because the first memories I have as a child deal with
books. There was not one night that I don’t remember mom reading me a storybook by my bedside. I was
extremely inspired by the elegant way the words sounded.
I always wanted to know what my mom was reading. Hearing mom say, "I can’t believe what’s printed in the
newspaper this morning," made me want to grab it out of her hands and read it myself. I wanted to be like my mom
and know all of the things she knew. So I carried around a book, and each night, just to be like her, I would pretend
to be reading.
This is how everyone learned to read. We would start off with sentences, then paragraphs, and then stories. It
seemed an unending journey, but even as a six-year-old girl I realized that knowing how to read could open many
doors. When mom said," The C-A-N-D-Y is hidden on the top shelf," I knew where the candy was. My progress in
reading raised my curiosity, and I wanted to know everything. I often found myself telling my mom to drive more
slowly, so that I could read all of the road signs we passed.
Most of my reading through primary, middle and high school was factual reading. I read for knowledge, and to
make A’s on my tests. Occasionally, I would read a novel that was assigned, but I didn’t enjoy this type of reading. I
liked facts, things that are concrete. I thought anything abstract left too much room for argument.
Yet, now that I’m growing and the world I once knew as being so simple is becoming more complex, I find
myself needing a way to escape. By opening a novel, I can leave behind my burdens and enter into a wonderful and
mysterious world where I am now a new character. In these worlds I can become anyone. I don’t have to write
down what happened or what technique the author was using when he or she wrote this. I just read to relax.
We’re taught to read because it’s necessary for much of human understanding. Reading is a vital part of my
life. Reading satisfies my desire to keep learning. And I’ve found that the possibilities that lie within books are
limitless.
41. Why did the author want to grab the newspaper out of mom’s hands?
A. She wanted mom to read the news to her.
6
B. She was anxious to know what had happened.
C. She couldn’t wait to tear the newspaper apart.
D. She couldn’t help but stop mom from reading.
42. According to Paragraph 3, the author’s reading of road signs indicates ___________.
A. her unique way to locate herself
B. her eagerness to develop her reading ability
C. her effort to remind mom to obey traffic rules
D. her growing desire to know the world around her.
43. What was the author’s view on factual reading?
A. It would help her update test-taking skills.
B. It would allow much room for free thinking.
C. It would provide true and objective information.
D. It would help shape a realistic and serious attitude to life.
44. The author takes novel reading as a way to___________.
A. explore a fantasy land
B. develop a passion for leaning
C. learn about the adult community
D. get away from a confusing world
45. What could be the best title for the passage?
A. The Magic of Reading
C. Growing Up with Reading
B. The Pleasure of Reading
D. Reading Makes a Full Man
