Ⅵ. Reading comprehension （阅读理解）
A. Choose the best answer （根据以下内容，选择最恰当的答案）
One day, many years ago, when I was working as a psychologist（心理学家）in England, David was brought into my office. His face was pale and he stared at his feet.
David has lost his father when he was two years old and had lived with his mother and grandfather even since. But the year before he turned 13, his grandfather died and his mother was killed in a car accident. His teacher told me that he refused to talk to others from then on.
How could I help him
David didn’t say a word. As he was about to leave, I put my hand on his shoulder. “Come back next week if you like,”I said.
He came, and I suggested we play a game of chess. He nodded. After that we played chess every Wednesday afternoon -- in complete silence. Usually, he arrived earlier than agreed. It seemed as if he enjoyed my company. But why didn’t he ever look at me
“Perhaps he simply needs someone to share his pain with,” I thought.
Months later, when I was staring at his head, he suddenly looked up at me. “It’s your turn,” he said. After that day, David started talking. He finally got friends in school and he even joined a bicycle club. He wrote to me a few times. Now he has really started to live his life.
Maybe I gave David something. But I learned a lot from him. I learned how time makes it possible to overcome（克服）what seems to be so painful. David showed me how one -- without a word -- can reach out to another person. All it takes is a shoulder to cry on, a friendly touch and an ear that listens.

D. Answer the questions （根据以下内容回答问题）
What makes a gift special Is it the price you see on the gift receipt Or is it the look on the recipient’s face when they receive it that determines the true value What gift is worth the most
This Christmas I was thinking about what to give my father. My dad is a hard person to buy for because he never wants anything. I pulled out my phone to read a text message from my mom saying that we were leaving for Christmas shopping for him when I came across a message on my phone. The message was from my father. My eyes fell on a photo of a flower taken in Wyoming, and underneath a poem by William Blake. The flower, a lonely dandelion（蒲公英）standing against the bright blue sky inspired（给……以灵感）me. My dad had been reciting those words to me since I was a kid. That may even be the reason why I love writing. I decided that those words would be my gift to my father.
I called back. I told my mom to go without me and that I already created my gift. I sent the photo of the cream - colored flower to my computer and typed the poem on top of it. As I was arranging the details another poem came to mind. The poem was written by Edgar Allan Poe: my dad recited it as much as he did the other. I typed that out as well and searched online for a background to the words of it. The poem was focused around dreaming, and after searching I found the perfect picture. The image was painted with blues and greens and purples, twisting together to create the theme and wonder of a dream. As I watched both poems passing through the printer, the white paper coloring with words that shaped my childhood, I felt that this was aa gift that my father would truly appreciate.
Christmas soon arrived. The minute I saw the look on my dad’s face as he unwrapped those black letters carefully placed in a cheap frame（框）, I knew I had given the perfect gift.
