A
John and Mary had a nice home and two lovely children.John had just been asked to go on a business trip to another city for several days and Mary would go with him too.They hired a reliable woman to care for their children and returned home a little earlier than they had planned.
As they drove into their hometown,they found a home on fire.After having a look,Mary said,“Oh well,it isn’t our fire.Let’s go home.” But John drove closer and said,“That home belongs to Fred Jones who wouldn’t be off work yet.Maybe there is something we could do.”
John noticed an old lady screamed to him,“Get the children!” John grabbed(抓住) her by the shoulder saying,“Get a hold of yourself and tell us where the children are!” “In the basement,” cried the lady.
In spite of Mary’s disagreement,John soaked (浸湿) his clothes and ran to the basement which was full of smoke.He found the door and grabbed two children.As he left he could hear some more cry.He sent the two badly frightened children into the waiting room and asked how many more children were down there.They told him two more children and Mary grabbed his arm and screamed,“John!Don’t go back!It’s dangerous!That house will fall down in any second!”
But he shook her off and went back.It seemed a very long time before he found both children and started going back.As he climbed up the endless steps,the thought went through his mind that there was something strangely familiar about the little bodies next to him,and at last when they came out into the sunlight and fresh air,he found that he had just rescued his own children.The babysitter had left them at this home while she did some shopping.
1.The old lady screamed to John to .

B
We give toys to kids who otherwise wouldn’t have them.Load bags with canned foods for the hungry.Make donations to those who need it.This time of year,it seems,we focus more on doing good and being good.Certainly,that’s not a bad thing.
Researchers at the University of California say that kindness,and related qualities like sympathy and compassion are actually a form of self preservation.Those who give more,get more.The most generous among us have greater influence and are more popular.Whereas,the unkind and unhelpful are more likely to be away from us.After all,it stands to reason,that if I’m paddling your lifeboat,you’ll keep me afloat a little longer.
So,is kindness motivated by our real concern for others or are we do-gooders because it makes us look good and shores up our position in the society Probably both.Most of us really enjoy helping others.It makes us feel good,connected,happy and that makes for a more satisfying life.But,it doesn’t hurt that we also receive other rewards—status,cooperation,influence—that will help us survive and become successful.
Despite all the benefits,I tend most often toward kindness only when it’s convenient.That doesn’t mean I have bad manners.I say “my pleasure” and “thank you”.I hold the door open for passengers.But,I could be kinder,more often.Sometimes I’m stopped from doing good by just how to do it.Sometimes,I’m just not thinking enough about others to recognise the need.Sometimes,I’m plain,a little selfish.
I’m working to be more aware of those around me.To slow down and move with patience and purpose on the freeway.To be more kind.My acts of kindness aren’t complex or flashy—I’m not the type.They aren’t expensive—I’m too cheap.But those things aren’t required.You don’t have to feel guilty that your kind gesture wasn’t as big as building a school in Africa.Kindness can be a small,simple act and still make an extremely large impact.Notice a need and then consciously offer a bit of yourself.
5.What do the researchers believe about kindness
A.It is a behaviour for self-protection and survival.
B.It reflects the generosity of human nature.
C.It advocates doing good or being good.
D.It makes people more and more selfish.
答案:A
解析:细节理解题。由文中第二段,尤其是第一句“Researchers at the University of California say that kindness,and related qualities like sympathy and compassion are actually a form of self-preservation.”可知,研究者认为善意是一种自我保护的生存行为。故A项正确。
6.The third paragraph mainly explains why kindness is .
A.a quality of sympathy
B.a concern for others
C.a win-win quality
D.an approach to donate
答案:C
解析:段落大意题。由文中第三段中的“So,is kindness motivated by our real concern for others or are we do-gooders because it makes us look good and shores up our position in the society Probably both.”可知,仁慈是由我们对别人真正的关心驱动的。做善事能使我们看起来很好,也能支撑我们的社会地位。而下面就是围绕这两个原因展开的,所以第三段说明的是为什么仁慈是双赢的。故C项正确。
7.When will the author stop doing good according to the paragraph 4
A.When someone says he is selfish.
B.When he doesn’t know others’ needs.
C.When he is enjoying a satisfying life.
D.When someone has bad manners.
答案:B
解析:推理判断题。由第四段中的“Sometimes I’m stopped from doing good by just how to do it.Sometimes,I’m just not thinking enough about others to recognise the need.Sometimes,I’m plain,a little selfish.”可知,作者有时不去做好事的原因是他不知道别人的需求是什么。故B项正确。
8.From the author’s point of view,kindness .
A.can be something simple and practical
B.should be something impressive
C.starts from some grand and heroic actions
D.is a matter of awareness in cooperation
答案:A
解析:推理判断题。文中最后一段中的“Kindness can be a small,simple act and still make an extremely large impact.”提到,善意可以是简单的小举动,但是会产生很大的影响。故A项正确。
