Twenty years ago, I drove a taxi for a living. One early morning, I 1 a call for a taxi. When I arrived at the building, it was 2:30 a.m. and I found the building was dark except for the only light in a first floor window.
Many drivers would just shout once or twice and then drove away, but I thought this 2 might need my help. So I walked to the door and knocked. "Just a minute," answered a 3 , elderly voice.
After a long time, the door opened. A small old man showed up before me, 4 a small bag. He kept thanking me for my S . "It's nothing," I told him.
"Oh, you're such a good man," he said. When we got into the taxi, he gave me a(an) 6 , and then asked, "Could you drive through the city center?"
"But it wasn't the 7 way." I answered quickly. "Oh, I'm in no hurry," he said. "I'm on my way to a hospital. I don't have any family left. The 8 says I don't have much time left."
I 9 started the taxi and shut off the meter(计程器). For the next two hours, we drove through the city center. He showed me the building where he once worked. We drove 10 the church where he got married. He would never forget that happy moment. Sometimes he'd ask me to slow down in front of a building and would sit 11 the darkness for a long time, saying nothing. When the sun began to rise,we drove in silence to the address he had given me. When we arrived, 12 without thinking, I gave him a big hug. "You gave an old man a little moment of 13 . Thank you!" He said with tears in his eyes.
I was completely lost in thought for the rest of the day. What would happen if I had refused to do 14 I did? We always think that there are no 15 moments in our lives, but great moments are just in what others may think small and unimportant ones!

A
Here is some information about bats from a website.
◆ Bats are seldom seen in the daytime. They are shy creatures, and want to avoid you as much as you might want to avoid them. They sleep during the day and hunt at night. They don't build nests. When they rest or sleep, they hang upside down in trees, caves, or from other surfaces using their long claws. They can sleep up to 20 hours.
◆Bats are the only mammals(哺乳动物) that can fly. They are not flying mice.
◆Bats come in all different colours and shapes. Some are red and have huge ears and some have very unusual faces.
◆A bat will eat half its weight in food in a single night. One little bat can eat more than 600 mosquitoes in a single hour.
◆Bats are not blind. They can fly at night without crashing into things. Most bats use a kind of echolocation(回声定位) system that allows them to "see" with their ears. The sounds that they send out bounce off objects and return to their ears. Not all bats use echolocation, however. Fruit bats use sight(视力) and smell to find the exact position of their food. Fruit bats eat fruit,
◆Most sounds that a bat makes can't be heard by human.
◆A bat can hear the footsteps of a walking insect!
◆Most bats send signals with their mouths; others use their noses.
◆Bats help farmers by eating insects before the insects eat the crops that are growing. The fruit-eating bats help spread fruit seeds. Some bats spread pollen from flower to flower in the way bees do.

If we are asked exactly what we were doing a year ago, we should probably have to say that we cannot remember. But if we had kept a notebook and had written in it an account(陈述) of what we did each day, we should be able to give an answer to the question.
It is the same in history. Many things have been forgotten because we have not written down the facts. Sometimes men did keep a record of the important happenings in their country, but it was often destroyed by fire or in a war. Sometimes there was never any written record at all because the people of that time and place did not know how to write. For example, we know a lot about the people who lived in China 4,000 years ago, because they could write and leave written records. But we know almost nothing about the people who lived even 200 years ago in Central Africa because they had not learnt to write.
Sometimes, even if the people cannot write, they may know something of the past. Songs, dances and oral( 口头的) stories are handed down from generation(代) to generation. People are proud to tell or get to know what their fathers did in the past. This is what we may call "remembered history". Words may be easily changed when songs and oral stories go from one person to another. In spite of this, when there are no written records, such remembered history is very helpful.
6. Which of the following ideas is NOT included in the passage?
A. Remembered history is less reliable(可靠的) than written history.
B. Written records of the past are very important for us to learn about our history.
C. Not all the people in the world know how to record their history in writing.
D. If there are no written records, there is no history.
7. We know very little about Central Africa 200 years ago because___________.
A. there was nothing worth writing down at that time
B. the people there paid no attention to the importance of keeping a record
C. the written records were destroyed by fire
D. the people there did not know how to write
8. Remembered history refers to_____________.
A. history based on a person's imagination
B. stories of important happenings passing down from mouth to mouth
C. songs and dances about the most important events
D. both B and C
9. Remembered history is considered as valuable only when________.
A. it is written down B. there is no written records
C. it proves to be true D. people are interested in it
10. The passage suggests that we could have learnt much more about our past than we do now if the ancient people had__________.
A. kept a record of every past event
B. not destroyed their written records in wars
C. told the exact stories of the most important happenings
D. made more songs and dances

Changes in My Hometown
When I returned to my hometown last month, I found it changed a lot.
My hometown used to be a quiet small town. There were green hills and clean water. The air was fresh. People went around by bike or on foot. But now it has become a modern town. There are many tall buildings and you can see wide roads everywhere. Many buses drive past our community every day. And many people have bought their own cars, so it's easy to travel around. However, the changes of my hometown have also brought us a lot of trouble. For example, the water is not as clean as before. I think we should work together to make our environment much better.
