Just recently I had been wondering if there was much point in doing little acts of kindness. So often they get 36 , and occasionally they come back to bite you! Then, just last week, after a long travel, I found myself 37 at a bus station. The bus was four hours late! So, I guess I wasn’t in a good 38 . That’s when a woman asked me if I had any spare 39 to help her get a bus ticket. “Oh, sure,” I said sarcastically (挖苦地). “How much would you like?” As I spoke, I mentally kicked myself for my 40 and reached into my bag for some money. As I handed her five dollars, I heard low sounds from her stomach because of real 41 . I reached back into my bag and brought out a 42 I had bought earlier. I handed it to her with a(n) 43 that I hoped would make up for my earlier tone of voice. Getting a 44 look at her now, I realized she was extremely tired, like she had had several months of 45 days! As she took the food, a look of 46 washed over her. In return, she tried to give me a Milwaukee bus ticket! I don’t live in Milwaukee and the ticket will probably 47 be used, but I took it. A few minutes later she came back over, apologized, and told me she was still 48 of five dollars. I took some singles out of my bag and slipped a twenty in there as well. 49 , the voice in my head told me I was being a fool. Five minutes later she came back again and tried to 50 my twenty. When I said it was for her so she could get something else to 51 , and that I was completely serious and I wasn’t taking it 52 , she started crying and hugged me. From now on, when I wonder if it is 53 trying to help someone, I will remember that woman. Maybe I am really a 54 for someone. So, sure, sometimes my efforts might not be noticed, and sometimes they might come back to bite me, but they might actually 55 another human being! 小题1: A．ignored B．appreciated C．acknowledged D．forgiven 小题2: A．examined B．trapped C．confused D．delayed 小题3: A．habit B．place C．mood D．situation 小题4: A．change B．time C．hand D．energy 小题5: A．appearance B．attitude C．selfishness D．experience 小题6: A．pain B．anxiety C．hunger D．fear 小题7: A．souvenir B．ticket C．gift D．cake 小题8: A．shout B．smile C．apology D．praise 小题9: A．quick B．gentle C．good D．cold 小题10: A．dark B．tough C．mysterious D．special 小题11: A．relief B．regret C．doubt D．anger 小题12: A．once B．often C．sometimes D．never 小题13: A．ashamed B．aware C．short D．proud 小题14: A．ually B．However C．Therefore D．Besides 小题15: A．return B．show C．share D．earn 小题16: A．do B．trade C．add D．eat 小题17: A．away B．out C．back D．over 小题18: A．hard B．fun C．useless D．worth 小题19: A．difference B．profit C．decision D．suggestion 小题20: A．excite B．help C．educate D．inspire
