She was getting online to order some smile cards herself so that she could continue giving the blessings to others! This made me realize that this 38 of giving gifts really touches a chord (心弦) deep within all of us. That chord tells us that generosity and kindness are our true 39 , and that we all want to be a part of it when we see it in action.

Suddenly the student asked the teacher 41 he could find his soul mate(灵魂伴侣). Silent for a few seconds, the teacher said, “Look that way, there 42 (be) a lot of grass. Walk there 43 (find) only a blade(一根) of beautiful grass and pick it up and then give it to me. But don’t walk backwards, just walk straight ahead.” The student walked straight ahead to the grassy field. A few minutes 44 (late), the student came back. The teacher asked, “Well, I don’t see a beautiful blade of grass in 45 hand.” “On my journey, I found quite a few beautiful blade of grass, but I thought I would find a 46 (good) one, so I didn’t pick it. But I didn’t realize that I was 47 the end of the field, and I hadn’t picked any 48 you told me not to go back,” said the student. The teacher said, “That’s 49 will happen in real life. Grass is the people around you, the beautiful blade of grass is the people 50 attract you and the grassy field is time. In looking for your soul mate, please don’t always compare and hope that there will be a better one. By doing that, you’ll waste your lifetime and time never goes back.” Ⅲ.阅读(共两节，满分40分) 第一节 阅读理解(共15小题;每小题2分，满分30分) 阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。 (A) Many years ago, when I was fresh out of school and working in Denver, I was driving to my parents’ home in Missouri for Christmas. I stopped at a gas station (加油站) about 50 miles from Oklahoma City, where I was planning to stop and visit a friend. While I was standing in line at the cash register (收款台), I said hello to an older couple who were also paying for gas. I took off, but had gone only a few miles when black smoke poured from the back of my car. I stopped and wondered what I should do. A car pulled up behind me. It was the couple that I had spoken to at the gas station. They said they would take me to my friend’s. we chatted on the way into the city, and when I got out of the car, the husband gave me his business card. I wrote him and his wife a thank-you note for helping me. Soon afterward, I received a Christmas present from them. Their note that came with it said that helping me had made their holidays meaningful. Years later, I drove to a meeting in a nearby town in the morning. In the late afternoon I returned to my car and found that I’d left the lights on all day, and the battery (电池) was dead. Then I noticed that the Friendly Ford dealership – a shop selling cars – was right next door. I walked over and found two salesmen in the showroom. “Just how friendly is Friendly Ford?” I asked and explained my trouble. They quickly drove a pickup truck to my car and started it. They would accept no payment, so when I got home, I wrote them a note to say thanks. I received a letter back from one of the salesman. No one had ever taken the time to write him and say thank you, and it meant a lot, he said. “Thank you” – two powerful words. They’re easy to say and mean so much. 51.
