题文
阅读理解。 Compassion is a desire within us to help others. With effort, we can translate compassion into action. Anexperience last weekend showed me this is true. I work part-time in a supermarket across from a building for
the elderly. These old people are our main cus- tomers,and it's not hard to lose patience over their slowness.
But last Sunday, one aged gentleman appeared to teach me a valuable les- son. This untidy man walked up to
my register (收款机 ) with a box of biscuits. He said he was out of cash (现金), had just moved into his
room, and had nothing in his cupboards. He asked if we could let him have the food on trust. He promised to
repay
me the next day.
I couldn't help staring at him. I wondered what kind of person he had been ten or twenty years before,
and what he would be like if luck had gone his way. I had a hurt in my heart for this kind of hu- man soul, all
alone in the world. I told him that I was sorry, but store rules didn't allow me to do so. I felt stupid and unkind
saying this, but I valued my job.
Just then, another man, standing behind the first, spoke up. If anything, he looked more pitiable."Charge it
to me," was all he said.
What I had been feeling was pity. Pity is soft and safe and easy. Compassion, on the other hand, is caring
in action. I thanked the second man but told him that was not allowed either. Then I reached into my pocket
and paid for the biscuits myself. I reached into my pocket because these two men had reached into my heart
and taught me compassion. 1. The aged gentleman who wanted to buy the biscuits___. A. promised to obey the store rules

【题型说明】
该类文章内容涉及到人们的言谈举止、生活习惯、饮食起居、服饰仪表、恋爱婚姻、消遣娱乐、节日起源、家庭生活等。文章篇幅短小，追根溯源，探索各项风俗的历史渊源，内容有趣。命题也以送分题为主，如事实细节题、语义转换题、词义猜测题和简单推理判断题等。虽然这类文章读起来感觉轻松，试题做起来比较顺手，但绝不能掉以轻心。因为稍不留神，就会丢分。
【备考提醒】
为了保证较高准确率，建议同学们做好以下几点：
1、保持正常的考试心态。笔者在教学中发现，越是容易的试题，同学们越是容易失分。为什么呢？因为在这种情况下，同学们极易产生麻痹思想，认为题目好做，就不引起高度重视，于是思维不发散、不周密。而命题人就是利用同学们的这一弱点，设计陷阱题。所以，无论试题难易与否，我们都要保持正常的考试心态。试题容易，不欣喜；试题难，不悲观。
2、根据前面讲到的方法，认认真真、细细心心做好事实细节题。
3、做好语义转换题。这类题是根据英语中一词多义和某些词语在文中能表达一定的修辞意义的原则而设计的。要求同学们解释某生词的含义，确定多义词或短语在文中的意思，确认文中的某个代词所指代的对象，或者对英语中特有的表达、格言、谚语进行解释。这种题要求同学们一定要根据上下文猜测词义或理解句子，切不可望文生义。
4、做好简单推理判断题。简单推理判断题要以表面文字为前提，以具体事实为依据进行推理，做出判断。这种推理方式比较直接，只要弄清事实，即可结合常识推断出合理的结论。
