had a fear of my going，though I had none—and when I was brought to the North Tower they
found these upon my sleeve．‘You will leave me them? They can never help me to escape in the
body，though they may in the spirit．’Those were the words I said．I remember them very well. ”
He formed this speech with his lips many times before he could utter it．But when he did find
spoken words for it，they came to him coherently(连贯地)，though slowly． “How was this?一Was it you? ”

阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C、D）中选出最佳选项。
A report consistently brought back by visitors to the US is how friendly，courteous and helpful most Americans were to them．To be fair，this observation is also frequently made of Canada and Canadians，and should best be considered North American．There are，of course，exceptions．Small-minded officials，rude waiters，and ill-mannered taxi drivers are hardly unknown in the US．Yet it is an observation made so frequently that it deserves comment．For a long period of time and in many parts of the country, a traveler was a welcome break in an otherwise dull existence．
Dullness and loneliness were common problems of the families who generally lived distant from one another．Strangers and travelers were welcome sources of diversion，and brought news of the outside world．The harsh realities of the frontier also shaped this tradition of hospitality．
Someone traveling alone，if hungry，injured，or ill，often had nowhere to turn except to the nearest cabin or settlement．It was not a matter of choice for the traveler or merely a charitable impulse on the part of the settlers．It reflected the harshness of daily life： if you didn‘t take in the stranger and take care of him，there was no one else who would．And someday，remember，you might be in the same situation．Today there are many charitable organizations which specialize in helping the weary traveler．Yet，the old tradition of hospitality to strangers is still very strong in the US，especially in the smaller cities and towns away from the busy tourist trails．“I was just traveling through，got talking with this American，and pretty soon he invited me home for dinner—amazing．” Such observations reported by visitors to the US are not uncommon，but are not always understood properly．
1．In the eyes of visitors from the outside world，___________． A．rude taxi drivers are rarely seen in the US
B．small-minded officials deserve a serious comment C．Canadians are not so friendly as their neighbors D．most Americans are ready to offer help
2．It could be inferred from the last paragraph that ___________． A．culture exercises an influence over social interrelationship B．courteous convention and individual interest are interrelated C．various virtues manifest themselves exclusively among friends D．social interrelationships equal the complex set of cultural conventions 3．Families in frontier settlements used to entertain strangers ___________． A．to improve their hard life
B．in view of their long-distance travel C．to add some flavor to their own daily life D．out of a charitable impulse
4．The tradition of hospitality to strangers ___________． A．tends to be superficial and artificial
B．is generally well kept up in the united States C．is always understood properly
D．has something to do with the busy tourist trails
5．What’s the author’s attitudes toward the American‘s friendliness？

阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项。
Barefoot and dirty，the girl just sat and watched the people go by．She never tried to speak．Many people passed，but never did one person stop．
The next day I decided to go back to the park，curious to see if the little girl would still be there．Right in the very spot as she was yesterday，she sat with the saddest look in her eyes．
Today I was to make my own move and walk over to the little girl．As we all know，a park full of strange people is not a place for young children to play alone．
As I began walking towards her，I could see the back of the little girl’s dress indicated a deformity（畸形）．I smiled to let her know it was okay，I was there to help，to talk．I sat down beside her and opened with a simple “Hello”．I smiled and she shyly smiled back．We talked until darkness fell and the park was completely empty．I asked the girl why she was so sad．The little girl looked at me and with a sad face said，“Because I’m different．”
I immediately said “That you are!” and smiled．The little girl acted even sadder．She said，“I know．” She looked at me and smiled．Slowly she stood to her feet，and said，“Really?”
“Yes，dear，you’re like a little guardian angel sent to watch over all those people walking by．” She nodded her head “yes” and smiled，and with that she spread her wings and said with a twinkle in her eye，“I am．I’m your guardian angel．”
I was speechless，sure I was seeing things．She said，“For once you thought of someone other than yourself，my job here is done．”
Immediately I stood to my feet and said，“Wait，so why did no one stop to help an angel!?” She looked at me and smiled，“You’re the only one who could see me，and you believe it in your heart．”…and she was gone．
And with that my life changed dramatically．So，when you think you’re all you have，remember，your angel is always watching over you．Mine is! 1．People just passed by the girl because _______． A．they pretended not to see her B．she pretended to be poor C．they never thought of helping her
