22、It was such an extremely freezing day that I decided to get a cup of hot drinking first after work. As my colleague, Ricky, and I were making our way to a coffee shop, I noticed an old gentleman rather poorly dressed sitting on a bench nearby. Obviously he was frozen, seemingly one of the homeless or someone like that.
We joined the line and waited to be served. Ricky handed the server a twenty-dollar bill, ordered three cups of hot coffee, and gestured the sever to give one to the old gentleman outside on the bench as a favour. The server looked at Ricky, a little perplexed, without full comprehension of the request. Afterwards, there was a wonderful exchange between the server and the old man in need of some attention. I only wished I had taken a photo of the smiles on the both faces.
As I was thinking about this event later on, I wondered to myself why Ricky didn’t perform this act of kindness himself. I suspect that deep down in his heart he was hoping that this act of kindness might inspire others to do something for this old man as well. Absolutely beautiful!
There are many ways of thinking when we met someone as the old man in need of kindness and attention. Perhaps he needs a little helping hand and thanks God for my colleague who inspired the others to goodness as well. Oh, by the way, the last words Ricky told the server was,
“There go I, but for the Grace of God.”
【1】What was the author’s impression of the old gentleman?
A. He was a greedy man
B. He took on a sign of poor manners.
C. He was in poor health.
D. He needed some kind of human care.
【2】The underlined word “perplexed” in the second paragraph probably means “ ”.
A. annoyed B. confused
C. embarrassed D. determined
【3】Why didn’t Ricky give the favour to the old gentleman himself?
A. He didn’t know the old gentleman.
B. He was too shy to speak to strangers.
C. He tried to influence others to be kind.
D. He feared the old man would refuse his help.
【4】What the author really thinks absolutely beautiful is that .
A. an act of kindness could go widespread
B. a cup of coffee could warm the old man
C. the server was very kind to customers
D. Ricky had created a good impression

26、阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
Anna Morrison was a single mother raising three little children, Joseph, Catherine, and Tom alone after her husband passed away. And Anna didn’t have much money as a cleaner.
Before Tom’s 6th birthday, Anna saved some money. She knew it wasn’t much, but she could at least treat her children to one proper meal on the special day. So on Tom’s birthday, Anna took her children to a local café. After reading the menu, she realized she could only afford one dish. The waitress had already brought them water and was waiting for their order, and Anna was too shy to leave. So she decided to buy something within her budget.
Finally, she settled on a plate of noodles and meatballs. When the dinner arrived, Tom cried, “Mom, one dish isn’t enough for the four of us. And I want a drink with my food,”“Yes, Mommy!” Catherine and Joseph cried together.
“I’m sorry,” Anna apologized. “For the time being, let’s have this. I promise to do better on your next birthday.” She then divided the foods among her children. As the kids finished their food, Catherine said, “Mommy, I’m still hungry. Can we get something else?” Tom added, “How about a cake? We can’t celebrate a birthday without a cake! Please, Mom! I’ll wash my hands and be right back! Then we can order it!” With that, Tom rushed to the washroom; Catherine and Joseph followed.
As the children left, Anna murmured in tears, “How do I tell them I don’t have any money on me?” Suddenly, she saw an old lady limped(一瘸一拐) towards her. This woman was dining nearby. She had heard Anna talking to the kids.
