I was standing in the checkout line behi...

I was standing in the checkout line behind a woman who looked to be in her 60s. When it was her turn to pay, the cashier greeted her by name and asked her how she was doing.

The woman looked down, shook her head and said,“Not so good. My husband just lost his job and my son is up to his old tricks again. The truth is, l don't know how I’m going to get through the holidays.”

Then she gave the cashier food stamps (食品券).

My heart ached. I wanted to help but didn’t know how. Should I offer to pay for her groceries, ask for her husband’s resume?

As I walked into the parking lot, I spotted the woman returning her shopping cart. I remembered something in my purse that I thought could help her. It wasn't a handful of cash or an offer of a job for her husband, but maybe it would make her life better.    My heart pounded (狂跳) as I approached the woman.

“Excuse me,” I said, my voice trembling a bit, “I couldn’t help overhearing what you said to the cashier. It sounds like you’re going through a really hard time right now. I’m so sorry. I’d like to give you something.”

I handed her the small card from my purse.

When the woman read the card’s only two words, she began to cry. And through her tears, she said, “You have no idea how much this means to me.”

I was a little startled by her reply. Having never done anything like this before, I didn’t know what kind of reaction I might receive. All I could think to say was, “Oh my. Would it  be OK to give you a hug?”

After we embraced, I walked back to my car-and began to cry too.

The words on the card?

“You Matter.”

A few weeks earlier, a colleague gave me a similar card as encouragement for a project I was working on. When I read the card, I felt a warm glow spread inside of me. Deeply touched, I came home and ordered my own box of You Matter cards and started sharing them.

1.Which of the following is TRUE according to the first three paragraphs?

A. The woman and her family were having a tough lime.

B. The cashier helped the woman by giving her some food for free.

C. The woman’s family mainly depends on her son.

2.The woman cried when she got the card, probably because         .

1.A 2.C 3.D 4.B 【解析】本文讲述了作者在超市排队结账时,无意间听到了一位老太太对生活艰难的描述。他没有想到一张写着”你才是最重要的”小卡片就能给生活艰难的人极大的鼓励,作者深受感动并定制了一盒子这样的卡片,要与其他人分享这种鼓舞。 1.考查细节理解。根据第二段老太太的话语 “Not so good. My husband just lost his job and my son is up to his old tricks again. The truth is, l don't know how I’m going to get through the holidays.”得知丈夫刚失业,儿子又老耍花招,都不知道这个家该如何度过这个节日。可以推断出老太太的家里正在度过一段艰难的时期。故选A。 2.考查推理判断。根据第八段When the woman read the card’s only two words, she began to cry. And through her tears, she said, “You have no idea how much this means to me.” 以及最后一段A few weeks earlier, a colleague gave me a similar card as encouragement for a project I was working on.得知老太太得到作者的帮助时感动的泪流下泪水。并且说您不知道这对我来说多重要。可以推断出老太太深受鼓舞。故选C。 3.考查词义猜测。根据划线段落 I was a little startled by her reply. Having never done anything like this before, I didn’t know what kind of reaction I might receive.得知作者以前没有遇到过这种事情,都不知道如何来回应老太太,可以推断出作者对老太太的话感到吃惊。故选D。 4.考查推理判断。根据作者在停车场遇到老太太并给予她帮助,可以得知作者是一个心地善良的人。故选B。
