One day I walked down to get to my car, think...

One day I walked down to get to my car, thinking about what I had to accomplish and scolding myself for being late for work, but surprisingly the car was nowhere to be found.

This was at 8 a.m. in the morning. I made trips to all the towing places and police stations, all the time thinking that it was towed (拖走）by cops (巡警).By around 10 a.m., the cops decided that it was actually stolen. After filing a report with them, I finally got to work thinking how my day was completely messed up.

Later in the day I went to pick up a rental car at Enterprise only to realize that my license was missing, too, along with my car. I told the enterprise guy the whole story and he offered to take me to the closest DMV and get a duplicate (副本) license. 1 was totally shocked. I did not know why this complete stranger would want to take some time off his day to help me. He actually took me to DMV, got a duplicate and then rented me a car. I was upset the whole day because of the events happening to me but somehow this simple act of kindness from a complete stranger made it all worth it. It cheered me up and made me forget all the troubles of the day. I was so moved by this kind act that the next day I made sure someone else got a similar surprise. I took some smiley shaped chocolates and left them on some of my colleagues’ desks.

There is still a lot of goodness out there in the world. We just need to take the time to notice it. I hope that this story would inspire many others like me to do more acts of kindness.

1.The moment the author found the car missing, he thought ______.

A. it was stolen by a stranger     B. it was towed by the police

C. he placed it in a wrong place          D. he should rent another one

2.We can infer that DMV is ______.

C. a renting place      D. a parking lot

高三英语短对话简单题查看答案及解析

When I was about 10, I was walking down the street with my mother. She stopped to speak to Mr Lee. I knew I could see Mr Lee anytime around the neighborhood, so I just stood there. After we passed him, my mother stopped and said something unforgettable, "You let that be the last time you ever walk by somebody you know without opening your mouth to speak, because even a dog can wag its tail when it passes you on the street." That sentence sounds simple but it made me become who I am.

At work, I used to say hello to the president of the company and ask him how our business was doing. But I also spoke to the people in the cafe? and people who cleaned the buildings, and asked them how their children were doing, for every single person deserves to be accepted, no mater how humble they are. I remember that after a few years of passing by the president, I had the courage to ask him for a chat. We had a great talk. At some point, when I asked him how far he thought I could go in his company, he said that if I wanted to, I could get all the way to his seat.

I've become vice-president, but that hasn't changed how I treat people. I speak to people wherever I am. Speaking to people creates a pathway into their world, and it lets them come into mine, too.

The day you speak to someone who has his head down and then see him lift it up and smile, you will realize how powerful it is just to open your mouth and say hello.

1.What can we learn from the second paragraph?

A. The writer didn’t say hello to anyone in the company.

B. The president of the company actually didn’t like the writer at all.

C. The writer made a very good impression on the president of the company.

D. The president of the company thought the writer was much better than him.

2.For the writer，saying hello to others____________.

A. is a way to get what he wants

B. has become a habit and a way of life

C. is a way to show respect for his mother

D. is important in making him remembered

3.The underlined sentence suggests that speaking to others can____________.

A. make our world much better

B. help people work much better

C. make people much happier every day

D. help people understand each other better

4.What is the best title for this passage?

A. The influence of the unforgettable experience

B. The power of being talkative

C. The power of saying hello

D. The road to success
