英语试题 07-16
On a Saturday evening , I was waiting for my train and on the subway station's floor was a man just sitting there. I looked around and nobody stopped so I just went my way. After a few steps, I turned and asked him whether he needed help. He told me his house was one station further and he would only need to take the train there. So I reached for his hand to help him stand up.
He wanted to take the stairs but I feared that he would hurt himself since he seemed too weak to walk, so I asked him to take the elevator. Even though my mind was trying to turn the danger lights on, I put the thought that I should not go alone with a drunken man out of my mind and accompanied him on the elevator.
We arrived on the platform with no incidents. The man's knees seemed to soften, so I asked him to rest on a bench. While sitting there, he thanked me, telling me that I saved him. No, I said, I really did nothing; he saved himself as he walked on his own feet.
At the next station, we said our goodbyes. Before I knew it, he left 100 dollars and dashed out of the train. There was no way to give him back his money. I wanted to leave it on the seat, but a young woman who thought it belonged to me ran after me and gave me the note.
My initial reaction to getting that money was of shame and I even felt offended. Then I thought he just wanted to thank me, the best way he knew how. Now, my question is — what act of kindness shall I do with these 100 dollars?
8. Why was the man sitting on the subway station's floor?
A. Because he wanted to go home. B. Because he was seriously ill.
C. Because he was waiting for the train. D. Because he was drunk.
9. Seeing the money left by the man, the author first felt ________.
A. ashamed B. grateful
C. delighted D. frustrated
10. How will the author possibly deal with the money?
A. Give it back. B. Buy something favorable.
C. Give it to people in need. D. Leave it on the seat.
11. What can we infer from the passage?
A. I helped the man the moment I saw him.
B. I thought it unsafe to go alone with the drunken man at first.
C. I accompanied the man to take the stairs.
D. A young woman ran after me and gave me the note.
