Whenever the villagers had a problem, they would climb up the mountain and ask the old man for advice.One day a young man arrived. “Wise man,” he asked, “What makes a man truly great?”The old man said, “Do you sincerely want to know?”“Yes, yes!” the young man replied.“Well,” the wise old man said to him, “Let me tell you in the form of a story.”There was once a Greek man who suffered from a deadly disease. Knowing that he would die soon, he was the first to join the army when his country was in a battle with the enemy. Hoping to die in battle, he would fight in the front line, risking himself without any worry for his life. Finally they won the battle and he was still alive. His general (将军) was so impressed with his bravery which contributed much to the victory.The general decided to promote him and award him with medals of bravery and honor. On the day of presentation (授予仪式), he was looking very down and sad. Curiously, the general asked him why he was so sad on a day he should be so proud. The soldier told him of his deadly disease. “How could I let such a brave soldier die?” the general thought. So the general hired the best physician and finally cured the soldier. But from that day on, the once valiant soldier was no longer seen at the front. He would always avoid danger and tried his best to protect his life.“Young man,” the wise man said, “if you want to be truly great, you must not be afraid of dying, you must be daring.”29The reason why the young man went to see the old man was that .A. he enjoyed the scenery of the great mountainB. the old man was very good at telling storiesC. there was a difficult problem troubling himD. he was not sure who the greatest man was30The general decided to award the Greek man .A. after he realized the mans serious illnessB. because the man fought bravely in battleC. though he knew the man would die soonD. so that he could find the man a good doctor31The underlined word “valiant” is closest in meaning to .A. brave B. polite C. curious D. proud32What the old man really wanted the young man to do was .A. trying to be kind to the people in troubleB. mastering the skills of tellingC. joining the army to fight for his countryD. learning a lesson from the Greek manDMany years ago, I made a living by driving a car.

She took my arm and we walked slowly towards the car.She kept thanking me for my kindness.“Its nothing,” I told her, “I just try to treat my passengers in the way I would want my mother treated.” “Oh, youre such a good man,” she said. When we got into the taxi, she gave me an address, and then asked, “Could you drive through downtown?”“Its not the shortest way,” I answered quickly.“Oh, Im in no hurry,” she said.“Im on my way to a hospice(临终医院). I dont have any family left. The doctor says I dont have very long time.”I quietly reached over and shut off the meter(计价器).For the next two hours, we drove through the city. She showed me the building where she had once worked, the neighborhood where she had lived, and the furniture shop that had once been a ballroom where she had gone dancing as a girl.Sometimes shed ask me to slow down in front of a particular building and would sit staring into the darkness, saying nothing.At dawn, she suddenly said, “Im tired. Lets go now.”We drove in silence to the address she had given me. “How much do I owe you?”she asked.“Nothing,” I said. “You have to make a living,” she answered.“Oh, there are other passengers, ”I answered.Almost without thinking, I bent and gave her a hug. She held onto me tightly. Our hug ended with her remark, “You gave an old woman a little moment of joy.”33. The old woman chose to ride through the city in order to _.
