In a room at Texas Children Cancer Center in Houston, eight-year-old Simran Jatar lay in bed with a drip (点滴) above her to fight her bone cancer. Over her bald head, she wore a pink hat that matched her clothes. But the third grader's cheery dressing didn't mask her pain and weary eyes.
Then a visitor showed up. “Do you want to write a song?” asked Anita Kruse, 49, rolling a cart equipped with an electronic keyboard, a microphone and speakers. Simran stared. “Have you ever written a poem?” Anita Kruse continued. “Well, yes,” Simran said.
Within minutes, Simran was reading her poem into the microphone “Some bird soaring through the sky,” she said softly. “Imagination in its head...” Anita Kruse added piano music, a few warbling (鸣,唱) birds, and finally the girl's voice. Thirty minutes later, she presented Simran with a CD of her first recorded song.
That was the beginning of Anita Kruse's project, Purple Songs Can Fly, one that has helped more than 125 young patients write and record songs. As a composer and pianist who had performed at the hospital, Kruse said that the idea of how she could help “came in one flash”.
The effect on the kids has been great. One teenage girl, curling (蜷缩) in pain in her wheelchair, stood unaided to dance to a hip-hop song she had written. A 12-year-old boy with Hodgkin's disease who rarely spoke surprised his doctors with a song he called I Can Make It.
“My time with the kids is heartbreaking because of the severity of their illnesses,” says Anita Kruse. “But they also make you happy, when the children are smiling, excited to share their CD with their families.”
Simran is now an active sixth grader and cancer-free. From time to time, she and her mother listen to her song, Always Remembering, and they always remember the “really sweet and nice and loving” lady who gave them a shining moment in the dark hour.

(2015·河南开封市高三模拟)
My wife and I have always been friendly with the clerks at the local convenience store. I don't think many people appreciate what a difficult job these folks have. They work for a little over minimum wage and I often wonder how they make ends meet.
One of the clerks, Charlie, was always wearing his glasses but he didn't one day. I asked him about it and he said they'd been out of order and that he couldn't afford a new pair. His family needed money. It was obvious that he was having a difficult time.
We wanted to help him, so we turned to our own eye doctor for assistance with a plan. We had his secretary contact him, asking him to come in for an eye exam for free. We told the doctor to let him order whatever glasses he wanted and that we would pay for them. Although Charlie questioned what was going on, the doctor just told him that someone had offered the money for his new glasses. When we went in to pay the bill, the doctor told us he was so touched by our idea that he waived the exam fee and only charged us for half the price of the glasses!
It was so wonderful to see Charlie in his new glasses and he enjoyed telling all the regular customers how the gift came about. I'm sure that upon hearing his story, ideas of kindness may have emerged in the minds of many.
语篇解读:本文是关于爱的故事。作者夫妇发现百货店的员工Charlie的眼镜坏了,因为没钱而无法配眼镜,作者夫妇悄悄为他配上了新眼镜,这种爱感动了Charlie,而他也在传播着这份爱。送人玫瑰,手有余香。
5.Why didn't the clerk Charlie wear glasses one day?
A.It was very warm and fine.
B.His old glasses were broken.
C.His glasses were missing.
D.He forgot to wear his glasses.
答案:B 细节理解题。 根据题干关键词“the clerk Charlie wear glasses one day”找到文章第二段的“he said they'd been out of order and that he couldn't afford a new pair”与B项对应。故选B。
6.From the passage, we can infer that ________.
A.Charlie was a young man with skills
B.Charlie knew who paid the money for the new glasses
C.Charlie didn't support his family with enough money
D.Charlie entirely accepted the money for the new glasses
答案:C 判断推理题。 根据文章第二段第三句的“His family needed money. It was obvious that he was having a difficult time”推断是Charlie没有足够的钱养活家人。故选C。
7.The underlined word “waived” in the third paragraph can be replaced by ________.
A.gave up B.took up
C.cut down D.put off
答案:A 词义猜测题。gave up“放弃”;took up“开始做某事,从事”;cut down“砍下,缩减”;put off“推迟”。根据文章第三段最后一句话中的“the exam fee and only charged us for half the price of the glasses和前文的the doctor was touched by our idea”推断应是医生被作者夫妇的主意所感动,免去了检查费并且眼镜的价格只收一半。故选A。
8.Which of the following could be the best title for the passage?
A.The Wonderful Feeling of Helping others
B.Customers' Gift to an Employee
C.A Friendly Clerk—Charlie
D.A New Pair of Glasses
答案:B 主旨大意题。The Wonderful Feeling of Helping others“帮助别人的美妙感觉”;Customers' Gift to an Employee“顾客给雇工的礼物”;A Friendly Clerk—Charlie“一个友好的员工—Charlie”;A New Pair of Glasses“一副新眼镜”。通读全文,并根据文章最后一段中的关键词gift判断选B。
