I persuaded my boss to let me do the story on TV.After my story was broadcast, a doctor and a nurse called, offering to perform. the surgery for free.
I visited the boy in the recovery room after the operation.The first thing he did was hold up his repaired hand and say, ―Thank you.‖ I was overjoyed and filled with a strong sense of reward.

| When I was growing up, I was embarrassed to be seen with my father. He was badly crippled (跛脚), and when we would walk together, his hand on my arm for balance, people would stare, I would be ashamed of the unwanted attention. If ever noticed or bothered, he never let on. It was difficult to walk together—and because of that, we didn’t say much as we went along. But as we started out, he always said, “You set the pace. I will try to follow you.” Our usual walk was to or from the subway, which was how he got to work. He went to work sick, and even in bad weather. He almost never missed a day, and would make it to the office even if others could not. It was a matter of pride for him. When snow or ice was on the ground, it was impossible for him to walk, even with help... Such times my sister or I would pull him through the streets of Brooklyn, N.Y., on a child’s sleigh to the subway entrance. Once there, he would try to grasp handrail until he reached the lower steps that the warmer tunnel air kept ice free. In Manhattan the subway station was the basement of his office building, and he would not have to go outside again until we met him in Brooklyn on his way home. When I think of it now, I am surprised at how much courage it must have taken for a grown man to suffer from shame and disability. And I am also surprised at how he did it—without bitterness or complaint. He never talked about himself as an object of pity, not did he show any envy of the more fortunate or able. What he looked for in others was a “good heart”, and if he found one, the owner was good enough for him. Now that I am older, I believe that is a proper standard by which to judge people, even though I still don’t know exactly what a “good heart” is. But I know the times I don’t have one myself. He has been away for many years now, but I think of him often. I wonder if he sensed my reluctance to be seen with him during our walks. If he did, I am sorry I never told him how sorry I was, how unworthy I was, how I regretted it. I think of him when I complain about my troubles, when I am envious of another’s good fortune, when I don’t have a “good heart”. 小题1:How did the man treat his father when he was young？

2 In an article on the new manners, Ms. Holmes says that a perfectly able woman no longer has to act helplessly in public as if she were a model. For example, she doesn't need help getting in and out of cars. "Women get in and out of cars twenty times a day with babies and dogs. Surely they can get out by themselves at night just as easily."
3 She also says there is no reason why a man should walk on the outside of a woman on the sidewalk. "Historically, the man walked on the inside so he caught the garbage thrown out of a window. Today a man is supposed to walk on the outside. A man should walk where he wants to. So should a woman. If, out of love and respect, he actually wants to take the blows, he should walk on the inside — because that's where attackers are all hiding these days."
4 As far as manners are concerned, I suppose I have always been a supporter of women's liberation. Over the years, out of a sense of respect, I imagine, I have refused to trouble women with outdated courtesies.
5 It is usually easier to follow rules of social behaviour than to depend on one's own taste. But rules may be safely broken, of course, by those of us with the gift of natural grace. For example, a woman is expected to sit in the chair. That is according to Ms. Ann Clark. I have always done it the other way, according to my wife.
6 It came up only the other night. I followed the hostess to the table, and when she pulled the chair out I sat on it, quite naturally, since it happened to be the chair I wanted to sit in.
7 "Well," my wife said, when the hostess had gone, "you did it again."
8 "Did what？" I asked, utterly confused.
9 "Took the chair."
10 Actually, since I'd walked through the restaurant ahead of my wife, it would have been awkward, I should think, not to have taken the chair. I had got there first, after all.
11 Also, it has always been my custom to get in a car first, and let the woman get in by herself. This is a courtesy I insist on as the stronger sex, out of love and respect. In times like these, there might be attackers hidden about. It would be unsuitable to put a woman in a car and then shut the door on her, leaving her at the mercy of some bad fellow who might be hiding in the back seat.
It can be concluded from the passage that______.
A．men should walk on the inside of a sidewalk.
B．women are becoming more capable than before.
C．in women's liberation men are also liberated.
D．it's safe to break rules of social behaviour.

Middle age has its compensations. Youth is bound hand and foot with the shackles of public opinion. Middle age enjoys freedom.I remember that when i left the school i said to myself: __1__"Hence forward. I can get up when i like and go to bed when i like." That of course was an exaggeration, and i soon found that whenever you have an aim you must sacrifice something of freedom to achieve it. But by the time you have reached middle age you discovered how __2__much freedom it was worth to sacrifice in order to achieve any aim that __3__you have on view. When i was a boy i was tortured by shyness, __4__and middle age has to a great extent brought me a relief of this. I __5__have now no such feeling and i save myself much discomfort. I always hated cold water, but for many years i bath in cold seas because __6__i wanted to be like everybody. __7__It was until quite late in life that i discovered how easy it was __8__to say:"i don't know." i find with middle age no one expects me to walk twenty-five miles, or to play a scratch game of golf, or to dive from a height of thirty feet. This is all to the good and makes life pleasant, but i should no longer care if they do. That is what makes __9__youth unhappy, the vehement anxiety to be like other people, and that is what makes middle age intolerable, the reconciliation with __10__oneself.

Both Matti Dog and Yellow Dog were strays of unknown history.They both showed signs, curling up at sharp voices and fast movement, of having been beaten in their past homes.We got Matti Dog at the pound (走失家畜认领栏), where she was known as Lady.Yellow Dog appeared while my wife and son were traveling in Utah.
In spite of their backgrounds they are simply wonderful dogs.Both stay at home, without requiring a chain, or fence.We don’t need a leash(皮带)on our walks, they stay close to me, and come immediately when I whistle.If I ask them to sit, they do and they stay until released.Yellow Dog does tend to find and carry dead animals on our walk — but hey he is a dog…
Training Matti Dog and Yellow Dog to behave this well took love and 3-4 weeks of daily half-hour exercises of basic obedience(服从).Not much effort but apparently more than many are willing to give.
On this 3-mile walk, we pass about 8 other houses and 15 other dogs.Folks in my neighborhood like dogs! But what is troubling is that 6 of these dogs appear to be chained all the time.I don’t monitor this, but I have walked by at various times of the day and they were always chained.
These poor dogs are castoffs(被抛弃的狗), perhaps a Christmas present now ignored, or maybe they just behave so “badly” that their humans gave up.What does it say about owners that they can’t spend 2-4 weeks half an hour daily to teach their dog how to behave in a way that permits the dog freedom and that helps that dog be a better companion？
I do know some of these folks.They seem decent enough, but here for all passers to see is the failure of their relationship with man’s best friend.
Your dog is a great billboard.The advertisement is about you.
1.What do we know about the two dogs？()
A.They behave badly at home
B.They were Christmas presents
C.They are dirty and ill

C.like to attack people
D.behave badly
4.The writer believes the owners of those poor dogs _____.
A.are poor people
B.don’t know how to train dogs
C.don’t really love their dogs
D.are too busy to care for dogs
