四、阅读理解。〔人与社会——社会服务与人际沟通〕
Years ago, I was on a train ride into the city when I noticed a family getting on board. There were two little girls, their mum, and her friend, all of them with big bags. I thought they were going to be away for several days. One of the girls sat next to an older gentleman who started talking with her.
As the train ride went on, the little girl said that they were on their way to the children's hospital in the city, where her sister Hayley was receiving treatment. Without asking more about it, the man spoke with the girls on and off during the journey.
Towards the end of the ride, the man started writing something on a piece of paper. As the train stopped at his station, he walked over to the girls' mum and handed her a check(支票), saying, “That's for Hayley.” Then he got off the train before anyone had a chance to thank him.
The mum was confused(困惑的) at first. As she looked at the check, there was a smile of gratitude. She looked up, hoping to catch the man before he disappeared from view, but he was already gone.
The moment left a lasting impression on me. It reminded me that small acts of kindness can make a big difference in someone's day. It also made me wonder about the man's story and what led him to do this for strangers on a train.
1. What were the family on the train going to do?
A. To have a long holiday.
B. To go to a children's hospital.
C. To pick up a girl from school.
D. To visit a friend in the city.
2. What did the man do with the piece of paper?
A. He wrote down a thank-you note.
B. He wrote down his telephone number.
C. He filled out a check.
D. He wrote down a wish for Hayley.
3. How did the woman feel finally after seeing the paper?
A. Surprised. B. Angry. C. Thankful. D. Worried.
4. What did the experience teach the writer?
A. Strangers should not talk to each other on trains.
B. Children should be more careful on trains.
C. Stories of strangers are more impressive than others'.
D. Small acts of kindness can make a big difference.
