二．阅读回答案问题。

A

I shook hands with my father in the truck and for a long time he looked straight ahead and didn’t say a word. But I knew he was going to say a little to me. “I, can’t tell anything,” he finally said. “I never went to college, and none of your brothers went to college. I can’t say don’t do this and do that，because everything is different and I don’t know what is going to come up. I can’t help much with money either,but I think things will work out.”

He gave me a new check－book. “If things get pushing，write a small check. But when you write one，send me a letter and let me know how much. There are some things we can always sell.” In four years all the checks I wrote were less than a thousand dollars. My part－time jobs such as reading to the blind student and sitting with the teachers’ kids filled in the financial gaps.

“You know what you want to be，and they’ll tell you what to take,” my father went on. “When you get a job, be sure it’s honest, and work hard.” I knew that soon I would be alone in the big town, and I would be missing the cool winds and a life where your thinking was done for you.

Then my dad reached down beside his seat and brought the old, broken Bible that he had read so often, the one he used when he wanted to look something up in a friendly quarrel with one of the neighbours. I knew he would miss it. I knew, though, that I must take it.

He didn’t say I must read this every morning. He just said, “This can help you if you will let it.”

Did it help? I got through college without being a burden on the family. I have been able to make money since.

B

Claude and Louris are “giraffes”. So are police officers Hankins and Pearson. These men and women don’t look like giraffes; they look like you and me. Then, why do people call them “giraffes”?

A giraffe, they say, is an animal that sticks its necks out, can see places far away and has a large heart. It lives a quiet life and moves about in an easy and beautiful way. In the same way, a “giraffe” can be a person who likes to “stick his or her neck out” for other people, always watches for future happenings, has a warm heart for people around, and at the same time lives a quiet and beautiful life himself or herself.

“The Giraffe Project” is a 10－year－old group which finds and honors “giraffes” in the US and in the world. The group wants to teach people to do something to build a better world. The group members believe that a person shouldn’t draw his or her head back；instead，they tell people to “stick their necks out” and help others. Claude and Louris, Hankins and Pearson are only a few of the nearly 1,000 “giraffes” that the group found and honored.

Claude and Louris were getting old and they left their work with some money that they saved for future use. One day, however, they saw a homeless man looking for a place to keep warm and they decided that they should “stick their necks out” and give him some help. Today, they lived in Friends’ House，where they invite twelve homeless people to stay every night.

Police officers Hankins and Pearson work in a large city. They see crimes every day and their work is sometimes dangerous. They work hard for their money. However，these two men put their savings together and even borrowed money to start an educational center to teach young people in a poor part of the city. Hankins and Pearson are certainly “giraffes”.

( )5. Which of the following is TRUE?

A. Some of the people around us look like giraffes.

B. Giraffes are the most beautiful animal in the world.

C. “Giraffes” is a beautiful name for those who are ready to help other people.

D. A “giraffe” is someone who can stick his neck out and see the future.

( )6. “The Giraffe Project” is a group ________.

A. of police officers

B. which appeared ten years ago

C. of ten－year－old children

D. which takes care of children

( )7. People call Claude and Hankins “giraffes” because they ________.

A. do what is needed for a good world

B .are not afraid of dangerous work

C. found a home for some homeless people

D. made money only for other people

( )8. What does “The Giraffe Project” do?

A. It tells people how to live a quiet life.

B. It helps the homeless and teaches the young people.

C. It tries to find 1,000 warm－hearted people in the US.

D. It shows people what their duty is for a better world.
