一、阅读理解

The owner of the gas station near my house posts daily inspirational quotes (引说）on a board, such as: \

Most of the quotes are thoughtful ,but one quote was,for me, an entirely new thought: \

Is the quote suggesting we should be that kind of person we needed when we were young-for ourselves? Or that we should do it for our children and grandchildren and other young people we meet?

Maybe we should do it for all of us, both young and old ? Why would I choose to give so much thought to a quote from a gas station board? Sometimes when my train of thought leaves the station,I just have to jump on board and see where it takes me. I've been riding this train for days, thinking about a person I needed when I was young.

My mother worked at a factory.One day when I was 12, I came home from school and found her drinking iced tea with the prettiest lady I had ever seen . \woman, cupping my face in her hands.

Her name was May, and she smiled a lot.

She was my mother's friend,but she became my role model, a friend whose advice I could always trust.

I soon began spending as much time as possibly could with May.I told her everything: my hopes and fears and especially all the things I didn't know.

I watched how she listened and encouraged and never spoke ill of anyone,even if they deserved it.How she was always kind to everyone ! She was a wise woman of faith and grace.

I wanted to be like her.

………线…………○………… When I was 12 years old, I already knew that my teen years were going to be the worst years of my life. I was a total outsider, bullied (欺凌) at school. I felt completely alone in my small town.

But by starting to do volunteer work when I was 14, I turned my problem into a passion for helping others. The opportunity to practice kindness made me feel like my life had a greater purpose. The more positive energy I shared, the more kindness and appreciation I received. I realized that my purpose in life would be to reach out to people, specifically teenagers, and help them feel less alone.

Books were my true friends back then. I was so thankful that the authors wrote those books. The kindness they offered me with their books saved my life. One of my biggest dreams was to become an author so I could write books that would help other teenagers the way those books helped me.

After surviving terrible experiences at school and at home, I made a choice to take the optimistic, positive road in the next steps of my journey. My dream career, one I thought was only possible for the authors I loved, is what I am doing now. I have been a full-time author of teen novels since 2007 and am grateful for this amazing opportunity to reach out to readers every single day.

Kindness saved me when I needed help the most. Even small acts of kindness can change someone’s life. You never know what someone else is going through. But by practicing daily kindness, you become an architect of positive change. 8．What was the author’s life like when he was 12? A．Boring.

B．Peaceful.

C．Unhappy.

D．Meaningful.

9．How did the volunteer work benefit the author? A．It made him popular in his town.
