I just returned from a trip to New Jersey. On the way back, I was stopped by a traffic accident. This accident involved a truck carrying a lot of dangerous materials that were leaking out (外漏) .

This meant that we weren't going anywhere for several hours.

After being told by the policeman that we would be sitting there until the cleanup was completed, I got out of the truck to have a rest. Other truck drivers did the same. At one point there were five of us standing by my truck, 75 .

Another truck with two elderly people inside stopped near us. The man, Joe, let the 76 down and asked why no one was moving.

Soon we were all talking with this couple. I said that if I had known about this. I would have bought something to drink, for I was becoming 77 . The lady, Anna, said that they had plenty of water in the cooler in their truck and offered everyone something to drink. While she was back there, she said that she also had plenty of food and she could make sandwiches for us. While Anna was making the sandwiches, she was singing like a songbird. Being close to 70, I guessed, she had a remarkable voice.

When she finished making the sandwiches, I saw a Mississippi license(执照) plate on the truck. I asked what part of Mississippi they were from. Joe said Biloxi. Knowing that Biloxi had been 78 by Hurricane Katrina(卡特里娜飓风),I asked him about the disaster. Joe said that they had almost lost everything. Everything they had was in the truck.

All of us drivers tried unsuccessfully to pay them for their drinks and sandwiches. Joe said that their son was living around Harrisonburg. Virginia and they were going there. There was a home for sale and they were going to start all over there. Starting over 79 , we know, would not be easy. These people lost everything except the pictures and some clothes. These wonderful people lost practically everything they owned and still would not accept any money for their food and drinks. Joe said that it was better to give than to 80 . ( )75. A) complaining B) explaining C) describing D) proving ( )76. A) door B) button C) window D)hand ( )77. A) tired B) thirsty C) hungry D) sleepy ( )78. A) caused B) recycled C) covered D) damaged

Fifteen years ago, an incident that happened at Walt Disney touched me greatly. A guest checking out of our Polynesian Village resort at Walt Disney was asked how she e (81) her visit. She told the front-desk clerk she had had a wonderful vacation, but was heartbroken about losing several rolls of Kodak color film she had not yet developed(冲洗). At that moment she was particularly s_________(82) over the loss of the pictures she had taken at the show, as this was a memory she especially treasured.

In fact, there are no written rules covering lost photos in the park. L (83), the clerk at the front desk understood Disney's idea of loving our guests. She asked the woman to leave her a couple rolls of unused film, and then she p (84) to take some photos for them. Two weeks later the guest received a packet at her home. In it were photos of all the actors of the show, personally signed by each performer. There were also pictures of the public procession(游行队伍) and fireworks in the park. These photos were taken by the clerk in her own time after work. I happened to

know this s________(85) because this guest wrote us a letter to express her thanks.

Excellent s (86) does not come from policy(政策性的) handbooks. It comes from people who c (87) -- and from a culture that encourages and models that attitude.

D．Answer the questions（根据短文内容回答下列问题）（12分）

As a mother of three young girls, Alison Cowan worried about her daughters growing up too fast. From asking for the latest toy to wanting to wear make-up, it seemed to Alison and her husband, Alan, that their children were never satisfied with what they had.

The girls would ask for a toy, but would lose interest in it as soon as their friends had something new. Birthday parties were no longer just a few party games and blowing up balloons. All the parents seemed to invite professional performers and compete over who could give the most expensive party bag. At just seven years old, Amy and her friends were paying more and more attention to their appearance. It was a feeling that many parents would have.

However, few would dream of leaving a comfortable family life and a comfortable house to move their family 3,000 miles away to Africa in search of a simpler life. But, last June, Alison and her husband, Alan, moved with their daughters to Kampala in Uganda, to show them a different lifestyle.

For almost a year, the girls play in the red, dusty streets with local children and visit markets to buy fresh fish and vegetables for dinner. They have been able to play and use their imagination away from the distractions(分心) of the consumer-driven society. Now, instead of competing over who has won a computer game, the girls think about things like the frequent water shortages and electricity cuts in certain areas. \times, we've been without water for five days. The girls always accept it, though. Their world before had been so small, but now they understand _________93__________.
