21、Compassion is a desire within us to help others. With effort, we can translate compassion into action. An experience last weekend showed me this is true. I work part-time in a supermarket across from a building for the elderly. These old people are our main customers, and it’s not hard to lose patience over their slowness. But last Sunday, one aged gentleman appeared to teach me a valuable lesson. This untidy man walked up to my register (收款机) with a box of biscuits. He said he was out of cash, had just moved into his room, and had nothing in his cupboards. He asked if we could let him have the food on trust. He promised to repay me the next day.
I couldn’t help staring at him. I wondered what kind of person he had been ten or twenty years before, and what he would be like if luck had gone his way. I had a hurt in my heart for this kind of human soul, all alone in the world. I told him that I was sorry, but store rules didn’t allow me to do so. I felt stupid and unkind saying this, but I valued my job.
Just then, another man, standing behind the first, spoke up. If anything, he looked more pitiable. “Charge it to me,” was all he said.
What I had been feeling was pity. Pity is soft and safe and easy. Compassion, on the other hand, is caring in action. I thanked the second man but told him that was not allowed either. Then I reached into my pocket and paid for the biscuits myself. I reached into my pocket because these two men had reached into my heart and taught me compassion.

22、An elderly man from a remote village deep in mountains became well-known nationwide for building a canal to bring water to local residents. The man, 85-year-old Huang Dafa, has lived his entire life in Caowangba village in Zunyi, Guizhou province.
For 36 years, he dedicated himself to one thing—leading villagers to create and then maintain a 9.4-kilometer-long “life canal" to bring fresh water to the village. With the irrigation channel in place, people in Caowangba finally had sufficient drinking water and could irrigate rice and other crops, boosting their incomes and improving their quality of life. The channel is named the “Dafa Canal” in Huang's honor.
Huang has been dubbed the modern “Yu Gong”, a figure in China's folklore. Like Yu Gong, his persistence also made the impossible possible. In 1959, Huang became a leader in the village. “I decided to do three things for the villagers: bring water to the village, build a road and provide access to electricity,” Huang said, recalling his early days. He found that a village near Caowangba had water to spare, but the problem was that a mountain lay between them. Nevertheless, he took on the task.
Things did not go well at first. After more than 10 years, water remained a pipe dream. Although some people said that Caowangba would never get access to water, Huang never lost hope. At the age of 53, he started to study water conservancy technology on his own. After three years, with his newfound knowledge and persistence, he raised money from the local government and had 200 people dig the canal. Their work paid off in 1995 when water finally rushed into Caowangba. The same year, the village gained access to electricity, and a new road was built. All three projects were overseen by Huang.
Huang's efforts won him the titles of “National Model Worker” and “Model of the Times” in 202l.
【1】Why did Huang Dafa become well-known nationwide?
A．Because he worked until 85-year-old and has lived his entire life in a remote village.
B．Because he built a canal to bring water to a remote village in the mountains.
C．Because he dedicated himself to his work of boosting the local economy.
D．Because he learnt water conservancy technology at the age of 53.
【2】What does the underlined word “dubbed” in Paragraph 3 probably mean?
A．Nicknamed.
B．Worshiped.
C．Teased.
D．Tricked.
【3】Which of the following is RIGHT according to the text?
A．Everyone was confident that water would come to the village one day.
B．The village gained access to electricity in 1995.
C．Huang started to dig the canal at the age of 53.
D．Huang raised money from the local villagers.
【4】Which of the following is the best title of the text?
A．A Heart of Learning Never Grows Old
B．A Remote Village Finally Gained Access to Electricity
C．A Desire for Knowledge Always Leads to Success
D．A Want for Water Leads to A Village's Prosperity
23、When we have a question about something deeply personal, many of us don’t turn to a parent or a friend, but to our computers: We ask google our questions.
As millions of us look for answers to questions, our searches produce a map of hopes, fears, and desires.
Seth Stephens-Davidowitz, a former data scientist at Google, analyzes the information we leave behind on search engines. He’s the author of the book Everybody Lies: Big Data, New Data, and What the Internet Can Tell Us About Who We Really Are.
“I think there’s something very comforting about that little white box where people feel very comfortable telling things that they may not tell anybody else about their health problems, their insecurities and so on. And using this data of search engines, we can learn a lot more about people than we’ve really ever known,” he said.
In this week’s radio show, Stephens-Davidowitz argues that these new forms of data are so valuable because they understand us better than we understand ourselves.
In the latter half of the show, we sit down with Kate Darling of MIT’s Media Lab and consider the following question.
“Are you real?”
The host who greets him looks and sounds 100 percent human. But is she?
“Well, if you can’t tell,” she asks William, “does it matter?”
If you can’t tell, does it matter?
People have been wrestling with this question since the arrival of robotics. What would it mean to have machines that are essentially just like us? Will robots ever become fully conscious beings? And could they one day make us, their creators, out-of-date?
This has been rich material for science fiction writers for years. But our fascination with robot may be leading us to overlook a deeper question: Could robots fundamentally change the way humans engage not with robots, but with other humans?
【1】How do people deal with something private?
A．They ask friends for help.
B．They keep it to themselves.
C．They turn to search engines.
D．They analyze it with parents.
【2】What does the underlined phrase “that little white box” in paragraph 4 refer to?
A．A map.
B．The smart phone.
C．A book.
D．The search engine.
【3】Why are the new forms of data important?
A．They are the source of science fiction.
B．They reshape the way we see ourselves.
C．They lead us to question our existence.
D．They set people thinking about self-worth.
【4】What would be the best title for the text?
A．Our Changing Relationships with Artificial Intelligence
B．Our Growing Fascination with Robots
C．Our Growing Awareness of Self-identity
D．Our Changing Attitudes towards Search Engines

25、On my way home, I saw a poor old man selling soaps. I was moved by his condition—perhaps he was the only one _______ his family? But I soon shook off the _______ —there’s nothing I can really do for him.
Just then, a lady went up and bought every bar of soap he was carrying. The old man’s eyes lit up and he left happily.
The woman, on the other hand, crossed the road and _______ the bag full of soaps on the street with a sign saying “For Free”. Then she boarded the same bus as I did and took the seat next to mine. The curious incident _______ me so I couldn’t help but ask her about the strange act.
“Excuse me, may I ask why you did that near the bus stop?” I said.
“Oh, I walk this road every day and noticed this man many times. I tried to offer him some money but he _______ . He said he wanted to earn it through hard work and not _______ . He’s a very honest man. He was content with whatever he earned for the day. So I bought all his soap bars to help him in a way that _______ his dignity. I left them on the road in order that those who need them can _______ themselves.”
I reached home feeling a lightness and hope that humanity is not _______ after all. A little ________ and a little kindness are often worth more than a great deal of money.
