课时作业(五)　UNIT 4　NATURAL DISASTERS 一、阅读理解 (2022·浙江高考模拟卷)“There's our guide，” I said to the bus driver, pointing at a woman I'd never seen before. The driver stopped and opened the door for me to step off. “You must be Becky，” she said. “My name is Anne.” As tour director for the group of forty­three, I quickly confirmed with Anne the sites we would like to see during the next four hours. Then we climbed aboard to begin our tour of Washington, D.C. After introducing Anne to the tourists, I handed the microphone to her and made my way toward the last seat. Conversation with a guide usually ended there. But on that day, we managed a brief chat in the shade of an elm tree along the National Mall. I was amazed to discover that we were both born in Ohio and that my doctor, Kiefhaber, was her dad. My parents had told me the story all my life. I was born with my left leg turned inward (向内的). Right away, a doctor placed a cast (石膏)from my hip to my tiny toes. He monitored my progress closely. Thankfully, my leg straightened out and grew strong. By ten months, I was cast­free and taking my first steps. Amidst the joy, however, my parents feared the final bill for the months of treatment. They already struggled to make ends meet. How would they ever afford the specialist's charges for that length of treatment? When the envelope arrived, Dad took a deep breath, opened it, and stared at the amount due. Surely, it was a mistake. The bill said they owed only twenty dollars. The doctor who showed such great kindness to my family was Anne's dad. I don't believe those few surprising moments under the elm tree were just a coincidence. Anne needed to hear the wonderful story about her dad. Anne and I are now friends, with a connection that goes beyond our hometown. We are connected by kindness—Kiefhaber kindness—which touched my family long ago and inspires me yet today.
