My face turned red. The next class, I noticed he was making a tiger. He saw me looking at him and he glared at me and said,“ Are you planning to tell me how to do this, too?” I didn't know what to say.

One person was killed, several were badly hurt and taken to hospital, and a number of other people received smaller hurt. Altogether (总共) over two hundred people were homeless after the storm. A farmer, Mr. Tan, said that the storm began early in the morning and lasted for over an hour. “I was eating with my wife and children,” he said, “when we heard a loud noise. A few minutes later our house fell down on top of us. We tried our best to climb out but then I saw that one of my children was missing. I went back inside and found him safe but very frightened.” Mrs. Woo Mei Fong said that her husband had just left for work when she felt that her house was moving.

He told him his story angrily. “He is really bad,” the boy said, “and I hate him.” The grandfather said, “Let me tell you a story. When I was a boy, I, too, sometimes hated others for what they did…” As the boy listened carefully, the grandfather went on, “There are always two tigers inside my heart. One is good and kind. He gets on well with everything around him. But the other is bad and unfriendly. Even the smallest thing will make him angry. He fights with everyone all the time, and for no reason. He can’t think carefully because he always hates others. It is difficult to live with these two tigers inside my heart. They both try to control me.” The boy looked into his grandfather’s eyes and asked, “Which tiger always controls you, Grandfather?” The old man said slowly and seriously, “The one that I feed.

As we walked towards the entrance to the restaurant, a man, with a messy beard and dirty hair, jumped up from a bench outside the restaurant and opened the door for us and greeted us in a friendly way. When we went inside，my daughters whispered, “Mom，he smells.” After we ordered our lunch，I explained，telling the kids to look beyond the dirt. We then watched other customers approach the restaurant but many ignored him. Seeing this rudeness truly upset me. The day I became a mother，I had determined（决定）to set a good example to my children. Yet sometimes when things didn’t go right，being a good example wasn’t easy sometimes. When our meal arrived，I realized I had left my purse in the car. So I went to get it. Just then，the “doorman” was opening the door for a couple. They rushed past him without even looking at him. Letting them in first，I said a loud “thank you” to him as I came out. When I returned, we talked a bit. He said he was not allowed inside unless he ordered some food. I went back to my seat and asked our waitress to add one soup and a sandwich. The kids looked puzzled as we had already eaten, but when I said the order was for the “doorman”, they smiled. When it was time to continue our trip, I found the “doorman” enjoying his meal. Upon seeing me, he stood up and thanked me heartily. Then he reached out his hand for a handshake and I gratefully accepted. I suddenly noticed the tears in his eyes—tears of gratitude. What happened next drew great astonishment（惊讶）：I gave the “doorman” a hug. He pulled away, with tears rolling down his face. Back into our car, I fell into deep thought. While we can’t choose many things in life, we can choose when to show gratitude. I said thanks to a man who had simply opened a door for me, and also said thanks for that opportunity to teach my children by example. ( )71. What did the author do when her daughters keep away from the“doorman”smells? A. She helped her daughters keep away from the “doorman”. B. She told her daughters to buy something for him. C. She told them not to judge a person by his appearance. D. She felt upset and shouted to her daughters. ( )72. The underlined word “ignore” probably means____. A. said “Thank you” to B. paid no attention to C. get angry with D. said hello to ( )73. Why did the author say a loud “Thank you” to the “doorman”? A. She wanted to draw the couple’s attention and made them realize something. B. She wanted to tell him he should let ladies first. C. The doorman was old and didn’t have a good hearing. D. She wanted to let her daughter know she would be back soon. ( )74. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage? A. The doorman was warm-hearted and he always helped others. B. The children were unhappy when their mom ordered one soup and a sandwich again. C. The author set a good example to her children on showing gratitude. D. The doorman wasn’t allowed to go into the restaurant because he had a messy beard. ( )75. Which’s the main idea of this passage? A. A trip to California B. Give a hand to those in need C.
