When I worked in a large city, passing by someone experiencing homelessness wasn’t an uncommon sight. The difficult situation of those I saw touched me        , and I often felt, “I would be one of them         the kindness of God.”
I felt forced to do something, and as a single mom and newcomer to my field, I decided to  __     a plan that fit my limited budget. I began by         five to ten dollar bills each payday, and during the week, passing         out to those I met on the street.
Though a dollar felt like a small        , I realized how       _ it was to give the gift of being seen: for me to recognize that those I passed by were people just like me.         we would joke a bit and smile together. On some occasions, I was able to         more. I’ll never know how and if the dollars        , but I know that the connections we made did.
One day after I had started this weekly practice, I had         enough to buy myself a new winter coat. With my recent purchase wrapped around my shoulders, I         that my old coat could still be put to use by someone who had little or nothing to         them from the cold. However, at that moment, I felt inspired to pass on this opportunity for        . I turned to the salesman who had helped me, and asked if he would feel         taking my old coat, walking to the corner, and offering it to someone        . Slightly taken aback, he smiled. “I will as soon as I get a break,” he said. “Thanks for your        .”
I can’t help but feel that my         with kindness have moved me to pass it on, and in this way, I feel I’ve helped more than just those I         by on the street. Kindness touches many hearts, and I am grateful for the way it has         mine.

Our house was directly across the street from the clinic entrance of John Hopkins Hospital in Baltimore. We lived downstairs and rented the upstairs rooms to the patients at the clinic.
One evening as I was fixing supper, there was a knock at the door. I opened it to see a truly awful looking man. He’s hardly taller than my eight-year-old son. “Good evening. I’ve come to see if you’ve a room. I came for a treatment this morning from the eastern shore, and there’s no bus till morning.” He told me he’d been hunting for a room since noon but with no success. “I guess it’s my face... I know it looks terrible, but my doctor says with a few more treatments...” For a moment I hesitated, but his next words convinced me: “I could sleep in this chair on the porch. My bus leaves early in the morning.”
I told him we would find him a bed. When I had finished the dishes, I talked with him. He told me he fished for a living to support his five children, and his wife, who was hopelessly crippled（残疾的）from a back injury. He didn’t tell it by way of complaint. Next morning, just before he left, as if asking a great favor, he said, “Could I come back and stay the next time?” He added, “Your children made me feel at home. ”
On his next trip he arrived a little after seven in the morning. As a gift, he brought a big fish and the largest oysters（牡蛎）I had ever seen. I knew his bus left at 4:00 a. m. and I wondered what time he had to get up in order to do this for us.
In the years he came to stay overnight with us and there was never a time that he did not bring us vegetables from his garden. I know our family always will be grateful to have known him; from him we learned how to accept the bad without complaint when facing the misfortune.
Why did the author agree to let the man spend the night in his house at last?

How long would it take the man to travel from his home to Baltimore by bus?

From the text we can know that_____________．

The author’s family were grateful to know the man because__________．

He started singing in church when he was six years old．His interest in music stuck with him．A lot of Chuck Berry’s material is about teenage life，especially school．Chuck Berry left school when he was 17．He headed west with two friends，but they did not get far．They were arrested after they used a gun to steal a car in Kansas City，Missouri．He was set free after four years.
Chuck Berry signed his first recording contract in 1955，with the company Chess Records．Because one of his early hits，“Rock＆Roll Music”，hit big in the United States then，which was greeted with enthusiastic reviews．Many other famous bands copied it again and again．
Filmmaker Taylor Hackford made a documentary called“Hail! Hail! Rock‘n’Roll”, named for a Chuck Berry song．It centered on the making of a concert to honor the musician on his 60th birthday in 1986．Guitarist Keith Richards from the Rolling Stones organized the concert．Listening to Chuck Berry songs got him interested in music．In Keith Richards’words，“I didn’t dream I could make a living at it but that’s what I wanted to do．”More than 75 artists and bands have done their own versions of Chuck Berry songs．
The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in Cleveland，Ohio，included Chuck Berry in its first year of honors in 1986．The Hall of Fame had this to say：“While no individual can be said to have invented rock and roll，Chuck Berry comes the closest of any single figure to being the one who put all the essential pieces together．”

From New Delhi to Beijing，commuters（通勤者）spend a lot of time stuck in traffic．In the United States，Los Angeles（L．A．）and San Francisco tie for second place（并列第二）for having the worst traffic problems．Washington，D．C．is in first place with the worst traffic，according to the Texas A＆M Transportation Institute．
In L．A．．drivers spend sixty－one hours every year stuck in traffic．These drivers know all too well how bad the traffic can be．Professor Cyrus Shahabi also knows about traffic jams．He said，“It’s a prison of cars．There are too many cars，you can’t move around a lot．I live more than 65 kilometers from my office at the University of Southern California．in L．A．．I’m always late even with the help of a navigation（导航）system．I thought it would be appropriate to do something to solve it．”
Therefore，he and PhD student Ugur Demiryurek decided to develop an app for that．The ClearPath app claims to do what other navigation systems cannot．Professor Shahabi says his program uses historical data to predict traffic conditions even before the driver leaves the house．
ClearPath uses two and a half years worth of traffic data from 9，000 sensors（传感器）on the roads of L．A．．It also collects information on accidents．
Professor Shahabi says his system does more than just respond to current traffic conditions．With ClearPath，he says，a driver can enter what time he wants to leave on a specific time and date，and ClearPath will give the fastest route．It looks at the entire road network，including surface streets as well as highways，before the driver hits the road．
Ugur Demiryurek says they will launch the free ClearPath app for roads in L．A．in two months．In a year，he and Professor Shahabi hope to have ClearPath available nationwide and overseas once they can collect traffic data from other cities．
“I thought always that L．A．had the worst traffic，but now I know that Shanghai，Beijing，Seoul，Tokyo，believe it or not，Singapore，Hong Kong definitely are examples that can immediately use this．”
The ClearPath app can mainly be used to __________．

What do we know from Professor Cyrus Shahabi’s words in Paragraph 2?

What does Paragraph 5 mainly tell us about ClearPath?

Three Ways to Be More Confident
You may have many fears when you want to do something．This not only limits your potential in life but it also minimizes your ability to make a positive impact on the world around you．
___  One thing that will definitely help is working on your confidence．
Know your strengths and weaknesses．
As you learn who you are，you gain confidence and also learn your weaknesses．   For one thing，it can be hard to know which parts of you are you，and which parts are who you think you should be．A good start is to identify your strengths and weaknesses and then weigh those against what you enjoy．It might help to list five things you do well that you enjoy and five things you’d like to do well．Make an effort to use some of the first list and work on some of the second every day．
  
Confidence comes not from knowing you know everything，but from knowing you can handle what comes up．No one in the world knows everything．   Don’t weigh your security against what you know or can do；weigh it against your willingness and capacity to learn．Don’t worry if you’re not sure of what you can do now—be sure to trust in your own potential．
Practice confidence．
It can be practiced－and with that practice you will get better．   A great opportunity to do this is when you meet new people．Just like if you were the new kid in school，they have no idea who you are－meaning you have an opportunity to show them．

E．Everyone is good at some things and not so good at others．
F．Like anything else in life，your confidence will improve with practice．
G．Maybe sometimes you didn’t believe you could do most of the things you wanted to do．

Playing the violin was once one of my dream．Because of lack of practice and playing skills，I did it very bad in the beginning and was often laughing at by other students．Gradually，I lost confidence to myself and wanted to give up．But my teacher told me．“Nothing was easy．Struggle is a vital part of our life．”Heard that，I pushed myself harder and began making a rapid progress．Eventually，I won the first place in a violin competition．
From his experience．I’ve learned a lesson that it is struggle which leads us to success．As long as we don’t give up and learn from our mistakes，we are sure overcome whatever difficulties we’re faced with．
