活页作业(十二)Ⅰ.阅读理解A“Penn Station，”I told the cab driver and got in.The young，heavy－set man looked friendly and we naturally started a conversation，which went from the weather and quickly varied into the struggles of a cab driver’s life.“What do you do besides your job？”he asked curiously.“I help a nonprofit organization trying to bring some goodness to the world，”I responded.“Do they pay you well？”“Well，no，but I get_by.I don’t have many material things in life，but I have realized that I don’t need all that to keep me happy.If I die tomorrow，I want to go out knowing that I’ve made a few people smile.”The young cab driver，perhaps in his late thirties，looked back through the sliding glass as if extending his hand for a handshake－“Man，it is nice to meet you.”Although we were strangers，both of us felt deeply connected as human beings.And by now，seven minutes into our ride，we were on a first－name basis.He even spelled his name for me：H—a—k—e—e—m.Hakeem and I talked a bit about simple acts of generosity，the power of a pay－it－forward mindset and how that can promote trust and connection in our communities.He understood the idea，but it seemed very abstract and foreign to him.We arrived at Penn Station and traded e－mail addresses after I paid my ride fare.As I was heading out，I turned to him and said，“Hakeem，here is a$20.Whenever you feel like it，you give a ride to people and tell them that someone before them has paid for their fare.See what happens.”Hearing this，Hakeem was visibly moved.“Really？Are you sure？”语篇解读：本文讲述了作者在乘计程车的时间里给司机上了一堂生动的关于奉献的课程。赠人玫瑰，手留余香，在爱心施予的同时，我们也将收获快乐。1．The phrase “get by” in Paragraph 2 probably means ____________________.A．receive some profits by helping the organizationB．receive no profit by helping the organizationC．gain some fame by helping the organizationD．gain some happiness by helping the organization解析：词义猜测题。由下一句的“I have realized that I don’t need all that to keep me happy”暗示，可知get by此处意为“通过这份工作得到了快乐”。故D项正确。答案：D2．From the description that Hakeem
