高一英语下学期期中综合测试试题（必修3） 第一部分：阅读理解 第一节： A When I was about 10 or 11 years old, my father told me something that has always stayed with me. When I asked him what I should be when I grew up, he always said, “Whatever you do, do something that is of some service to somebody else, because if you do, you’ll know that it mattered that you were born.” My father’s message propelled me into a life of traveling the world and seeing people in great need with my own eyes. Over the years, it deeply exists in my brain; it’s almost impossible for me not to step in and try to do something to help. Once, as a young reporter, I saw a child being laughed at on the playground because he had a webbed (有蹼的) thumb. He was an immigrant (移民) who hardly spoke English, and the kids always made fun of him because he was different. I did a story about him, and after it spread, a doctor called me and offered to fix the boy’s thumb for free. I told the poor family the good news. One day I got a call from the hospital. The father said his son wanted to see me. When I walked into the recovery room, the little boy held up his thumb. His eyes were filled with tears, and with his thick accent he said, “Thank you so much.” Realizing that something I had done had so affected that little boy changed something in me. What I didn’t realize until much later is that by sharing his message, my father had given me the keys to happiness. In the rush of our lives, we often forget that those simple acts of giving can give our own lives the most value, the most comfort and peace. People need to realize that when they help others they are also helping themselves. 1. The author’s father often told him to .
