不一樣的平安夜
Christmas Eve means a warm get-together with friends, a candlelight dinner, or perhaps a celebration at a pub(酒館) for students. But, for Cai Yingjie, the night has a different meaning: helping beggars(乞丐) and the homeless(people without homes).
Cai, who is a student in journalism at Tsinghua, could be found at Beijing’s Wudaokou Light Railway Station that special evening. When she saw an old beggar, she took the cold, rough hands of the woman with her warm, clean hands, and gave the woman some warm bread and helped her put on a pair of new gloves(手套).
The woman was surprised for a few seconds, then burst into tears, saying “for the first time I feel respected(尊重)”.
Cai said, “A beggar’s life is very hard. That’s why I want to help them.”
Cai was one of 14 Tsinghua students spendingChristmas Eve among the poor. They walked in the cold wind along the streets from 4to 7 pm on Friday, visiting 15 beggars in Beijing’s Haidian District.
They brought bread and gloves with them, and stopped to greet beggars and offer them some of the warm food. Each beggar greeted them with a look of surprise.
“I know the activity can’t help much, but it’s meant to show our respect and care for beggars and the homeless who have been neglected for so long,” said Sun, head of the group. “And Christmas is a good time for that.”

【答案及解析】
1.
選C。第1段的最后一句…helping beggars(乞丐) and the homeless(people without homes). 就是他們的決定,即去幫助那些乞丐和無家可歸的人,給他們以關(guān)愛。答案選C。
2.
選B。根據(jù)第3段中的 woman所說的話:…for the first time I feel respected(尊重). 我們可以推斷出:乞丐們有太長的時間沒人關(guān)心了。故答案為B。
3.
選B。在第6段中有這樣一句Each beggar greeted them with a look of surprise. 而B選項中Amazed 的同義表達就是surprised,所以答案為B。
4.
選D。本文講述了14個清華學子在平安夜幫助流浪漢和乞丐們的故事。這些流浪漢和乞丐們都感到十分的意外和溫暖,我們由此可推斷他們應(yīng)該是長期given no enough care(被忽視的)原因。這樣我們就可以排除A、B、C三項,最后正確答案為D。
