- 试题详情及答案解析
- One day, a poor boy was so hungry that he decided to beg for a meal at the next house. However, he lost his nerve when a lovely young woman opened the door. Instead of a meal he asked for a drink of water. She thought he looked hungry so she brought him a large glass of milk. He drank it slowly, and then asked, “How much do I own you?” “You don't owe me anything,” she replied, “Mother has taught me never to accept pay for a kindness.” “Then I thank you from the bottom of my heart.” With these words, Howard Kelly left that house.
Year later the woman became badly ill and was finally sent to the hospital in a big city. Dr. Howard Kelly, now famous, was called in. When he heard the name of the town she came from, a strange light filled his eyes. Dressed in his doctor's clothes, Dr. Kelly went into her room and recognized her at once. From that day on, he gave special attention to her, and decided to do his best to save her life.
After a long struggle, the battle was won. Dr. Kelly asked the business office to pass the final bill to him. He looked at it and then wrote something on the side. The bill was sent to her room. She was afraid to open it because she was sure that it would take the rest of her life to pay it off. Finally she looked, and the note on the side of the bill caught her attention: “Paid in full with a glass of milk. Dr. Howard Kelly.”

- 答案：When a poor boy was hungry, a young woman gave hem a glass of milk. Years later, as a famous doctor, he saved the woman’s life and paid the final bill for her in return for her earlier help. (39 words)
Greatly inspired by the story, I learn that we should always be ready to help those in need and that once helped by others, we should be grateful to others and try to repay them or pass on the kindness.
The story reminds me of one of my own experiences. One Friday night, school was over and I was about to go home when it started to rain heavily. Having left my umbrella at home, I could do nothing but wait helplessly in the classroom, feeling increasingly worried with every minute passing by. Just at this moment, Henry offered to lend me his umbrella, which I think he might need for the weekend. But he insisted that he could share one with others since he stayed in the school dormitory and that I should go home at once before it was too late. Little act as it might seem, Henry’s kindness and willingness to help greatly impressed me.
It happened that several days before the mid-term exam, Henry fell seriously ill and had to stay in hospital for days, as a result of which, he missed some lessons and was very worried. I went to the hospital to accompany him every day, helping him make up for his lessons. Eventually, he got good marks in the exam, which delighted both of us.
