浙江省宁波市江北区2019届九年级上学期英语期末考试试卷
She used to sleep on the sidewalk of the Fifth Street Post Office. I could smell her before I came close. She wore dirty clothes and her mouth was nearly toothless. I hardly saw her talk with others. If she was not asleep, she talked to herself. I always had sympathy for her. What a poor old lady! She must be desperate (感到绝望的)and hungry.
One Thanksgiving, we had lots of food left over. I thought about the old lady. She might be still hungry. So I packed the food up and drove over to the Fifth Street.
It was a cold night. There was hardly anyone out. But I knew she would stay at the same place and I would find her easily.
There she was, squatted against a fence near the post office. She was dressed as she always was.
I drove my car over to her, rolled down the window and said, "I've brought you some food. Would you like some turkey and apple pie？"
However, the old woman didn't seem to be very excited about this. She looked at me and said quite clearly, "Oh, thank you very much, but someone has given me food earlier and I'm quite full now. Why don't you take it to someone else who needs it？"
Her words were clear and her manners were gracious. Soon her head sank into her arms again. I was the only person who didn't know what to say. An old lady who was clearly down on her luck still thought about others. Why don't more of us do that？
