Zheng He was an amazing man. He was born in 1371. Eleven years later, he was caught by the army of a rich young man called Zhu Di and made to work for him. Over time the rich man saw that Zheng He was very clever and strong and they became close friends. In 1403 Zhu Di was made the King of China and he asked Zheng He to join his government.

The King wanted to learn more about the world and show other countries his power. He ordered many new ships to be built and made Zheng He their leader. between 1405 and 1433, Zheng He led seven sea trips to different parts of the world. He certainly travelled to India, Africa and the Middle East. A few people think his ships have even reached South America and Australia.

Each trip lasted between two and four years and it is believed he sailed more than 50,000 kms during the years of his travels.Zheng He led a fleet with 28,000 men and over 300 ships, such as boats for food, water and even soldiers' horses.

On these trips he brought with him many Chinese goods like silk and medicine to give to foreign kings or to sell for local goods. He returned from each trip with boats filled with expensive things such as gold and treasures, foreign guests and strange animals like a giraffe.

It is a pity that we may never learn everything about Zheng He' s travels. The Columbus of the east, Zheng He, died in 1433. After that, the new king, had these trips stopped and he burned almost all the books about Zheng He's travels, because he believed the trips were unlucky and too expensive. It is only in the last 50 years that historians have begun to carefully study the adventures of great Zheng He.

举一反三
Difficult times often bring out the best in people. Many well-known people come to help those who are in trouble. And this was the case for basketball player Yao Ming. He hosted a television show in Shanghai and raised US $ 300,000 to help researchers (研究员) find a medical cure. Fund-raising, or charity, is an act of goodwill(好意) towards others.
Charities in the West have more ways. Look at a typical day for Ruth, a rich woman in the UK, for example. Ruth wakes up in the morning and collects her post. There's a letter addressed to her with a picture of a half-dead, beaten(筋疲力尽的) horse. It's from a charity asking Ruth to donate money to save the animals. She turns on the television, and sees a picture of a wide–eyed child dying of hunger in Africa with a request (请求) for money to help the child. The tickets for the charity shows often cost her a lot of money, but she doesn't mind because most of the money is going to a charity that fights AIDS. She feels good about going because she's helping the sick.
Edna, a little old lady, looks after a second-hand shop—a charity shop. Any profit (收益) it has made goes to a cancer(癌症) charity. Now that she doesn't have to work, she has lots of time to offer her services for free.
For people like Yao Ming, Ruth and Edna, charity is a virtue (美德) that holds the same importance in life as faith and hope. “As you look back on your life, the moments that stand out are the moments when you have done things for others,” said Scottish writer Henry Drummond.

根据文章内容,选择最恰当的答案

    I put my carry-on in the luggage compartment(行李舱架),

    and sat down in my seat.Just before take-off,a line of soldiers came down the aisle(过道) and filled all the empty seats.

    After flying for about an hour, an announcement was made that sack lunch (午餐袋)were available for $5.As I reached for my wallet to buy one, I overheard the soldier ask his buddy if he planned to buy lunch. "No, that seems like a lot of money for just a sack lunch.I'll wait till we get to Chicago."His friend agreed.

    I looked around at the other soldiers.None were buying lunch.I walked to the back of the plane,and handed the flight attendant(服务人员)a $50 bill. "Take a lunch to all those soldiers."

    After we finished eating. I went again to the back of the plane, heading for the restroom. A man stopped me." I saw what you did.I want to be part of it. Here, take this." He handed me $25.

    Soon after I returned to my seat, I saw the Flight Captain coming down the aisle.

    When he got to my row, he stopped and said," I want to shake your hand. I was a soldier and I was a military(军队) pilot. Once, someone bought me a lunch.It was an act of kindness I never forgot."I was embarrassed when applause(掌声) was heard from all of the passengers.

    Later I walked to the front of the plane so I could stretch my legs.A man who was seated about six rows in front of me reached out his hand, wanting to shake mine. He left another $25 in my hand.

    We landed in Chicago, I picked up my belongings.Waiting just inside the airplane door was a man who stopped me and put something in my shirt pocket. Another $25.

    Upon entering the terminal(航站楼),I saw the soldiers gathering for their trip to their base.

    I walked over to them and handed them $75."It will take you some time to reach the base.It will be about time for a sandwich. God Bless You." I said.

    These soldiers were giving their all for our country. I could only give them a couple of meals.It seemed so little.
