河南省南阳市第一中学2016-2017学年高三下学期英语高考四模考试试卷
I sat and waited for Kathleen to speak. “Annie,” she said, “A food bank that serves the elderly is asking for 1. I'd like you to organize the event” “Well, errr…sure.” As I stuttered (结巴地说) through my 2, all I could think was, “What? Why me?”
I walked back to my office wondering where to 3. This was a time when the economy was 4. The rise in unemployment forced many of my coworkers to 5 to survive. How could I ask them for more?
That evening I drove home with negativity. Then I remembered a time when my father was out of work. Mom wrote a note to Jim, the milkman, asking him not to 6 any more milk. Two days later Jim picked up the 7 and left four liters of milk. He wrote his message, which read, “Kids need milk.” The milk delivery 8 as usual and Jim never collected a cent 9 us.
The memory of Jim's 10 fired my enthusiasm. Perhaps I'd be in for a pleasant surprise.
The next morning I 11 signs about our food drive all over the cafeteria and on every notice board I could find. Each sign said, “Food drive to support the poor elderly! 12 of non-perishable (不易腐的) foods are greatly needed.”
Within a few days I had to locate empty office space to 13 the massive number of contributions we had 14. One of my coworkers, Maggie, made the rounds with me every day from one department to another to 15 the canned goods and other foods. Though over sixty, she pushed our food trolley around with the 16 of a woman half her age.
I asked her where she got all the enthusiasm. She said, “With the unemployment rate touching 10 percent, I can't think of a better way to be 17 for keeping our jobs when so many have 18 theirs. Sure money is 19. But when isn't it? People need food.”
As I listened to Maggie, the milkman's words 20 in my ears, “Kids need milk.”
