1. (2023八下·普宁月考) 完形填空。

Have you ever offered a helping hand to those who are in trouble? One day, two1were walking along the road to school when they saw an old woman carrying a large basket of pears. They thought the woman looked very2. They went up to her and said," Are you going to town? If you are, we will help carry the basket. "

"Thank you,"3the woman, "you are very kind. You see I'm weak and ill." Then she told them that she was now going to the market to4the pears which grew on the only tree in her little garden.

"We are all going to the5," said the boys. "Let us have the basket." And they took hold of it, one each side. They walked6with the heavy basket, but happily. The other day, I saw a little girl stop and7a piece of orange peel (皮), which she threw into the dustbin (垃圾桶).

"I wish8would throw that on the sidewalk." she said. "Someone may step on it and fall." Perhaps some may say that these are not9things. That is right. But such a little thing shows that you have a thoughtful mind and a feeling heart. We must not wait for the10to do great things. We should begin with little things of love.
