One night I went to pick up a passenger at 2:30 a.m. When I arrived to collect, I found the building was dark except for a single light in a ground floor window.     I walked to the door and knocked, “Just a minute,” answered a weak, elderly voice.After a long pause, the door opened. A small woman in her eighties stood before me. By her side was a small suitcase.     I took the suitcase to the car, and then returned to help the woman. She took my arm and we walked slowly toward the car.     She kept thanking me for my kindness. “It’s nothing,” I told her. “I just try to treat my passengers the way I would want my mother treated.”     “Oh, you’re such a good man.” She said. When we got into the taxi, she gave me an address, and then asked, “Could you drive through downtown?”     “It’s not the shortest way,” I answered quickly.     “Oh, I’m in no hurry,” she said. “I’m on my way to a hospice(临终医院). I don’t have any family left. The doctor says I don’t have very long.”     I quietly reached over and shut off the meter(计价器).     For the next two hours, we drove through the city. She showed me the building where she had once worked, the neighborhood where she had lived, and the furniture shop that had once been a ballroom where she had gone dancing as a girl.     Sometimes she’d ask me to slow down in front of a particular building and would sit staring into the darkness, saying nothing.     At dawn, she suddenly said,” I’m tired. Let’s go ‎ now.”     We drove in silence to the address she had given me.     “How much do I owe you?” she asked.      “Nothing.” I said.     “You have to make a living,” she answered. “Oh, there are other passengers,” I answered.     Almost without thinking, I bent and gave her a hug. She held onto e tightly. Our hug ended with her remark, “You gave an old woman a little moment of joy.” 33.The old woman chose to ride through downtown in order to ______. A.show she was familiar with downtown B.see some places for the last time C.let the driver earn more money D.reach the destination on time 34.The taxi driver did not charge the old woman because he ______.

Maybe they are worried about their handwriting. Are you one of them? 36__________Here are five steps that really work!     Get a great grasp     Try this — hold your pencil at the top and try to write your name. Pretty hard? But when you hold your pencil the correct way, writing is much easier. 37__________Hold it in place with your thumb(拇指), and your index and middle fingers.      Let the lines be your guide ‎      Lined paper is your friend! Those lines can help you create letters that are of the right size and proportion (比例).38__________Also be sure to fill up the lined space completely. Those capital letters should be from the bottom line to the top one.      Slow down      If your writing is hard to read, try slowing down a little. If you rush, it’s hard to control where you stop and start your letters.      Lower the pressure (压力)    39__________That makes it harder to make the smooth lines. Try relaxing and don’t hold the pencil too hard.     40__________      Lots of games need you to write or draw pictures. So even though it’s not schoolwork, you’re still using the skills you need to control your pencil better. A. Play games B. Ask for advice C. You’ve been writing since you were a little kid. D. So“a”should be half the height of a capital“A”. E. Some kids press down really hard when they write. F. The best way to hold a pencil is to rest it next to the base of your thumb. G.
