第三部分：阅读理解（共20小题；每小题2分，满分40分）

阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。

A

A small boy sat on the street with a hat by his feet. He held up a sign which said “ I am blind, please help”. There were only a few coins in the hat.

A man was walking by. He took a few coins from his pocket and dropped them into the hat. He then took the sign, turned it around, and wrote some words. He put the sign back so that everyone who walked by would see the new words. Soon the hat began to fill up. A lot more people were giving money to the blind boy.

The boy recognized his footsteps and asked “Were you the one who changed my sign this morning? What did you write?” The man said “I only wrote the truth. I said what you said but in a different way.”

What he had written was “Today is a beautiful day but I cannot see it.”

But the first sign simply told people to help by putting some money in the hat. The second sign told people that they were able to enjoy the day, but the boy could not enjoy it because he was blind.

The first sign simply said the boy was blind. The second sign told people they were so lucky that they were not blind.

There are at least two lessons we can learn from this simple story.

The first is Be thankful for what you have. Someone else has less. Help where you can.

The second is
