2016—2017学年度靖远二中 命题人：李世鹏 审核：金鹏安 第一部分 阅读第节(共5小题; 每小题2分, 满分0分) A ? It was Sunday yesterday and my son and I walked a couple of miles in the morning. We got hungry so we decided to stop for a meal in a restaurant. While we were waiting in a line, a woman came in. She was very angry and talking about a beggar who had asked her for money. In her opinion, those people had the ability to earn their bread and butter. I was feeling uncomfortable with the situation and wondering what I should say to my son later. I had told him that we should help those who were in need of help. At that time the lady said, Today is my birthday, and nobody can bother me. I knew this was my chance to help her change her thinking and to help her feel cared for on her birthday. I asked the waitress for help, telling her I wanted to pay for the womans meal. The waitress looked at me in surprise. I paid for our meal and that of the woman. When the woman finished eating her food, the waitress told her that it was I who had paid for her meal. Then the woman came to our table and tried to force her money on us. She even said, I cant take your money, because I didnt help the person who asked me for money for food! I just smiled and said, I just hope you have a very nice birthday. She ended up sitting near us and talked with us. It turned out that she was crazy about animals. Hearing our stories of pet adoptions really cheered her up. You are a nice father, she said. She left, seeming to be happier and more thoughtful about all that had happened. Id say it was worth the price. 1. The author and his son stopped walking that morning because _______.
