爱,从来不卑微

  ①很长一段时间,我一直为生命的某些命题所困扰。关于人生价值,关于人间真情等等。心灵的空间里满是楼宇隔绝起来的如壁的冷漠,使我因为这个年龄而丰盈起来的心像一株水仙在沙漠里渐渐枯萎。

  ②一个午后,校园里播放着一首不知名的美国歌曲,我和几个同学站在一栋楼房的角落里聊天。面前的桌子上,摆着为灾区孩子们募捐的纸箱。为了引起过往行人的注意,我们把一组放大的黑白照片贴在一块长幅的红布上。照片上的那些孩子坐在用帐篷搭起的教室里,纯真而渴求的目光齐齐地望着前方。

  ③在离我们不远的地方——学校西三食堂前的路旁,放着几只超负荷的垃圾箱,我每次拎着饭盒掩鼻而过时,总看到一个老头正专注地用铲子或手翻腾着什么。久而久之,便带着很强的不屑,眼熟了这个蓄着半撮白胡子的可怜的老头。

  ④我没有在意这个拾垃圾的老头的到来。他佝偻着身子很吃力的背着脏兮兮的尼龙袋从我面前走过。忽然停下来,在那幅红布面前站定,眯着眼仔细地瞧着那组照片,很久很久才从一张移向另一张。我不禁哑然失笑。一旁的伟子拽拽我:“小心点,别不留神让他把捐赠的衣服当作垃圾收跑了!”

  ⑤我笑笑,低头清理那些或大或小、或新或旧的捐款。突然感觉眼前有什么东西在晃动,我吃惊地抬起头,老头不知何时已来到了我的面前,一只枯黑得像老松树皮的手抖抖地递过来拾元钱。

  ⑥我惊讶得不知怎么办才好,回过神时,他已把钱放在了桌上,摆摆手,像完成了一个伟大的使命似的微昂着头离开了……

  ⑦我仍呆呆地站着,望着他佝偻着远去的背影,一股莫名的敬意从心底缓缓流过。这个曾在我眼中渺小而卑微的生命,以它朴实的力量深深震撼了我!

  ⑧在真情有些消瘦的年代里,这位或许因为贫困而被人们淡忘了的老人,却用生命里那条流淌着朴实的爱的血脉,尽了许多人冷漠地认为是义务的一点责任。

  ⑨心中种种命题忽然有了答案——在我们只知用华丽的文字呼喊爱渐迷失的时候,又有多少真正宝贵的东西被自己不屑地丢掉。老人弓腰拾到的,难道仅仅是我们丢弃的垃圾吗?

1.文章前面部分多次写“我”对拾垃圾老头的“不屑”,老头的哪些表现令我“不屑”?请简要概括。

_________________________________________________________________

2.为什么说老人的生命里流淌着的是“朴实的爱的血脉”?

_________________________________________________________________

3.文章开头说“我一直为生命的某些问题所困扰”,结尾又说:“心中种种命题有了答案。请问“我”为什么而“困扰”?“我”找到了什么“答案”?

_________________________________________________________________

4.老人的善举让“我”产生了“莫名的敬意”,甚至在他远去之后“我”仍然呆呆地站着。如果你是文中的“我”,此时,你最想对老人说什么?

_________________________________________________________________

答案

1.(1)他专注地用铲子或手翻腾垃圾。(2)他眯着眼仔细地瞧着那组照片。

2.因为老人是把帮助他人当作自己应尽的一份责任,而不是所谓的“义务”。

3.前一问:“我”被人生有无价值、人间有无真情等问题所困扰。后一问:从拾垃圾老人的举动中,“我”认识到人间真情仍在,只要我们自己的心不“冷”,世界就会充满爱,人生也会焕发出光彩。

4.“略”。(开放性题,无标准答案,只要符合语境和情理即可)

When the first European arrived in the land now called Canada, around 400 years ago, there were about 350,000 native people living there. Most of these people were later forced to live in separate places, called reserves, away from the cities where the Europeans settled.

The French and the British both settled in Canada and fought for the control of it. Finally in 1763 Britain defeated France and Canada became a British colony. Today both English and French are the official languages of Canada. Most French-speakers live in Quebec Province.

Canada became a separate country from Britain in 1867. At that time it had a population of 3.4 million. Today Canada’s population is 30 million as a result of immigration(移民).

The first Chinese immigrated to Canada in the late 1800s. More have recently arrived and like to live in either Toronto, Canada’s largest city, or in Vancouver on the Pacific coast.

Canada is a cold, northern country with long winters, so winter sports are popular. Ice hockey is known as Canada’s national sport. However, Canadians also like to make the most of the short summer and enjoy picnics by the lakes or hiking in the mountains.

Canadians love to travel across their huge country and usually do so by car. But to get to some places you need to take a ferry. Really long journeys from the east to the west coast are taken by train or by plane.

Canadians celebrate many different holidays. One of the most important is Canada Day on July 1st which recalls when Canada became united. Another important day honors Britain’s Queen Victoria. It is called Victoria Day and is held on the last Monday in May. Like the USA, Canada also celebrates Thanksgiving.
