阅读下面的文字，完成下面问题。

        （1）斯塔弗·皮特坐在联合广场喷泉对面人行道旁边的第三条长凳上。九年来，每逢感恩节，他总是不早不迟，在一点钟的时候坐在老地方。但是，斯塔弗·皮特今天出现在一年一度的约会地点，似乎是出于习惯，而不是出于饥饿。

        （2）皮特一点儿也不饿。来这儿之前他刚刚大吃了一顿，如今只剩下呼吸和挪动的力气了。他的衣服当然褴褛，衬衫前襟一直豁到心口，可是夹着雪花的十一月的微风只给他带来一种可喜的凉爽。因为那顿特别丰富的饭菜所产生的热量，使得斯塔弗·皮特不胜负担。

        （3）那顿饭完全出乎他意料之外。他路过五马路起点附近的一幢红砖住宅，那里住有两位尊重传统的老太太。她们派一个佣人等在侧门口，吩咐他在正午过后把第一个饥饿的过路人请进来，让他大吃大喝，饱餐一顿。斯塔弗·皮特去公园时，碰巧路过那里，给管家们请了进去，成全了城堡里的传统。

        （4）斯塔弗·皮特朝前面直瞪瞪地望了十分钟之后，觉得很想换换眼界。他费了好大的劲儿，才慢慢把头扭向左面。这时，他的眼球惊恐地鼓了出来，他的呼吸停止了，他那穿着破皮鞋的短脚在砂砾地上簌簌地扭动着。

        （5）因为那位老先生正穿过马路，朝他坐着的方向走来。

        （6）九年来，每逢感恩节，这位老先生总是来这儿寻找坐在长凳上的斯塔弗·皮特，总是带他到一家饭馆里去，看他美餐一顿。

        （7）老先生又高又瘦，年过花甲。他穿着一身黑衣服，鼻子上架着一副不稳当的老工眼镜。他的头发比去年白一点儿，稀一点儿，而且好象比去年更借重那支粗而多节的曲柄拐杖。

        （8）斯塔弗·皮特眼看他的老恩人走近，不禁呼吸短促，直打哆嗦。

        （9）“你好。”老先生说，“我很高兴见到一年的变迁对你并没有什么影响，你仍旧很健旺地在这个美好的世界上逍遥自在。仅仅为了这一点幸福，今天这个感恩节对我们两人都有很大的意义。假如你愿意跟我一起来，朋友，我预备请你吃顿饭，让你的身心取得协调。” 

        （10）老先生每次都说同样的话。九年来的每一个感恩节都是这样。这些话本身几乎成了一个制度。除了《独立宣言》之外，没有什么可以同它相比了。以前在斯塔弗听来，它们象音乐一般美妙。现今他却愁眉苦脸，眼泪汪汪地抬头看着老先生的脸。细雪落到斯塔弗的汗水淋漓的额头上，几乎咝咝发响。但是老先生却在微微打战，他掉转身子，背朝着风。

        （11）斯塔弗抬着头，瞅了他一会儿，自怨自艾，好不烦恼，可是又束手无策。老先生的眼睛里闪出光亮，他脸上的皱纹一年比一年深，但他那小小的黑领结依然非常神气，他的衬衫又白又漂亮，他那两撇灰胡髭典雅地翘着。

        （12）“谢谢你，先生。非常感谢，我跟你一起去。我饿极啦，先生。” 

        （13）饱胀引起的昏昏沉沉的感觉，并没有动摇斯塔弗脑子里的那个信念。老先生带着他的一年一度的受惠者，朝南去到那家饭馆和那张年年举行盛宴的桌子。

        （14）“老家伙来啦，”一个侍者说，“他每年感恩节都请那个穷汉吃上一顿。”侍者在桌子上摆满了节日的食物——斯塔弗叹了口气，举起了刀叉。

        （15）在敌军中杀开一条血路的英雄都没有他这样勇敢。火鸡、肉排、汤、蔬菜、馅饼，一端到他面前就不见了。他跨进饭馆的时候，肚子里已经塞得实实足足，食物的气味几乎使他丧失绅士的荣誉，但他却象一个真正的骑士，打起精神，坚持到底。

        （16）一小时之后，斯塔弗往后一靠，这一仗已经打赢了。

        （17）“多谢你 ，先生，”他象一根漏气的蒸气管子那样呼哧呼哧地说，“多谢你赏了一顿称心的中饭。” 

        （18）接着，他两眼发直，费劲地站起身来。一个侍者把他象陀螺似地打了一个转，推他走向门口。老先生仔仔细细地数出一块三毛钱的小银币，另外给了侍者三枚镍币做小账。

        （19）他们象往年那样，在门口分了手，老先生往南，斯塔弗往北。在第一个拐角上，斯塔弗转过身，站了一会儿。接着，他的破旧衣服象猫头鹰羽毛似地鼓了起来，他自己则象一匹中暑的马那样，倒在人行道上。

        （20）救护车开到，年轻的医师和司机低声咒骂他的笨重。既然没有威士忌的气息，也就没有理由把他移交给警察局的巡逻车，于是斯塔弗和他肚子里的双份饭就给带到医院里去了。

        （21）过了一小时，另一辆救护车把老先生送来了。他们把他放在另一张床上。

        （22）不多久，一个年轻的医师碰到一个眼睛讨他喜欢的年轻的护士，便停住脚步，跟她谈谈病人的情况。

        （23）“那个体面的老先生，”他说，“你怎么都猜不到，他几乎要饿死了。从前大概是名门世家，如今落魄了。他告诉我说，他已经三天没有吃东西了。” （节选自作者同名小说）

（1）下列对文章的理解和分析，正确的两项是（     ）

A. 小说讲述流浪汉皮特与老先生坚持“感恩节传统”，最后一个被撑病，一个被饿昏的故事。看似简单的故事背后，却透射出人性的光辉。

B.“微风只给他带来一种可喜的凉爽”“细雪落到斯塔弗的汗水淋漓的额头上”文中这两处环境描写，从而表现皮特饱餐后的真实状况。

C. 老先生“好象比去年更借重那支粗而多节的曲柄拐杖”，并在细雪中“微微打战”“背朝着风”，这些描写为后面情节的发展，埋下了伏笔。

D．选文用词准确，第④段“他的眼球惊恐地鼓了出来”的“鼓”字，“簌簌地扭动着”中的“扭动”都形象地表明皮特此时又懊恼又激动的心理。

E．作者没有直接表露自己的感情倾向，而是通过故事本身来客观表达。这种写法更易使读者深入故事，引发共鸣，从而增强作品的感染力。

For many young people, having to attend school with a parent would be their worst nightmare. However, Senior 1 student Li Qinmei is happy taking her father with her as long as she can go to classes. He is disabled and unable to take care of himself.

The 16-year-old country girl in Zhucheng, Shandong Province has experienced one disaster after another in her short life. Li lost her mother at three. Four years later, her father became paralyzed after a tractor accident. At 12, her misfortune returned with the death of her grandma. Since then she has been forced to shoulder all the responsibility for her broken family.

Li learnt to cook and managed to live a life with an allowance of only 24 yuan per month. The most difficult thing she had to deal with was helping her father bathe, dress and use the toilet as he could hardly move.

"I felt embarrassed, and so did my dad. It was really hard at the beginning," she recalled.

During most of her junior school years, Li went to classes only once a month as her father was seriously ill at the time.

"I taught myself at home and asked teachers for help on my school days," she explained.

Li's hard work paid off this fall. She was admitted by Zhucheng No 1 High School, a local key school, based on her good performance in the entrance exams.

The school offered Li and her father a room on campus to live in so she could look after him during breaks.

Once in a while, Li felt sad when she saw her classmates going shopping or hanging out with friends.

"I envy them sometimes because they have both mum and dad to look after them. However, I soon feel relieved as I still have my dad with me," she said.

Li admitted that the difficulties in life had taught her to be strong.

"I believe I will go on and continue my studies at a good university," she said, in a confident tone.

Her teacher Mr. Wang has the same belief. Li made great progress in the recent monthly exams. "She works hard and is always eager to excel . It's not easy for her never to be late for school, but she has managed to make it work," Wang said.
