     The cold wind cut through my enthusiasm (热情) as a tourist in Washington D.C., so I entered the

nearest restaurant for warmth. I ordered a coffee, and began observing people.

     At that time, I saw a man seated nearby and from his eager eyes, I realized that he noticed the

delicious food. His tired body and worn clothes shouted, "Homeless, homeless!"

     "How long has it been since he ate last time?" I wondered. I expected him to approach me for a

handout (施舍物). But he never did. A silent war broke out in my head-one side was telling me to mind

my own business, and the other was urging me to offer him some food.

     While my inner debate moved on, a well-dressed young couple walked up to him. "Excuse me, sir,

"the husband began. "We just finished eating, and our appetites (胃口) weren't as big as we had thought. We hate to waste good food. Can you help us out and put this to use?" He gave the man some food.

"Thank you. Merry Christmas!" the man replied. The man carefully watched his new food, and was about

to eat.

     Something that happened next shocked me. An old man in pants, an old jacket and open shoes

entered the hall and walked towards us. My neighbor saw the situation. Setting aside his meal, he stood

up and guided the old man to the table.

     "Hi, my name is Jack," he said, "and one kind person brought me this meal. I just finished eating and

hate to waste good food. Can you help me out?" The old man answered gratefully, "Sure, but only if you

go halfway with me on that sandwich."

     I left the restaurant that day feeling warmer than I had ever thought possible.

材料题

阅读下列材料:

材料一  1854 年,当他(美国海军准将马修·佩里)再次来到日本时……日本人被迫让步,于3 月31 日签订了《神奈川条约》……并于1856 年签订了《通商条约》……这一系列条约在西方世界并没有引起极大的关注。但对日本来说,它们却是其历史的巨大分界线。 ——斯塔夫里阿诺斯《全球通史》

材料二 改革的动力是西化。……英国模式自然作为铁路、电信、公共建筑和市政工程、纺织工业以及许多商业方面的模范;法国模式用来改革法制、改革军事(后来采用普鲁士模式),海军当然还是学习英国,大学则归功于美国。日本聘请的外国专家——在日本人的监督下——从1875~1876年的五六百人,上升到1890年的3000人左右。然而政治和意识形态方面的选择就困难了。……于是不到20年便出现一股反对极端西化、极端自由化的势力。……(他们)实际上是想制造一个新的以崇拜天皇为核心的国教,即神道崇拜。 ——艾瑞克·霍布斯鲍姆《资本的年代》

材料三 学术界一般认为,日本明治维新是一次资产阶级性质的改革。但是,在最近一次国际学术研讨会上,有些学者主张明治维新应理解为一次“明治革命”;而另一些学者则提出“明治中兴”的解释。

请回答:
