     The whole morning we just checked our own things. We were looking for items to give away. We

thought of blankets, food and clothing. Our aim was not to find things we no longer wanted, but things

we use every day and would be useful to others.

     We made up boxes with the things and added some small toys. Inside the boxes a simple letter was

placed, reading:

     "Please take these items and know that your life is important. Times are difficult but they will pass.

We share what we have, believing it will matter. Use the blanket to stay warm. Be safe and know that the

human spirit can overcome anything. Don't hold your head down. Someday please do the same when you

can. How you do it and when, your heart will tell you.

    This kind act was not because the phone rang or for any reason. It was simply because it was the right

time to do. We have often seen homeless people at the park where we left the belongings. The city would

say that it isn't a problem but I see the lives walking to and from it.

     I noticed that my wife had put her favorite green coat into one of the boxes. I asked if she was sure

about it and she simply replied that it had a hood (风帽). She liked the coat but knew the hood could shelter

(遮挡)someone from the rain.

     We don't know where these gifts of compassion (同情) will go. We never go back and see what

happens. It's unimportant. The right things will find the right people and that is all that counts. On the way

my wife started to cry. When I asked why, she said because some things felt so right.

综合题

(2008宁夏文综)阅读下列材料:

材料一  欧洲在战后一个严寒的黎明醒来。1947难得冬天是气候恶劣的季节。从1月倒月,一股冷风横扫德、意、法、英等国……狂风呼啸,积雪如山,交通断绝,浮水堵住了泰晤士河口;运载着食品激扬的火车转眼之间救灾铁轨上;驶往巴黎的运煤船被冰块堵在水上航行不得。在柏林……作为应急措施,每户德国家庭分配到一棵树作为取暖之用。

整个欧洲,供水系统、下水道排污以及其他大部分生活设施瘫痪;事物供应日减,煤的储备不断减少……英国的失业人口在两个月之内增加了100完。政府和工业都在冰雪中停止运作了。生命似乎已被冻僵;400万头羊、3万头牛冻饿而死。在置身其间的哲学家以赛亚•伯林看来,这里“空旷,寥无人际,就像一具幽雅的尸体”。

——摘编自(英)•斯•桑德斯《文化冷战与中央情报局》

材料二  我无须对诸位说:世界局势很严重……我们的政策不是反对任何国家、任何注意。而是反对饥饿、贫穷、悲惨、混乱。在美国政府能够尽力缓和局势,协助欧洲走上复兴道路之前,显然地,欧洲国家……事先应该获致若干协议。这是欧洲人的事情,最初的意见应该由欧洲提出……这个计划必须是联合性质的,假使不能商得所有欧洲国家的同意,也得商得一部分国家的同意。

——摘自美国国务卿马歇尔在哈佛大学的演说(1947年6月5日)

⑴根据材料一并结合所学知识,概括指出欧洲成为“一具优雅的尸体”的原因。

⑵根据材料二并结合所学知识,说明马歇尔计划对欧洲的影响。
