   Many years ago,when I was in high school and working on weekends to pay for the extras that my family couldn’t really afford,I lost my wallet.

My old car needed gassing up. I prepaid and then put my wallet on the bumper(保险杠),and drove off. I hadn’t even had time to miss it when my phone rang and a man asked me if I had lost my wallet. I checked my pocket and to my surprise,I didn’t find my wallet. He asked me to tell him how much money was in it. He then told me where to pick up my wallet.

As I pulled into his driveway,I noticed his handicapped van(残疾人车)and the ramp going up to the house. I was thinking that there was no way this man easily got out of his van and got my wallet off the street. He had to pull over,get in his wheelchair,lower the lift,and then pick it up. I was just surprised. I felt grateful.

I knocked on the door and he told me to come in. I thanked him like 10 times for finding my wallet. I was stuck,though. While I didn’t want to insult him by offering money,I really felt like offering something. So I asked him if there was anything I could do to repay his kindness,and he said,“Just pass it on. ”I said I would be certain to do that. I was raised to be honest in any situation and I would have done so,without promising this fellow I would,but I wanted to repay his kindness,so I willingly promised I would.

【小题1】Where did the writer lose his wallet?
A.At the shop.
B.At the gas station.
C.At the hospital.
D.At the garage.
【小题2】We can know the man who picked up the wallet couldn’t _______ freely.
A.walkB.hear
C.speakD.see
【小题3】What did the man ask the writer to do?
A.He asked the writer to be careful.
B.He asked the writer to pass his kindness on.
C.He asked the writer to repay his kindness.
D.He asked the writer to be honest.
【小题4】What can we learn from the man’s action?
A.Where there’s a will there’s a way.
B.A friend in need is a friend indeed.
C.Good is rewarded with good.
D.Help others, but not ask for anything.
