Compassion is a desire within us to help others. With effort, we can translate compassion into actions. An experience last weekend showed me this is true. I work part-time in a supermarket across from a building for the elderly. These old people are our main customers, and it’s not hard to lose patience over their slowness. But last Sunday, one aged gentleman appeared to teach me a valuable Lesson. This untidy man walled up to my register( 收款机 ) with a box of biscuits. He said he was out of cash, had just moved into his room, and had nothing in his cupboards. He asked if we could let him have the food on trust. He promised to repay me the next day.
I couldn’t help staring at him. I wondered what kind of person he had been ten or twenty years before, and what he would be like if luck had gone his way. I had a hurt in my heart for this kind of human soul, all alone in the world. I told him that I was sorry, but store rules didn’t allow me to do so. I felt stupid and unkind saying this, but I valued my job.
Just then, another man, standing behind the first, spoke up. If anything, he looked more pitiable. “ Charge it to me,” was all he said.
What I had been feeling was pity. Pity is soft and safe and easy. Compassion, on the other hand, is caring in action. I thanked the second man but told him that was not allowed either. Then I reached into my pocket and paid for the biscuits myself. I reached into my pocket because these two men had reached into my heart and taught me compassion.
56．The aged gentleman who wanted to buy the biscuits______.
A. promised to obey the store rules B. forgot to take any money with him
C. hoped to have the food first and pay later

Lack of parent willpower may contribute more to juvenile obesity than under-exercising or overeating. Research suggests that having overweight parents is a big influence upon a child’s weight, with one study finding that children with overweight parents were four times likely to be overweight themselves.
The findings add heat to an already fierce political debate(争论 ) over children obesity. The Prime Minister, John Howard, last week decided that $ 116 million be used for programs to deal with obesity, while the Opposition Leader, Mark Latham, recently announced that his party would move to protect children from unhealthy food advertisements.
Clare Collin, a senior lecturer at the University of Newcastle, believes such programs will definitely fail unless they influence the way of life of whole families. “ If we can’t get parents to take action against their own weight problems, then we can’t expect to influence their kids.” she said.
However, Professor Louise Baur from the Children’s Hospital at Westmead, doubts whether adult education programs offer any solution to weigh problems. “Many parents know they need to lose weight and they know it influence their kids, but they lack the willpower to do anything about it.”
The 10-year study of 150 American children found two-thirds of children with overweight parents became overweight. Only one in six children whose parents were of average weight became overweight.
The president of the Australian Society for the Study of Obesity Associate Professor Gary Witttert, said parents needed help in doing their job and the Opposition Party’s policy might be on the right track.
“We know that driving without a seat belt is unsafe, so we make law against it.” he said. “Obesity is a major public health concern, so why shouldn’t we change the law regarding unhealthy food ads?”
64. What does the underlines phrase “juvenile obesity” mean?
A. Adult education B. Childhood overweight
C. Parents’ influence D. Growing pains
65.What is TRUE about the program supported by the Prime Minister?
A. Debates on them will become less fierce.
B. They will be effective in dealing with obesity
C. A large sum of money will be spent on them
D. They will influence people’s way of life
66. Both Collins and Baur believe that overweight parents _____.
A. will come up with better solutions
B. will help with their children’s education
C. should be more active in reducing weight
D. should carry out at least 10 years study
67. According to some experts, the Opposition Party’s policy _____.
A. can help fight against unemployment
B. may protect kids from unhealthy food ads
C. should be brought back to the right track
D. will work well to prevent traffic accident
