一、完形填空(10分)
A few years ago, I took a trip to London. I saw many national treasures. And I also saw a lot of countrymen on the street — 1 ones, like beggars(乞丐) and homeless people.
Standing on the street, I heard a voice ask, “Can you help me?” When I turned around, I saw an elderly blind woman. Naturally, I reached into my 2 , pulled out all of my change and placed it in her hand without looking at her. I felt unhappy to be 3 by a beggar. But the blind woman smiled and said, “I don’t want your money. I just need help finding the post office.”
In a second, I realized what I had done. I’d judged(审判)another person 4 by what I supposed she had to be.
I felt a sense of 5 when I realized this. This event brought back my belief. I believed that I should never look down upon others, 6 I’d lost that belief for a moment.
The thing I had forgotten about myself is that I came from another country. I left Honduras and arrived in Britain when I was 15 years old. I started my new life with two suitcases, my brother, my sister and a strong mother. 7 the years, I have been a dish washer, roofer, mechanic, cashier and pizza delivery driver. Finally, I become a network engineer.
So far, in my own life, I have 8 many acts of being looked down upon by others. I once heard a father tell his little boy, “If you do not do well in school, you will end up like him.”
But now, living my Britain middle-class lifestyle, it is easy to forget my 9 , to forget who I am and where I have been, and to lose sight of where I want to go. That blind woman dealt with 10 blindness successfully. She reminded me of my belief in never looking down upon others, and to always keep my eyes and heart open.
