Our hero’s origin story started this past February in the Perine family living room in Birmingham, Alabama. Austin, a 4-year-old boy, and his father, Tad Perine, were watching a program on Animal Planet about a mother panda leaving her cubs. “I told him that the cubs would be homeless for a while,” Tad says. “Austin didn’t know what homelessness meant, but he was sad and wanted to know more.”
Seeing this as a teachable moment, Tad took Austin to the Firehouse Ministries, a local shelter that provides housing, food, and other services for homeless men. As they drove by the redbrick building, they saw a group of 25 homeless men standing on the street corner. “Dad, they look sad.” Austin said. “Can we take them some food and make them smile?” That day, Austin used his allowance to buy each man a Burger King sandwich and handed the food out himself. Seeing what their presence meant to the men at the ministry, Austin and Tad returned the next week.
After he returned every week for five weeks, word of Austin’s acts of kindness spread through social media and national news outlets. Burger King jumped aboard, agreeing to donate $1,000 a month for an entire year toward the cause. Soon, churches and shelters across the country began inviting Austin to come to distribute food in other areas. Whereas before Austin and Tad could feed 25 to 50 people at a time; now, thanks to corporate and community support, they can feed 800 to 2,000 people at once.
As for Austin, he continues to give out food, smiles, and his inspirational message of love. “It makes me feel like I’m saving the day.”

A．Surprised B．Joyful
C．Grateful D．Unhappy
2、Why did Tad drive Austin to the local shelter?
A．To donate some money for the homeless.
B．To ask for some help from the homeless.

3、What does the author intend to do in Paragraph 3?

B．To praise Burger King’s donation.
C．To thank the community’s support
D．To convey appreciation of the homeless.
4、What can be a suitable title for the text?

D．Tad’s Inspirational Message of Love

B
When viewed from the Schuylkill Expressway in Philadelphia, St. John's Church presents a picture of dignity and grace. This gray-stoned beauty surrounded by a park made a wonderful setting for the wedding my wife and I attended in Manayunk.
At the church, I ran into an old friend? Casper Barrata, who happened to be assigned to the Mass (弥撒). Now 73, Casper was a brilliant and talented softball pitcher (投手) back in the Men's Leagues of Philadelphia in the mid-60s. I didn't recognize the now silver-haired fellow until my brother-in-law John Kay mentioned his name to me! After a very pleasant greeting and praising each other on how good the other was at playing the game back then, Casper asked if I remembered a letter of encouragement I had written to him back in 1964. It appeared that Casper fell on hard times pitching, as pitchers sometimes do, and he wasn'1 pitching too well for a period of time. I didn't recall the letter, but he said, “Yes, I still have it, and I continue to read it anytime things aren't going too well.” He went on to say that he had read the letter many times over the past 40 years, and the situation always seemed to improve. I was speechless!
He continued, “You don’t remember?” I said, “Sadly, no, I don't.” But I did ask if I could have a copy of the letter. He said he would email it to me. After Casper finished work at Murphy's wedding, we met on the steps of the church. Casper came up to me and presented the letter. He lived a block away from the church and ran home to get it after the Mass. The envelope had faded and turned yellow, and so was the letter inside. That letter had to be nearly 50 years old. In simple terms, the letter read:
These hard times are temporary: Maintain your passion for the game. Never quit and you 911 be back on top again shortly. Hang in there!
Casper Barrata once again became the best pitcher in the League and remained to be a thorn in our team's side every time he pitched against us.
1、292．Why did the author go to the church?
A．To get married. B．To hold a wedding.
C．To attend a wedding. D．To meet his friend Casper Barrata.
2、294．What can be inferred from the text?
A．The author once fell on hard times pitching.
B．The author once often worked for the Mass.
C．The author once was good at playing softball.
D．The author once taught Casper to play softball.
3、296．What does the underlined sentence show in Paragraph 2?
A．The author was moved by Casper. B．The author wasn't good at speaking.
C．The author admired Casper too much. D．The author didn't recall the letter at all.
4、298．Why did Casper keep the letter for decades?
A．The letter was sent by his best friend.
B．The letter inspired him in his sport career.
C．The letter was written by a softball pitcher.
D．The letter helped him recall something in the past.
