3、n, meat or shrimp. This has become an almost­daily occurrence.Communication between my benefactor(恩人) and me is somewhat handicapped by the fact that she doesnt speak English and all I can say in Mandarin is “ hello”. Once, she brought an iPad and pointed to the screen, which displayed a messag

4、e from Nicole telling me that her mother wanted to know if the food was all right.“Your mother just cant be bringing me meals like this all the time，” I protested. “ I can hardly reciprocate by cooking something from my native land, like roast beef or Yorkshire pudding for her, ”I said.“Oh, no，” Nic

5、ole said. “Dont worry about that. She has to cook for the family anyway, and she wants to do it for you.

But the doorbell keeps ringing and there is the familiar paper carrier bag, handed smilingly to me by Wing. Right no

11、news. However, if the exhausted runner had the misfortune to bring the pharaoh unhappy news, his head was cut off.Shades of that spirit spread over todays conversations. Once a friend and I packed up some peanut butter and sandwiches for an outing. As we walked light­heartedly out of the door,

12、picnic basket in hand, a smiling neighbor looked up at the sky and said, “Oh boy, a bad day for a picnic.

14、). Everyone must give bad news from time to time, and big winners do it with the proper attitude. A doctor advising his patient that she needs an operation does it in a caring way.

15、 bad news, they should share the feeling of the receiver.Unfortunately, many people are not aware of this.

22、iling neighbor looked up at the sky and said.I wanted to strike him on the face with the peanut butter and sandwiches.”以及最后一段中的“Had my neighbor told me of the upcoming rainstorm with sympathy, I would have appreciated his warning.”可知，“我”認(rèn)為鄰居沒有同情心，不能為別人考慮。故選B項(xiàng)。C(2019·山西太原高三模擬) At 39 weeks pregna
