I was parking at a hiking road when a man in the car next to mine looked out and started to ask me for help. “No ___41____ .” I told him, as I was willing to help anyone in ___42___ . It turned out that his battery was ___43___ and no one would help jump to start his car!
I ___44___ him if he had cables (缆绳), which he did, and in less than five ___45___ I gave him a jump start and his car ___46___ at the drop of a hat. He thanked me and asked “How much do I ___47___ you” and I looked at him in 48 and said “Not a thing!”
He said “You won’ t believe it ___49___ I’ve been sitting here for so long and I asked at least three people to ___50___ me and no one would do it”. That made me really ___51___ . I was thinking that perhaps because of how he ___52___ , his background, or whatever, ___53___ might think he was going to ask them for ___54___ or something and just automatically said “no” without even ___55___ that they could help him so ___56___ . He also told me that one man ___57___ him “My battery is old so it can’ t help you”.
I was ___58___ that the battery is like the love in our hearts. We get ___59___ more if we give it away to others! And it doesn’t ___60___ our hearts to give. I’m happy that I charged his battery and he charged my “battery” with love. I got much more than he offered to me.

In the fall of 1924 Thomas Wolfe, fresh from his courses in play writing at Harvard joined the eight or
ten of us who were teaching English composition in New York University. I had never before seen a man
so tall as he, and so ugly. I pitied him and went out of my way to help him with his work and make him
feel at home.
His students soon let me know that he had no need of my protectiveness. They spoke of his ability to
explain a poem in such a manner as to have them shouting with laughter or struggling to keep back
their tears, of his readiness to quote in detail from any poet they could name.
Indeed, his students made so much of his power of observation that I decided to make a little test and
see for myself. My chance came one morning when the students were slowly gathering for nine o‘clock
classes.
Upon arriving at the university that day, I found Wolfe alone in the large room which served all the
English composition teachers as an office. He did not say anything when I asked him to come
with me out into the hall, and he only smiled when we reached a classroom door and I told him
to enter alone and look around.
He stepped in, remained no more than thirty seconds and then came out. “Tell me what you see.”
I said as I took his place in the room, leaving him in the hall with his back to the door. Without the
least hesitation and without a single error, he gave the number of seats in the room, pointed out
those which were taken by boys and those occupied by girls, named the colors each student was
wearing, pointed out the Latin verb written on the blackboard, spoke of the chalk marks which the
cleaner had failed to wash from the floor, and pictured in detail the view of Washington Square from
the window.
As I rejoined Wolfe, I was speechless with surprise. He, on the contrary, was wholly calm as he
said, “The worst thing about it is that I‘ll remember it all.”
What is the passage mainly discussing?
A. Thomas Wolfe‘s teaching work.
B. Thomas Wolfe‘s course in playwriting.
C. Thomas Wolfe‘s ability of explaining.
D. Thomas Wolfe‘s genius.
A.interested in
B.good at
