海淀区2015高考英语阅读理解训练（12）（答案）
【2015高考复习】阅读理解
A mother was devastated，crying，yelling all she can in that dark corner.There was nobody to hear her yell and not a soul to calm her，because outside her house is a long winding lonely road.The wind was at rest and the leaves didn't rustle，silence filling the air.Loneliness was already killing her，but no one knows what made her cry!
Losing something you love with all your heart isn't really
the pain you can ever overcome.Radha lost her baby，her only means
to live.She saw her child getting killed and the accident was
terrible.One lonely night，she was walking down the street to
get a breath of fresh air with her child hugged tight in her arms.
The whole time she walked with her child in her arms，the only thing that worried her was Aryan's future.She was imagining and feeling every day of the child's growth，and figuring what she would have in store for him.But who knows what's in store for us tomorrow，life can change in a second.
On that deserted road，were a few streetlights barely enough？It was this light that could be seen from a disktan ce，but as it came closer it got brighter and brighter.That light changed Radha's life into darkness forever.A speeding car came down that road.The driver came at a speed of 110 kmph throwing beer bottles out of his half open window.He was definitely drunk，and the speed took everything in its path.Just then，there was a loud cry，and silence set in again.
But the mother wasn't hurt.She opened her eyes，unable to focus her eyes，and didn't see Aryan.After a few minutes when her sight cleared up she looked all over in a panic for her baby，but alas...The child hadn't even seen life.
Simply，don't drink and drive.You_could_take_a_life，but_kill_a_number_of_p eople.

It’s easy to see how to help others, but what about those whose needs aren’t so obvious? This story may have happened a while back, but it was a lesson which has stayed with me and helped me ever since.
It was Thanksgiving and I was volunteering with my parents at a shelter for the poor. We stood behind the counter dishing out hot fo od to whoever came in. most of our dinners looked like they had been having hard times, their clothes old, worn and dry. In shot, they looked poor!
