There's always been a debate on whether human beings are born good or bad.Depending on how you view the world，you can think of all the crimes and injustice and conclude that we're bad，so we need a system of laws to keep us in check.However，there are also a lot of stories of good deeds.I think we're all born good.

Today，I took a trip to South Bend to attend my friends' wedding reception.I had__16__the night before at the forecast and it said we were going to get about 3 inches of snow，so I thought，“That's not so__17__．” I set out on my journey and it was completely clear until I__18__to get towards Niles，M1…

I was__19__with this ominous(不祥的) cloud. I thought to myself，“Hmm，this can't be a good__20__．” Soon enough，the highway became a snow­packed wall of white.I should have remembered that such severe changes in__21__are common in this part of America.I then tried to get to the populous area of South Bend and got__22__in the snow，__23__to turn left onto a street. I__24__for 20 minutes to dig myself out with only a scraper(刮刀)．

It wasn't a very__25__street，so I didn't see many people.Just as I was starting to give up，a few people stopped by my car and then helped push me out of the snow bank.It was one person at first，and then a few others.

Then，on the way to my destination，another lady got stuck.__26__，I got out and was__27__to offer the same help that I had received.At least five others joined me in my__28__to get her car unstuck.It is kind of storm that makes roads undrivable.South Bend__29__up getting over 3 feet of snow.

In these__30__of kindness though，I was once again__31__of my belief that all people are born good.These people didn't have to stop and help me out.They ran the__32__of having their own cars stuck.Even for myself，it was a(n)__33__reaction to get out and push the lady's car out too.I didn't think about it__34__a second.

I believe these situations really helped remind me that this world is a good place.Real life situations can__35__good deeds.It happened today，and it will happen again and again.

These are man-made facts that each group develops over tome, living together, facing the same problems, needing and desiring the same things. They are his culture.

As the United States nears the tenth anniversary of the 9/11 attacks that killed more than 3,000 people, President Obama announced Sunday night that the al Qaeda（基地組織） leader and mastermind of that horrific day, Osama bin Laden, has been killed.
CNN reports that a senior government official confirmed that bin Laden was shot by a small team of U.S. soldiers while in a mansion with family members outside Islamabad（伊斯蘭堡）. His body is now in American custody（拘押） and is being handled according to Islamic customs. Three other adult men were killed in the firefight, including a son of bin Laden's, who was a senior member of the terrorist organization.
"Justice has been done," the president announced, saying that the operation he ordered after receiving intelligence information is "the most significant achievement to date in our nation's effort to defeat al-Qaeda."
The immediate reactions ranged from cautious to ecstatic. Crowds cheered outside the White House. But officials said a "worldwide caution" would be set for Americans in case of al Qaeda retaliation（報(bào)復(fù)）.
Will bin Laden's death be the justice Americans have sought for nearly a decade?
Gordon Felt, president of Families of Flight 93, said it does bring comfort.
"This is important news for us, and for the world. It cannot ease our pain, or bring back our loved ones. It does bring a measure of comfort that the mastermind of the September 11th tragedy and the face of global terror can no longer spread his evil," Felt said.
President Obama says this victory does not close the book.
"His death does not mark the end of our effort. There's no doubt that al Qaeda will continue to pursue attacks against us. We must and we will remain cautious," he noted.
【小題1】The underlined word “ecstatic” most probably means _________.    

A．scaredB．extremely happy and excited
C．doubtfulD．a(chǎn)mazed
【小題2】The author mentions all of the items listed below EXCEPT_________. 
A．Four people were killed in the firefight.
B．Families of the victims in the 9/11 attacks celebrated together.
C．President Obama thought highly of the Anti-Terrorist Military Action
D．Obama thought that al Qaeda will continue attack against the United States.
【小題3】It can be inferred from the text _________. 
A．The 9/11 attacks happened on September 11, 2001.
B．Osama bin Laden has three sons.
C．Some soldiers were injured in the firefight.
D．More than 3000 people were killed in the 9/11 attacks.

C．The United States will make efforts to defeat the al-Qaeda
