Question

My brother and I often fight with each other over small things. One day our father said to us, “Tomorrow we will take part in the Ray Home Sports Day. Both of you must go with me. Perhaps you can learn something from those children.” My brother laughed, “Dad, Ray is a home for physically disabled children. What can we learn from them?”

   “You will see,” our father said.

   Our father works as a volunteer at Ray. The children there have problems with their hands, speech, walking or hearing. Every day, he spends hours helping them to move or exercise their legs or arms.

   The following day, he took us to Ray Home. When we got there, we found a nice place to sit down. Finally, the sports began. There was a 50-meter race to see who could run fastest. All the runners were physically disabled. As the race started, all the children moved as fast as they could. Just then, one of the girls fell over and hurt her leg. She began to cry at the top of her voice.

   All the children stopped to help the poor girl. Then they all held hands and finished the race together. My brother and I were surprised to see this: the children weren’t interested in winning the race－they were more interested in helping each other to finish the race.

試題分析：短文大意：我和我弟弟經常打架，父親決定帶我們去觀看殘疾人比賽，所有的參賽者都是身體殘疾。當比賽始，所有的孩子都盡可能快跑。就在這時，一個女孩摔倒了，她的腿受傷了。所有的孩子都停下來幫助這個可憐的女孩。然后他們一起手牽著手，一起完成比賽。我的兄弟和我很驚訝地看到：孩子們沒有贏得比賽但他們互相幫助完成比賽更感興趣。
