2014年湖南卷高频考点突破测试
I paid no mind to her and 年湖南卷kept hurrying along. Yet, once I entered the temple, her words lingered loudly in my mind, prompting me to question whether there was some truth behind what she had said.
When I stepped outside again, I noticed the old woman still standing close to the shop. So, I handed her two rupees. Later that day, as we returned to our hotel, we spotted her sitting by the roadside, eating her lunch while feeding a little girl dressed in worn-out clothes. Curious, I asked about the child. The woman replied, “Sir, this little girl is new in the city and has not yet learned how to ask for a rupee from the passersby for her meal. She couldn’t manage to get a rupee today, but I had two. That’s why I bought lunch for her using the money I had set aside for my dinner.”
Her generosity stunned me deeply. Reflecting once more on her words, I realized that the price of just two cigarettes could feed two starving people. At that moment, I flicked away my half-smoked cigarette and felt the resolve to quit smoking take hold within me. 🚬✋
