(2014·重庆，阅读理解A篇)
I was never very neat, while my roommate Kate was extremely organized. Each of her objects had its place, but mine always hid somewhere. She even labeled (贴标签 ) everything. I always looked for everything. Over time, Kate got neater and I got messier. She would push my dirty clothing over, and I would lay my books on her tidy desk. We both got tired of each other.
War broke out one evening. Kate came into the room. Soon, I heard her screaming, “Take your shoes away! Why under my bed！” Deafened, I saw my shoes flying at me. I jumped to my feet and started yelling. She yelled back louder.
The room was filled with anger. We could not have stayed together for a single minute but for a phone call. Kate answered it. From her end of the conversation, I could tell right away her grandma was seriously ill. When she hung up, she quickly crawled (爬 ) under her covers, sobbing.Obviously, that was something she should not go through alone. All of a sudden, a warm feeling of sympathy rose up in my heart.
Slowly, I collected the pencils, took back the books, made my bed, cleaned the socks and swept the floor, even on her side. I got so into my work that I even didn't notice Kate had sat up. She was watching, her tears dried and her expression one of disbelief. Then, she reached out her hands to grasp mine. I looked up into her eyes. She smiled at me. “Thanks.”
Kate and I stayed roommates for the rest of the year. We didn't always agree, but we learned the key to living together: giving in cleaning up and holding on.

(2014·淮安市涟水中学高一段测)
Morgan was born with one kidney(肾) which couldn't work normally. While getting together with some close friends, Morgan told them about this.
After knowing that he was a match, Perry offered to give his kidney to Morgan. In an email before the surgery (手术), Perry said, “ I have been friends with Morgan since college and seen him go through some hard times.”
Perry did not tell many people about the surgery, just his family.
“I think a lot of people need to see this as an example，” his sisterinlaw Sue Volikas said, “It's important for students to know that they could be called upon at any time and be open and willing.”
However, Perry never acted as if the transplant (移植) was out of the ordinary. “Perry was very calm and relaxed all the time，” Morgan said.
Still, to Perry, the decision just made sense. He said, “I know it is a big surgery, and there are some risks, but if I can help a friend live a healthy life, it is worth it.”
Morgan said that his kidney was working great after the surgery.
Perry and Morgan influenced(影响) not only each other's lives through this act but also their families and friends. “It's so great that he did this and that he doesn't think anything of it. I don't even know what I would do in that situation，” Perry's elder sister said. “It makes everyone stop and wonder, ‘Would I do that？’”
