In the animal kingdom, weakness can bring about aggression in other animal. This sometimes happens with humans also. But I have found that my weakness brings out the kindness in people. I see it every day when people hold doors for me, pour cream into my coffee, or help me to put on my coat. And I have discovered that it makes them happy.
From my wheelchair experience, I see the best in people, but sometimes I feel sad because those who appear independent miss the kindness I see daily. They don't get to see this soft side of others. Often, we try every way possible to avoid showing our weakness, which includes a lot of pretending. But only when we stop pretending we're brave or strong do we allow people to show the kindness that's in them.
Last month, when I was driving home on a busy highway, I began to feel unwell and drove more slowly than usual. People behind me began to get impatient and angry, with some speeding up alongside me, horning (按喇叭) or even shouting at me. At the moment I decided to do something I had never done in twenty-four years of driving. I put on the car flashlights and drove on at a really low speed.
No more angry shouts and no more horns!
When I put on my flashlights, I was saying to other drivers, "I have a problem here. I am weak and doing the best I can." And everyone understood. Several times, I saw drivers who wanted to pass. They couldn't get around me because of the stream of passing traffic. But instead of getting impatient and angry, they waited, knowing the driver in front of them was in some way weak.
Sometimes situations call for us to act strong and brave even when we don't feel that way. But those are few and far between. More often, it would be better if we don't pretend we feel strong when we feel weak or pretend that we are brave when we are scared.

参考译文

在动物王国里，虚弱可能会引起其他动物的挑衅。有时这也会发生在人身上。但是，我发现我的虚弱却反映出人善良的一面。每天，我都能看到人们给我拉着门，给我的咖啡里加奶油，或是帮我穿外套。同时，我也发现这样做让他们很开心。
我从坐轮椅的经历中看到了人们内心的善良。但是，有时我也会感到悲伤，因为那些看起来独立自主的人们没有意识到我日常所见的善意。他们没有意识到他人仁厚的一面。通常，我们会尝试一切可能的方法来遮掩我们的虚弱，这就包括许多伪装。但是，只有当我们不再假装很坚强很勇敢的时候，我们才允许人们表现出他们内在的善意。
上个月，我驾车回家，当车子行驶在繁忙的高速公路上时，我开始觉得不舒服，开车的速度也比平时慢了许多。紧跟在我后面的人们开始失去耐心，并且变得很生气。他们加速行驶到我的车旁，朝我按喇叭，甚至冲我吼叫。那一刻，我决定做我驾驶24年来从未做过的事。我打开车子的警示灯，以十分缓慢的速度行驶。
（奇怪地是）没有咆哮也没有喇叭轰鸣！
当我打警示灯的时候，我是在对其他的驾驶员说：“在这里，我遇到了一些麻烦，虽然我很虚弱但是我会尽全力驾车。”随后，每个人都表示理解。有好几次，我都看到其他驾驶员想要超过去。可是来往车流多，他们没有办法绕过我。但是他们并没有失去耐心，也没有生气，相反，他们耐心等待，因为他们知道前面的驾驶员很虚弱。
有时形势所迫，我们必须表现得坚强勇敢，哪怕是我们并不那么想的时候。但是这些并不常见。更多的时候，如果我们在脆弱的时候不假装坚强，在受伤的时候不假装勇敢，也许会更好。

答案解析

26. A 细节理解题。由第一段最后两句话可知，作者经常得到别人的帮助，而他同时也发现，当别人给予自己帮助的时候，其实他们自己也感到很高兴。由此可知，A项正确。
27. D 细节理解题。根据第二段第一句话的后一分句可知，作者有时候感到难过的是，有些完全独立的人，反而不像自己这个坐在轮椅上的人那样可以感受到别人的善意。由此可知，D项正确。
28. B 细节理解题。由第四、五段内容可知，当作者将车上的闪光信号灯打开时，后面那些原本很不耐烦的司机便都意识到他遇到问题了，便都不再急躁，而是耐心地等待。即B项正确。
29. C 推理判断题。根据文章第三段至第五段作者的亲身经历，再结合文章最后一句话可知，作者想要告诉我们的是：生活中，有时我们需要表现得坚强，但是更多的时候我们却很有必要将自己脆弱的一面告诉別人，因为只有这样人们才可以帮助我们。因此C项正确。
30. B 标题判断题。通读全文可知，作者通过一次亲身经历告诉我们，有时候我们需要让别人了解我们需要帮助，这样人们便会表现出他们善意的一面。由此可知，B项作标题最贴切。
