One day, I was walking with my daughter, and we saw a man picking bottles out of garbage cans (垃圾
箱). He did not ask us for spare 1 , like others had before him. My 10-year-old daughter asked 2 he was
doing that, as he appeared to be unclean and possibly 3 . I told her he had his dignity (尊严), and was doing
what he could to help 4 . My daughter had a 2-dollar 5 I had given her, and she told me she 6 to give
her money to this man 7 she thought he needed it more than she 8 . I agreed. We are on welfare (福利救
济), 9 we have a place to live, and food to eat. So we followed the man 10 the local store, where he sold
his bottles and cans. My daughter 11 up to him and gave him the coin. He 12 us loudly as we left the store,
and 13 God to bless us.
The kindness was 14 to my daughter. When she got to the 15 a couple of months later, she 16 she had
left her 17 at home and it happened that I had not taken my purse along, 18 . Then a lady noticed us and saw
how 19 my daughter was. The lady gave her the money to go to swimming. Surprisingly, it was 2 dollars,
which was the 20 amount as that she had given to the man on the street. |

inn at the foot of a hill. One year, however, Mr. Smith made a lot of money in his business, so they decided
to go to London and stay at a really good hotel while they went t turning around that famous city.
They flew to London and arrived at their hotel late one evening. They expected that they would have to
go bed hungry, because in that small inn in New Jersey, no meals served after seven. They were therefore
surprised when the man who received them in the hall asked whether they would take dinner there that night.
"Are you still serving dinner?" asked Mr. Smith.
"Yes,certainly, sir," answered the man. "We serve it until half past nine."
"What are the times of meals then?" asked Mr. Smith.
"Well, sir," answered the man. "We sever breakfast from seven to half past eleven in the morning, lunch
from twelve to three in the afternoon, tea from four to five, and dinner from six to half past nine."
"But that hardly leaves any time for us to see the sights of London!" said Mrs. Smith. | | 1. Mr. and Mrs. Smith had _____ in the past. | | [ ] | A. often stayed in a quite good hotel

D. good night | | 阅读理解。 | When my father was getting ready for work, our house was ruled by knocks and words. He used to come
downstairs to breakfast.
The morning paper lay beside his plate. He always read the"Deaths"first; and then he knocked once on the
table. One of my sisters brought his toast (烤面包片), already buttered for him. Usually he said nothing, but
once I heard him say, "I love you very much, Edith. I would love you more if you buttered my toast on both
sides." He read the paper all through breakfast.
Two knocks on the table meant "I am ready for my tea". If a single knock followed, that meant "More toast,
please." After breakfast he said, "Boots." The paper was spread (展开) for him over the back of an armchair.
Yesterday"s paper was put on the chair for his feet, and his boots were brought to him, freshly cleaned. He
read standing, at the same time putting on his boots and tying the laces (鞋带). With one boot finished, he
said, "Bus."
At that point one of the girls went outside to the garden gate and waited there. Her job was to stop the bus
when it came. It came early sometimes, and it had to wait for my father. "Overcoat, hat." One of my sisters
had already brushed his overcoat. Now she held it open for him and guided his arms into it. Then she pulled
his jacket down under the coat. Another girl came with his hat, nicely brushed. "Handkerchief, pipe." They
were brought and put, with his tobacco, into his pockets. He looked out of the window and said either
"Walking stick" or "Umbrella". It was handed to him. Ready now, he was still reading the paper.
He did not put it down until he heard the shout "Bus coming!" Then he kissed my mother and went out.
The girls breathed freely.
