A kind pastor carried her 1 and found a place for her to sit in the back. He also told her they could build a 2 Sunday school by raising money. The pastor didn"t see 3 again until he heard from her parents some two years later. Hattie had sadly died and her parents called for the kind-hearted pastor, who had treated their daughter 4 to handle the final arrangements. As her poor little body was 5 , a worn and wrinkled purse appeared in front of them. Inside was found 57 cents and 6 , reading "This is to help to build the little church bigger 7 more children can go to Sunday school." For two years she had saved for this offering of 8 .

May 11,1934 The first great dust storm of the Great Plains Dust Bowl, the result of years of drought (干旱), blows topsoil all the way to New York City and Washington, D.C.

Even the simplest business such as buying a train ticket requires 1 seven or eight of these. Another 2 of our good manners is the queue. New-comers to Britain could be forgiven for thinking that queuing rather than football was the 3 national sport. Finally, of course, motorists generally stop at crossings. But does all this mean that the British should consider themselves more polite than their European neighbours? I think not. Take forms of address (称呼) for example. The average English person- 4 he happens to work in a hotel or department store-would rather die than call a stranger "Sir" or "Madam". Yet in some European countries this is the most basic of common address. Our 5 "you" for everyone may appear more democratic, but it means that we are forced to seek out complicated ways to express 6 . I am all for returning to the use of "thee" and "thou" (Thee and thou are old-fashioned poetic words for "you"); "you" would be 7 for strangers and professional relationships. And of course, the English find touching and other shows of friendship truly terrifying. Have you noticed how the British 8 ever touch? Personally, I find the Latin habit of shaking hands or a friendly kiss quite charming. Try kissing the average English person, and they will either take two steps backwards in horror ; or, if their escape is 9 , you will find your lips touching the back of their head.
