I told him that even if I could call my wife, she wouldn’t bring him the car key because this was our only car. He handed me with his cell phone, “Calling your wife and tell her I’m going to get the key.” “That’s a ten-miles round trip,” I said. But he told me not worry about it.

文章讲述了作者把钥匙和手机锁在车里，一个陌生男孩帮助回家取钥匙的故事。
1. have—had.考查动词时态。我把钥匙和手机锁在车里了，发生在谓语returned之前，谓语是一般过去时，比它发生的早的用过去完成时，故have—had.
2. The—A.考查冠词。此处指一个骑自行车的青少年遇到我，表示数量一个用不定冠词a，故The—A.
3. embarrassed—embarrassing.考查形容词。embarrassed “尴尬的”用来修饰人；embarrassing表示令人尴尬的，修饰物。此处指我尴尬的境况，修饰物用embarrassing.故embarrassed—embarrassing.
4. him—me.考查代词。句意：即使我能给妻子打电话，她也不能给我带钥匙来，因为这是唯一一辆车。表示给我带钥匙，故him—me.
5.删除with.考查及物动词。句中hand表示递给，是及物动词，后面加双宾语，即hand sb. sth.不用加介词，故删除with.
6. Calling—Call.考查动词形式。此处是祈使句，动词用原形。故Calling—Call.
7. ten-miles—ten-mile.考查形容词。表示10英里可以用ten miles或ten-mile，有连字符号时名词用单数，故ten-miles—ten-mile.
8. not后加to.考查动词形式。表示告诉某人做某事用tell sb.to do sth.用动词不定式，故not后加to.
9. late—later.考查副词。late晚，迟；later稍后，随后。此处指一个小时后，用an hour later, 故late—later.
10. so—but.考查连词。因为这个男孩帮助了我，我给他一些钱，但他拒绝了。前后句是转折关系，不是因果。故so—but.

21. How to Sleep Better
If you’re having trouble getting good sleep through the night (turning, waking up more than once, for example), this text will tell you what you can do to ensure a peaceful night’s sleep.
Get on schedule. Changing your sleeping time by more than an hour can severely disturb your sleep quality 16  For example, if you normally wake up at 6 a.m. on weekdays to get to work, you might go to bed around 10 p.m., because that’s when you start to feel sleepy, and it’s also a good time to ensure 8 hours of sleep. If, on the weekend, you sleep until 9 a.m., you probably won’t be able to fall asleep that night until 1a.m.
17   Wait at least three hours after dinner before going to sleep. Digestion slows down while asleep, and a full stomach may interrupt sleep. Similarly, you should avoid going to bed on an empty stomach, as a completely empty stomach may equally disturb your sleeping patterns.
18  Exposure to light during the time when you’re supposed to be sleeping can disturb your body’s internal clock. Turn your light off, or use a very dim night light, 19  They include windows, LED clocks, computer lights and cable boxes.
Change your sleeping position. You may think that it’s impossible to control what position you sleep in since you aren’t fully aware of what you are doing, but it is possible and it can make a considerable difference. 20
A.    Try to avoid all sources of light.
B.     Keep the room as dark as possible.
C.     Make notes of unusual circumstances.
D.    Be mindful of what you eat or drink before bed.
E.     Sleep is considered to be adequate only when there is no daytime sleepiness.
F.      In other words, sudden change sleeping time will affect your “biological clock”.
G.    If you wake up in the middle of the night, make an effort to have a comfortable posit

22. Today, I felt upset, I decided to take a walk even though I didn’t know where I would go. The most extraordinary thing happened when I was out on this walk. I saw an old man sitting on a chair. He was a seller of second-hand shoes. He seemed so tired and nobody was buying his shoes.
I wanted to give him something but I had not brought anything with me. Then, a little girl came toward him. I heard the child say，’’Grandfather，may I polish your shoes?"

The girl said, MI polish the shoe because I need money to buy my brother a new school uniform.M The old man answered, "Oh, little girl. Just stop doing this. Come with me and I will buy you a uniform.”
Then they walked to a market (I followed behind) and he bought her a uniform. The girl was so happy. She said,MThank you so much for doing this." Then she left, leaving the old man smiling. He walked away from the market, but I stopped him.
I whispered in his ear, "You are a hero! Thank you for your kindness!” As I walked away, I glanced back and I could see him still smiling. I was blown away by the kindness I had just seen. Someone who had so little himself was able to show such incredible generosity! Amazing!
