11、We could all say that we have bad days as we go through life, but what does it take to have a really good day?
I remember a day recently when I had to go to the 1 for special tests because I wasn’t feeling well and my doctor sent me to a specialist to try and find the cause of my illness.
As I 2 to the hospital, I was feeling sad and certainly wasn’t on top of my game. As I got to the hospital, I began my 3 for a parking lot. I finally found one not too far from the entrance to the hospital.
As I got out and brought my change out of my pocket, I noticed a man looking a little 4 standing in front of a parking meter (停车记时收费表) two cars away. He seemed to be searching his pockets for what I supposed were 5 for the meter.

I asked him if he had a problem I could help with. He said that he had no coins at all because he was only thinking about visiting his sick wife when he left his house.
I reached into my pocket and 8 out two dollars and gave it to him without saying a word. And, without waiting for a reply, I turned on my heel and said to him as I was walking away: “Have a good day.”

I was walking away when he called out: “Thank you so much.” You know, I didn’t even 9 him to say anything. He didn’t have to say a word to me.

You know, it doesn’t take much to help someone else.

13、When our son Bradley was ten, the new bicycle he had received earlier that year was stolen. Owning a bicycle was a big deal to our children when they were little. They spent hours and hours, day after day, on their bicycles, riding up and down the footpath, and at the front of the house. We also rode together as a family a lot. Bicycling was a great way to get the kids out of the house and into the fresh air without spending any money.
Bradley had discovered that his bicycle had been stolen from our backyard in Campbelltown, South Australia, when he and his sister went outside for a morning ride. He couldn't believe that someone would do this.
He got a large piece of cardboard, painted a sign begging for the bicycle to be returned, and tied the sign to the letterbox. The following morning, when I went out to collect the mail, I found a white envelope with the magical words, "Buy yourself a new bicycle", There was a $100 banknote inside.
We were very touched that someone had the heart to do this. We’ve never been able to thank the person but we suspect(猜想)that it may have been one of our wonderful neighbors, Bradley painted a big “____▲______!” on the sign and we left it outside for a couple of weeks afterwards, hoping the kind stranger would drive down our street.
A delighted Bradley was able to buy a new bicycle. As the years went on, the bicycles became bigger and more expensive but remained just as important for those family bicycle rides, Now Bradley is 25. Sometimes I miss the days when receiving a bicycle was the best thing in the world to them.
All these years later we are still thankful for the strangers kindness. We were a young family with three little children and it meant a lot to us. We still talk about it and, even now, wonder who the kind stranger was.

14、 When tea was first brought to England between 1652 and 1654, it was so expensive that only the rich could buy it. It was said that an old couple had some sent to them as a great treat. But they did not know how it should be used. Finally they boiled(煮沸) the leaves, put some of them on a piece of bacon(咸肉) for dinner, ate the leaves, and threw the tea soup away. However, tea quickly proved popular enough to replace ale(麦芽酒) as the national drink of England after King Charles II and his Portuguese wife began to follow this foreign tea tradition.
Before the introduction of tea into Britain, the English had two main meals — breakfast and dinner. Breakfast was ale, bread and beef. Dinner was a long, big meal at the end of the day. It was no wonder that Anna, the Duchess of Bedford (1788—1861) experienced a ＂sinking feeling＂ in the late afternoon. So she invited friends to join her for an extra afternoon meal at five o’clock in her castle. The menu centered around small cakes, bread and butter sandwiches, and, of course, tea. This summer practice proved so popular that the Duchess continued it when she returned to London, sending cards to her friends asking them to join her for ＂tea and a walking the fields＂.
The practice of inviting friends to come for tea in the afternoon was quickly picked up by other social hostesses. A common form of service soon came into practice. The first pot of tea was made in the kitchen and carried to the lady of the house who waited with her invited guests, surrounded by fine china from China. The first pot was warmed by the hostess from a second bottle (usually silver) that was kept heated over a small fire. Food and tea was then passed among the guests, the main purpose of the visiting being conversation.
1．The story of the old couple in Paragraph 1 is to show ____________.
A．how impolite the old couple were
B．how English people cooked tea
C．how difficult it was to introduce tea to England
D．how little English people knew about tea in those days
2．The underlined phrase ＂sinking feeling＂ in Paragraph 2 means a feeling of _________.
A．hunger B．loneliness C．thirst D．anger
3．Which statement is right according to the passage?
A．Tea was first introduced to England in the 16th century.
B．Ale was the national drink of England after King Charles II.
C．The habit of drinking tea in Britain came from the upper class.
D．Anna, the Duchess of Bedford first served afternoon tea in London.
4．We can know from the passage that afternoon tea ____________.
A．helps raise the price of tea and china in England
B．leads to the wide planting and large production of tea in England
C．is not only an extra afternoon meal but helps bring people together
D．helps bring King Charles II and his wife together in their childhood

17、Have you ever read stories of Sherlock Holmes---a famous detective? Here is one of his cases.
Stapleton, Charles’ younger brother, found that he would inherit (继承) the Baskerville lands if Charles and his nephew(侄子) ---Henry both died.
Charles who had a weak heart believed super natural stories. After knowing this, Stapleton had the idea of buying a huge hound, and of using the phosphorus(磷) to make it shine like the hound in one story.
Then Stapleton asked his friend Laura to write a letter to bring Charles to the moor gate on that sad night. The hound, which was shining with phosphorus, chased Charles down the Yew Alley. Charles’ fear was so great that his weak heart stopped, and he died but the animal did not touch the dead body. There was no sign of murder. It was difficult for Holmes to find the murderer.
Two weeks later, Stapleton learned that Henry had reached England. He took his wife and the hound with him. He wore a false beard and followed Henry in London. He wanted to use the same way to murder
