21、   Long time ago, there lived a young boy with a family in a small village. Because there was little water in the village, the boy woke up early every morning, carried his pot and headed for the stream with the aim of fetching water. He loved his family and tried to carry out his task.

On his way back from the stream, he always met some old men who begged for water. This happened almost every time. He always gave them water though he would be punished（惩罚）by his stepmother.

One day, he couldn't stand the punishment from his step mother, so he decided never to give anyone water. But on his way back home, he met a strange-looking man who begged him for water. The strange man lay by the road with an injury（伤）. The boy remembered his vow, but he thought for a moment and then gave the strange man some water.

When he got home, his stepmother noticed the half-filled pot, and again punished him more severely（严厉地）. As she was beating this young boy, there was a knock on the door. It was a mail-deliverer. He came from the town with a letter for the boy. The letter contained a thank-you note with some cash（现金）for the young boy. The writer of the letter said in the letter that he'd have died on the way if not for the boy's kindness.

There is love in sharing and where there is love, there is life. Your everyday good deeds are never in vain for they shall return to you when you are not expecting it.

22、   When my family moved to America from a small village in Guangdong, China, we brought not only our luggage, but also our village rules, customs and culture. One of the rules is that young people should always respect elders. Unluckily, this rule led to my very first embarrassment in the United States. 

I had a part-time job as a waiter in a Chinese restaurant. One time, when I was serving food to a middle-aged couple, the wife asked me how the food could be served so quickly. I told her that I had made sure they got their food quickly because I always respect the elderly. As soon as I said that, her face showed great displeasure. My manager, who happened to hear what I said, took me aside and gave me a long lecture about how sensitive (敏感) Americans are and how they dislike the description "old". I then walked back to the table and apologized to the wife. After the couple heard my reason, they understood that the problem was caused by cultural differences, so they laughed and were no longer angry. 

In my village in China, people are proud of being old. Not so many people live to be seventy or eighty, and people who reach such an age have the most knowledge and experience. Young people always respect older people because they know they can learn from their rich experience.

However, in the United States, people think "growing old" is a problem since "old" shows that a person is going to retire or that the body is not working well. Here many people try to keep themselves away from growing old by doing exercises or jogging, and women put on makeup, hoping to look young. When I told the couple in the restaurant that I respect the elderly, they got angry because this caused them to feel they had failed to stay young. I had told them something they didn't want to hear. 

After that, I changed the way I had been with older people. It is not that I don't respect them anymore; I still respect them, but now I don't show my feelings through words.

【1】Jack brought the couple their food very fast because ________.

A.the manager asked him to do so

B.he respected the elderly

C.the couple wanted him to do so

【2】When Jack called the couple "elderly", they became ________.

A.nervous B.satisfied C.unhappy

【3】In Jack's hometown, ________.

A.people dislike being called "old"

B.people are proud of being old

C.many people reach the age of seventy or eighty

【4】After this experience, Jack ________.

A.changed his way with older people

B.made friends with the couple

C.no longer respected the elderly

【5】Which of the following is TRUE?

A.The more Jack explained, the angrier the couple got.

B.Jack wanted to show his feelings through words after his experience.

C.From this experience, Jack learned more about American culture.

24、   One day, John read an advertisement (广告) in a newspaper. It said, "Wanted. The best salesman in the world." John thought he was a great salesman and went to ask for the job. "I'm the best salesman in the world," he said to the manager, "Give me the job."

"You must prove (证明) you're the best," the manager said.

"OK, I will." John said.

"Good." The manager took several boxes of sweets out of his desk. "Last week I bought a thousand boxes of sweets. If you can sell them all before the end of the week, you can have the job." said the manager.

"That's easy," John said. He took the boxes of sweets and left the office.

Every day and all day he went from shop to shop, trying to sell the sweets. But he couldn't sell one. The sweets were too bad for him to sell. At the end of the week he went back to the manager. "I'm sorry, sir," he said, "I was wrong about myself. I'm not the best salesman in the world, but I know who is."

"Oh," said the manager, "Who?"

"The person who sold you a thousand boxes of the sweets."

【1】John read the advertisement in a newspaper.
