24、   During the summer holiday, some students might have been busy with traveling, summer camps and all kinds of courses, but a special group of Chinese middle school students decided to taste the hardship of life outside school.

Twelve students in a big city sold vegetables at a local market together. Within 12 days, they made more than 1,500 yuan. Among them, the oldest is 21 years old, while the youngest is just 10. They are all cousins in a big family and eight of them are from rural areas. "Compared to traveling, such social practice connects us and makes us learn how tough our parents are," said Dalin, 18, to the City Morning Post. Dalin, a senior high graduate, and her 12-year old brother Xiaolin came up with the idea.

They learned to work hard to sell their veggies. Every morning they had to wake up at 3 o'clock. Some of them went to the farmer's market to buy vegetables. Some of them went to the local market to take up a temporary stall (临时摊位). To lower the cost, they learned to bargain (讲价) with the sellers. At about 16:30, they began to sell vegetables. They peddled (吆喝) loudly to attract (吸引) customers. After several days, they got some experience, too. For example, it was better to put vegetables in order and bigger ones on top. When the vegetables are too heavy, they should give customers an extra plastic bag.

When they finally packed up and went home, they had a small meeting. Everyone took notes and shared their feelings. "We are tired," said Dalin, "but we gained a lot."

25、   Mr. Swales was talking about what people did all day. He also wanted to find out what his students wanted to be when they grew up. He called on Billy Mitzer first.

"My daddy works in a bank," Billy Mitzer said. "I guess I want to work in a bank too. There's lots of money in the bank."

"My parents have a store, but I want to be an airline pilot." Emmy DiSalvo said.

He was about to call on Jodie when the girls in the back row burst out laughing.

Shirley yelled, "Jodie's Daddy is a garbageman（ 垃圾清理员）! Pee-yoo!"

Everybody in the class laughed out loud. Everybody except Jodie, that was. She felt her face turn bright red. She looked around the whole classroom. Everyone was laughing. Some kids were even holding their noses.

"It's not funny," Mr. Swales went on. "Garbage is a serious matter. I think you should all apologize to Jodie. And after that, you're all going to write Jodie's father, Mr. Harris, a nice letter to tell him how much you are grateful for what he does for all of us. In other words, keeping our city clean."

Jodie started crying out in the hall. She didn't want to cry in front of everybody, but she couldn't hold back any more. Mr. Swales came to comfort her, "I'm sorry this happened," he said.

"But remember, hard work done well is something to be proud of. There's nothing wrong with being a garbageman, absolutely not."

Then he added, "Although garbage is…dirty, every day garbegemen collect the dirty and smelly garbage and throw it in the truck. Then everything's nice and clean. Isn’t that something we  should be proud of?"

Hearing this, Jodie swept the tears in her eyes and a smile appeared on her face. “I get it, Mr.Swale.” Then she went back to the class and said proudly.

26、   I was inspired by a video of a young Pakistani man. He celebrated his 22nd birthday with 22 random acts of kindness. I mentioned to my daughter Tamara that I'd like to copy the young man's idea for my upcoming 55th birthday in December. She agreed and so we decided to make it happen the next day.

We wore clumsy reindeer antlers (鹿角) to make people smile, placed cheerful stickers on the shirts of children, cleaned up a park, and passed out delicious Mexican hot chocolate to those in the park-many of whom appeared homeless.

At the end of the day, we passed out carnation flowers (康乃馨) in a retirement home after their dinner. At first, I found myself questioning my motivation and how it would be received. It turned out that the local Unity Church had a large group there at the same time singing to the people living in the home.

At first, I was surprised how almost every man enjoyed receiving a flower, not only from Tamara, but also from such an old man as me. Then, I found myself giving the women longer caring hugs. One commented that she had not been hugged like that for years. Then my heart was permanently touched when another woman told me that she had not been hugged like that by a man for five decades!

I didn't count the number of kind acts we did that day, and neither do I count that birthday as one of the good ones. Without doubt, I KNOW it was my best!

【1】How did the author decide to celebrate his birthday?

A.To go abroad for sightseeing.

B.To perform some kind acts for others.

C.To make some chocolate himself.

D.To record a piece of video about his life.

【2】What's the author's concern at the retirement home?

A.The old females there wouldn't like carnation flowers.

B.His daughter wouldn't be willing to hug the old men there.

C.People there might feel tired after the church singing.

D.People there might reject the kindness from him and Tamara.

【3】Which of the following can best describe the author?

A.Caring and thoughtful. B.Curious and generous.

C.Modest and friendly. D.Polite and careful.

27、Every year thousands of people get hurt or lose their lives when they are crossing the road. Most of them are old people and children.
