One day while driving from my home to work, I noticed a car in front of me had a wobbly(不穩(wěn)定的)wheel. It was clear that the wheel had been changed recently and had not been fixed correctly. On a slow road this would not show much of a problem but 1 knew a highway was coming soon. There the traffic would move much faster and the driver would be in danger 25 the wheel could come off at that speed.

I was driving a large jeep at the time and the car in front was a small one driven by a young lady on her own. So as I tried to flash (閃) my lights and wave her to pull over, I was worried that she wouldn't pull over on the road side when she found in her mirror a single man chasing(追)her down in a jeep and waving for her to pull over.

Thankfully she trusted more in the good nature of people and pulled over where I could explain the problem. She said the wheel was changed only the night before and that she would pull into the nearest garage (修車間) where the repairman had tools to fix the wheel correctly.

My belief is that the act of kindness was hers but not mine. How so? Well, it was she who chose to believe in the possibility that people are good over the belief that bad things would come from being waved over to the side of the road by strangers.

I am glad I was able to wave her down in time and so a serious accident might have been avoided. But I am even happier that she believed in a stranger

2.Why did the lady pull over on the road side?

A.the writer often went to work by car B.the lady was too poor to buy a new car

C.something was wrong with the lady's car D.accidents usually happen on that road

4.What would be the best title for the passage?

A.Trusting in the Kindness of Strangers B.A Wobbly Whee of a Car

Can you speak English? Maybe you know a lot of English words. You can read, speak and understand English, but there is another kind of language—the language of the body. All over the world, people “talk” with their hands, their heads, and their eyes. When Japanese people meet, they bow. When Indians meet, they put their hands together. When British and American people meet someone for the first time, they shake hands. They do not usually shake hands with their friends. Women sometimes kiss their women friends, and men kiss women friends on the cheek(臉頰). When a man meets a man friend, he just smiles, and says “Hello”. Men do not kiss each other, or hold hands. Even fathers and sons do not often kiss each other.

Months ago, the Chinese government allowed primary and high school students to have a spring or autumn break.

Now most Chinese students only have holidays in summer and winter. During the holidays, some students stay at home doing their homework. Others travel with their family. How do kids in the US and UK spend their holidays? Let's take a look.

US

* Summer holiday: mid-June — early September

* Christmas holiday: mid-December — early January

* Spring break: usually a 10-day holiday in mid-March

Summer camp is one of kids’ favorite places to go. There, they can make new friends. They can also take part in some interesting activities like archery (射箭) and sailing. This helps them learn teamwork.

Spring break can be a great time to travel. Middle school students usually travel with their parents. Beaches are one of their favorites.

UK

* Summer holiday: late July — September

* Christmas holiday: mid-December — early January

* Easter holiday: late March — mid-April

British children like one-day trips during the summer holiday. They can visit museums, sports stadiums and castles.
