Many years ago, I owned a service station (加油站) and roadhouse on the main road between Melbourne and Adelaide.

One very cold wet night at about 3:30 a.m., there was a ______ on the front door of our house. A young man, wet from head to toe, explained that he had ______ out of petrol (汽油) and left his pregnant (懷孕) wife and his two children ______ in the car. He said that he would hitchhike (搭便車) back.

Once I had ______ a can with petrol, I took him back to his car. When we got there, his 2-year-old and 4-year-old children were both crying. I invited them to my house. I had turned the heater on in the roadhouse ______ I left, so when we went in, it was nice and warm. And then I prepared bread and butter for the ______. and hot chocolate for the adults.

It was about 5 a.m. before they left. The young fellow asked me ______ he owed me and I told him that the petrol pump (加油泵) had shown $15.

About a month later, I ______ a letter from Interstate, a large bus company that we had been trying to get to stop off at our roadhouse for a long time. It ______ that the young fellow was its general manager.

In his letter, he thanked me again and informed me that, from then on, all their ______ would stop at my service station. In this case, a little bit of kindness was rewarded (報(bào)答) with a huge amount of benefits (益處).

Everyone must have given gifts to others. Do you know that the tradition of giving gifts didn’t start with the modem holidays we celebrate?1..

In many countries, gifts were traditionally wrapped (包裹). If gifts weren’t wrapped, much of the fun would be gone. 2., the surprise would be lost. So the wish to hid the gift led people to wrap their gifts. Historians believed wrapping gifts in paper probably started not long after paper was invented thousands of years ago.

3.. More than 100 years ago, gifts were usually wrapped in heavy brown paper. Before that, cloth was often used. With the development of technology, wrapping paper was produced in the early 1900s. However, it wasn’t as easy to wrap gifts as it is today. That’s because adhesive tape (膠帶）wasn’t invented until 1928.

Now lots of waste was produced over the holidays because of wrapping paper. To solve the problem, some people carefully open gifts so that the wrapping paper can be used again. 4.. And some homemade wrapping paper, which is treasured as much as the gift itself.

A. It is fun for receivers to guess what the gift is

B. If the receivers could see what the gift was at once

C. Many ancient people celebrated holidays by exchanging gifts

D. Some people use special gift bags instead of wrapping paper

E. But wrapping paper like what we use today was a recent invention

A. It is fun for receivers to guess what the gift is
