Three Umbrellas
Sally was a college student in London. She wanted to buy her mother a nice and useful birthday present, but not too expensive.
One day after a quick and simple lunch, she went shopping. Having looked for half an hour, she came across a shop selling umbrellas at a good price. So she decided to take one.
She thought, “Mom can carry it when she is wearing clothes of any color.” Then she bought a lovely black umbrella and took it to school with her until her class finished.
On her way home in the train that evening she felt hungry, so she went to the buffet car. She left the black umbrella above her seat. But when she got back, she found it was gone!
Sally burst into tears. The other passengers felt very sorry for her and asked what was wrong. When she explained the black umbrella she had bought for her mother had disappeared, and that she had to get off at the next station, the three other passengers asked her for her mother’s address so that they could send the umbrella to her in case someone returned it after Sally got off the train.
The next week, Sally got a letter from her mother saying “Thank you very much for your lovely presents, but why did you send me three black umbrellas?”

On Nov.18th, 1908, three men went up in a balloon. They started early in London. The headman was Augusta Gaudron, and the other two men were Tannar and Maitland. They had a big balloon and they were ready for a long way.
Soon they heard the sea. They were carrying the usual rope, and it was hanging down from the basket of the balloon. At the end of the rope they had tied a metal box. This could hold water, or it could be empty. So they were able to change its weight. It was for use over the sea. They were also carrying some bags of sand.
After the sun rose, the balloon went higher. It went up to 3,000 meters, and the air was very cold. The water in the balloon became ice. Snow fell past the men’s basket, and they could see more snow on the ground. The men tried to throw out some more sand, but it was hard. They tried to break the icy sand with their knives, but it was not easy. The work was slow and they were still falling, so they had to drop some whole bags of sand. One of them fell on an icy lake and made a black hole in the ice.
At last they pulled the box into the basket. It was still snowing; so they climbed to get away from the snow. They rose to 5,100 meters! Everything became icy. They were so cold that they decided to land. They came down in Poland heavily but safely. They had travelled 1,797 km from London!

After a homeless man offered a college student in England all the money he had so she’d be able to get home safely, the woman is paying it forward—in a massive way.
The story began in early December. It was about 3 a.m. and Harrison-Bentzen was panic. “I came out after a student night out and realized I didn’t have any battery on my phone. I’d lost my friends,” the 22-year-old told BBC Radio 5. She’d also lost her bank card, she discovered, and she had no money.
Just then, a homeless man, known only as Robbie, approached the young woman and asked her if she needed help. He reached into his pocket and pulled out all the money he had—loose change amounting to about $4.60. He insisted that Harrison-Bentzen take it to pay for a taxi so she’d get home safely.
Harrison-Bentzen, a student at the University of Central Lancashire in Preston, England, says she refused to take Robbie’s money and found another way to get home. But following her encounter(偶然相遇)with the generous man, she says she couldn’t get him out of her mind.
For the next few days, the student searched for Robbie, driving around the streets with her mom and using social media in an attempt to locate the man. In that time, Harrison-Bentzen says she learned more about Robbie and discovered that he actually had a reputation for helping strangers.
Finally, after four days of driving around Preston, Harrison-Bentzen found Robbie. She was determined to do something to help change Robbie’s life.
So, earlier this month, the student launched a fundraising campaign in Robbie’s name. She explained that she would be spending 24 hours on the streets, so as to “understand the difficulties” that the homeless face on a daily basis.
Harrison-Bentzen says she had initially(最初)hoped to raise about $780 with her campaign. Her expectations, however, were quickly blown out of the water. As of Thursday morning, 4,800 people have donated almost $50,000.
1.What happened to Harrison-Bentzen in early December?
A. She was robbed by a bad guy.
B. She met with a kind homeless man.
C. She lost everything she had with her.
D. She was injured in a traffic accident
2.Which of the following words can best describe Robbie?
A. Warm-hearted. B. Strange.
C. Clever. D. Hard-working.
3.Why would Harrison-Bentzen be spending 24 hours on the streets?
A. To make her campaign more famous.
B. To raise more money for the homeless.
C. To save the homeless from the difficult life.
D. To experience the homeless people’s life.
4.What can we learn from the text?
A. Harrison-Bentzen accepted Robbie’s help at last.
B. With Robbie’s help, Harrison-Bentzen took a taxi to go home safely.
C. Harrison-Bentzen was a college student when the story was happening.
D. Harrison-Bentzen and her friends spent four days finding Robbie to thank him.
