Is a nearby neighbour better than a faraway cousin? An American lady, Anna Lane, believes it's true. Her kind neighbours once helped her out when she was in a big trouble.
Mrs Lane was living alone in a city in Texas, US. The woman in her 70s could do a lot of housework herself. However, she was too old to mow(修剪) her lawn(草坪). Then a big trouble found her. She let the grass grow over 18 inches high and it broke the law in her city. As a result, she was in danger of paying lots of money or even going to prison! Luckily, her neighbour, the Adams brothers, heard the news about her on TV. They decided to do something to help. “We haven't met her yet, but she's 75 years old and she needs some help.” said Sam Adams, one of the boys. “That's the least we could do.”
The Adams brothers took their mowers(修剪机) and came to Mrs Lane's house to mow her lawn without telling her. Once they got started, other neighbours saw what was going on and joined in the effort.
Together they worked hard in the sun and finished mowing the whole lawn in about two hours. When Mrs Lane saw what her neighbours did for her, she was surprised and moved to tears(感动得落泪). “I cannot believe this,” she said. “They were so kind to spend two hours helping me and I didn't even know their names.” As for the Adams brothers, they said they would always be ready to help her.
1.What can we know about Mrs Lane?
A.She was 70 years old. B.She could not do her housework.
C.She was living with her children. D.She could not cut the grass on the lawn.
2.Mrs Lane was in danger of going to prison because ________.
A.she broke the education law in her city
B.the grass on her lawn was over 18 inches high
