Many years ago, when we were a young couple with two small children, aged 2 and 4, we were practically impecunious. My parentsinlaws lived from hand to mouth, so we didn't expect any help from them. My parents lived a great distance away, and I was too ashamed to let them know about our situation.
My husband was trying to earn a living with an old pickup truck, carrying groceries for local shopkeepers, but it was constantly breaking down. It took almost all the money we had to have it fixed. The truck was also the only means of transportation for us.
We lived in the countryside, and we always used the back door because the driveway led to it. One winter evening, I stepped outside to take a bag of trash to the barrel and almost tripped over something. It was nearly dark, and I had to bend down to see what it was. I could hardly believe my eyes. There sat a large basket loaded with food.
It was heavy, so I called my husband to carry it into the house. Once inside, we discovered two loaves of bread, some butter, several cans of vegetables, a can of orange sauce, and a large turkey. There was so much that I couldn't remember it all, but it was everything we needed to fix a wonderful dinner — everything except potatoes.
A little while later I remembered that I hadn't taken the trash to the barrel. By now it was dark, so I had to turn on the yard light — and that's when I spotted a small bag of potatoes sitting on the porch.
That dinner was the best I could remember.
We weren't able to thank our donators, though, because we never found out who had been so generous in helping a struggling young family. Whoever it was, we are forever grateful.
1.Which of the following can replace the underlined word “impecunious” in Paragraph 1?
A. Generous. B. Cautious
C. Stubborn. D. Penniless.
2.How did the author's husband support the family?
A. By selling food door to door. B. By delivering goods.
C. By starting a garage. D. By working as a shop assistant.
3.How did the author feel when she saw the basket?
A. She was annoyed. B. She was terrified.
C. She was astonished. D. She felt a sense of relief.
4.What may be the best title for the text?
A. A struggling young couple B. A tale of potatoes
C. A helping hand in time D. A reward from a stranger

Two weeks ago, Ray Johnstone, an elderly man living alone in South Australia, posted a classified advertisement in search of a friend. Specifically, he was on the hunt for a fishing partner, as he no longer had anyone to share his hobby with. “I’m a widowed retired man who is looking for a fishing mate,” he wrote on Gumtree, “My fishing mate is now deceased. He will never accompany me to go fishing. I am a land-based fisherman. I have all the gear for all types of fish that is required for land-based fishing.”
Like all of us, 22-year-old Mati Batsinilas was touched by the man’s advertisement, so he reached out to him and arranged an outing. Rather than simply spend the day with Johnstone somewhere local, however, he and his family offered to take him on an all-inclusive weekend fishing trip of Stradbroke Island in Queensland. And, as expected, they had a good time. “While on the island we covered four-wheel driving, site-seeing, fishing, swimming, chats with the locals and the best of all... just relaxing and chatting like mates,” Batsinilas wrote in a Facebook post. “Once you reach a level of maturity in life, age should only be a number. My respect for Johostone is obviously very high, but I treated him exactly the way I would have treated one of my 22-year-old mates.”
Fortunately, it sounds like Johnstone won't have to place more classified advertisements any time soon. In addition to finding a friend, the pensioner has become a star on the Internet, with many social media users voicing their interests in meeting the now-famous fisherman.
1.What was the aim of Ray Johnstone’s posting a classified advertisement?
A. He wanted to sell all his tools.
B. He wanted to show off his excellent fishing skills.
C. He wanted to find a friend to go fishing with.
D. He wanted to find a friend to sell all his caught fish.
2.What does the underlined word “deceased” in the first paragraph mean?
A. ill B. unfriendly
C. angry D. dead
3.What was Mati Batsinilas’ attitude towards Ray Johnstone?
A. He thought Johnstone was too old to go fishing with.
B. He treated Johnstone like a senior citizen and took him to travel.
C. He thought his father would make friends with Johnstone.
D. He treated the old man as a friend of the same age.
4.What will happen after Ray Johnstone posted the classified advertisement?
A. There will be no advertisements for friends-hunting on the internet.
B. More people will go online to read his latest information.
C. More people will come to make friends with Ray Johnstone.
D. Ray Johnstone will regret what he did on the Internet and move away.
