When Joshua Coombes got off the bus in Washington, D.C., on this past February, he didn’t set off for the usual tourist attractions along the National Mall. Instead, the London-based hairdresser (理发师) headed for the marble fountain where homeless people gather outside. Most travellers walk by without a second glance. So what Coombes did next may well have surprised them: He chatted with them, pulled out his scissors and gave them haircuts, free of charge.

Whether in London, New York or Washington, D.C., homelessness can seem like a problem too huge and difficult to deal with. But Coombes realised that he didn’t have to solve all of everyone’s problems to make an impact. Sometimes, a small luxury such as a haircut can go a long way in boosting someone’s dignity, he told The Washington Post.

Two years ago, he founded the campaign Do Something For Nothing. His mission: to make a positive impact by giving haircuts to homeless people he meets on city streets, connecting with them on a human level and sharing their stories on social media. So far he has cut the hair of hundreds of homeless people, including a few women.

For Coombes, the campaign is about the importance of human connections. He wants to bring people together, regardless of what their relations are, and he sees the simple act of conversation as a step toward strengthening ties between people. In an age when virtual interactions can replace a real sense of community, Coombes finds haircuts to be a simple but important way to connect with people physically and emotionally.

Coombes’s world travels are partially funded through companies and NGOs that commission him to speak about his campaign. As he devotes more time to it, he has steadily decreased the hours he spends in the salon at home. His most recent trip to the US was sponsored by Leesa Sleeps, a Virginia-based mattress company. He will leave for Barcelona soon and plans to return to the US in the next few months.

1.What does the underlined word “them” in Paragraph 1 refer to?

A.The homeless people. B.The tour guides.

C.The travelers. D.The hairdressers.

2.What is the purpose of Coombes’s founding the campaign?

A.To make the homeless people more beautiful.

B.To increase the connections with homeless people.

C.To bring the homeless people together to the shelters.

D.To help the homeless people change the real sense of community.

3.What do we know about Coombes?

A.He dislikes usual tourist attractions.

B.He travels around the world with his own expenses.

C.He thinks people can take action to positively affect others’ life.

D.He goes away from home in order to travel around the country.

4.What is the main idea of the text?

A.A hairdresser travels with homeless people.

B.Homeless people are connecting together.

C.Companies work together to help homeless people.

D.A hairdresser helps homeless people through haircuts.

The First Hello

The man from the telephone department got off the bus, and made his way to the tea stall, wiping the sweat off his head, face, then slipping his handkerchief under his shirt to wipe his neck and back. It was a year ago that the phone line had been installed, six months later men from the public works department had come to put up the phone booth — a neat box-like structure, with a glass window, and wooden ledges, yellow in color. And days after that, a painter had taken an entire day to color in broad, black brushstrokes, the words: STD Booth, local and STD allowed.

No one could tell that the last word had been misspelled. Besides, he had taken the entire day. After he had a cup of tea, he had left, waving cheerfully. And now months later, someone else was here again.

Everyone watched the man as he sat on the bench. No one said a word, and soon the sound of him slurping his tea filled the hot afternoon. A few leaves fell, heavy in the heat, and sometimes a car passed, on its way to the main city farther away.

When the man had finished, he made to pay but the tea shop owner who sat behind his steaming kettle and the washed upturned cups, waved him away.

“You are our guest here.”

So the man took his handkerchief out again and wiped his face.

They crowded around him as he shut himself up in the phone booth. When the children pressed their nose against the glass, he shooed them away, as he took out a shiny black instrument and placed it on the narrow shelf. A sigh of satisfaction passed through everyone that soon changed to an excited yell as they saw him dial a number, pressing a finger into the ringed dialer of the phone and letting it go all the way in a half-circle. A while later, they hear him say into the mouthpiece, “Hello.”

“Hello,” the children around the booth took up the cry, the teashop owner broke into a smile and the men waiting for a bus smiled and said hello to each other. The sadhu(印度的僧人) who sat under the banyan tree nodded wisely. As the sound carried, more hellos were heard. The women winnowing grain giggled as they tried the word tentatively, the shepherds feeding their flocks called out to their sheep, laughing as they used the word.

“It‘s a big occasion,” said the headman, in an awed voice.

“It is,” agreed those around him. The telephone man emerged and handed over a small chit of paper to the headman. “This is the telephone number”.

The headman looked at it reverently as if it were a mantra(符咒). The others around him read out the numbers slowly, digit-by-digit.

The telephone man was now too tired to notice the cheering around him. He knew he had to wait long before the bus to take him back arrived. As he sipped his second cup of tea, he remembered something else.

“Oh, you can’t start using the phone now. The minister will come next month and inaugurate it.”

No one said a word. No one was surprised. They had waited so long; a month more did not really matter.

1.In the story, fitting a working telephone booth __________.

2.A misspelled word on the booth __________.

A. the hot afternoon was filled with quiet expectation

B. there was a sudden rush of activity in the village

C. he was greeted like a regular customer

D. he learned about the village while having a nice drink

I get off the bus and walk a few blocks. I stop when I get to a garage-like place and walk to the metal door with brown paint. I turn the knob(把手)and walk in. A thousand eyes look at me as I take my place at the end of the long line. When I finally get up to the window, I hand the officer my ID. “I’m here to visit Mr C. Yes, I’m his daughter.”

I learn that line by heart. The officer hands me a piece of paper with my name as the visitor and my father’s as the prisoner. It tells me which floor to go to. As I get on the elevator, a rush of excitement runs through me. Then I go to the eighth floor, look around and see the faces I see here every Sunday and Thursday.

There he is. I stand on tiptoe(脚尖)to get a better view since I can hardly see him. He doesn’t look like my father. He’s got a beard now and he looks a lot weaker. He’s the dad that I see through a window. My dad who is separated from the world. The only place he now knows is his room in the prison. When I look deep into his eyes, I see emptiness and pain.

It’s difficult to hear him through the thick glass and over everyone else who is trying to talk. We try to carry on a normal conversation about simple things including my day and what I’m doing in school, but we mostly talk about how we can’t wait until he gets out. After an hour my time is up. We say our good-byes and love-yous.

I get on the bus to go home. My favorite place is where my father is—prison. I know, how can prison be anyone’s favorite place? But it is because my father is there. It’ll no longer be my favorite place once he gets out, though—home will be.
