Arriving in Sydney on his own from India, my husband, Rashid, stayed in a hotel for a short time while looking for a house for me and our children.
During the first week of his stay, he went out one day to do some shopping. He came back in the late afternoon to discover that his suitcase was gone. He was extremely worried as the suitcase had all his important papers, including his passport.
He reported the case to the police and then sat there,lost and lonely in strange city, thinking of the terrible troubles of getting all the paperwork organized again from a distant country while trying to settle down in a new one.
Late in the evening, the phone rang. It was a stranger. He was trying to pronounce my husband’s name and was asking him a lot of questions. Then he said they had found a pile of papers in their trash can(垃圾桶)that had been left out on the footpath.
My husband rushed to their home to find a kind family holding all his papers and documents. Their young daughter had gone to the trash can and found a pile of papers. Her parents had carefully sorted them out, although they had found mainly foreign addresses on most of the documents. At last they had seen a half-written letter in the pile in which my husband had given his new telephone number to a friend.
That family not only gave back the important documents to us that day but also gave back our faith and trust in people. We still remember their kindness and often send them a warm wish.
1.What did Rashid plan to do after his arrival in Sydney?
A. Go shopping B. Find a house C. Join his family D. Take his family
2.The girl’s parents got Rashid’s phone number from_______.

My husband, my four-month-old daughter and I set out on a five day driving journey from California to Washington. We had to stop frequently because our little child needed to stretch from the car seat.
One of our stops, once we crossed the Oregon border, was at a Black Bear Diner. Walking towards the front door we noticed a gentleman standing at one side. He was clearly untidy, without shoes and wearing worn clothing. We passed right by him and opened the restaurant door. Then something told me to go back.
Holding my daughter, I turned around and said to the gentleman, "Sir. Are yon hungry?" He said, "Yes." I then asked, "May we buy you something to eat?" He responded with, “Sure, I can order something myself."
My husband opened the door and the gentleman went straight to the counter. I told him to order whatever he wanted. The manager of the restaurant came over quite quickly and looked frightened. I spoke before he had an opportunity to. “This gentleman will have lunch with us today,” I said. “Please add his order to our bill.” The manager said with a frown(皱眉), “Okay.” We turned to our table and the gentleman said loudly and quickly, " Thank You!" We were seated and upon completing our meal we were handed our bill. I asked my husband what the gentleman had ordered, one fresh orange juice, one coffee, one breakfast combination with a side of hash browns.
When we left the restaurant I looked for the gentleman but didn't see him, but that very small act just made my day. I hope in some small way we were able to add some joy to his life, even if only for a few minutes.

九年级英语单项填空困难题查看答案及解析
Francisco, a street musician, whom my friend happened to know from his own musician day, was playing the saxophone on a street corner. His name was Clifford, and he had attracted a large crowd with his performance. After he finished, my friend introduced him to me and his daughter. Clifford asked her if she played any instrument. When she replied that she was taking trumpet(小号)lessons and played in her junior high school band, he said, "That's fine, little lady. Learn your instrument well and you can play anything."
Somehow these simple yet wise words struck me as proper not only for a trumpet player but also for a reader. If you learn to read well, you can read anything you want—not just newspapers and magazines, but more difficult material like philosophy, film criticism, military history—whatever interests you as your confidence grows. You would not be limited(限制)in any way. If you have the vocabulary—or at least a good dictionary near at hand—you can pick up a book, concentrate on it, and make sense of the author's words.
In the United States, reading instruction often ends at elementary school, so students sometimes have difficulty as they progress through school. They must take their assignments, armed only with their elementary school reading skills. The result, too often, is frustration and loss of confidence. And the assigned reading in your college courses will be even greater than they were in high school. Developing Reading Skills is designed to accomplish(完成)several tasks: to show you the skills that will enable you to read with greater comprehension, to help you cope with reading assignment with confidence, and to teach you to become an active reader.
1.The talk between the girl and Clifford serves as an introduction to________.
A.the importance of reading
B.the connection between playing instruments and reading
C.the necessity of learning to play an instrument
D.the variety of reading materials
2.It can be inferred(推断)from the story that________.
A.Clifford was good at playing the saxophone
B.the author's friend was once a street musician
C.the 12-year-old girl played the trumpet very poorly
D.Clifford was a good music teacher
3.We can infer from the last paragraph that Developing Reading Skills________.
A.is directed to elementary school students
B.centers around vocabulary building skills
C.aims at helping students read better
D.offers elementary reading skills
4.The underlined word "struck" in Paragraph 2 most probably means "________".
A.impressed B.influenced C.proved D.awakened
5.With good reading skills, you can________.
A.understand anything you read without difficulty
B.work out the author's meaning only if you concentrate on the book
C.understand what you read with the help of a good dictionary
D.concentrate on whatever you read

九年级英语单项填空困难题查看答案及解析
After my husband died from a heart attack, my world changed all in a sudden. I just put all my effort into making a living, caring for the children and just keeping my head above water.
I was lucky to find a wonderful housekeeper to care for the children during the week, but from Friday nights to Monday mornings, the children and I were alone, and in fact I was uncomfortable. Every unusual noise and any late-night phone call would fill me with fear. I felt unbelievably alone.
One Friday evening I came home from work to find a big beautiful German shepherd (牧羊犬) on our doorstep. I became worried. Where did this dog come from? Was it safe to let the children play with a strange dog? Finally I let him sleep in the basement(地下室)until the next day, when we could search around the neighborhood for his owner. That night I slept peacefully for the first time in many weeks.
The following morning we made phone calls and checked lost-and-found ads for German’s owner, but with no results. Saturday night he was still with us and I planned to take the children on a picnic without German. But we were surprised to see him jumping onto the hood (引擎盖)and looking directly into my eyes. No way was he going to be left behind. So he stayed again Sunday night. Monday morning I let him out for a run while the children got ready for school. He didn’t come back till the next Friday evening. And again he stayed until Monday morning, when our housekeeper arrived.
This repeated every weekend for almost 10 months. Each week, between German’s visits, I grew a little stronger and braver; every weekend I enjoyed his company(陪伴). Then one Monday morning we patted his head and let him out for what turned out to be the last time. He never came back.
I think of him often. He came when I needed him the most and stayed until I was strong enough to go on alone. I believe German was sent because he was needed, and because no matter how sad and alone we feel, somehow, somewhere, someone knows and cares.
1.The underlined part in Paragraph 1 means the writer_____________.
A.had great difficulty supporting the family B.couldn’t breathe and swim at the same time
C.found it hard to look for a good housekeeper D.was too heart-broken to take care of her children
2.What conclusion can we draw from the last paragraph?
A.At last the writer came to realize who German’s owner was.
B.Being strong enough, the writer didn’t miss German any more.
C.German had no choice but to come to the writer’s house on weekends.
D.The writer believes that German was sent to her because she was alone.
3.Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?
A.A Homeless Dog B.We Are Not Alone
C.Every Dog Has Its Day D.German, Our Pet Dog
