24、A businessman, who was very fond of music, was asked by a poor widow to give her some help. Her husband, who was a musician, had died, and left her very poor indeed.

The businessman saw that the widow and her daughter, who was with her, were in great distress. He looked with pity into their pale faces, and was sure that their sad story was true.

“How much do you want, my good woman?” said the businessman.

“Five dollars will save us,” said the poor widow, with some hesitation, after she thought for a few seconds.

The businessman sat down at his desk, took a piece of paper, wrote a few lines on it, and gave it to the widow with the words, “Take it to the bank you see on the other side of the street.”

The widow thanked the man, and then quickly walked to the bank with her daughter, without stopping to read the note. The banker at once counted out fifty dollars instead of five, and passed them to the window.

She was amazed when she saw so much money. “Sir, there is a mistake here.” she said. “You have given me fifty dollars, and I asked for only five.”

The banker then looked at the note once more, and said, “The check calls for fifty dollars.”

The banker then asked her to wait a few minutes, while he went to see the businessman who gave her the note.

“Yes,” said the businessman, when he had heard the banker’s story, “I did make a mistake. I wrote fifty instead of five hundred. Give the poor widow five hundred dollars, for such honesty is poorly rewarded (奖赏) with even that sum.”

Walking Wonder

When was the last time you went for a walk? Where did you go? What was it like? It’s obvious that walking is good for you, but just how good?

According to an early research, walking is a great kind of exercise because it is good for keeping physical fitness and controlling your weight. It can also stop heart disease from happening and lower the risk of cancer (癌症). And walking is sure to be the useful means of improving your mood (情绪) and relieving stress. But now scientists have discovered something else. A latest study has found that healthy people who walk at least eight kilometers a week have bigger brains, better memories and improved mental functions(功 能)compared with less active people. For these reasons, we decided to ask a few people about their walking habits.

“I often go for a walk before lunch in the park near where I work. I find it’s great for building up my appetite and the lunch tastes much more delicious.” James Barnes.

“I go walking every weekend. It’s the same route but it’s always different. In the autumn, you can pick up the golden leaves. In the spring when the flowers come out, the colors are incredible. And in winter when it snows, the crunching sound as you walk is incredible. ” John Nichols.

“I live in the city and often walk home instead of taking the underground. I also walk up and down the stairs for a bit of exercise. ” Declan Smith.

“London is a great place to walk. I can walk from my home to where I work right through Regent’s Park, with its tall, majestic tree.” Simon Tressel.

“I’ve been getting ready for the Moon Walk, which takes place in May. It's a walk-a-thon (步行马拉松) through London to raise money for people with cancer. As part of the training, I’ve been going for long, fast walks every three days.” Dave Symonds.

So, will you be going for a walk soon?

【1】The second and third paragraphs mainly talk about________.

A.the benefits of walking B.the early research about walking

【2】The phrase “building up my appetite” in Paragraph 3 probably means “ ________”.

A.cheering me up B.making me relaxed

C.keeping me happy D.making me eat more

【3】The Moon Walk is probably________.

A.an interest club B.a project to keep healthy

27、   The bike, a black Kona 18 speed, was our only transport. Trevor used it to get to work to support our family. And the bike was also used to get groceries (食品杂货), saving us from having to walk along long distances from where we live.

I was so sad that someone would steal our bike that I wrote to the newspaper and told them our story. Shortly after that, several people in our area offered to help. One wonderful stranger even bought a bike, then called my husband to pick it up. Once again my husband had a way to get to and from his job. It really is an honor that a complete stranger would go out of their way for someone they have never met before.

People say that a smile can be passed from one person to another, but acts of kindness from strangers are even more so. This experience has influenced us to be more mindful of ways we, too, can share with others. No matter how big or how small, an act of kindness shows that someone cares. And the results can be everlasting.

【1】Why was the bike so important to the couple?

A.They used it for work and daily life. B.It was their only possession（财产）.

C.It was a nice Kona 18 speed. D.The man's job was bike racing.

【2】How did people get to know the couple's problem?

A.From a stranger. B.From a newspaper.

C.From TV news. D.From radio broadcasts.

【3】What do the couple learn from their experience?

A.Strangers are usually of little help. B.One should take care of their bike.

C.News reports make people famous. D.An act of kindness can mean a lot.
