Peter lost his friend’s book. He felt very sad. Kate broke her mom’s favorite cup.  【1】 . She was so sorry for her mistake.

We all make mistakes because we are human. And it’s not always easy to get on well with everyone all the time. Sometimes we hurt people’s feelings although we don’t do it on purpose(故意的). Sometimes we hurt people’s feelings on purpose,  【2】  . So we apologize(道歉).

An apology tells someone that we’re sorry for our mistakes. It’s a way to show that we’ll try to do better in future.

Apologies are one of the tools to build good friendships and relationships(关系), When you say “I’m sorry”, you probably feel bad because what you did or said hurt another person..   【3】  , you’re also saying that you respect the other person, and care about his or her feelings.

24、My morning started out as usual. I snoozed(打盹) twice, took care of my three cats, hurried to complete chores while drinking some coffee, and then raced out the door for my mid-morning appointment.

By the time I finished my appointment, I was hungry. I stopped at a restaurant — Moe’s Southwest Grill to order a burrito(墨西哥卷饼) to take home and eat while working.

Since it was a little before noon, there was a line. A woman, who I soon learned was Marcella, was paying at the register(柜台). She asked the woman behind her in line if she would like a drink and then asked me. We both said no, and must have looked confused, because she said, ‘I got you.’ She continued to pay for both of our meals — even though we were strangers.

I asked Marcella why she did this, and she shared that someone once did something similar for her. The person asked that she might pay it forward someday and she was making good on her promise.

Before I left, she gave me a warm hug and asked only that I do an act of kindness for a stranger when I could. I arrived home, but instead of working through lunch, I sat and reflected on her kindness.

Marcella didn’t need to pay for my lunch. But she did, and it brightened my day. Not because I got to keep my $15, but because she was kind – and did not want to receive anything in return.

As I promised her, I plan on paying her kindness forward. Maybe, just maybe, I’ll make a small difference in someone else’s life, and the ripple effect(连锁反应) will continue. Because that’s what being human is all about — being kind — even to a stranger.

26、London’s Chinese community(社区) dates back to the 18th century, when a small number of Chinese sailors moved to the city to work in Limhouse, east London. As time went on, other Chinese people came to this area and Limhouse began to be known as “Chinatown”. However London’s Chinese community remained very small for many years： at the start of the 20th century, there were just 545 Chinese people in Britain.

After the Second World War, many farmers in Hong Kong lost their jobs and came to London. As Limhouse had been almost destroyed during the war, they settled(定居) in different area—a part of central London near Leicester Square. This area is now what Londoners call Chinatown.

At first, the new immigrants (移民) found it difficult to get jobs. In the 1950s, however, a small Chinese restaurant opened in London. Many British people visited it and said that Chinese food was wonderful! Suddenly, Chinese restaurants and take-aways started opening in every part of the city. Instead of too little work, the new Chinese immigrants now found that they had too much! They worked as cooks, managers or waiters. Most of them enjoyed their lives and arranged their friends and relatives to join them from overseas.

As time went by, London’s Chinese community became more and more successful. The sons and daughters of the original restaurant workers studied and worked very hard. And most went on to get highly paid jobs. Many Chinese families left Chinatown and moved to the more expensive outskirts. Chinatown, however, is still as lively as ever.

A. Because it was easy for them to get jobs there.

B. Because Limhouse had been almost destroyed during the war.

27、In 1981, the Chinese women’s volleyball team first stood at the top at the World Cup. And in 2019, it defended(保住) its World Cup crown with a record of 11 wins. The women’s volleyball team has been the pride of the Chinese people. To honor it, a film named Duo Guan or Leap in English has been made.

Based on the volleyball team’s stories, the film shows the struggles(奋斗) and achievements of the Chinese women’s volleyball team over the past 40 years. Gong Li, a world-famous Chinese actress, plays the role of Lang Ping, who has won the world championships many times with the team and is now the team’s head coach. In order to play the role well, Gong came to the training site of the team, observing Lang’s words and deeds carefully.

Zhu Ting, captain of the Chinese women’s volleyball team, also plays a part in the film. It is the first time that she has taken part in the shooting of a film and she says it’s a little bit difficult. However, her playing volleyball is more difficult than being an actress.
