27、   Many years ago, when we were a young couple with two small children, aged 2 and 4, we were practically impecunious. My in-laws 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 pick-up 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 to my husband to carry 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 can’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 can 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.

B．By selling food door to door.

C．By working as a shop assistant.

D．By delivering goods.

【3】How did the author feel when she saw the basket?

A．She was annoyed.

B．She was astonished.

C．She was terrified.

D．She felt a sense of relief.

【4】What may be the best title for the text?

A．A tale of potatoes

B．A reward from a stranger

C．A helping hand in time

D．A struggling young couple

28、Jamie Oliver has been invited by Gordon Brown to prepare a banquet at No.10 for President Barack Obama and other leaders of the G20, offering a cut­price menu to reflect times when trade and industry are far from prosperous and the rate of employment is decreasing.

Downing Street sources say Oliver, the well­known chef, will cook using “honest high­street products” and avoid expensive or“fancy” ingredients(材料).

The prime minister is trying to avoid a repeat of the embarrassment last year when he sat down to an 18­course banquet at a Japanese summit to discuss world food shortages.

“I'm hoping the menu I'm working on will show British food and produce is some of the best in the world, but also show we have pioneered a high­quality apprentice scheme at Fifteen London chat is giving young people a skill to be proud of.”

The chef has not yet finalized the menu, but is expected to draw inspiration from his latest book, Jamie's Ministry of Food, which has budget recipes for beef and ale stew( 啤酒炖菜) and “impressive” chocolate fudge cake.

30、When travelling in the Canadian Rockies by car, I often notice a road sign that says,“A fed bear is a dead bear.”_________, I did not get it. Why is a fed bear a dead one? According to a friend, many travellers used to throw their food from their cars for the bears._________,the bears turned to the roadside for food and slowly lost their ability to take care of themselves.
