ten minutes later i was 20 pounds poorer; and the cupboard, was tied on to the roof rack. it was six inches long, eighteen inches square and quite heavy.in the gathering darkness i drove slowly. other drivers seemed unusually polite that evening. the police even stopped the traffic to let us through. carrying furniture was a good idea.after a time my wife said, “theres a long line of cars behind. why dont they overtake(超车)?”in fact a police car did overtake. the two officers inside looked at us seriously as they passed. but then, with great kindness, they led us through the rush-hour traffic. the police car stopped at our village church. one of the officers came to me.“right, sir,” he said, “do you need any more help?”i was a bit puzzled. “thanks, officer,” i said, “your have been very kind. i live just on the road.”he was staring at our car; first at the flowers, then at the cupboard. “well, well,” he said, laughing. “its a cupboard youve got there! we thought it was, something else.”my wife began to laugh. then the truth hit me like a stone between the eyes. i smiled at the officer. “yes, its a cupboard, but thanks again.” i drove home as fast i could.25. the writer wrote this story in order to _.a. praise the police officerb. thank the other driversc. show people are kind to each otherd. tell us their funny experience26. the other drivers didnt overtake because _.a. they wanted to show their special kindnessb. they were afraid the cupboard would fall downc. they were admiring the flowers in the writers card. they wondered what was inside the cupboard27. writers wife began to laugh because _.a. she thought the police officers were foolishb. she was interested in what the police officer saidc. she was glad they were treated kindlyd. she had realized the truth28.as a matter of fact, the police _.a. failed to help the writerb. did help the writerc. got the writer into troubled. made the writer angrycbefore you can communicate with others, you must learn to communicate with yourself. discover your own thoughts and feelings. put what you think and feel into words, say, write a composition or a letter. you can then send your ideas and feelings to others. sometimes writing a song or a poem can help you do this.are you pleased that your father had offered to take you out for a holiday?
