his grandpa the basket was empty again. out of breath, he said, “grandpa, its useless!”“so, you think it is useless?” the grandpa said, “look at the basket.”the boy looked at the basket and for the

rashid, stayedina hotel for a short time while looking 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 a 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 husbands name and was asking him a lot of questions. then he said they had found a pile of papers in their trash can 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 unfamiliar 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 restored the important documents to us that day but also restored our faith and trust in people. we still remember their kindness and often send a warm wish their way.24. what did rashid plan to do after his arrival in sydney?a. go shopping b. find a house c. join his family d. take a vacation25. the girls parents got rashids phone number from_.a. a friend of his family b. a sydney policeman c. a letter in his papers d. a stranger in sydney26. what does the underlined word “restored” in the last paragraph mean?a. showed b. sent out c. delivered d. gave back来源:zxxk.com27. which of the following can be the best title for the text?a. from india to australia. b. living in a new country.c. turning trash to treasure. d. in search of new friends. cchildren have their own rules in playing games. they seldom need a referee (裁判) and rarely trouble to keep scores. they dont care much about who win or lose, and it doesnt seem to worry them if the game is not finished. yet, they like games that depend a lot on luck, so that their personal abilities cannot be directly compared. they also enjoy games that move in stages, in which each stage, the choosing of leaders, the picking-up of sides, or the determining of which side shall start, is almost a game in itself.grown-ups can hardly find childrens games exciting, and they often feel puzzled at why their kids play such simple games again and again. however, it is found that a child plays games for very important reasons. he can be a good player without having to think whether he is a popular person, and he can find himself being a useful partner to someone of whom he is ordinarily afraid. he becomes a leader when it comes to his turn. he can be confident, too，in particular games, that it is his place to give orders, to pretend to be dead, to throw a ball actually at someone, or to kiss someone he has caught.it appears to us that when children play a game they imagine a situation under their control. everyone knows the rules, and more importantly, everyone plays according to the rules. those rules may be childish, but they make sure that every child has a chance to win.28. to become a leader in a game, the child has to_.a. play well b. wait for his turnc. be confidence in himself d. be popular among his playmates29. what do we know about grown-ups?a. they are not interested in games. b. they find childrens games too easy.c. they dont need a reason to play games. d. they dont understand childrens games.30. why does a child like playing games?a. because he can be someone other than himself. b. because he can become popular among friends.c. because he finds he is always lucky in games. d. because he likes the place where he plays a game.31. the writer believes that _.a. children should make better rules for their game. b. children should invite grown-ups to play with themc. childrens games can do them a lot of good. d. children play games without reasonda nine-year-old kid was sitting at his desk when suddenly there was a puddle (some water or liquid) between his feet and the front of his trousers was wet. he thought his heart was going to stop because he couldnt possibly imagine how this had happened. it had never happened before, and he knew that when the boys found out he would never hear the end of it. when the girls found out, they would never speak to him again as long as he lived. he prayed this prayer, “dear god, i need help now! five minutes from now im dead meat! ” he looked up from his prayer and here came the teacher with a look in her eyes that said he had been discovered. as the teacher was walking toward him, a classmate named susie was carrying a goldfish bowl full of water. susie tripped in front of the teacher and dumped（倒）the bowl of water in the boys lap. the boy pretended to be angry, but all the while he was saying to himself, “thank you. god! ”now all of a sudden, instead of being the object of ridicule, the boy was the object of sympathy. the teacher rushed him downstairs and gave him gym shorts to put on while his trousers dried out. all the other children were on their hands and knees cleaning up around his desk. the sympathy was wonderful. but as life would have it, the ridicule that should have been his had been transferred（转移）to someone elsesusie.
