On this particular day, he was building some crates（木箱）for the clothes his church was sending to an orphanage（孤儿院）in Brazil. On his way home, he found his glasses were gone. When he mentally replayed his earlier actions, he realized what happened. The glasses had slipped out of his pocket and fallen into one of the crates. His new glasses were heading for Brazil!The Great Depression was at its height, and Grandpa had six children. He had spent twenty dollars for those glasses that very morning.“Its not fair,” he thought as he walked home angrily. “Ive been very faithful in giving of my time and money to my work, and now this.”Several months later, the director of the orphanage came to the United States. He wanted to visit all the churches that supported him, so he came to my grandfathers small church in Chicago.He began by thanking the people for their kindness in supporting the orphanage. “But most of all, he said, ” I must thank you for the glasses you sent last year. You see, some people had just come to the orphanage, destroying everything, including my glasses. I was desperate. Even if I had the money, there was simply no way of replacing those glasses. Along with not being able to see well, I experienced headaches every day, so my coworkers and I were very worried about this. Then your crates arrived. When I removed the covers, I found a pair of glasses lying on top.”He paused long enough to let his words sink in. Then, he continued: “When I tried on the glasses, it was as though they had been made just for me! I want to thank you for being a part of that!”The people listened, happy for the miraculous glasses. But they thought it was strange because there were no glasses on their list of items to be sent overseas.Sitting quietly in the back, with tears streaming down his face, my grandfather, an ordinary carpenter realized his glasses had found a good place to go.56We know from the text that .Athe authors grandfather got his glasses back from the director of the orphanageBthe authors grandfather found that his glasses were at home at lastCthe authors grandfathers burden of supporting his family was very heavyDthe authors grandfather worked as a carpenter in a school in Chicago57From the text we can infer that the authors grandfather was very after hearing what the director of the orphanage had said.AsurprisedBdisappointedCpitifulDproud58The underlined word “miraculous” （Paragraph 7） can be replaced by .ApracticalBwonderfulCnecessaryDimportant59What would be the best title for the text?AThe Perfect MistakeBAn Ordinary CarpenterCA Careless Old ManDA Pair of GlassesBHere is some information about several famous local bakeries(面包烤房) in Indiana, the US.They serve as a social gathering place for locals.Maple Lane BakeryAt 8260 S.State Rd.Claypool, IN.(574) 566-2917, it offers a variety of cooked pies, cookies, and bread.With 20 years experience Maple Lane Bakery has specialized in the making of pies.The menu includes peach pie $7.19, berry pie $7.70, apple pie $7.19 and banana pie $6.99.Feel free to place an order at least 24 hours in advance.Bettys Cakes & Candy ShopAt 816 E.Winona Avenue Warsaw, IN.(574) 269-1231, it specializes in cakes and offers cookies and candies.The chocolate cookies are sold at $8.99 a dozen.Bettys Cakes & Candy Shop, started half a century ago, specializes in wedding cakes and birthday cakes.Buying a cake from Bettys will not disappoint you as they are always excellent.Crepes Quality BakeryAt 217 S.Cavin Street Ligonier, IN.(260) 894-3024, this third generation bakery is located downtown Ligonier.It offers cookies and cupcakes, and specializes in rolls and bread.If you plan to buy cookies for the office or work area, you had better get there early as the building workers arrive just before 5:00 am waiting for the doors to open.Olympia Candy KitchenAt 136 N.Main Street Goshen, IN.(574) 533-5040, it has been welcoming visitors for almost a century in its unchanged location in downtown Goshen, Indiana.Its tradition began in 1912 when Greek Nicholas began making his own chocolates.Today t
