28、 In times of crisis (危机), people can be truly amazing. Age, wealth, race, religion, politics and all the other things that make us who we are as individuals seem to matter a little less, and the fact that we are all humans in this world together comes to matter more.
Seni Felic owns a restaurant in San Francisco called Bistro SF Grill, and he is feeling optimistic despite the crisis caused by COVID-19 “We’re going to pool our resources and people will pull together, and it will have a strong effect on solving any problems,” he told Reader’s Digest. With this in mind, he decided to offer nonprofit lunches and dinners in his restaurant.
“We are inviting all to stop by Bistro SF Grill to take a lunch or dinner box with food prepared in advance. The price is only $5.50 and it covers our expenses. We’d like to give for free, but we can’t afford it. Our idea was: Let’s try to help.” he said.
Despite San Francisco’s “shelter-in-place” order, Felic said they still plan to offer meals. The move deals with three problems in the community: offering various high-quality food to people who may not be able to cook or who can’t afford Whole Foods prices; helping the business continue operating during the crisis; and paying some of the hourly workers who make the food so that they can earn enough money to get through the hard times.
He believes that working together and helping others will be the key to helping all to get through this. “This problem will be controlled, and I just feel optimistic,” he added. “When people come together and cooperate, I think we can overcome almost anything.”

29、 My first year of teaching was an emotionally(情感上) exhausting job with few payoffs. I was young, inexperienced, and had class after class of twenty kids just waiting for me to make a mistake.
After a particularly long night of marking papers and thinking about how many weeks I had left until I could breathe, I had some of those mornings when I began to question my job choice. I'd become a teacher to help kids. Instead, I felt like I couldn't even help myself anymore. It was just Mother's Day, and as I sat at my desk surrounded by lesson plans, I wondered how I'd ever have enough energy to have children of my own, much less continue teaching.
That was when I heard a knock at my door. One of my students came in-the country boy who was no great shakes at school. He handed me a large flower that probably came from his family's farm. He had stuck a bird feather in it.
“I got you a Mother's Day gift,” he said. Most middle school and high school teachers don't receive presents. Lots of festivals had already come and gone with any gifts. I was so shocked that I just stared. Embarrassed by my silence, he said, “You know…since you're like a mother to us and all that, I thought you should get a present, too.”
I smiled and told him he was the sweetest person in the whole world, and I just loved it. Based on his smile, I knew I'd done enough work of making him feel quite proud of himself. What drove that twelve-year-old to bring me a homemade present? I'll never know. Once he left the room, I locked the door. And I cried. From then on, I knew what this job meant to me.

32、阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。续写的词数应为150左右。
Steve was the most amazing person in all of Minneapolis, and he was my cousin. When Steve asked me to go with him on a spring fishing trip in northern Minnesota, I was excited!
After planning the trip, we began our great adventure. We reached the Superior National Forest in northern Minnesota by early evening. On our way to the campsite, Steve pointed to a small house far away in one of the mountains, saying that it was the ranger station (护林站) where the forester (护林人) worked.
After a long walk, we reached the campsite and set up the camp as the sun was setting. After we gathered enough wood from the forest, Steve started the campfire using only stone and steel — no matches. For supper we feasted on freeze-dried beef, wild rice and pea soup. I ate greedily after all that work.
Tired enough, we climbed into our sleeping bags early and talked about our plans for fishing the next day. We were still talking quietly when a sudden north wind picked up; the temperature dropped and it began to snow. Steve found a way to increase the temperature inside the tent. He dragged a log (原木) from the forest to the opposite side of the campfire. Then he wrapped aluminum foil (铝箔) around the log. The heat from the fire reflected off the foil and into the tent. Soon images of lake fish were filling my dreams.
The snow had stopped, but sometime later a powerful wind must have kicked up the flames of our dying fire. I was abruptly awakened by Steve. Our tent was on fire. Frightened, I ran out of the tent immediately. The tent collapsed (倒塌) with Steve inside. Without any thought of endangering myself, I reached into the burning tent and pulled him to a place near the icy lake. Fortunately, we were not seriously hurt.
