21、 I have a new hero. It is G. M.Hennen.I found him in the old newspapers as I was doing my research for the column A Look Back in History.

23、When I was younger, I always knew my parents had trouble with money. We would go to yard sales all the time, buy everyday supplies and work at and eat at a soup kitchen 4 nights a week.
One day, a new man walked into the soup kitchen and asked me what my name was. As I told him my name was Angela, my mom handed me the soup ladle and hair net to start work. After that, I couldn’t find the strange man again. I searched everywhere and even asked others in the kitchen if they had seen him. My mom thought I was going crazy, saying there was no one with me when she came to me. She said I had been sitting alone and that it seemed I was talking to myself. Later that night, my mom was crying. I asked her why and she told me the rent on our apartment had gone up and that my grandma had died. She didn’t know how she was going to pay for the funeral and the rent. I promised her I would help pick up small items after she made as much money as possible.
Once we got into the apartment building, she asked me to grab the mail in the mail room. I went and only found one single envelope. A familiar man called me back saying I probably left something in our mailbox. I reached in and pulled out a huge manila envelope that looked bulky, but I couldn’t tell what was in it. I brought the envelopes up to my mom. She opened the first one and found our first super expensive rent bill. She then walked into her room, saying she couldn’t handle to open the other one. I looked at the second envelope and saw this:
“Dear Angela and Family. Love, Your Friend.” My mom ripped the envelope open, tears streaming down her face. She emptied the contents onto the bed. I brought a hand to my face, wiping away multiple tears. There on the bed were countless checks, all addressed to my mom.
I had a feeling that I knew who had sent it, but didn’t want to tell my mom—my friend from the soup kitchen.

26、阅读下面短文，根据其内容写一篇60词左右的内容概要。
We’ve all been there: in a lift, in line at the bank or on an airplane, surrounded by people who are, like us, deeply focused on their smartphones or, worse, struggling with the uncomfortable silence.
What’s the problem? It’s possible that we all have compromised conversational intelligence. It’s more likely that none of us start a conversation because it’s awkward and challenging, or we think it’s annoying and unnecessary. But the next time you find yourself among strangers, consider that small talk is worth the trouble. Experts say it’s an invaluable social practice that results in big benefits.
Dismissing small talk as unimportant is easy, but we can’t forget that deep relationships wouldn’t even exist if it weren’t for casual conversation. Small talk is the grease(润滑剂) for social communication, says Bernardo Carducci, director of the Shyness Research Institute at Indiana University Southeast. “Almost every great love story and each big business deal begins with small talk”, he explains. “The key to successful small talk is learning how to connect with others, not just communicate with them.”
In a 2014 study, Elizabeth Dunn, associate professor of psychology at UBC, invited people on their way into a coffee shop. One group was asked to seek out an interaction(互动) with its waiter; the other, to speak only when necessary. The results showed that those who chatted with their server reported significantly higher positive feelings and a better coffee shop experience. “It’s not that talking to the waiter is better than talking to your husband,” says Dunn. “But interactions with peripheral(边缘的) members of our social network matter for our well-being also.”
Dunn believes that people who reach out to strangers feel a significantly greater sense of belonging, a bond with others. Carducci believes developing such a sense of belonging starts with “Small talk is the basis of good manners,” he says.
