26、Rodney Smith, Jr. started mowing the lawns (割草坪) in Huntsville, Alabama last fall. He used his time between classes at Alabama A&M to reach a goal of mowing 100 yards before winter. Smith has been cutting grass for free to help single moms, the elderly, and the disabled, while teaching the local youth the values that can turn boys into men. “I’m doing something positive. I want boys to follow me and be better than me,” he wrote on his Facebook page.
Rodney is from Bermuda. He says people there help each other and are always friendly. “That’s what drives me to help people.”
In May this year, he was getting ready to launch his mowing service for the summer when he heard about a 93-year-old woman trying to cut grass by herself. Smith and a friend showed up to do the job for her.
In November, a local TV station gave him $300, calling it a special gift for his good work. After he received the money, he used it to create the non-profit(非盈利的) service group, Raising Men Lawn Care Service. He also started a page to collect money to buy lawn equipment and other things—including T-shirts with special logos.
After I read about Rodney’s story, I told my friends about him. We also planned to mow lawns for single moms, the elderly and disabled in our neighborhood. And I hope more and more young people will join Rodney’s service group—Raising Men Lawn Care Service.

28、If you’re planning on travelling, there are a few simple rules about how to make life easier both before and after your journey.
First of all, always check and doublecheck departure(出发) time. It is amazing how few people really do this carefully. Once I arrived at the airport a few minutes after ten. My secretary had got the ticket for me and I thought she had said that the plane left at 10:50. When I arrived at the airport, the clerk at the departure desk told me that my flight was closed. Therefore, I had to wait three hours for the next one and missed an important meeting.
The second rule is to remember that even in this age of credit cards, it is still important to have at least a little of the local currency with you when you arrive in a country. This can be necessary if you are flying to a place few tourists normally visit. A few years ago I was sent to Tulsa, Oklahoma. I flew there from London via Dallas, with very little time to change planes in between. I arrived there at midnight and the bank at the airport was closed. The only way to get to my hotel was by taxi and because I had no dollars, I offered to pay in pounds instead.
“Listen! I only take real money!” the driver said angrily. Luckily I was able to borrow a few dollars from a clerk at the hotel, but it was very embarrassing.
The third and last rule is to find out as much as you can about the weather at your destination before you leave. I feel sorry for some of my workmates who travel in heavy suits and raincoats in May, when it is still fairly cool in London or Manchester, to places like Athens, Rome or Madrid, where it is already beginning to get quite warm during the day.
【1】According to the passage, it’s obvious that ________.
A.the author learns some rules of travelling from his own experience
B.the author doesn’t plan his trips or journeys carefully
C.Englishmen like to wear heavy suits wherever they travel
D.the American taxi driver never travels to England
【2】What should you make sure first before setting off?
A.Where you will go.
B.When you will leave.
C.How you will travel.
D.Whom you will go with.
【3】What does the underlined word “there” in Paragraph 3 refer to?
A.London.
B.Manchester.
C.Dallas.
D.Tulsa.
【4】Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?
A.The author tells people to choose warm places as their travel destinations.
B.You should remember to take credit cards when travelling.
C.You should know more about the weather of the place you’ll visit.
D.You should take enough change when you travel to another country.
29、As Valentine ’s Day is coming, many of us start thinking of creative and thoughtful ways to express our love to our family and friends. 【1】Here are several ways to show love to strangers.
Practice compassion (同情). As humans, we often forget about the feelings of others. The people counting out all their coins to pay at the grocery store (杂货店), may be using every last penny they have to feed their family.【2】Maybe you can offer help by paying for groceries or helping them put their groceries in the car. An ounce of compassion goes a long way to show others that you care.
【3】Hold the door for others, offer to help a neighbor lift a heavy box, or pick up something someone has dropped and return it. Say “Thank you”, offer to help someone standing on the side of the highway with a broken-down car, or ask people you meet how their day is going.
Make someone smile. A sweet smile is the best way to show your kindness and start a conversation. Go out of your way to make someone smile daily. Give praise to people you come across, pay for a stranger’s meal or even tell a small joke to make a person laugh.【4】
Offer encouragement. 【5】They may need some words of encouragement. Reach out to these people. Talk to them and give them the motivation (动力) they need to keep moving forward with their lives.
A.Give meaningful gifts.
B.Be polite to others through kindness.
C.Pick up rubbish on the street or at the park.
D.In situations like this, put yourself in other people ’s shoes.
E.We all meet people in public who may be down on their luck.
F.All of these may be just what they need to get through a difficult day.
G.But the holiday also gives us an opportunity to show love to others we don’t know.

32、阅读下面短文,根据所给情节进行续写,使之构成一个完整的故事。
One Sunday last year, eight of us hiked for a couple of hours through the desert near San Diego to reach Thunder Canyon Cave. We had to go through a waterfall to get inside, so we put on our wetsuits and lowered ourselves 30ft down. By 11:00 am we were inside. With further climbing, we reached a nineinch crack. Having caved for four hours,__I was tired and wet.
The group leader, Luca,__was guiding three cavers. One of them, Steve, in his 50s, got jammed in the__crack. There was 10 minutes of pulling and pushing until Steve was free. He was tired and needed to leave. Luca, assuming I'd been through the crack before, guided Steve through another 15 minutes of cave to an exit. I was second from last to go through and out of earshot (可听距离). I didn't realize that Luca wasn't there—if I'd known, I wouldn't have attempted the crack, as I needed an experienced guide.
The challenge is to move your feet first down the length of the crack, and then angle your body sideways to swing along, before dropping five feet to the floor of the next space. On my first attempt, I knew I wouldn't make__it through, but the group encouraged me to try again. I didn't want to inconvenience anyone by having to make the long trip back through the cave, so I backed out and took off my wetsuit. In just my Tshirt, I tried to slide through again but my hips (屁股) jammed. My feet were hanging the other side and my left arm supported my body. My hand rested on a wooden board that had been left covering rocks to protect cavers from slipping. Luca returned and the team tried everything to move me as I mentally focused on escape.
After two hours my arm weakened, so I slid further into the crack, where the__gap was only eight and a half inches wide. My body weight was now on my left elbow, my back and chest touching the cold stone walls. The guy behind me, Jim, tried unsuccessfully to pull me back. Of course, I was blocking his escape,__too.
