22、 Walter Carr and his mother just moved from New Orleans, Louisiana to Birmingham, Alabama after losing their home in Hurricane Katrina.
W alter Carr, a college student in Alabama, walked 32 kilometers in the dark to get to his new job. Walter Carr’s car broke down the night before starting a new job at Bellhops, a furniture moving company. Carr was unable to find a ride. He left at midnight so that he could make it to the customer’s house by 8: 00 am the next morning.
Pelham police saw him walking along a highway at 4: 00 am and they took him to a restaurant for breakfast and then to a church where he could safely wait until 8: 00 am. The police then took Carr to the home of custormer Jenny Lamey. Lamey said that even though Carr had just walked the entire night, he refused her offer to rest and started working. Lamey thought he worked in a down -to- earth way. While he worked, he talked with the customer, telling her how much he liked her kitchen.
Lamey later wrote this on Facebook: “I just can’t tell you how touched I was by Walter and his journey. He is kind and cheerful and he has big dreams! He is hardworking and tough.” She then started a GoFundMe page to help Walter with money to get his car fixed. When the CEO of Bellhops, Luke Marklin, learned of Carr’s story, he drove from Tennessee to Alabama to give Walter his own Ford Escape.
W alter Carr’s story touched many others around the United States. Within a few days, people gave over $ 73, 000 to his GoF undMe page. Carr has decided to give a part of the donations to the Birmingham Education Foundation. And he has received more offers for jobs and scholarships for schools.

24、 French artist Albert Uderzo, who co-created the much-loved comic series Asterix, died of a heart attack in March, 2020 when he was 92.
Uderzo was born in Reims, France, in 1927. After World War II, he began to illustrate comics. In 1952, he met up with René Goscinny. The two worked on several projects—with Goscinny writing and Uderzo drawing—before coming up with Asterix in 1959. Asterix focused on a small, but brave fighter Asterix defending his village from Roman attackers during the time of Julius Caesar over 2, 000 years ago. In the stories, Asterix’s village is the only part of an area called Gaul that the Romans have not yet taken over. Gaul was roughly where modern-day France is. Asterix wasn’t exactly a superhero, but he often used his brain instead of his strength to settle problems with his trusty friend Obelix.
When the comic first appeared in the magazine Pilote in October, 1959, it was a hit right away. Then two years later the first Asterix book came out, and it sold 6, 000 copies. Just four years later, the fifth one sold 300, 000 copies. When the ninth book came out after another two years, 1. 2 million copies were sold in just two days.
The Asterix books have been translated into more than 100 languages. There have also been 15 Asterix board games and 40 Asterix video games. By 2017, 370 million Asterix books had been sold.
Uderzo’s partner, Goscinny, died in 1977. To keep up with the demands of fans, Uderzo took on the writing as well as the drawing. Many of the Asterix books, including his new books, have been turned into movies. Now, the Asterix books are being produced by a new artist team from France.
【1】What can we say about Asterix?
A.He liked using his head. B.He trusted people easily.
C.He was a comic writer. D.He ran the village Gaul.
【2】When was the ninth Asterix book published?
A.In 1961. B.In 1963. C.In 1965. D.In 1967.
【3】What does the statistics about the Asterix books in paragraph 4 show?
A.Their wide topics. B.Their long history.
C.Their hot popularity. D.Their different characters.
【4】What did Uderzo do about the Asterix books after Goscinny passed away?
A.He adapted many of them into films. B.He formed a new artist team for them.
C.He asked Asterix fans to make up stories. D.He wrote the Asterix stories instead of Goscinny.
