Every people uses its own special word to show its ideas and feelings. Some of these expressions are commonly used for many years. Others are popular for just a short time.

In the early 1980s “Where’s the beef?” was one of the most popular expressions in the United States. It seemed as if everyone using it at the time.
Beef, of course, is the meat from a cow, and food is more popular in America than a hamburger made from beef. In the 1960s a businessman named Ray began building small re staurants that sold hamburgers at a low price. Ray called this “McDonald’s”. Ray became one of the richest businessmen at last in America.
Other business people watched his success. Some of them opened their own hamburger restaurants.

One of the women said she would not eat a hamburger with such a little piece of beef. “Where’s the beef?” she shouted in a funny w ay.

It was a winter morning, just a couple of weeks before Christmas 2005. While most people were warming up their cars, Trevor, my husband, had to get up early to ride his bike four kilometers away from home to work. On arrival, he parked his bike outside the back door as he usually does. After putting in 10 hours of labor, he returned to find his bike gone.
The bike, a black Kona 18 speed, was our only transport. Trevor used it to get to work, putting in 60-hour weeks to support his young family. And the bike was also used to get groceries（食品杂货），saving us from having to walk long distances from
where we live.
I was so sad that someone would steal our bike that I wrote to the newspaper and told them our story. Shortly after that, several people in our area offered to help. One wonderful stranger even bought a bike, then called my husband to pick it up. Once again my husband had a way to get to and from his job. It really is an honor that a complete stranger would go out of their way for someone they have never met before.
People say that a smile can be passed from one person to another, but acts of kindness from strangers are even more so. This experience has had a spreading effect in our lives because it strengthened our faith in humanity（人性）as a whole. And it has influenced（影响）us to be more mindful of ways we, too, can share with others. No matter how big or how small, an act of kindness shows that someone cares. And the results can be everlasting.
32.Why was the bike so important to the couple?
A. They used it for work and daily life.
B. It was their only possession.
C. The man’s job was bike racing.
D. It was a nice Kona 18 speed.
33.We can infer from the text that ____________.
A. the couple worked 60 hours a week.
B. people were busy before Christmas
C. life was hard for the young family.
D. the stranger brought over the bike
34.How did people get to know the couple’s problem?
A. From radio broadcasts.
B. From TV news.
C. From a newspaper.
D. From a stranger.
35.What do the couple learn from their experience?
A. Strangers are usually of little help.
B. An act of kindness can mean a lot.
C. News reports make people famous.
D. One should take care of their bike.

Could you offer me some advice on where to stay，what to eat and how to travel in such short time? I’d appreciate it if you can provide me with some necessary informations. I’m sure your suggestions will surely make my visit enjoyably.
I’m looking forward to hear from you soon.

Li Hua Dear Michael,
How are you? These days, I am planning to travel abroad during the vacation. I think traveling abroad is very meaningful. First, traveling abroad can broaden my horizons. When I visit a foreign country, I can learn more about the customs and the history of the country. At the same time, I can make a lot of friends. Besides, communicating with the local people will give me chance to learn a foreign language. The most important thing is that I can relax and enjoy the beautiful scenery. Michael, please come to China when you are free. I do hope you can pay a visit here and learn more about China.
Best wishes!
Yours sincerely
Li Hua。
