A man wakes up with a big hangover (宿醉) the morning after attending his company?s annual Summer Party. He can?t even remember how he got home from the party, let alone how he got so drunk and is deathly afraid of what he may have done or said the night before to make his wife angry.
The man forces his eyes open and the first things he sees are two headache tablets next to a glass of water on his table, and, next to them, a single red rose! He sits up with difficulty and sees his clothing on the back of his chair all clean and pressed and the rest of the house all in perfect order.
Doubtful, the man takes the tablets and sees a black eye looking back at him from the bathroom mirror. Then he finds a note next to the red rose on the table, “Sweetie, breakfast is waiting for you on the stove. I left early to buy the cooking materials to make your favorite dinner tonight. I love you, darling!”
The note was signed, “Your loving wife.”
The man then walks into the kitchen. His daughter Jessie is at the table, eating. “Jessie…what happened last night?” The man asks, with great fear.
“Well, you came home around four o?clock in the morning, drunk and out of your mind. You stumbled and fell onto the coffee table and broke it, and got this b lack eye when you crashed into the table?s edge.”
Puzzled, the man asks Jessie, “Then why is there a rose on my table and breakfast on the stove waiting for me?”
“Oh that,” Jessie replies, “well, Mom pull ed you into your bedroom, and when she tried to undress you, you yelled, …Leave me alone; I?m married and I love my wife!?”

Several dollars equal nothing for some people, but make a difference for others. Steve has just lost his wife to cancer and everything they had is gone due to the treatment. He now lives in the shelter for
the homeless. So we know each other.
Just like other homeless people, he didn?t think he needed anything. But once he mentioned to me he needed eye glasses. His voice hesitated a bit, he looked down, and it appeared like he thought such a request was just a dream. Too much to hope for? It was as if his wish were known by me only.
I submitted an application for him to a program that is supposed to provide a free eye examination and glasses. Three months later, I phoned to ask what was up with the appointment but they told me there was a cash flow problem until late summer.
Steve showed disappointment, thanked me and started to walk away. I said, “Hold on, I will figure out a way to get you an eye examination and glasses.” His face lit up a tiny bit. He had seen some of the things I have done for other people in our shelter and to me it looked like he might have a line of hope.
I took a picture of him and posted his picture and his story in the Twitter. In about 4 days, eight people from around the world donated $25 each and one person donated $40 and I made up the rest to get him an eye exam and glasses.
Steve picked up his glasses on Wednesday: May 11th, 2011. Today Steve has returned to a previous job he had in a nearby car wash. Because he now has glasses he will be able to see what he is doing while cleaning the vehicles. He is starting a second job at a pet center next week!
24．We can learn from the first two paragraphs that ______.
A. it took a long time to treat Steve?s wife
B. homeless people never ask for anything
C. the author and Steve have been friends for years
D. Steve was too embarrassed to ask for help
25．The program failed to satisfy Steve because ______.
A. it was already out of business
B. Steve didn?t submit the application himself

D. it?s not designed for people l ike Steve
26．What can be inferred from the passage?
A. The program was closed three months ago.
B. The author might be a volunteer in the shelter.
C. Steve got $240 in total from kind-hearted people.
D. Steve used to work as a salesman in a car factory.
27．The best title for the passage is probably ______.

B. Two heads are better than one
C. Small help can really count
D. God helps those who help themselves
C
Last year I ruined my summer vacation by bringing along a m odern convenience that was too convenient for my own good: the iPad. Instead of looking at nature, I checked my email. Instead of paddling a small boat, I followed my Twitter feed (推特简讯). Instead of reading great novels, I stuck to reading four newspapers each morning. I was behaving as if I were still in the office. My body was on vacation but my head wasn?t.
So this year I made up my mind to try something different: withdrawal (退出) from the Internet. I knew it wouldn?t be easy, since I?m bad at self-control. But I was determined. I started by giving the iPad to my wife.
The cellphone signal at our house was worse than in the past, making my attempts at cheating an experience in frustration . I was trapped, forced to go through with my plan. Largely cut off from e-mail, Twitter and my favorite newspaper websites, I had few ways to connect to the world except for radio and how much radio can one listen to, really? I had to do what I had planned to all along: read books.
This experience has had a happy ending. With determination and the strong support of my wife, I won in my vacation struggle against the Internet, realizing finally that it was I, not the iPad, that was the problem. I knew I had won when we passed a Starbucks and my wife asked if I wanted to stop to use the Wi-Fi. “ I don?t need it,” I said.
However, as we return to post -vacation life, a harder test begins: Can I continue when I?m back at work? There are times when the need to know what?s being said right now is great. And I have no intention of giving up my convenience completely. But I hope to resist the temptation (诱惑) to check my e-mail every five minutes, which leads to checking my Twitter feed and a website or two.
I think a vacation is supposed to help you reset your brain to become more productive. Here I hope this one worked.
28. What do we know about the author?s last summer vacation？
A. He was determined to enjoy the beautiful view.。
