ATwo traveling angels （天使）stopped to spend the night in the home of a wealthy family．The family was rude and refused to let the angels stay in the guest room．Instead the angels were given a space in the cold basement．As they made their bed on the hard floor，the older angel saw a hole in the wall and repaired it．When the younger angel asked why，the older angel replied"Things aren't always what they seem．"The next night the pair came to rest at the house of a very poor but very hospitable （好客的）farmer．After sharing what little food they had，the couple let the angels sleep in their bed where they could have a good night's rest．When the sun came up the next morning，the angels found the farmer and his wife in tears．Their only cow，whose milk had been their only income，lay dead in the field．The younger angel was very angry and asked the older angel，"How could this happen？""Why didn't you watch out for the cow？The first man had everything，yet you watched over his house，"she accused（指责）．"The second family had little but was willing to share everything，and you did not help．""Things aren't always what they seem，"the older angel replied．"When we stayed in the basement，I noticed there was gold stored in that hole in the wall．Since the owner was so greedy and unwilling to share his good fortune，I asked God if I could seal（封口）the wall so he couldn't find it．Then last night as we slept in the farmer's bed，the angel of death came for his wife．I asked God if the angel could take the cow instead．Things aren't always what they seem．"21．Why did the older angel repair the hole for the rich family？A．Because she didn't like the greedy owner．B．Because she wanted to save the gold for the poor．C．Because the basement was too cold to stay in．D．Because she believed that one should always be ready to offer help．22．In paragraph two，"the pair" refers to．A．the rich coupleB．the angelsC．the guestsD．the poor couple23．The younger angel was very angry becauseA．the older angel killed the farmer's cowB．the angel of death took the cow awayC．the wealthy man gave them a bad place to live inD．the older angel treated the two families unfairly．24．The story tries to tell the reader thatA．angels are always ready to help the poorB．sometimes things are not what they seemC．angels are always ready to help the richD．the young should always learn from the old．BSome people make you feel comfortable when they are around．You spend an hour with them and feel as if you have known them half your life．These people have something in common．And once we know what it is，we can try to do it ourselves．How is it done？Here are several skills that good talkers have．If you follow the skills，they'll help you put people at their ease，and make friends with them quickly．First of all，good talkers ask questions．Almost anyone，no matter how shy he is，will answer a question．One well﹣known businesswoman says，"At business lunches，I always ask people what they did that morning．It's a common question，but it will get things going．"From there you can move on to other matters﹣sometimes to really personal questions．And how he answers will let you know how far you can go．Second，once good talkers have asked questions，they listen to the answers．This point seems clear，but it isn't..Your questions should have a point and help to tell what sort of person you are talking to．And to find out，you really have to listen carefully and attentively．Real listening at least means some things．First it means not to change the subject of conversation．If someone sticks to one topic，you can take it as a fact that he's really interested in it．Real listening also means not just listening to words，but to tones of voice．If the voice sounds dull，then，it's time for you to change the subject．Finally，good talkers know well how to deal with the occasion of parting．If you're saying good ﹣bye，you may give him a firm handshake and say，"I've really enjoyed meeting you．"If you want to see that person again，don't keep it a secret．Let people know what you feel，and they may walk away feeling as if they've known you half their life．25．Asking questions might be a quite good and suitable way．A．for you to make more and more new friendsB．to begin your business talksC．to get the conversation going smoothlyD．for you to make a deep and lasting impression on others26．After having asked somebody a question，it'll be polite of you to．A．make clear what kind of person he isB．listen to his reply attentivelyC．wait quietly and patiently for his answerD．go on asking him more questions27．Generally speaking，good talkers are persons who．A．are good at making any topic interestingB．never talk too much or too littleC．always speak in a gentle wayD．know how and when they should change the topic of the talk28．If you really take delight in meeting someone again，．A．you may take him as your lifelong trustworthy friendB．it seems necessary for you to let him know itC．it's proper for you to give him a second handshakeD．it'll be helpful for you to have further understanding of him．CEurope is home to a variety of cultural treasures．Lonely Planet，the world's largest travel guide publisher，has offered pairs of cities for culturehungry but timepoor travelers．London and ParisIt takes you about two hours to travel from London to Paris by Eurostar，a highspeed railway service．The two capital cities have been competing in fashion，art and nightlife for decades﹣but each secretly looks up to the other．No one can doubt the grand and impressive beauty of Paris'Louvre Museum，but if you want to save money，you cannot skip the British Museum free to visit．Compared with London，Paris has more outdoor attractions such as the beautiful green walkway La Promenade Plantee．In Paris，you'll see diners linger over red wine．While in London，you can try some afternoon tea，eat fish and chips or salted cake．Vienna and BratislavaAustrian capital Vienna and Slovakia city Bratislava are an hour apart by train．But since they are linked by the Danube River，the best way to travel is by ship．A tour of the two cities is the perfect way to experience everything from 17th century's Habsburg dynasty splendor to scifi restaurants．Vienna is famous for Mozart and imperial palaces．You can appreciate the perfect blending of architecture and nature in the grand Schonbrunn Palace，and reward yourself with a cup of Vienna coffee，which has made its way to the world's cultural heritage list．Bratislava is best known for its fine dining﹣the remarkable UFO restaurant．You can enjoy a meatladen dinner

phone in a puddle of melted snow．I picked it up and it still worked!I started looking through the contact list and calling numbers to see if I could figure out whose phone it was．Unfortunately，only one person answered and she didn't recognized the number that I was calling．She made a comment of"It is just so nice that you are trying to find out whose phone it is．"Since that lady didn't know whose phone it was，my friend suggested that we go back to the street and the house that we found the Xiao﹣Mi phone in front of．I knocked on the door and two college age people answered．They hadn't lost their phones，but as I told them the story and mentioned some names on the contact list，the young man said that he had those names also and it must be the phone of one of their friends．Then，both of the people commented on how wonderful it was that I took the time to find the owner．I really didn't have anything to say，because in my mind，I was just doing the right thing．I never considered keeping the phone﹣it wasn't mine．I immediately tried to find the owner，because that is exactly what I would want someone to do if either I or my family members lost their phones．Sometimes，helping others is just doing the right thing．And，it felt awesome when I found out it would get back to the owner．The best part was I didn't say who I was﹣give a name，number﹣because doing the right thing felt

Browns met Mr．Snow at the animal shelter．"We want to be sure that the pets here go to good homes，"Mr．Snow said，"So I need to ask you some questions．"After they talked for a while，the Browns decided to get a small dog．It wouldn't need a big house or a big yard．A small dog would bark and warn them if someone tried to break into their house．After Mr．Snow gave the Browns a book on pet care，they chose
