He came back in the late afternoon to discover that his suitcase was gone. He was extremely worried as the suitcase had all his important papers, including his passport.He reported the case to the police and then sat there, lost and lonely in a strange city, thinking of the terrible troubles of getting all the paperwork organized again from a distant country while trying to settle down in a new one.Late in the evening, the phone rang. It was a stranger. He was trying to pronounce my husband’s name and was asking him a lot of questions. Then he said they had found a pile of papers in their trash can (垃圾桶) that had been left out on the footpath.My husband rushed to their home to find a kind family holding all his papers and documents (文件). Their young daughter had gone to the trash can and found a pile of unfamiliar papers. Her parents had carefully sorted them out, although they had found mainly foreign addresses on most of the documents. At last they had seen a half-written letter in the pile in which my husband had given his new telephone number to a friend.That family not only restored the important documents to us that day but also restored our faith and trust in people. We still remember their kindness and often send a warm wish their way.21. What did Rashid plan to do after his arrival in Sydney?A. Go shoppingB. Find a houseC. Join his familyD. Take his family22.

I know lots of people would rather relax on their computers or in front of the TV. Everyone is different and has their own interests, but I think there are lots of benefits of reading books, which screen-based activities (games, films, TV, etc.) don't have: Firstly, it's better' for your eyes. Looking at screens can be very stressful for your eye muscles, and to, get a good night's sleep, you should avoid looking at screens for an hour before bed.One thing I personally love about reading is being transported to another world. Reading is a great way to switch off before you go to bed, because you think more about the world of the book, rather than the real world and the problems you have during the day and you can truly relax. I know you can be transported to a different world in a film or a TV show, but I think books do it better. While seeing a film, I often talk to my flat mates, send texts, or paint my nails. A book, on the other hand, controls your full attention.I also love people. I am nosy and enjoy hearing what people are doing and finding out what people think about. Reading gives you the chance to get to know hundreds of new people! It also teaches you to see things from other people's points of view, and understand other people's decisions or opinions. With a book, you can learn everything a character is thinking about or feeling. You really can be inside someone else's head!So give it a go! Take 15 minutes when you wake up, go to bed, eat lunch, or have a coffee. If you read a lot, why not try 15 minutes of an English book, or pass the challenge on to someone else? Good luck and happy reading!25. What do we know about the author's father?A. He doesn't like relaxing.B. He doesn't enjoy reading books.C. He enjoys screen-based reading.D.
