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 a week 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（注意的，留神的）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． 26．Why was the bike so important to the couple?

The report came to the British on May 21,1941． The German battleship Bismarck, the most powerful warship in the world, was moving out into the Atlantic Ocean． Her task: to destroy the ships carrying supplies from the United States to war-torn England．

The British had feared such a task． No warship they had could match the Bismarck in speed or in firepower． The Bismarck had eight 15-inch guns and 81 smaller guns． She could move at 30 nautical miles（海里） an hour, she was believed to be unsinkable．

However, the British had to sink her． They sent out a task force headed by their best battleship Hood to hunt down the Bismarck． On May 24, the Hood found the Bismarck．

It was a meeting that the German commander Luetjens did not want to see． His orders were to destroy the British ships that were carrying supplies, but to stay away from a fight with British warships．

The battle didn’t last long． The Bismarck’s first torpedo（鱼雷）hit the Hood, which went down taking all but three of her 1,419 men with her．

But in the fight, the Bismarck was slightly damaged （损坏）． Her commander decided to run for repairs to France, which had at that time been taken by the Germans． The British force followed her． However, because of the Bismarck’s speed and the heavy fog, they lost sight of her．

For two days , every British ship in the Atlantic tried to find the Bismarck． But with no success． Finally, she was sighted by a plane from Ireland． Trying to slow the Bismarck down so that their ships could catch up with her, the British fired at her from the air． The Bismarck was hit On the morning of May 27, the last battle was fought． Four British ships fired on the Bismarck． And she was finally sunk．

Maybe ten-year-old Elizabeth put it best when she said to her father． “But Dad, you can't be healthy if you're dead．”

Dad , in a hurry to get home before dark so he could go for a run, had forgotten to wear his safety belt--a mistake 75% of the US population make every day． The big question is why． There have been many myths about safety belts ever since their first appearance in cars some forty years ago． The following are three of the most common．

Myth（ 神话）Number One: It's best to be “thrown clear” of a serious accident．

Truth: Sorry , but any accident serious enough to “throw you clear” is also going to be serious enough to give you a very bad landing． And chances are you'll have traveled through a windshield（挡风玻璃）or door to do it． Studies show that chances of dying after a car accident are twenty-five times greater in cases where people are “thrown clear．”

Myth Number Two: Safety belts “trap” people in cars that are burning or sinking in water． Truth: Sorry again． but studies show that people knocked unconscious（昏迷） due to not wearing safety belts have a greater chance of dying in these accidents． People wearing safety belts are usually protected to the point of having a clear head to free themselves from such dangerous situations, not to be trapped in them．

Myth Number Three: Safety belts aren't needed at speeds of less than 30 miles per hour Truth: when two cars traveling at 30 mph hit each other． An unbelted driver would meet the windshield with a force equal to diving headfirst into the ground from a height of 10 meters． 36．Why did Elizabeth say to her father, “But． Dad, you can't be healthy if you're dead”?

A． He was driving at great speed． C． He didn't have his safety belt on．

B． He was running across the street． D． He didn't take his medicine on time．

37．The reason Father was in a hurry to get home was that he＿＿＿＿＿． A． wasn't feeling very well B． hated to drive in the dark C． wanted to take some exercise D． didn't want to be caught by the police

The easy way out isn't always easiest． I learned that lesson when I decided to treat Doug , my husband of one month , to a special meal． I glanced through my cookbook and chose a menu（菜谱） which included homemade bread． Knowing the bread would take time , I started on it as soon as Doug left for work． As I was not experienced in cooking , I thought if a dozen was good , two dozens would be better , so I doubled（加倍）everything．As Doug loved oranges , I also opened a can of orange and poured it all into the bowl ． Soon there was a sticky dough （面团） covered with ugly yellowish marks． Realizing I had been defeated , I put the dough in the rubbish bin outside so I wouldn't have to face Doug laughing at my work , I went on preparing the rest of the meal , and , when Doug got home , we sat down to eat Cornish chicken with rice． He tried to enjoy the meal but seemed disturbed． Twice he got up and went outside , saying he thought he heard a noise． The third time he left , I went to the windows to see what he was doing． Looking out , I saw Doug standing about three feet from the rubbish bin , holding the lid up with a stick and looking into the container． When I came out of the house , he dropped the stick and explained that there was something alive in our rubbish bin． Picking up the stick again , he held the lid up enough for me to see． I felt cold． But I stepped closer and looked harder． Without doubt it was my work ． The hot sun had caused the dough to double in size and the fermenting yeast （酵母）made the surface shake and sigh as though it were breathing ．It looked like some unknown being from outer space． I could see why Doug was so shaken． I had to admit what the 'living thing” was and why it was there ． I don't know who was more embarrassed（尴尬）by the whole thing － Doug or me． 41．The writer's purpose in writing this story is ___________ A．to tell an interesting experience

C．to describe the trouble facing a newly married woman

D．to explain the difficulty of learning to cook from books
