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 60一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，cart share with others．No matter how big or how small，an act of kindness shows that someone cares．And the results can be everlasting．
53．Why was the bike so important to the couple?
A．The man’s job was bike racing． B．It was their only possession．
C．It was a nice Kona 18 speed． D．They used it for work and daily life．

C．From TV news． D．From a stranger．

Recently．in the hope of getting both money and social experience I became fl door-to-door salesman．I once read a saying，“If somebody wants something of yours，you will be treated as warmly as spring，but if they don’t，you may be treated as coldly as winter．” You may doubt about the words，but if you are a salesman，it is clearly correct．You would never have found it to be true if you hadn’t been a saleman．You needn’t stand doubtful looks and unfriendly comments；you needn’t listen to something completely worng and nod to say that it was quite right；you needn’t always keep patience and a smile；you needn’t repeat the same sentences over again；you needn’t talk to somebody you dislike…
I did this work for a month；then I decided to give it up．Apart from the above reasons， I found I was paying too much attention to the job and thus sacrificing my study time．The latest test result proved that my grades were getting lower．Even worse，I hadn’t enough time to join my classmates in college activities．Sometimes I felt lonely、and unhappy because of both my study and my part-time job．Now I don’t think it is worth doing such a thing even though I was earning money at great cost．
