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 weeks to support his young family.And the bike was also used to get groceries（食品雜貨），saving us from having to walk along 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 us to be more mindful 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（永恒的）.

（1）Why was the bike so important to the couple？
A
A

A．They used it for work and daily life.
B．It was their only possession（財產）.
C．It was a nice Kona 18 speed.
D．The man's job was bike racing.
（2）How did people get to know the couple's problem？

（3）What do the couple learn from their experience？

1．When I lived in Spain，some Spanish friends of mine decided to visit England by car.Before they left，they asked me for advice about how to find accommodation.I suggested that they should stay at "bed and breakfast" houses，because this kind of accommodation gives a foreign visitor a good chance to speak English with the family.My friends listened to my advice，but they came back with some funny stories.
   "We didn't stay at "bed and breakfast" houses，" they said， "because we found that most families were away on holiday."
   I thought this was strange.Finally I understood what had happened.My friends spoke little English，and they thought "VACANCIES" meant "holidays"，because the Spanish word for "holidays" is "vacaciones".So they did not go to house where the sign outside said "VACANCIES"，which in English means there are free rooms.Then my friends went to house where the sign said "NO VACANCIES"，because they thought this meant the people who owned the house were not away on holiday.But they found that these houses were all full.As a result，they stayed at hotels!
   We laughed about this and about mistakes my friends made in reading other signs.In Spanish，the word "DIVERSION" means fun.In English，it means that workmen are repairing the road，and that you must take a different road.When my friends saw the word "DIVERSION" on a road sign，they thought they were going to have fun.Instead，the road ended in a large hole.
   English people have problems too when they learn foreign languages.Once in Paris，when someone offered me some more coffee，I said "Thank you" in French.I meant that I would like some more.However，to my surprise，the coffeepot was taken away!Later I found out that "Thank you" in French means "No，thank you."

（1）The writer's friends in Spain wanted to get advice about

.
A．the chance of learning English

（3）The writer's friends stayed at hotels at last because

.
A．they misunderstood the signs outside the door
B．there were no such "bed and breakfast" houses in England

2．I had been in the city for some time and was coming home.I missed my boat and decided to travel on an old ship.I knew that it would not be a comfortable journey but I had no time to wait for another boat.
   Hardly had we left the port when I saw the dog Gulliver，the captain's favourite dog，for the first time.What a big dog it was！I had never seen one that could frighten me so much!
   On the third day the ship caught fire.Nobody tried to put it out.The ship began sinking and all the men rushed to the lifeboats.I saw no chance of getting away in a boat.Suddenly I remembered there was a life raft（橡皮救生筏） on the ship.I had no time，so I immediately rushed towards the raft and pushed it into the water.
   In jumping down onto the raft I hurt myself badly and was unconscious for some time.When I came to，I found there was no sign of a lifeboat.Every man who had been on board the ship must have gone down with her.I was the only one who was saved.

3．The most frightening words in the English language are "Our computer is down"．You hear it more and more when you are on business．
   The other day I was at the airport waiting for a ticket to Washington and the girl in the ticket office said， "I'm sorry，I can't sell you a ticket．Our computer is down．"
   "If your computer is down，just write me out a ticket．"
   "I can't write you out a ticket．The computer is the only one allowed to do so．"
   I looked down on the computer and every passenger was just standing there drinking coffee and staring at the black screen．Then I asked her， "What do all your people do？"
   "We give the computer the information about your trip，and then it tells us whether you can fly with us or not．"
   "So when it goes down，you go down with it．"
   "That's right，sir．"
   "How long will the computer be down？" I wanted to know．
   "I have no idea．Sometimes it's down for 10 minutes，sometimes for two hours．There's no way we can find out without asking the computer，and since it's down it won't answer us．"
   After the girl told me they had no backup （備用） computer，I said， "Let's forget the computer．What about your planes？They're still flying，aren't they？"
   "I couldn't tell without asking the computer．"
   "Maybe I could just go to the gate and ask the pilot if he's flying to Washington，" I suggested．
   "I wouldn't know what gate to send you to．Even if the pilot was going to Washington，he couldn't take you if you didn't have a ticket．"
  "Is there any other airline flying to Washington within the next few hours？"
   "I wouldn't know，" she said，pointing at the dark screen． "Only 'IT' knows． 'IT' can't tell me．"
   By this time there were quite a few people standing in lines．The word soon spread to other travelers that the computer was down．Some people went white；some people started to cry and still others kicked their luggage．
