The first time I went for a walk around my father-in-law’s neighbourhood in America was Garbage Day,and I was shocked to see what people were throwing out.
It was back in 1981,and I saw many people gather in someone’s front yard.As I went nearer to see what was happening,I got my first introduction to yard sales.For the few dollars I had in my wallet,I was able to buy a seven-inch black-and-white portable TV.I also bought a flashlight.
The following weekend,at another yard sale,I saw a 14-inch colour TV being sold for almost nothing.I felt I could not miss the offer and bought it.Now I had two sets and couldn’t wait to see what else I could afford the next weekend.
Spring ended,and by then I had accumulated almost every type of electronic equipment I had always wished to have back home.
Then this new idea came to mind.I had heard about a man who travelled back home every few months.He drove a truck filled with boxes of new and used stuff that people were sending to relatives.So I told my father that I would send as many types of items as I could so that he could start his resale business.
Every few months I would gather several boxes of American “junk” televisions,toasters,fans,hair dryers,etc.and sent them home.As word got out about my father’s “trash” market,people all came to buy these things.
Three years later,when I visited my family for the first time since leaving home,I learned that many of the families in our neighborhood had a piece of “trash”.It proved that I had the responsibility to keep people back home in Guatemala up to date with the latest technology you no longer need.

There are many different ways of seeing a town for the first time. One of them is to walk around it, guide-book 26 hand. Of course, we may 27 with our guide-books the history and 28 developments of a town and get to know them.
29 then, if we take our time and 30 in a town for a while, we may get to know it better. When we 31 it as a whole, we begin to have some 32 , which even the best guide-books do not
answer. Why is the town just 33 this —— this shape, this plan, this size? Why do its streets 34 in this particular way, and not in any 35 way?
Here even the best guide-book 36 us. One can’t find the information in it about how a town has developed to the 37 appearance. It may not describe the original 38 of a town. However, one may get some idea of what it 39 look like by walking around the town. One can also imagine 40 the town was first planned and built. Then one can learn more about in what direction the town 41 to develop.

When I was a boy, I used to love walking in the woods around my home．My mom warned me several times never to travel so far that I would lose sight of the house．Being a typical boy, however, I soon found myself hiking further and further away, testing just how far I could go into the woods without getting lost．After losing my way once for two hours, though, I decided that I had better leave a trail the next time I went for a walk．
The very next day I decided to try it．I walked into the woods until the house was out of sight．Then I broke a small branch on a young tree to mark my place．I wandered further in and broke another limb and then another．In a few spots where there were no limbs small enough, I snapped the heads off the low plants that were growing where the sunlight broke through the trees．After a while I finally got tired and decided to head back．Turning around I easily found my tracks, but instead of being proud I felt sad．I could see the trail of destruction I had left in the woods going on and on．Looking at the broken limbs and dead flowers I wondered if God was disappointed in me and I vowed never to do that again．Instead, I started to cherish my times alone in the woods with nature．I’d sit by the streams and listen to them sing．I’d watch the birds and squirrels．I’d bend down to smell the flowers．And I even buried an acorn or two hoping that one day an Oak might grow．
There is an old Native American Saying that goes “We will be known forever by the tracks we leave．” As I have grown older and wiser, I have done my best to never leave a trail of destruction in my life as I did in the woods that day．I have instead tried to leave tracks of love, kindness, goodness, and compassion and I have strived to show others that they can do the same．May you always leave tracks of joy as you follow your own trail of love．
1.When the boy headed back from the woods, he felt sad because ______
A．he lost his way in the woods
B．he could find his tracks so easily
C．he left many trails of destruction
D．God was very disappointed in him
2.The boy took off some branches to ______．
A．protect himself
B．make his way out
C．see the sun clearly
D．leave some marks
3.The author wrote the passage to ______．
A．call on us to leave tracks of virtues in life
B．inform us that we shouldn’t destroy trees
C．tell us how to avoid getting lost in the woods
D．show us ways to get back home in the forest

Today, after 10 days of medical treatment, for the first time, I went out alone to meet a motherly lady who I had met during my stay in a program. She had been unwell recently and lived alone. Her sons live in foreign countries.
After I called her and told about my plan to visit her, she started becoming excited and planning food at once. Nowadays, she has a lady cook coming by to help her but she does part of the work herself with her bandaged (绷带) leg.
I reached her home alone after being guided a couple of times by her before. I carried little things (snacks, books etc.) for her. She had been waiting for some time when I arrived. We talked about different things from health to her life and mine, from past to future, from food to travel etc. During the discussion, her care for me became clear when she made warm suggestions or supported me.
During the last few months, she had struggled with health and housework. She had got over those difficulties and here she was telling me how all of us must face some problems. She had seen a few people facing worse problems in the hospital and mentioned about their cases and was grateful for her present condition which was manageable.
She wanted to gift me something—she kept thinking of a dress, watch, footwear etc. whatever was new and great in her home. I kept refusing but finally took the footwear out of politeness.
She loved the snacks I had brought and wanted to eat them with her tea, I was quite happy to see the childlike interest.
While I was spending time with my motherly friend, the following thought kept coming back to me—probably this is why I have lived through the 10 days in this city. The time I spent with her seemed so much needed. I felt the deep peace it could bring to me and that brought such a big joy!

A. It is impolite to turn down the warm-hearted offer.
B. She happened to need such shoes to wear.
C. It would be a waste to keep shoes unused.
