Work is a part of living —my grandparents understood that . They lived and worked on a farm that has been in my family for 150 years. They raised chickens for eggs, pigs and cattle for meat. Cows were kept for milk and the cream, from which Grandma made butter and cheese. What little yard they had became a garden.

The Depression, therefore, didn’t make much change in their lives . But it did bring an unending flow of men out of work, drifting from job to job , to the farm . The first to show up at the door of the kitchen was a man in rags . He took off his hat and quietly explained that he hadn’t eaten for a while. Grandpa stood watching him a bit , then said , “There’s a stack of firewood against the fence behind the barn (谷仓). I’ve been needing to get it moved to the other side of the fence. You have just about enough time to finish the job before lunch.”

Grandma said a surprising thing happened. The man got a shine in his eyes and he hurried to the barn at once. She set another place at the table and made an apple pie . During lunch , the stranger didn’t say much , but when he left , his shoulders had straightened . “Nothing ruins a man like losing his self-respect,” Grandpa later told me.

Soon after, another man showed up asking for a meal. This one was dressed in a suit and carried a small old suitcase. Grandpa came out when he heard voices. He looked at the man and then offered a handshake.“There is a stack of firewood along the fence down behind the barn I’ve been meaning to get it moved. It will be a help to me. And we’d be pleased to have you stay for lunch.” The fellow set his suitcase aside and neatly laid his coat on top. Then he set off to work.

Grandma says she doesn’t remember how many strangers they shared a meal with during those Depression days-or how many times that stack of wood got moved.

21．When he was asked to move a stack of firewood , the first man who asked for a meal got a shine in his eyes for he was glad that .

A．he had found a good job

B．he would have something to eat

C．he would no longer suffer from the Depression

D．he would get what he wanted without losing his self-respect

22．The writer’s grandfather asked those jobless men to move the stack of firewood because .

A．he didn’t want them to have a meal free of charge

B．he had been needing to get it moved

C．he wanted to help them in his own way

D．he wanted to show them his kindness and respect

23．The writer’s grandfather was all of the following but .

A．kind B．thoughtful C．wealthy D．sympathetic

Students who say they never or hardly ever used dictionaries often speak English well but usually write poorly, because they make many mistakes.

The students who use dictionaries most do not learn especially well either. The ones who look up every word do not read fast. Therefore they do not have time to read much .Those who use small two-language dictionaries have the worst problems. Their dictionaries often give one or two words as a translation of English. But one English word has many English translations in Chinese.

The most successful students are those who use large college edition dictionaries with about 100,000 words but do not use them often, When they are reading these students first try to get the general idea and understand the new words from the context .Then they read and use the dictionary to look up only key words that they still do not understand. They use dictionaries more for writing. Also if they think a noun might have an unusual plural form or a verb might have an unusual past form, they check these in a dictionary.

28．The writer tends to think that .

A．Choose a good dictionary, and you will succeed in learning English

B．Dictionaries are not necessary to the students who learn English

C．it is very important for the students to use good dictionaries properly .

D．using dictionaries very often can’t help to improve writing

29．This article mainly tells us .

A．Those students should use small two-language dictionaries.

B．What were the effects
