Arriving?in?Sydney?on?his?own?from?India, my husband, Rashid, stayed?in?a hotel for a short time while looking for a house for me and our children.

During the first week of his stay, he went out one day to do some shopping. He came back in the late afternoon to discover that his suitcase was gone. He was extremely worried as the suitcase had all his important papers, including his passport.

He reported the case to the police and then sat there，lost and lonely in the strange city, thinking of the terrible troubles of getting all the paperwork organized again from a distant country while trying to settle down in a new one.

Late in the evening, the phone rang. It was a stranger. He was trying to pronounce my husband’s name and was asking him a lot of questions. Then he said they had found a pile of papers in their trash can（垃圾桶）that had been left out on the footpath.

My husband rushed to their home to find a kind family holding all his papers and documents. Their young daughter had gone to the trash can and found a pile of unfamiliar papers. Her parents had carefully sorted them out, although they had found mainly foreign addresses on most of the documents. At last they had seen a half-written letter in the pile in which my husband had given his new telephone number to a friend.

That family not only restored the important documents to us that day but also restored our faith and trust in people. We still remember their kindness and often send a warm wish their way.

第二节：(共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分)

阅读下面短文，请将文后标有A—E的句子插入文章中标号36-40的合适位置，使短文连贯完整；其中两个句子是多余的。

You say you’re old enough to stay out late on weekends while they say you have to be home early. 36 You say you’ve met some nice kids and you’d like to go out with them, but they say they’d like to see your friends first.

When you’re a teenager, it seems that every time you say “I want to”, they will certainly answer “No, you can’t.” Also, no part of your life is safe from the “prying eyes” of your parents. 15-year-old Debbie says, “My dad always wants to know where I am, what time I’m going to be home. Most parents do that. Do they have to know everything? 37 ”

38 When something goes wrong, most parents just don’t believe in their children. Without asking why, they think their kids are wrong. And not many parents would allow their kids to choose for themselves.

39 But remember that not too long ago you were really a child. Your parents still remember the childish mistakes you used to make. They want to protect you though you do not want them to do so. And when something seems to threaten your well-being, they worry.
