I was doing the work in the garden yesterday. It was a soft evening and I was making the most of it when I heard a neighbor’s voice coming from the path out of our garden.
“That’s no place to be sleeping!” he said.
I found there was a man lying on his back on the path with his eyes closed. I recognized him. I had seen him doing the drunkard’s (酒鬼) walk along that path several times.
I stopped to walk out. “Do you need some help ” I asked.
He opened his eyes and said, “Probably.” Then he told me because of arthritis (关节炎) he couldn’t walk well at the most of times. I thought I should do it when he asked to help him go home where he lived a few hundred metres away.
I tried to let him walk under his own strength with me guiding him but that was getting us nowhere. It was easier to carry him, but that would be a real insult (侮辱) to him. So, I held his left hand with my left hand and grabbed his belt with my right hand. Then we started walking slowly.
On the way he told me his name, what he had worked as, what holidays he had been, how wonderful his granddaughter was, what his wife’s name was — and what a hard time she would give him when he got home!
Thank goodness! His wife wasn’t in when we walked forty-five minutes back to his home.
If we wait until we feel good about helping before we help, then people will go unhelped and we will become the ones who end up walking on by.
21．When did the story happen
A．When the writer finished his work. B．When the writer was walking on the path.
C．When the writer almost ended up his work. D．When the writer wanted to begin his work.
22．Who was lying on the path
A．A neighbor. B．The writer’s wife. C．A drunkard. D．A gardener.
23．Why didn’t the writer carry the man
A．Because he could walk well by himself. B．Because it would be an insult to him.
C．Because it was only a few hundred meters away. D．Because his wife would give him a hard time.
24．According to the passage, which is RIGHT
A．The man was a talented person. B．The man enjoyed having holidays.
C．The man’s wife was always kind to him. D．The man loved his granddaughter very much.
25．What does the story want to tell us
A．Work hard and you’ll have a better life. B．Give somebody a helping hand in time.
C．Never give up when you meet difficulties. D．Solve problems by yourself when something happens.

Zheng Lin is a junior student in Shijiazhuang, Hebei. Earlier this month, Zheng Lin and his classmates stood on the street with a box to ask people for donations (捐款). Later they gave the money to the poor students in their school.
Many Chinese students raise money to help people in need. Most of the time, they ask for donations on the street or in the park. And sometimes they sell things like old books and CDs. Those students have done a great job so far. The money helps the students in poor areas like Yunnan and Gansu with new clothes, pens and pencils.
Teenagers in the US make donations, too. But they raise money in a different way — by doing something for others. For example, they sell home-made food or hold music concerts in their neighborhood to raise money.
“Chinese students like to wait for people to donate, or sell things that parents buy for them,” said Ge Daoshun, an expert. “While the US kids get donations and give people something useful in return.”
Ge thinks Chinese teenagers should learn to raise money in the “US kids” ways. “In that way, they can show their talents and practice communication. More importantly, they can learn every coin counts. They have to work hard to get a donation,” he said.

27．Why did Zheng Lin and his classmates raise money
