It was the Greek shopkeeper who taught me about the power of being kind.
In 2016, I left Spain to study alone in London. My parents had to bring up my three younger sisters and two younger brothers, so I found three part-time jobs to pay for my studies. I worked early mornings and late nights, so I was tired, really tired, all the time.
Unfortunately, I got a cold and had a very high fever. Because I had spent all my free time working since I came to London, I hardly took part in any activities and I had no friends. Besides, I was too shy to communicate with others and ask others for help. After sleeping on the sickbed for two days, I went out to get some food. Normally, I went to the supermarket, but this time I went into the Greek shop, a small corner shop, because it was closer.
I picked up some food and gave it to the shopkeeper, who asked me, “You look terrible, my boy! You are not feeling well, right ”
I said YES in a low voice.
She pointed at the salami (腊肠) and bread I was buying and offered, “I can make you a sandwich, so you don’t have to do it yourself.”
I nodded without saying a word.
So, she made the sandwich and asked me to wait a moment. She went into the back room and came again with a bowl of hot soup.
“It will warm you up,” she said with a friendly smile.
What really warmed me up was not the soup. It was her smile that told me she cared for me. Her kindness reminded me of my mother.
I had been quite shy, but from that day on, I did not let shyness prevent me from communicating with and being kind to others. Now I work in a children’s hospital in Africa. I love my work and the people around me. I always bring my smile and kindness to them.

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 (住所). 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 coffee pot was taken away! Later I found out that “Thank you” in French means “No, thank you.”
26.My Spanish friends wanted advice about ________.
A.learning English B.finding places to stay in England
C.driving their car on English roads D.going to England by car
27.I suggested that they stay at bed and breakfast houses because ________.
A.they would be able to practise their English
B.it would be much cheaper than staying in hotels
C.it would be convenient for them to have dinner
D.there would be no problem about finding accommodation there
28.“NO VACANCIES” in English means ________.
A.no free rooms B.free rooms C.not away on holiday D.holidays
29.If you see a road sign that says “Diversion”, you will ________.
A.fall into a hole B.have a lot of fun and enjoy yourself
C.find that the road is blocked by crowds of people D.have to take a different road
30.When someone offered me more coffee and I said “Thank you” in French, I ______.
A.didn’t really want any more coffee B.wanted them to take the coffee pot away
C.really wanted some more coffee D.wanted to express my politeness

六、书面表达
My name is Li Hua. I am a helpful middle school student, and I have been a volunteer for 2 years. As a volunteer, I am going to help the elderly in the community. Many elderly people not only feel lonely but also have difficulty moving. So I plan to visit the elderly every weekend to help them wash clothes and clean up. I believe they no longer feel lonely with my help. In addition, I will learn a lot of knowledge that books cannot learn. I think this job is very meaningful because it will improve my social skills and make me happy. In my spare time, I will continue to help them.
