Many years ago, when I was fresh out of school and working in Denver, I was driving to my parents' home in Missouri for Christmas. I stopped at a gas station about 50 miles from Oklahoma City, where I was planning to stop and visit a friend. While I was standing in line at the cash register(收款台), I said hello to an older couple who were also paying for gas.
I took off, but had gone only a few miles when black smoke poured from the back of my car. I stopped and wondered what I should do. A car pulled up behind me. It was the couple I had spoken to at the gas station. They said they would take me to my friend's. We chatted on the way into the city, and when I got out of the car, the husband gave me his business card.
I wrote him and his wife a thank-you note for helping me. Soon I received a Christmas present from them. Their note that came with it said that helping me had made their holidays meaningful.
Years later, , I drove to a meeting in a nearby town in the morning. In late afternoon I returned to my car and found that I'd left the lights on all day, and the battery was dead. Then I noticed that the Friendly Ford dealership--a shop selling cars--was right next door. I walked over and found two salesmen in the showroom.
"Just how friendly is Friendly Ford?" I asked and explained my trouble. They quickly drove a pick-up truck to my car and started it. They would accept no payment, so when I got home, I wrote them a note to say thanks. I received a letter back from one of the salesmen. No one had ever taken the time to write him and say thank you, and it meant a lot , he said.
"Thank you"--two powerful words. They're easy to say and mean so much.What happened when the writer found smoke coming out of his car?
| A．He had it pulled back to the gas station. |
| B．He pushed his car to a car dealership. |
| C．The couple passing by offered to drive him home. |
| D．He called his friend for help. |

| A．What can I do for you? |
| B．Would you please help me? |
| C．Can I explain my problem? |
| D．Do you have time to drive me home? |
When the salesman received the writer’s thanks-note, he must be _____.
| A．moved | B．worried |
| C．nervous | D．calm |
Which may be the best title of the passage?
| A．My two powerful words | B．My two experiences |

There are many kinds of amazing animals in the world．Have you ever watched one of them﹣Canada geese （雁）？They can teach us a lesson about teamwork（合作）．
In autumn，Canada geese have to fly to the warm south to get away from Canada'cold winter．When they leave the ground and rise into the air，they fly in no order．Then they quickly form a V shape，with one bird leading the group．
The V shape allows Canada geese to save energy．The head bird moves its wings（翅膀） up and down．The resulting（产生的） force of the air help lift the next bird．Each bird will do so until they get to the southern part．The bird at the head of the group has the hardest job．When it gets tired，another bird moves to the front and takes its place （代替它）．By sharing this job，the group can travel great distances．Canada geese flying in a V shape can fly seventy percent farther without having a rest than the birds flying alone．
During the long flying journey，Canada geese communicate with one another，They honk（鸣叫） to encourage the birds up front to keep up the speed．They also cheer one another up while working toward the same destination．
What have we learned from the lovely Canada geese's experience and skills？
Work together!Whether in our personal lives or our jobs，we need the spirit of teamwork!
