Arriving in Sydney on his own from India, my husband, Rashid, stayed in a hotel
for a short time while looking 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 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.

Since the first Earth Day in 1970, American have gotten a lot “greener” toward 
the environment. “We didn’t know at that time there even was an environment, let 
alone that there was a problem with it,” says Bruce Anderson, president of Earth Day 
USA.
But what began as nothing important in public affairs has grown into a social
movement.  Business people, political leaders, university professors,  and especially
millions   of   grass-roots   Americans   are   taking   part   in   the   movement.   “The
understanding has increased many,  many times,” says Gaylord Nelson, the former
governor from Wisconsin,   who  thought  up  the  first According  to US government
reports, emissions () from cars and trucks have dropped from 10.3 million tons a
year to 5.5 tons.  The number of cities producing CO beyond the standard has been
reduced from 40 to 9.  Although serious problems still remain and need to be dealt
with, the world is a safer and healthier place. A kind of “Green thinking” has become
part of practices.
Great improvement has been achieved.  In 1988 there were only 600 recycling
programs; today in 1995 there are about 6,600. Advanced lights, motors, and building
designs have helped save a lot of energy and therefore prevented pollution.
Twenty-five   years   ago,   there   were   hardly   any   education   programs   for
environment.  Today, it’s hard to find a public school, university, or law school that
does not have such a kind of program.” Until we do that, nothing else will change!”
say Bruce Anderson.

C. Government officials        D. University professors

B. They have settled their environmental problems.
C. They have lowered their CO levels in forty cities.
D. They have reduced pollution through effective measures.

One of the latest trend(趋势)in American Childcare is Chinese au pairs. Au
Pair in Stamford, for example, has got increasing numbers of request for Chinese au
pairs from aero to around 4,000 since 2004. And that’s true all across the country.
“I thought it would be useful for him to learn Chinese at an early age” Joseph
Stocke, the managing director of s company, says of his 2-year-old son. “I would at
least like to give him the chance to use the language in the future.” After only six
months   of   being   cared   by   25-year-old   woman   from   China,   the   boy   can   already
understand basic Chinese daily expressions, his dad says.
Li Drake, a Chinese native raising two children in Minnesota with an American
husband, had another reason for looking for an au pair from China. She didn’t want
her children to miss out on their roots.  “Because I am Chinese, my husband and I
wanted the children to keep exposed to (接触) the language and culture.” she says.
