The old man walked with a cane(拐杖)slowly into the restaurant. His poor jacket

patched(打补丁)trousers and worn-out shoes made him stand out from the usual Saturday morning breakfast crowd. Unforgettable were his pale blue eyes that sparkled like diamonds,large rosy cheeks,and thin lips held in a steady smile.

He walked towards a table by the window. A young waitress watched him and ran over to him, saying,“Here, Sir. Let me give you a hand with that chair”

Without a word,he smiled and nodded a thank you. She pulled the chair away from the table. Steadying him with one arm, she helped him move in front of the chair, and get comfortably seated. Then she pushed the table up close to him,and learned his cane against the table where he could reach it.

In a soft,clear voice he said, “Thank you, Miss”

“You are welcome, Sir.” she replied,“My name is Mary. I’ll be back in a moment. If you need anything, just wave at me.”

After he had finished a hearty meal of pancakes,bacon,and hot lemon tea,Mary brought him the change, helping him up from his chair and out from behind the table. She handed him his cane, and walked with him to the front door. Holding the door open for him, she said, “Come back and see us, Sir.”

He nodded a thank you and said softly with a smile, “You are very kind!”

When Mary went to clean his table,she was shocked. Under his plate she found a business card and a note written on the napkin, under which was a 100$ bill.

The note on the napkin read,“Dear Mary,I respect you very much, and you respect yourself,too. It shows by the way you treat others. You have found the secret of happiness. Your kind gestures will shine through those who meet you. ”

The man she had served was the owner of the restaurant. This was the first time that she,or any of his employees, had seen him in person.

What’s going on under Liverpool?

A Rainy Day in Liverpool

Dark clouds appear over the River Mersey and a cold wind is blowing. A few rain drops are beginning to fall. We’re in the famous city of Liverpool and we’re going to spend this rainy day in the Williamson Tunnels.

An Interesting Life Story

Joseph Williamson was born into a poor family in 1769,but left home and went to work for a tobacco company aged 11. He began at the bottom, and finally became head of the business.

An Unsolved Mystery

Nobody knows why Williamson dug tunnels under most of Liverpool, but many think it was to create jobs. Perhaps half of Liverpool’s population worked for him. The industry of war had made enormous amounts of money, but now Liverpool was in a terrible financial situation.

The King of Edge Hill

I went on a guided tour starting close to where his empire began in Edge Hill. In the tunnels, the steps leading from rooms below ground to those buildings, which no longer exist, seem particularly ghostly.

Incredible Engineering

We go into the Double Tunnel. It’s just been discovered that it’s actually a triple tunnel - but nobody knows why the three tunnels were built on top of each other.

We finish the tour and decide we’ll have a coffee in the Williamson Tunnels Cafe Bar. There, I notice lots of flyers for bands and theater groups that are coming to play there.

Why Liverpool?

Apart from the obvious attractions like the football clubs, or anything to do with the Beatles, Liverpool has a lot to offer. Princes Park and Croxteth Park were royal hunting grounds and the trees are 200 years old. Renshaw Street displays are an unusual mix of architecture styles. The nightlife is exciting. If you want to experience a part of the British Isles with a character entirely different from London, you should definitely come to Liverpool.

1.Which of the following is TRUE about Joseph Williamson?

A. He was born in the early 1700s.

B. He left home when he turned 18.

C. He worked for a tobacco company when he was young.

D. He started his business by himself but ended up broke.

2.Where did Williamson start his business?

A. Princes Park. B. Edge Hill.

C. Croxteth Park. D. Renshaw Street.

3.What can you do in Liverpool?

b. Enjoy Beatles music.

c. Visit famous tourist spots.

d. Enjoy the beautiful beach.

Do you want to travel to cool places, meet foreigners, and learn a foreign language? If you want, consider a study-abroad program. No matter what country you live in, you can learn world trade in Japan, study art in France, or take dancing lessons in Ghana.

Besides the excitement of travel, one reason to study abroad is that you will experience new customs, holidays, food, art and music. Andrew was a student who once studied in France. He said, “I learned French and now I can speak French fluently. When I was in France, I learned about cultures, people and myself. I learned a lot from the stand of a native member of the country, not from a tourist’s stand.”

Another reason for studying abroad is that you’ll gain self-confidence. Christina studied in Caracas, Venezuela, a city of 10 million people. The city is different from her hometown. Christina said she learned how to express herself in another language. That made her more confident.

Living away from home can also help you adjust in the transition to college and adulthood. Matthew said he returned from studying in Australia with confidence and practical knowledge. “After studying abroad in high school, I found the transition to college to be easy. Being 560 miles from home didn’t seem particularly daunting(使人畏缩的) after having lived thousands of miles away.”

1.How many reasons for studying abroad are mainly discussed in this text?

A. Two. B. Three.

C. Four. D. Five.

2.The example of Andrew is used to show that _______.

A. you can study art in France

B. you can learn French when travelling

C. you may have more chances to talk with foreigners

D. you can experience local cultures

3.What’s the purpose of this article?

A. To tell stories of English speakers.

B. To introduce study abroad program

C. To list advantages of traveling abroad.

D. To persuade people to join in a study-abroad program.
