8．A woman and a man were involved in a car accident on a snowy cold Monday morning．Both of their cars became totally damaged．But amazingly neither of them was hurt．God works in mysterious ways．
After they got out of their cars，the woman said，"So you are a man．That's interesting．I'm a woman．Wow，just look at our cars!There is nothing left，but we're unhurt．This must be a sign from God that we should meet and be friends and live together in peace for the rest of our days．"
Flattered，the man replied，"Oh yes，I agree with you completely．This must be a sign from God!"
The woman continued，"and look at this，here is another miracle．My car is completely destroyed but this bottle of wine doesn't break．Surely God wants us to drink this wine and celebrate our good fortune．"Then she handed the bottle to the man．
The man nodded his head in agreement，opened it and drank half the bottle and then handed it back to the woman．The woman took the bottle and immediately put the cap on，and handed it back to the man．
The man asked，"Aren't you having some？"

7．Robert Ilijason，a 39-year-old IT specialist，once had to drive 20minutes with his screaming baby in the backseat to an open grocery store to buy food for his hungry son．It was the late-night experience that gave Robert Ilijason the idea to open Sweden's first unstaffed convenience store．
Now Robert Ilijason runs a 24-hour shop with no cashier．Customers use their cell phones to unlock the door and scan their purchases．All they need to do is to register for the service and download an app．They get charged for their purchases each month．
The shop has basics like milk，bread，sugar，canned food and other products that you expect to find in a small convenience store．But it doesn't have tobacco or medical drugs because of the risk of theft．Alcohol cannot be sold in convenience stores in Sweden．
The no-service store has more advantages．Raymond Arvidsson，a friend of Ilijason's，did his shopping in less than a minute．"No queues，"he said，smiling．"Quick in，quick out．I like．"
"My ambition is to spread this idea to other villages and small towns，"said Ilijason．"It is incredible that no one has thought of this before．"He hopes the savings of having no staff will help bring back small stores to the countryside．
But a bigger challenge has been facing some of the elderly residents in Viken．Tuve Nilsson，75，said there were many more shops in the town when he moved here with his family in 1976．He welcomed Ilijason's new store，saying it could be convenient for elderly people living alone．But he didn't know how to get the hang of the technology involved．
Ilijason is considering other ways to unlock the door that wouldn't require using an app．He's ruled out face-recognition or fingerprint scanners，but is thinking of installing a credit card reader like some banks use．He's also considering having one person man the store for a few hours a day to help customers who aren't comfortable with modern technology．
21．Robert Ilijason's late-night experience is mentioned to tell usA．
A．why he opened the unstaffed food shop
B．how to open the unstaffed food shop

23．From what Raymond Arvidsson said，we learn the shop is well known forD．

B．its kind service
C．its good safety
D．its quick purchase
24．It can be inferred from the passage thatB．
A．Ilijason's store has no disadvantages
B．all the customers are not comfortable with modern technology
C．Ilijason will not open another kind of this no-service store
D．face-recognition will be dismissed in Ilijason's new store．

6．It's that time of year when people need to lock their cars．It's not because there're lots of criminals stealing cars．Rather，it's because of good-hearted neighbors who want to share their harvest．Especially with this year's large crop，leaving a car unlocked in my neighborhood is an invitation for someone to stuff it with zucchini（西葫芦）．
My sister，Sharon，recently had a good year of tomatoes．She and her family had eaten and canned so many that they begun to feel their skin turn slightly red．She decided to share her blessings．She called everyone she knew．When that failed，she began asking everyone in the neighborhood，eventually finding a neighbor delighted to have the tomatoes．"Feel free to take whatever you want，"Sharon told her．She felt happy that she could help someone and that the food didn't go to waste．
A few days later，the neighbor appeared in her house，holding a hot loaf of bread．She smiled，"I wanted to thank you for the tomatoes，and I have to admit I took a few other things too．"
Sharon couldn't think of anything else that had been worth harvesting and said so，"Oh，but you did，"the neighbor said．"You had some of the prettiest zucchini I've ever seen．"
Sharon was confused．They hadn't even planted any zucchini．But her neighbor insisted there were bright-green zucchini in her garden．Sharon decided to go to see where the zucchini had grown．The two of them walked t into the backyard．When the neighbor pointed at the long green vegetables，Sharon smiled，"Well，actually，those are cucumbers that we never harvested，because they got too big，soft and bitter for eating．"
The neighbor looked at Sharon，shock written all over her face．Then，smiling，she held out the bread she had shared all over the neighborhood．"I brought you a nice loaf of cucumber bread．I hope you will like it．"

5．Of course，she wasn't really my aunt and，out of fear，I never called her that to herface．I only referred to her as"My Aunt Fannie"because the name always made my father laugh quietly and gave my mother cause to look strictly at both of us-at me for being disrespectful of my elder and at my father for encouraging my bad behavior．I enjoyed both reactions so I looked for every opportunity to work the name into as many conversations as possible．
As a young woman，my mother had worked in the kitchen of a large Victorian farmhouse．During those years my mother helped Aunt Fanny make the best blueberry jam （蓝莓酱） ever tasted by anyone in Glenfield．She was well-known for her jam and for never sharing the recipe with others．Even though my mother knew the recipe by heart，as long as Aunt Fannie was alive，she never made the jam without Aunt Fannie in our kitchen to direct the process and preserve the secret．
Each August，my mother would prepare me for Aunt Fannie's visit．One year，after I had helped with the jam process Aunt Fannie gave me a coin and then made me promise that I would never spend it．"Hold onto this coin，"she said，"and someday you will be rich．I still have my very first coin，given to me by my grandmother．"So I kept the coin in a small box and waited to become rich．
I now have the blueberry jam recipe and the coin from Aunt Fannie．In people's eyes Aunt Fannie's success resulted from that secret recipe．But to me，it was just a common recipe．Neither have significantly made me become a rich person，but I keep them as reminders to hold onto the valuable things in life．Money can make you feel rich for a while，but it is the relationships and the memories of time spent with friends and family that truly leave you wealthy．And that is a fortune that anyone can build．

4．I have been watching my daughters play sports since they were four，and have been shocked at how some parents in the crowd behave．
At soccer games，when my girls were very young，parents would be screaming at their children to get their heads into the game，to charge，to"get"an opposing player，or to"kill it．"I understand parents want to encourage their children and their team-but at some point it becomes too much．
My daughter Grace is a high school and AAU （Association of American Universities） basketball player and a very good one at that．During a recent game，a parent sitting near me was shouting loudly to her daughter，standing up，expressing displeasure about the way her team was playing and，during halftime，speaking loudly about her personal life．After having her in my ear for more than half of the game，I was so put off that I had to move．
Admittedly，I am the quiet parent at games．I clap for the schoolgirls when they make wonderful plays．For the most part，however，I remain silent．Shouting out makes them nervous．
I asked Grace to weigh in on this，and she tells me："Some parents become extremely emotionally invested in sports games，which can become a problem for the players．The worst thing is when people point out that‘crazy parent，'and they don't know that's your parent．"
I am all for parent spectators cheering on their children and the rest of the team．But I hope you can cheer your children on in a positive way．Shouting things like，"Where's your head？""Go after her!"is not，in my view，the way to cheer on high school students or younger children．
If you have nothing positive to say，hold your tongue．If you find yourself struggling to keep it together，get some fresh air during halftime．

24．Who are the intended readers of the text？A
A．Parents． B．Teenage players． C．Soccer spectators． D．Coaches．
