the explorers (探险者) landed on the moon, they discovered that the moon was full of underground
cities. They expressed their surprise to the "moon people" they met. In turn, the "moon people"
expressed their surprise. "Why," they asked, "are you traveling to outer space when you don't even
use your inner space?"
H. G. Wells could only imagine travel to the moon. In 1969, human beings really did land on the
moon. People today know that there are no underground cities on the moon. However, the question
that the "moon people" asked is still an interesting one. A growing number of scientists are seriously
thinking about it.
Underground systems are already in place. Many cities have underground car parks. In some
cities, such as Tokyo, Seoul and Montreal, there are large underground shopping areas. The
"Chunnel", a tunnel (隧道) connecting England and France, is now complete.Uncle Tom gave little
Vicki Black a birthday gift one week before her birthday. He told her not to open it until her birthday.
She knew her mother wouldn't tolerate any disrespect to the kind man who helped them out after
Vicki's father passed away. Besides, Vicki didn't want Uncle Tom to get angry. But little Vicky didn't
want to just hold it and guess what was in it. After all, she looked forward to his coming to show her
interesting things, like how to turn an old sock into a doll.
All the day, Vicki couldn't stop thinking about the gift. While her teacher was giving a lecture? Vicki
sat still in her seat, drawing paper dolls inside the box. When school was done, she raced home.
Walking into the room, again, she shook the present, but she heard nothing. Holding her breath, she
opened the box and looked inside. Seconds later, she cried. When Mrs. Black saw the box, she said
angrily, "Didn't I tell you to leave it alone?" Vicki sobbed and said, "Mommy, you don't understand."
"Don't cry to me. You have missed everything now, just because you couldn't wait," Mrs. Black
accused. "What will Uncle Tom think now?"
"Uncle Tom gave me nothing," Vicki cried and handed the empty box to her mother. "He played
a trick on me."
Mrs. Black said doubtfully, "Uncle Tom is not like that. You must have dropped it."
Vicki kept crying. Only a rapid knock on the door made the house quiet. It was Uncle Tom. He
looked at the empty box. "You have already done it? I told you to wait for your birthday."
"You didn't give me a gift." Fresh tears filled her eyes.
"I try to give you something. I know your birthday is a special day. I tell myself to give you
something valuable to last your whole life. I think hard and get the idea to give you an important lesson.
If you open it on birthday, I see you learn. Then I will make a big party to celebrate. Maybe next year
you listen and then you will understand the gift better."

said to the driver, "Thank you for the ride. You did a good job of driving."
The taxi driver was shocked for a second. Then he said, "Are you a wise man or something?"
"No, my dear man, and I'm not putting you on. I like the way you keep cool in heavy traffic."
"Yeah," the driver said and drove off.
"What was that all about?" I asked.
"I am trying to bring love back to New York," he said. "I believe it's the only thing that can save
the city."
" How can one man save New York?"
"It's not one man. I believe I have made that taxi driver's day. Suppose he has 20 fares(乘客).
He's going to be nice to those 20 fares because someone was nice to him. Those fares in turn will be
kinder to their shopkeepers or waiters or even their own families. Finally the goodwill could go to at
least 1000 people. Now that isn't bad, is it?"
"But you're depending on that taxi driver to pass your goodwill to others."
"I'm not depending on it," my friend said. "I might deal with ten different people today. If out of ten
I can make three happy, then I can have an effect on 3000 more people."
"It sounds good on paper," I said, "but I'm not sure it works in practice."
"Nothing is lost if it doesn't. It didn't take any of my time to tell that man he was doing a good job.
He neither received a larger tip nor a smaller tip. If it fell on deaf ears, so what? Tomorrow there will
be another taxi driver I can try to make happy."

C. pleased
D. surprised
B. Because he hoped to bring love to the city.
