24、It was a winter morning, just a couple of weeks before Christmas 2008．While most people were warming up their cars, Trevor, my husband, had to get up early to ride his bike four kilometers away from home to work. On arrival, he parked his bike outside the back door as he usually does. After putting in 10 hours of labor, he returned to find his bike gone.
The bike, a black Kona 18 speed, was our only transport. Trevor used it to get to work, putting in 60-hour weeks to support his young family. And the bike was also used to get groceries，saving us from having to walk long distances from where we live.
I was so sad that someone would steal our bike that I wrote to the newspaper and told them our story. Shortly after that, several people in our area offered to help. One wonderful stranger even bought a bike, then called my husband to pick it up. Once again my husband had a way to get to and from his job. It really is an honor that a complete stranger would go out of their way for someone they have never met before. People say that a smile can be passed from one person to another, but acts of kindness from strangers are even more so. This experience has had a spreading effect on our lives because it strengthened our faith in humanity as a whole. And it has influenced us to be more mindful of ways we, too, can share with others. No matter how big or how small, an act of kindness shows that someone cares. And the results can be everlasting.

21、Forget Miami, Los Angeles and New York．The next big Latin music explosion is on its way in secondary markets across the United States, and the numbers are there to back it up．Among all genres or styles, Latin music was the only one registering growth in 2005．From tiny Vero Beach in northern Florida to Des Moines, Iowa, in the heart of the Midwest, from Charlotte, N．C．to Salt Lake City, Latin music sales are skyrocketing．
Wilson says there are two major reasons for the increase．One is simply the Hispanic（说西班牙语国家的）population's increase in specific areas, which encourages stores to carry Latin product for the first time．Second, and perhaps more important, is the fact that major companies—whether dealing in music or not—are addressing the Latin consumer at a corporate （公司的）level, creating Latin departments and hiring Latin ad agencies．One of Handleman's suburban Detroit stores, for example, has expanded its Latin section four times in the last two years．Cities like Milwaukee and Des Moines are now stocking Latin product．
Besides, it also results from economic development．It goes something like this: More often than not, a city or country with a seeming important Hispanic population will suddenly expand its construction or offer affordable housing to those working in larger, neighboring cities．This attracts lower-income workers, many of whom are Latin．Small shops and groceries begin to stock a small selection of music．When the Latin population numbers reach a critical mass, the local mass merchant, if there is one, begins stocking the product．Sooner or later, a local radio station follows; first AM, then FM．Sometimes it's a cable TV show or a small TV station．
Of course, there are other driving forces that should not be forgotten, for example, regional Mexican music．
1．The passage mainly tells readers _____________．
A．that more and more Americans like Latin music
