Question

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.

试题分析：我的丈夫在悉尼待了一段时间，目的是为了我和我的孩子找到住处的房子。然而却在第一个星期丢了手提箱。那里面有许多重要的文件和东西，这让他很着急。最后是怎么样找到的呢？

1.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. ” 可知他一开始到悉尼是要找一所房子。故选B

2.细节理解题。由“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.”可知女孩的父母是在一封信上找到他的电话号码的。故选C

3.词义猜测题。文章中此句意为“他们的这一举动不仅修复了我们的文件，也修复了我们对人们的信心和信任”。 Showed展示；Sent out播送；Delivered递送；Gave back重塑。故选D。

4.主旨大意题。文章中丢失的手提箱和文件是在垃圾箱中找到的，并物归原主。因此“Turning Trash to Treasure”（变废为宝）符合大意。C
