One day, when my wife and I were leaving a restaurant, I heard a man's voice from a car in the car-park. After a quick look at the ear, 1 noticed the Pennsylvania license plate (牌照) at once, so I knew they had come from far away. The young man had his head partly out of the window and spoke to me as I moved closer, "Excuse me, my wife and I are trying to find a room for the night and every place in the area seems to be filled up. Do you have any suggestions for us where we might find a room?"
Well, that didn't surprise me. After all, it was the busy time of the year for tourism. As he spoke, I noticed that his wife was pregnant (怀孕的). 1 told them that they should just keep searching (搜寻) and wished them good luck in their search. The young husband didn't say any other word and backed out of the car-park and headed off. We also got into our car and drove home.
After a short drive, I couldn't get this young couple out of my mind. Here they were, traveling in a different state, tired, the wife pregnant. It was at that moment that my wife told me we needed to go back and find that couple. We went back and looked for them. We even went as fat as the mountain. I'm happy that this story had a happy ending. We found them in the end, gave them a room, and now we are close friends.

When I was leaving to meet Lynne, my friend Tony told me that I’d better take some money. But I didn't listen to him. I thought Lynne would pay because she had invited me. I arrived at the restaurant on time. I know Americans expect you to be on time. Lynne and I sat at a table and a waiter brought us some delicious food.
The dinner was a great success. We talked a lot while eating. After two hours, the waiter finally came and asked if we wanted one check (账单）or two, Lyrme said two. We went to the cashier and Lynne paid her check. I was embarrassed when the cashier gave me my bill. I had no money to pay for my meal. Then I had an idea. I said，“Oh! I forgot my wallet! Can I call my friend, please?" The cashier showed me where the phone was and I quickly called Tony. In a few minutes, he arrived with some money, and paid my check. He laughed at me all the way home. Now, I think it's funny too, but at that time I was very embarrassed. I thought an invitation to  have dinner in America meant the same thing as that in China. Now 1 think you have to understand thai your customs are only your customs. When you visit a foreign country, you have to learn about their customs, too. They can be quite different.
Fill in the blanks according to the passage. Only one word for each blank.

On a cold December morning, my mother and I were walking home from pizza store. We were  1  warmly and equipped with the video___2___ we had been trying to watch. I was feeling a little tired  3  I was carrying our shopping bags of snacks and the video.
They were so  4  that I decided to throw away some of them. So I started to walk towards the dustbin __5___I noticed a poor man stepping out of the restaurant in front of us. He held a paper bag with his dirty hand. He  6  over to another nearby dustbin and started looking  7  it.
I suddenly felt very upset. I know this man would take all he could get, so I walked up to him and  8  the drink and some snacks to him. The man, with lines on his face and wrinkles(皱纹) on his forehead, looked up in  9  and took what I gave him.
A huge smile spread across his face and this made  10   feel indescribable satisfaction(满意). I felt like I couldn’t be happier with __11___, but then he said, “Wow, first someone gives me this sandwich, then this drink, and now some tasty food, this is my daughter’s 12 day!”
He thanked me happily and started off on his bike. I even heard him whistling(吹哨) a song as he  13  away.
I now understand what is meant by the saying “giving is getting”. Everyone in the world needs help, everyone can  14  help and everyone will be helped by something kind.
The image(图像) of that man’s happiness  15  by my small gift appears in my mind every time I have the chance to do something nice.
