I took my 7-year-old daughter to a restaurant by the beach for lunch. When we arrived, I saw JoJo, a rich man in the hotel business. We sat down to chat in an open-air cafe. Suddenly, our conversation was interrupted(打斷) by a stranger, who politely asked to speak to me alone.

  We stood a bit away from my table. Usually, people who asked to talk to mp told me their

opinions on the shows I hosted. But he was different. He said, “I'm James, the father of a 7-year-old girl who's very sick. Doctors have said that if she is treated in the UK, she will probably become better. I don't have much money. Can you please help me?"

I looked into the man's eyes, which were filled with tears. Then I went to sir back at the table. JoJo asked, "What's wrong? Your face changed." I told him why.

I thought of James and his daughter all the weekend. I even thought of doing a special TV show to collect money for the sick girl. On Monday morning, I was at the office when JoJo walked in, which was surprising because JoJo was so busy. I never thought he would have time to come and see me at the studios.

With a check book in hand, he said, "Please call James and tell him I'll pay for his sick daughter's treatment. I've been married for 35 years, but I'm not lucky enough to have a child. I love children and want to help this child." I called James.

The daughter is living a normal life now and JoJo visits her sometimes. I'm so happy that there're so many good people in this world.

30. The father talked alone with the writer in order to _______.

  A. ask the writer to introduce him to JoJo  B. ask the writer for help to save his daughter

  C. ask the writer to give him a lot of money D. tell the writer what he thought of his shows

31. We can learn from the fourth paragraph that the writer _______.

  A. didn't try to help the sad father     

B. was usually very busy with his work

  C. didn't expect JoJo would come for the sick girl

D. was sure he would find a way to help the girl

32. The writer was thankful that _______.

A. Jojo and he are such good friends

B. so many people helped the sick girl

C. Jojo came to the studios especially to see him

D. there are good people who are ready to help others

I want to tell you a story about myself at the airport. I wanted to fly to France with my family on vacation. Before we took the plane, we had to go through the metal detector (金屬探測儀) at the airport. When I walked through it, the alarm rang.

“Come here, young man.” said the guard at the airport. “Take everything out of your pockets. ” So I took my wallet out and put it on the table. Then I walked through the metal detector again. This time, the alarm didn’t ring. My mother said that maybe there was something made of metal in my wallet, but I didn’t think so. Anyway, we got on the plane successfully and flew to France. The trip was great and I had a good time there.

When we went to the airport in France to fly home, I got into trouble again. When I went through the metal detector, the alarm rang again. I was surprised, so I asked the guard about it. “Let me see what’s in your wallet,” said the guard. So I took out everything out of my wallet. “This one is made of metal,” said the guard, pointing at the pen I bought last week.

_____________________________________________________________________________

2.Where did the writer go on his vacation?
