  I still remember the day I was driving to the supermarket I own. When I came out, I found a boy cleaning my car with a brush. I went over and patted (拍) him  31  the shoulder, which surprised him very much. In no time he began to   32   at me, so I was sure he  33  some money. From the shoes he was wearing I could hardly imagine how poor he was. So I offered him a $100 bill. To my great surprise, he  34   to take it. When I was wondering what he was doing, he said,“I was waiting here for 4 hours, waiting for you. Your  35  is so beautiful and I like it. But I don’t need that.” I knew he was mentioning the  36 .

   As he refused the money, I offered to drive him around the town. The boy became so  37  that he got into the car at once,“Would you please drive me office? It is only about 3miles.” What the boy wanted to do was to show off to his friends and his family.  38  I stopped, he jumped out and ran into an old building, telling me to wait there for some time. Very soon he came out, Saying to a little girl on his back,“Look at this beautiful car, I will buy you  39  some day.”

I noticed his sister had a pale (蒼白的) face,  40  ,her legs were too thin, and she was unable to  41.

After that day, I went to his home several times. And I got to know more about him and his family. Poor as they were, the boy  42  refused my money, and said,“I can  43  money by myself, thank you.”

Soon I told my manager of the supermarket that a boy would go to 44   here the next day.

How would we travel without maps? It would be a bit adventurous (冒險的) to set off from Oxford University to go to London Bridge if there wasn't a map of the London Underground at each station. In fact, a lot of the early map-makers were adventurers and explorers, especially in the 15th and 16th centuries.
So what did people do before there were maps? Well, it was quite easy to use natural signs like mountains and rivers if you were travelling on foot or riding a horse. People took small boats down rivers and followed coastlines. And it was much more logical (合理的) to use time, not distance, to measure (計量) journeys: the next village is a three-hour ride, for example.
In fact, in the earliest maps, people didn't draw landmarks. They drew the stars. It was very easy to see the night sky and use it for navigation (航行). The sky was a lot clearer before the light pollution from cities that we have today. When towns and cities were built, people drew road maps which gave correct distances and directions.
The London Underground was opened in 1863 and it also used a road map style. But a man called Henry Beck realized that travelling by train wasn't the same as driving your car across London. Passengers only needed to know which stations to change at. His new design (設計) for the Underground map wasn't very popular with the train companies at first. But the passengers loved it and in 1933, 700,000 copies were printed.
These days, of course, you can ride a bike, drive a car or go through a forest and know where you are exactly, using a GPS. It's really difficult to get lost!
【小題1】What was drawn in the earliest maps?

Dear Bill,
I’m glad to receive your letter,thank you for your caring for the weather and my health.But I am sorry to tell you that I have to stay at home because of the heavy fog and haze .
Since the winter last year,the fog and haze has appeared a lot of times.it has done great harm to our daily life.Many traffic accidents happened just because of the heavy fog and haze weather,more and more people have to go to see the doctor because the serious disease caused by the fog and haze ,quite a lot of flights have to be put off,a great number of people have to stay at home for fear of the poisonous air caused by the fog and haze.
According to the Chinese Academy of Science,driving car and burning coal are two main reasons.People have been told : Don’t do outdoor sports;If you have to go out,wear a mask; wash your face and clean your nose as soon as you get home.
People have realized the great harm caused by the fog and haze and the importance of protecting the environment.People all over the country are taking measures to reduce the fog and haze weather.The government suggests people go to work or school with the public traffic, such as the bus and the underground.Also we should plant more trees.
According to me, I will go to school by bike or on foot, and I won’t throw the waste anywhere.In addition, I will tell the people I meet to protect the environment as possible as they can.Would you like to tell me some good ideas?I’m looking forward to your reply.
Yours,
Li Hua
