I was looking forward to having five days off from duty. Unfortunately (不幸地), the only one train a day back to my home in Sydney had already left. So I thought I d hitch a ride (搭便车). I waited by the side of the highway for three hours but no one stopped for me. Finally, a man walked over and introduced( 介 绍 ) himself as Gordon. He said that although he couldn t give me a lift, I should come back to his house for lunch. He noticed me standing for hours and thought I must be hungry. He assured(使放心) me I was safe, and he also offered to help me find a lift home. When we arrived at his house, he made us sandwiches. After lunch, he helped me find a lift home. Twenty- five years later, while I was driving to a nearby town one day, I saw an elderly man trying to hitch a ride. I thought it was another chance to repay(报答) someone for the favour(恩惠) I d been given. I pulled over(路边停车) and picked him up. I made him comfortable on the back seat and offered him some water. After a few moments of small talk, the man said to me, “You haven t changed a bit, even your red hair is still the same.” I couldn t remember where I d met him. He then told me he was the man who gave me lunch and helped me find a lift all those years ago. It was Gordon. Task: 根据短文内容， 判断下列句子正(T)误(F)。 ()1. The writer didn t catch the train and her best friend helped her get home at last. ()2. When the writer was 43, she met Gordon again on the way to a nearby town. 王燕 by Sella Into the Class誗走进课堂 A This is a story about a monkey. An old man had a monkey. The old man liked it very much.

He wouldn t chat with others. One day, a little boy selling newspapers knocked at the mans door. The door slowly opened. “Uh, sir, would you like to buy a newspaper?” The old man just stared (盯着) at the boy. The boy saw lots of dog sculptures(雕塑品) on the table. “Do you collect dogs?” the boy asked. “Yes, they are all my family.” Hearing this, the boy understood and felt sorry for him. “I have a newspaper here about dogs. It s perfect for you.” The old man was ready to close the door and said, “No, I don t need any newspapers.” The boy suddenly had an idea. He had a dog sculpture, which did not mean much to him. After a while, the boy returned with a box. The old man shouted this time, “I told you no newspapers!” “I bring you a gift.”The boy opened the box and handed him the sculpture.

The boy even brought his pet dog to visit the old man every week. 根据短文内容， 回答下列问题。 1. Did the old man live with his children? _
