19. 阅读下面短文，根据所给情节进行续写，使之构成一个完整的故事。
Three boys and three girls were going to the beach. When they boarded the bus, they were carrying sandwiches and wine, dreaming of golden beaches. Suddenly, they noticed Vingo. He sat in front of them, eyes fixed upon a photo, completely in silence.
Deep into the night, the bus pulled into Howard Johnson’s, a service area, and everybody got on except Vingo. The young people began to wonder about him. When they came back, one of the girls sat beside him and introduced herself. “Want some wine?” she said. He smiled and took a swig from the bottle. He thanked her and became silent again.
The next morning, they awoke outside another Howard Johnson’s, and this time Vingo went in. The girl insisted that he join them. He ordered black coffee and some cookies. When they returned, the girl sat with Vingo again. After a while, slowly and painfully, he began his story. He had been in prison for the past four years, and now he was going home.
“Are you married?” “I don’t know. ”
“You don’t know?” she said.
“Well, when I was in prison I wrote to my wife, ” he said, “I told her that I was going to be away for a long time, and that if she couldn’t stand it, if the kids kept asking questions, and if it hurt her too much, she could just forget me. I’d understand. Get a new guy, I said. She’s a wonderful woman. I told her she didn’t have to write me. And she didn’t. Not for three and a half years. ”
“And you’re going home now, not knowing?”
“Yeah. Well, last week, we was sure the parole(假释) was coming through, I wrote her again. We used to live in Brunswick and there’s a big oak(橡树) tree just as you come into town. I told her that if she didn’t have a new man and if she’d take me back, she should put yellow handkerchief on the tree and I’d get off and come home. If she didn’t want me, forget it—no
handkerchief and I’d go on through. ”
“Wow, ” the girl exclaimed, “Wow, ”
She told the others, and soon all of them were in it. 注意:

Possible version :
Looking at the photo, the young people found a young woman and three children in it. “What a lovely woman and cute kids. ” “Yeah, she is a smart woman who can always make our small house warm and comfortable. ” Vingo murmured. With Brunswick approaching, Vingo stopped staring at the photo, tightening his face, as if protecting himself against another disappointment. The young people took over window seats, waiting for the coming of the oak tree. Then Brunswick was ten miles, and then five. All the people opened their eyes wide, waiting for a miracle. Suddenly, they all jumped up from their seats, screaming except Vingo.
Vingo sat there amazed, staring at the oak tree. It was covered with yellow handkerchiefs, twenty or thirty of them, maybe hundreds, flying in the wind. The oak tree stood like a banner of welcome, blowing in the wind. All the young people were up out of their seats, shouting, crying, doing small dances or shaking fists in triumph As the young people remained thrilled, Vingo slowly rose from his seat, holding himself tightly , and made his way to the front of the
bus to go home.
三、 阅读理解
20. People from East Asia tend to have more difficulty than those from Europe in distinguishing facial expressions — and a new report published online in Current Biology explains why.
Rachael Jack, University of Glasgow researcher, said that rather than scanning evenly(均匀的) across a face as Westerners do, Easterners fix their attention on the eyes. \"We show that Easterners and Westerners look at different face features to read facial expressions,\" Jack said. \"Westerners look at the eyes and the mouth in equal measure, whereas Easterners favor the eyes and neglect (忽略) the mouth.\"
According to Jack and her colleagues, the discovery shows that human communication of emotion is more complex than previously believed. As a result, facial expressions that had been considered universally recognizable cannot be used to reliably convey emotion in cross-cultural situations.
The researchers studied cultural differences in the recognition of facial expressions by recording the eye movements of 13 Western Caucasian and 13 East Asian people while they observed pictures of expressive faces and put them into categories: happy, sad, surprised, fearful, disgusted, angry, or neutral. They compared how accurately
participants read those facial expressions using their particular eye movement strategies. It turned out that Easterners focused much greater attention on the eyes and made significantly more errors than Westerners did. \"The cultural difference in eye movements that they show is probably a reflection of cultural difference in facial expressions,\" Jack said. \"Our data suggest that whereas Westerners use the whole face to convey emotion, Easterners use the eyes more and mouth less.\"
In short, the data show that facial expressions are not universal signals of human emotion. From here on, examining how cultural factors have diversified these basic social skills will help our understanding of human emotion. Otherwise, when it comes to
communicating emotions across cultures, Easterners and Westerners will find themselves lost in translation.
68. The discovery shows that Westerners . A. consider facial expressions universally reliable B. pay equal attention to the eyes and the mouth C. observe the eyes and the mouth in different ways D. have more difficulty in recognizing facial expressions 69. What does the underlined word \"they\" in Paragraph 6 refer to? A. The researchers of the study. B. The errors made during the study. C. The data collected from the study. D. The participants in the study.
70. In comparison with Westerners, Easterners are likely to . A. do translation more successfully B. examine the eyes more attentively C. study the mouth more frequently
D. read facial expressions more correctly 71. What can be the best title for the passage? A. The Eye as the Window to the Soul B. Effective Methods to Develop Social Skills
C. How to Increase Cross-cultural Understanding D. Cultural Differences in Reading Emotions 参考答案： BDBD
21.
Then I bought one hamburger and enjoyed my meal, but in the back of my mind I wondered whether the homeless man was hungry. After I finished my meal I decided to order another one for him. At this point I didn't know if he was still around, but I tried anyway. At the counter I ordered a hamburger and also a hot chocolate, because it was cold outside, and I thought it would help warm him up. They delivered me the hot chocolate first and as I waited for my hamburger, I noticed the homeless man was standing right beside me.

That's very kind of you.\" I always believe no matter how hard up(缺钱) I am, there are always those who are worse off than I. When you help someone, it's not always about money but about love. The love you give today, someone might forget tomorrow. It doesn't matter. Love anyway, because the greatest thing you can give is love. 21.Why did the author stop at a fast food restaurant? A.
