根据短文理解，选择正确答案。
    Conor Grennan was unwilling to be a volunteer. The 29-year-old American was not sure if he had the skills or a strong feeling for it
However, he went to work at an orphanage(孤儿院) in Nepal. His first thought was to make people impressed.
    "I thought that if I volunteered just once, I could retell the story over and over," Grennan said in a Huffington Post article
   However, his three-month stay in the orphanage turned into an unusual experience. It was in 2004 and Grennan had given up his job to begin a year-long around-the-world trip. His first three months were spent in Nepal.
   When he arrived in the village, he knew nothing about the children or the local culture. When he opened the gate of the Little Princes Children's Home, he was faced by the excited children.
   The young American ended up caring for 18 children. He later discovered that they were trafficked(被拐卖的) children. So he walked through the mountains with great difficulty to find the kids' families. "I started walking with photos of the kids," he told the Reuter's reporter. "I would show up in villages and show photographs around. I went with 24 photos, and I found 24 families. "
    At the same time, he put his heart into Nepalese culture.
   Grennan said, "Volunteering is the single best way to see how the rest of the world lives."
   He also encouraged others to do what he had done. He believes that volunteering needs only making decisions to show up.
   Grennan's fight against child-trafficking has changed him. His book, Little Prince, came out last week.

One day, Mr Smith is going to take a train to his hometown. When the train starts, one of his shoes falls to the ground. The train is going faster and faster, and he can't pick it up. Then he quickly takes off the other shoe and throw it on the ground near the fallen(掉下的) shoe. A little boy on the train asks him, “Why do you do that? You have lost(丢失) one shoe. ”Mr Smith answers, “ If a man picks them up, he may get a pair of shoes. ”

John is six years old. He can read and write well. But he can't tell the time. His mother, Mrs Brown teaches him many times, but he still can't tell. He would say “breakfast time”, “lunchtime” and “teatime” instead of (代替) saying eight o'clock, twelve o'clock and four o'clock in the afternoon. His mother doesn't know how to help him.
One day, John's aunt, Mary comes to see his mother. His mother tells her about that. His aunt says. “Let me help you. I think I can help him.”
When John comes home after school, Mary begins to teach him.
“Can you count （数数）,John?” she asks him.
“Yes. One, two, three, four…” John says.
“That's fine. Now I put the long hand （钟表的长指针）on twelve and the short hand on one.” That's one o'clock. If I put the short hand on two, what is the time?”
“Two o'clock.”
“Good. And on three?”
“Three o'clock.”
Then it is four o'clock in the afternoon, and John's aunt asks him, “What time is it now, John?”
“Teatime, Aunt, and I am very hungry (饥饿).” John looks at the clock and answers.

   It's not easy to be an astronaut's son. Everybody expects(期望) you to be special or perfect. I often wonder how my father ever had a son like me. I mean he's so special and so good at everything he does. Even in middle school he was class president and captain of the football team. Well, to be honest, I often dream about being some kind of hero or doing something special-like saving a child from a burning building or discovering a new star. I was daydreaming at school one morning when my teacher said there would be a Father's Day writing competition for the whole school "I hope we have a winner right here in my class."
   When I got home, I started to think about what to write. My father is an astronaut. No, I wouldn't start like that. That was the way others saw him. How did I see my father? Hmm. I saw him sitting with me in the dark when I had a terrible dream. I remembered how he hugged me for hours when my dog Spotty was killed by a car. Yes, these were the things I was going to write. To me, he wasn't just a world-famous astronaut. He was my dad.
   My parents and l went to school Thursday night. There were so many people in the big hall! My dad looked at me, and I shrugged(耸肩).
   The third prize was announced（宣布） and it was not me. I was relieved(释然)and disappointed at the same time. The second prize was announced. It was me. I went up to the stage and read what I had written, "My father's son". When I finished，the people stood up and cheered. I saw my father blowing his nose. Tears were running down my mother's face. Dad cleared his throat and put his hand on my shoulder. "Son, this is the proudest moment of my life.''
   It was the proudest moment of my life, too. Maybe I'll never be a great hero or win a Nobel Prize, but it was enough just to be my father's son.

Mr. Black comes from New York in America（美国）. He teaches(教)English in No. 3 Middle School （中学）. He likes his work（工作） very much. He often says Chinese people are very friendly(友好).

A jobless man wanted very much to have the position of “office boy” at Microsoft. The HR manager interviewed(面试) him and then watched him cleaning the floor as a test. “You have passed the test,” he said. “Give me your e-mail address and I'll send you the form（表格） to fill in and the date when you may start.” The man replied, “But I don't have a computer, neither an e-mail.” “I'm sorry,” said the HR manager. “If you don't have an e-mail, that means you are not living. And anyone who isn't living cannot have the job.”

The man left with no hope at all. He didn't know what to do with only $10 in his pocket. He thought and thought. Then he went to the supermarket and bought 10 kilos of tomatoes. He sold the tomatoes from door to door. In less than two hours, he had 20 dollars. He did that three times, and started to go early every day, and returned home late. Shortly, he bought a cart , then a truck, then he had his own fleet of delivery vehicles(运货车队). Five years later, the man was one of the biggest food retailers (零售商) in the US.

One day, one of his friends asked him for his e-mail. He said, “I haven't got one.” His friend couldn't believe his ears. “Can you imagine what you could have been if you had an e-mail?” The man thought for a while and replied, “Yes, I'd be an office boy at Microsoft!”

Shaking the head doesn't always mean the same in different countries. Maybe some visitors would be surprised when they first come to India. When they talk to an Indian, they would find he would often shake his head. The visitors might think that the Indian doesn't like what they say. But in fact, they would be completely wrong. Indians always shake their heads when they talk to others. It doesn't mean "No". If someone wants to visit India, he should know this, or he will be in trouble.

One day, a foreign officer went to India on business. He hired a car and asked an Indian to drive him. When he told his driver to take him to his office, the Indian shook his head at once. The officer said again and the driver shook his head again. At last the officer, of course, got angry.

"How dare you refuse my order?" he shouted. "Drive me to my office at once!"

The driver answered in quite a loud voice too, "Yes, sir!" But to the officer's surprise, the driver shook his head at the same time.

The car started and the foreign officer was now too surprised to say a word. He thought about it for a while, and then he nodded with a smile, "'No' means 'Yes' here!"
