I used to think that life in Jim Thorpe, Pennsylvania, was filled with never-changing styles. I hated that everyone seemed to know everything about everyone else. Everyone seemed to enjoy talking about other people and their lives. I also didn't like the fact that people seemed very close-minded. I felt trapped. I felt like I was missing . It seemed to me that city life would be the opposite.

Then I took my first trip to New York City. I couldn't wait to experience the city. However, when I arrived in the Big Apple, it wasn't at all what I had imagined. I knew it was home to thousands of people, but I hadn't had the least expectation to see so many people on the street at one time. All the streets were filled with people. I also felt a little surprised to see that everyone was in a hurry and everything moved at such a fast pace(步伐). When I took the subway for the first time, I said hello to the middle-aged woman next to me. She looked at me with dislike and didn't say a word.

After just one day, I realized how important my small town is to me. Now I miss the familiar faces I see every day. I like the feeling of safety and belonging my town offers. Jim Thorpe gives me a sense of community and togetherness that the city doesn't provide. I realize just how much a simple hello does for a stranger — it really can make your day a little better.

My big trip showed me that my small town really has its own values in me that I didn't even know I had. I never would have known what a big place my town holds in my heart if I had not taken that trip to New York City.

（1）、What surprised the author most in New York City?

（2）、What made the author change his / her attitudes to his /her hometown?

A、Travelling to New York City. B、The familiar faces in Jim Thorpe. C、Greeting the middle-aged woman . D、Everybody likes talking about others.

（3）、What would be the best title for the passage?

A、Love of my small town B、A sense of community C、A pleasant trip to New York City D、Differences between big cities and small towns

    A man was walking along the street when he saw a woman carrying a large box. It was half in and half out of her car. So the man went up and said, “The box looks very heavy. Let me give you a hand.”
“That‘s very kind of you,”the woman said, "I'm having a lot of trouble with it. Maybe it sticks (卡住) in the car door.”
“Together we'll soon move it,”the man said. "I'll get in and take the other end.”And he got in the car.
“Right,”the man said. “I'm ready," and he began to push the box hard.
   For several minutes, the man and the woman tried to move the box. Soon they felt very tired.They rested for a moment. Then the woman said, "Let's try again. One, two, three!" They went on moving the box.
   At last, when they were exhausted, the man said, "I'm sorry, but I don't think there's any way to get it out of your car.”
“Get it out?”the woman cried. “I'm trying to get it in! You know?”

Every Cloud Has a Silver Lining

Claire, America

Sometimes something good comes out of a bad thing. Last month,I took a photo of an amazing sunset over a lake when hiking in a park. Then I decided to send it to my brother Charley. Anyway, I dropped my phone in the water. OMG! I lost all my photos and my phone. Well, luckily, Charley sent my sunset photo to the TV station. Today, they chose it for Photo of the Month, and I won a new camera. Maybe every cloud has a silver lining!

Ten years ago, my car broke down on my way to school. I didn't have enough money to fix it, so that term I had to get up at 5:00 a. m. every day to take the bus. One cold, wet morning, I felt really tired. But this guy started talking to me on the bus, and he really made me laugh! I also found that we studied at the same school. We exchanged phone numbers, and the rest is history. Ten years later, we' re married with two children. Oh, and a new car! Every cloud has a silver lining!

Yang, China

Some weeks ago, I helped a Malaysian friend Andrew move his things into my house. He lost his job and needed a place to stay. But I hurt my back when carrying some heavy boxes. It was really bad, so I had to go to the hospital. Anyway, I saw an advertisement for a computer programmer at the hospital. I called my friend, and he got the job! At least his cloud had a silver lining! Though I do have my house all to myself again.
