About a year ago, a couple with three children moved into the apartment next door to mine. I never heard any noise from the children, but the parents were always yelling at the kids.
We often met in the hallway when we were coming or going. I always spoke, but the only answer I got was a hello from the four-year-old girl.
One afternoon when I returned, they were just coming out of their apartment and the little girl was holding the door open for the others. I remained in the car doing unnecessary things. But when I looked up I saw the little girl was still holding the door open, waiting for me. I hurried as much as I could and thanked her.
I was really touched by her act of kindness. That afternoon I was at the K-Mart and I bought a white Teddy bear for her. The next day, there was a knock on the door and it was the little girl and her father. She was very proud of the bear and thanked me like I had never been thanked before.
Now when we meet in the hall, we all speak in a friendly manner. As time passes, I don’t hear that yelling as often as before.
Last night we had about four inches of snow. I looked out at my car and wondered how I was going to keep my doctor’s appointment. I went out to remove the snow. But when I opened my front door, I found my car was there with all the snow removed. You couldn’t imagine how I felt at that moment. I thanked that family in my heart. Isn’t it amazing how a small kind act of a four-year-old girl can change so many things for the better. My guardian angel says that good things come from small acts.
25. Who did the writer think removed the snow on his car? A. That family next door. B. Someone sent by his doctor. C. Some strangers. D. The gate keeper.
26. Which of the following is True according to the passage?
A. The children were very naughty and often made their parents angry. B. Life must be very hard for the parents next door as they had a large family to support. C. The writer put off the appointment with his doctor because of the heavy snow.
D.The little girl’s kind act changed the relationship between the writer and her family.
27. The right time order of these events in the passage may be_______. ① I bought a white Teddy bear for the four-year-old little girl. ②A new family moved into the building next to my door. ③ The four-year-old little girl held the door for me. ④ The father came with the little girl and thanked me. ⑤We speak to each other now in a friendly manner.
A. ②-③-①-④-⑤ B. ②-④-①-③-⑤ C. ③-②-④-⑤-① D. ③-④-②-⑤-①

In 1981, the artist Vitek Kruta escaped to Germany. He was nineteen years old at the time. Vitek’s home was in Prague. He loved his country, but he could not stay there because the government wanted to put him into prison. “The government wanted total control of all art and music,” he explains. “We had to have art shows in secret. My kind of painting was against the law. The rock music that my band played was against the law. There was no future for me there.”
In Germany, Vitek first had to learn the language. He spent eight months taking lessons at a language school. It was easy for him to understand and read German, but he could not speak it. Then one night, he had a dream. In his dream, he started talking with others — in German! The following day, he discovered that he could speak much better.
Next, Vitek got back to his studies in art. He learned to restore (修复) old buildings such as churches and castles. He spent ten years doing this kind of work, and then he faced another_big_change in his life: He got a job offer in the United States. Vitek knew hardly any English, but he did not let that stop him. After all, he had a great deal of experience learning new languages. So he decided to make the move.
Today, Vitek is a painter, an architect (建筑师), and much more. He is a man with a lot of energy. He works in his studio, he teaches art classes, and he manages an
