A
(2024·石家庄模拟)Many years ago，when we first went to Canada，we were driving through Montana with our two children.We thought we would find a motel(汽车旅馆) on the way and had not made a booking.As it was getting late，we started looking for a motel，only to find that all were booked，which worried me sick.
Finally，around 9 p．m.，we stopped at a gas station to fill up the gas tank.My husband asked for a phone book and told the woman at the counter that we were trying to find a motel.He tried for 15 minutes.When he was unsuccessful，the woman，Linda，said she and her family lived nearby and would be happy if we spent the night at her home.
My husband was stunned by her offer.She called her son to direct us，since she had to hold the fort at the gas station till midnight.
When we reached her home，her husband greeted us.He took out two sleeping bags for the children.He invited us to have coffee and chat while we waited for his wife.When she came back，we asked if we could slip away in the morning so as not to disturb them.They said we were now guests and we would have to have breakfast with them.
We woke up to a table set for breakfast.They made a mountain of pancakes and bacon.We ate breakfast，and when we were leaving，my husband asked if he could offer some payment.
They insisted we were their guests.We left moved by their spirit of hospitality(好客)．We were amazed that they would take in a family of total strangers from a different country.We kept in touch for many years.Over the years，we've lost touch with them，but have never forgotten their kindness.

(2024·济南模拟)Children of all ages gathered in New York City recently for the American International Toy Fair.Hidden among already popular toys were new，high-tech educational products.Toymakers are working to create these products for improving a child's emotional intelligence.
Companies showed off their products last week at New York's Jacob K．Javits Convention Center.
PleIQ is a set of plastic toy blocks.It uses visual reality technology to teach words，numbers and other things.Edison Durán directs the company that makes PleIQ.He showed people at the Toy Fair how virtual images appear on the blocks when they are held in front of a tablet camera.PleIQ has children act as teacher or guide to a companion character.
On the other side of the convention center，Karen Hu from another company demonstrated an educational robot called Woobo.The robot comes programmed with educational games and activities.Children use its touch screen face to get them started.Hu described how the robot can help a child who has autism(自闭症)．“The child can communicate with Woobo and follow some of the instructions Woobo is giving because he thinks of this as a companion instead of a parent or someone else telling him about certain things.”
At the EQ-tainment stand，sales director Jonathan Erickson explained the company's toys.“The purpose of all of our products is to develop emotional and social intelligence，”he said.Erickson showed off a board game called“Q's Race to the Top”．He said the game got his 4-year-old daughter to open up.“The biggest thing is her talking.And that's the key of all this—getting her feelings expressed out.Like，‘Hey，what does it feel like to be sad？’or‘What does it feel like to be happy？’”
