【正文】 （英語）高二英語專題匯編閱讀理解(人物故事)(一)一、高中英語閱讀理解人物故事類1．閱讀理解 On a recent trip to the island of Newfoundland, Canada, my husband asked our talkative cab driver what made him most proud to be from there. Our generosity and hospitality (好客), he replied in a strong local accent. Your car breaks down in the middle of nowhere, someone will stop to help. People here are kind like that. His answer lingered in my mind during that ride with my husband and teenage kids, as we headed out to explore on the first day of our vacation. Little did I know we were about to experience some of that remarkable Newfoundland kindness for ourselves. We met Alma that same morning at the start of a long hike. Our teenagers hurried ahead, and as we walked behind, admiring the scenery, two women in sunglasses and summer hiking gear stopped. They39。d heard us discussing different routes, then asked if we39。d like suggestions. They looked to be in their 40s, and were both enthusiastic to share their local expertise. We listened eagerly, taking mental notes, until one of the women asked, You have a car, right? I explained that there were no cars available during our week on the island, so we had to rely on cabs instead. Oh no, she said, you need a car. And then, as casually as if offering a piece of chewing gum (口香糖), she said: Take mine! Dumbfounded, my husband and I just smiled in disbelief. Why not? She insisted. You need a car to get to know all these places. But you don39。t even know us, I said. That doesn39。t matter, she continued with absolute determination. Stunned, I looked over at her friend, who shrugged and said, That39。s Alma. Forty minutes of talking later, my family climbed into Alma39。s car. We spent the rest of our vacation discovering different areas of this beautiful island. But it wasn39。t the groups of whales we saw, or the vast areas of woodland, that made this place so memorable. Instead, it was the act of kindness from a plete stranger that made us realize how special Newfoundland really was. Next year, there39。s no doubt where we39。ll be taking our summer vacation.

One night in October, Bobbitt was sitting roadside with a sign in Philadelphia as usual, when Kate McClure of Florence Township, N. J. was driving home down Interstate 95 and ran out of gas.

As McClure was heading to the nearest gas station, she ran into Bobbitt and he told her to get back in the vehicle and lock the door. Minutes later, he appeared with a red gas can. He39。d used his last $20 to buy her gas. After that unexpected meeting, McClure and her boyfriend, Mark D39。Amico, who both live in New Jersey, visited Bobbitt several times to deliver gift cards, cash, snacks and toiletries.
