　　Mr West was born in a small English town. His fatter had a 1 there. The shop keeper didn't think it was 2 for his son to go to school. So he taught him how to get 3 money. They got much money there and then 4 to the city. Now Old West can't manage his shop and his son, Mr West has to do it 5 him. As he has little knowledge, Mr West is often 6 in public and sometimes he gets into trouble. So he 7 a lot of books and shelves and put them in his sitting room so that the visitors can see them 8 they go in. He often goes to the parties and carefully 9 what the learned (有學問的) men say. He hopes to make friends with them. Once Mr West was told that it was a 10 writer's birthday that day. He hurried there with his wife. He gave the writer some 11 presents and the old man thanked him. After 12 they began to talk about the literary works.

　　He could hardly answer any questions. The writer had to ask him 13 one, “What was Shakespeare?”

　　“It was a kind of drink,” answered Mr West. “But people do not like it now.”

　　The writer had a smile and soon he stopped 14 . On their way home, his wife said, “You made a mistake just now. Shakespeare is a 15 cake, like the Chinese moon cake!”

It was a winter morning, just a couple of weeks before Christmas 2005. While most people were warming up their cars, Trevor, my husband, had to get up early to ride his bike four kilometers away from home to work. On arrival, he parked his bike outside the back door as he usually does. After putting in 10 hours of work, he returned to find his bike gone.
The bike, a black Kona 18 speed, was our only transport. Trevor used it to get to work, putting in 60-hour weeks to support his young family. And the bike was also used to get groceries（食品雜貨），saving us from having to walk long distances from where we live.
I was so sad that someone would steal our bike that I wrote to the newspaper and told them our story. Shortly after that, several people in our city offered to help. One wonderful stranger even bought a bike, then called my husband to pick it up. Once again my husband had a way to get to and from his job. It really is an honor that a complete stranger(陌生人) would go out of their way for someone they have never met before.
People say that a smile can be passed from one person to another, but acts of kindness from strangers are even more so. This experience has had a spreading effect in our lives because it made our confidence in humanity（人性）stronger as a whole. And it has also influenced us to be more mindful(在意的) of ways we can share with others. No matter how big or how small, an act of kindness shows that someone cares. And the results can be continuing for ever.
【小題1】Why was the bike so important to the couple?
