Moving to a new city and state was difficult for me, especially in winter. Little did I know that a Colorado snowstorm would greet me after I had been in my new home for only a week.
I just missed home. But more than the old house and the beach, I missed Stacey, my best friend. And I missed our lovely tea. Going to a sweet little tearoom, we had discovered was a special treat for us. The place was a Victorian dream, with delicate teacups and tablecloths with flower prints. The hat shelf near the front door swept us back to childhood. Stacey and I became little girls, trying on different hats until we found the perfect one for our dress-up tea party. We would then choose a lovely table and order our tea. That was a precious time, filled with laughter between scones（煎饼） and sharing our lives between tiny cucumber sandwiches.
Springtime descended upon Denver, and the sun lightened my heart. But I still fought loneliness almost every day. I decided to explore the Denver area. While my husband went to the office, I took time to see what our new area had to offer.
One day, I was walking along the street when suddenly the words "Tea Leaves" caught my eye. A tea room? Here, in the land of loneliness and pain?
I walked through the doors, and tears came to my eyes. It was a beautiful room, not Victorian, but simple and lovely.
I sat down and ordered a pot of tea, a cucumber sandwich, and some scones. It felt silly and wonderful --- and it felt like home. For the first time since moving, I felt as if this new city and state could be, would eventually be, my home. I would come back here and bring new friends. When Stacey visited, we would come here.
I lifted my cup and made a silent toast. I toasted Stacey, whom I missedly, and I toasted the sweet little tearoom that lessened my pain.

If I raised the question, “What would be the last thing you would expect to happen while watching your son’s flag football game?” you probably still couldn’t come up with what happened to me and my family.
As we were sitting on the sidelines enjoying the game, a low-flying bird came swooping in attempting to land on my daughter’s head! It honestly came out of nowhere. We were seated by ourselves on the tree lined side of the field. I was able to calm my daughter’s shock and fear once I showed her that the bird was not some wild animal, it was in fact, somebody’s pet!
Now, we’re sitting at the outdoor fields of the Pontiac Silverdome, far from any populated area, wondering where this very social cockatiel, an Australian parrot (澳洲鹦鹉) could have come from. I walked up to the bird and put out my hand. Immediately, it hopped on and chirped in a friendly way. We looked around us and knew that we could not just leave and suppose that the bird would return to where it came from. This was a very domesticated bird that needed help or it would not survive.
The flag football game had ended so we walked the bird over to other groups of adults and asked if they knew of anyone who had lost a bird. All the kids were excited about the bird and fed it with some post game snacks. The bird’s nails were getting long and he was looking pretty dirty, so we knew it had been out here for a long time and was hungry. Since its wings were clipped, it could fly a little but probably not more than 100 yards or so at a try. We all just scratched our heads as a group wondering what to do with the lost bird.
We explained to the kids that this bird needed our help since it was someone’s pet and would not know how to get its own food, and it could not fly well since its wings were clipped. The kids understood, and all of them wanted to take the bird home! The parents however, knew this was not a good choice as one had a large dog, another two cats, etc. We explained to the kids that one of us could take the bird home for the night and then bring it to the Humane Society in the morning in hopes to connect it to its owners. We couldn’t keep the bird. It wasn’t ours. This was tough for the kids to understand at first. We couldn’t just leave the bird either. There was no way it could attend itself. The group of us sat around the Silverdome practice fields for quite a while trying to determine the best course of choice for the lost bird. It was getting dark out but no one was willing to leave that parking lot until we had a game plan for how to help the bird.
The owner of the football league, Chris Novak, offered to take the bird. It was extremely nice of him and he really stepped in to help while all the rest of us who had kids tugging on our shirts and begging to take it home. We took a box and put a bunch of holes in it and he brought it home for the night. Another mom went online and found a family that had lost a bird that looked just like the one we’d found. She emailed the info to Chris who got in touch with the family and the next day, reunited the bird with the family that lost it almost 3 weeks earlier! When Chris emailed us to let us know, we could not believe that this bird had traveled from The Rochester Tienken area all the way to the Silverdome!
We were so happy to be able to save this bird and get it back to its family. I showed my kids the email about how the other family got their pet back. The family has 3 kids who were so happy to see their bird. My kids realized what a nice ending this story had. Not only had we been able to save this bird’s life, but we were able to bring it back to the family that loves and misses him.
The life lesson in the missing bird story seemed to miss its mark with my kids at first. They were a little bummed out that they couldn’t keep the lost bird. I explained to them that when an animal or someone needs help, you just can’t turn a blind eye and hope everything works out OK. The “lost bird incident” was also a reminder to them that teamwork and the kindness of strangers can make a world of difference and that a group of well-meaning strangers can work together to help someone. It wasn’t a heroic act, but one that I knew had sunk in with my kids when they realized that trying to help was the best and only real course of action.

In 1755 there were no commercial banks in the American colonies. The commercial Bank of England was already almost a century old, but few colonists had any dealings with it or with the Mother Country’s huge funded debt. However, there are some colonial institutions, both public and private, which went by the name of “bank”, but most of these were very different from commercial banks. In the decades following the first attempts in Philadelphia, New York and Boston to establish the Bank of North America in 1781, the Bank of New York in 1784, commercial banking survived political attacks, and economic depressions. In the early days of the American Republic, there developed two different types of banks: commercial and savings. Savings banks only let the individual put money in the bank. Loans or credits to buy unimproved land came from the land owner, which could be an individual, a large company such as the Holland Land Company, or the government. Sometimes wealthy personal friends supplied money.
Country banks, which were commercial banks, but which broke many of the rules of strict commercial banking, also loaned money for real estate（不动产）. Insurance and Trust companies did too. Individuals and country and city banks made personal loans backed only by promissory notes（本票）, though the latter usually tried to hide the fact. Bad agents broke the states laws to supply short-term unsecured（无抵押的）credit at high interest. Merchants and commercial banks conducted currency exchanges.
Commercial banks accepted special and demand deposits. They also created deposits by loaning “money of account” that could be drawn on by check. Finally, commercial banks, and sometimes other companies, both public and private, used loans to issue their own promissory notes payable to the bearer（持票人）on demand. By presenting the note at the bank of issue, the bearer received the note’s face value in gold or silver. Merchants considered bank notes the equal of specie （money in coins）. A bank that could not change its notes into gold or silver was considered bankrupt and could lose its charter.
1．Which of the following statements best expresses the main idea of the passage?
A．Commercial banking in early America was slow to develop.
B．Banking in America was often unlawful.
C．America developed its own banking institutions in response to local developments rather than reproducing those of England.
D．Commercial banking in early America was not really commercial banking.
2．The underlined word “which” in the first paragraph refers to .
A．loans or credits
B．unimproved land
C．land owner
D．an individual, a large company or the government
3．According to the passage, commercial banks supported their promissory notes by honoring to pay .
A．in coins B．in kind C．in theory D．in gold and silver
4．According to the passage, a commercial bank could have to close if .
A．it didn’t have enough gold and silver
B．too many customers wanted to present their promissory noted for payment
C．the value of money in coins was not about equal with the money of gold and silver
D．it only let the individual put money in the bank

Did you know that about 300 words in the English language derive from the names of people?
A great many of these words are technical words since a new invention or discovery is often named after the scientist who made the discovery. In this way we have such words as watt, ohm, diesel, dahlia, macadam, ampere, mores.
A good many everyday words, however, have also found their way into the language from the names of people. The very popular word sandwich, for example, comes from the name of Lord Sandwich (1718 – 1792). While he sat at the gambling table, he used to eat slices of meat placed between two slices of bread. His friends began to call this sort of food a sandwich because only Lord Sandwich ate it. But later on it became popular and had to have a real name. So what began as a nickname gradually became part of the common language.
Another commonly used word is to boycott, meaning to refuse to have any connection or business with. This comes from Captain Boycott, who was the agent of an English land owner in Ireland in 1880. He treated his tenants so badly that they all refused to speak to hi,. By this policy they eventually obtained his removal. Such treatment was referred to as a boycott. Soon afterwards this verb to boycott was coined. Both the noun and the verb are still widely used.
1．What’s the passage chiefly concerned with?
A．English words and names of scientists.
B．English words and names of people.
C．English words and discovery.
D．Words and famous people.
2．A sandwich was named after Lord Sandwich because .
A．he was fond of it
B．he was the only person that ate it
C．he was the manufacturer of the food
D．it became popular
3．It is suggested that Lord Sandwich .
A．was mad about gambling
B．had to eat a sandwich because he was in debt
