Arriving in Sydney on his own from India, my husband, Rashid, stayed in a hotel for a short time while looking for a house for me and our children.

During the first week of his stay, he went out one day to do some shopping. He came back in the late afternoon to discover that his suitcase was gone. He was extremely worried as the suitcase had all his important papers, including his passport.

He reported the case to the police and then sat there，lost and lonely in a strange city, thinking of the terrible troubles of getting all the paperwork organized again from a distant country while trying to settle down in a new one.

Late in the evening, the phone rang. It was a stranger. He was trying to pronounce my husband's name and was asking him a lot of questions. Then he said they had found a pile of papers in their trash can(垃圾桶) that had been left out on the footpath.

My husband rushed to their home to find a kind family holding all his papers and documents. Their young daughter had gone to the trash can and found a pile of unfamiliar papers. Her parents had carefully sorted them out, although they had found mainly foreign addresses on most of the documents. At last they had seen a half­written letter in the pile in which my husband had given his new telephone number to a friend.

That family not only restored the important documents to us that day but also restored our faith and trust in people. We still remember their kindness and often send a warm wish their way.

【要點(diǎn)綜述】 本文主要講述了作者的丈夫來到了一個(gè)陌生的城市，一次出去購物回來之后，發(fā)現(xiàn)自己的手提箱不見了，里面有他所有的重要的文件，包括護(hù)照。就在他孤獨(dú)無助的時(shí)候，一位陌生人打電話來告訴他，他的女兒撿到了文件。作者的丈夫丟失的東西失而復(fù)得，這也增加了他對人們的信任。

21. B　細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第一段中的“Arriving in Sydney on his own from India, my husband, Rashid, stayed in a hotel for a short time while looking for a house for me and our children.”可知，作者的丈夫只身從印度來到了悉尼，在旅館里短暫停留，同時(shí)給作者和孩子們尋找房子住，因此選B。

22. C　細(xì)節(jié)理解題。 根據(jù)倒數(shù)第二段中的“At last they had seen a half­written letter in the pile in which my husband had given his new telephone number to a friend.”可知，這家人從作者的丈夫?qū)懡o一位朋友的信中找到了作者丈夫的新電話號碼，因此選C。

23. D　詞義猜測題。根據(jù)“That family not only restored the important documents to us that day but also restored our faith and trust in people.”可知，那一家人不僅僅把這些重要的文件歸還給了作者家人，而且還把對人的信任歸還給了他們;而且根據(jù)倒數(shù)第二段第一句“My husband rushed to their home to find a kind family holding all his papers and documents.”可知restore表示“歸還”。故C正確。

24. C　主旨大意題。本文講述了作者的丈夫到了悉尼后，裝有重要文件的手提箱被偷了。在他萬般無奈的情況下，有人主動(dòng)聯(lián)系他，并歸還了那些文件。那些重要的文件在別人看來并不重要，但是對于作者的丈夫來說卻是萬分重要。只有C項(xiàng)能夠說明文章的中心思想。故C正確。
