22、Last Friday, I agreed to meet some friends at 6:00 pm in a coffee shop. The weather was sunny, so I decided to walk there.

I arrived ten minutes early. I ordered a cup of coffee and sat watching people. There were some boys playing football on the street, and a small boy was running after a ball as it rolled（滚）across the road.

Suddenly, there came a car. It was going very fast. When the driver saw the boy in his way, he braked（刹车）hard. But it was too late…The small boy was lying on the street without moving. To everyone’s surprise, the car didn’t stop! It drove away quickly.

People ran to the boy. There was a cut on the boy’s head and he lost a lot of blood. The coffee shop owner（主人）telephoned the police. Soon an ambulance（救护车）arrived and took the boy to the hospital.

At 6:30 pm, the police arrived and started questioning people. About half an hour later, they asked me to go to the police station because I saw everything. I gave them all the information I knew because I really wanted them to catch the driver. I didn’t leave the police station until 8:00 pm. After that I went home.

The next day, the boy’s parents called me to say thanks. They also told me their boy was fine and the driver was in the police station now.

23、When was the last time you gave or received a hug? Do your parents hug you before you go to school? In Western countries, it is quite common to greet close friends or relatives with a hug.

You might hug your teammates after winning a basketball game. If one of your friends is having a bad day, you can hug him to cheer him up. Friends who haven’t seen each other for a long time will usually hug each other when meeting.

Of course, people in different countries have different opinions when it comes to hugging. After coming to China, I’ve noticed that Chinese people are generally more reluctant (不情愿的) to hug than those are in my home country, the USA.

My Chinese friends told me that hugging is considered to be very intimate (亲密的) in their culture. It usually only happens between people who are really close to each other, like couples. Chinese people don’t usually hug in public, either.

But people’s attitudes towards hugging can also change. I remember watching a video story about a “hugging party” that was held in Shanghai. A local artist held the party, inviting strangers and asking them to hug each other.

The Chinese participants clearly looked uncomfortable. However, after the party, several of them changed their minds. They decided that hugging doesn’t have to be awkward (尴尬的) and can actually be quite nice. So next time you see your mum or dad, give her/him a hug — see how it makes you feel.

【1】What usually happens between good friends when meeting in Western countries?

A．Hugging.

B．Nodding.

C．Shaking hands.

D．Kissing.

【2】The second paragraph tells us ________.

A．the advantages of hugging each other

B．some situations in which people hug each other

C．the reasons why friends need to hug each other

D．the ways of hugging each other

【3】In Chinese culture, hugs usually happen between ________.

A．friends

B．classmates

C．couples

D．teachers and students

【4】What did people do at the “hugging party”?

A．They were invited to hug each other.

B．They watched a video about hugging.

C．They told stories about hugging.

D．They sang their favourite songs.

【5】The writer wrote the last paragraph to ________.

A．encourage people to be nice to strangers

B．explain why people feel uncomfortable while hugging

C．show how people can change their minds about hugging

D．tell people not to hug each other anywhere
