题目列表(包括答案和解析)
Goats are being hired to do the work of people near SanDiego. The fires that occurred in Hillborbough four years ago destroyed thirty homes, most of which have been rebuilt. While people were rebuilding the homes, the grasses and bushes were growing back. The area is now so overgrown in bushes that there is again a major danger of fire.
The city council asked for offers to remove the bushes. The lowest bid they received was $50,000-----and that was if the city provided breakfast and lunch for the workers for thr six weeks it would take to clear the overgrown area. The city only wanted to give unlimited coffee and a piece of bread a day for each person. When that offer was rejected, the city asked for help on its website.
A sheepherder（养绵羊的人） in Montanta and a goatherder（养山羊的人） in San Bernardino read about the city’s plight （困境）while surfing the Web on their laptops. They both offered to do the job for $25,000. The council chosed the goatherder because he lived closer. When he was told that the city dump（垃圾场） was overflowing , the gotherder said, “No problem. My goats will eat everything in your dump, except the car engines, of course.” So ,for another $5,000, the city killed two birds with one stone. If all goes well, they will invite the goatherder and his “family” back every three years. The goatherder said that he would probably visit San Diego while his goats were in the dump. “I want to go there by plane, I just hope we don’t crash. My goats will miss me a lot.” He said.

Directions：Read the following passage．Answer the questions according to the information given in the passage．
In the animal kingdom, weakness can bring about aggression in other animals．This sometimes happens with humans also．But I have found that my weakness brings out the kindness in people．I see it every day when people hold doors for me, pour cream into my coffee, or help me to put on my coat．And I have discovered that it makes them happy．
From my wheelchair experience, I see the best in people, but sometimes I feel sad because those who appear independent miss the kindness in others I see daily．They don't get to see this soft side of others．Often, we try every way possible to avoid showing our weakness, which includes a lot of pretending．But only when we stop pretending we're brave or strong do we allow people to show the kindness that's in them．
Last month, when I was driving home on a busy highway, I began to feel unwell and drove more slowly than usual．People behind me began to speed, horn or even shout at me．At the moment I decided to do something I had never done in twenty-four years of driving．I put on the car flashlights and drove on at a really low speed．
No more angry shouts and no more horns!
When I put on my flashlights, I was saying to other drivers, "I have a problem here．I am weak and doing the best I can．" And everyone understood．Several times, I saw drivers who wanted to pass．They couldn't get around me because of the stream of passing traffic．But instead of getting impatient and angry, they waited, knowing the driver in front of them was in some way weak．
Sometimes situations call for us to act strong and brave even when we don't feel that way．But those are few and far between．More often, it would be better if we don't pretend we feel strong when we feel weak or pretend that we are brave when we are scared．
1．How do people feel when they offer their help?(No more than 2 words)
2．What reaction did other drivers have when the author drove very slowly at first?(No more than 5 words)
3．Why did other drivers behave differently when the author put on the car flashlights?(No more than 8 words)
4．What does the author advise as to do at last?(No more than 8 words)
