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.

【要点综述】 本文主要讲述了作者的丈夫来到了一个陌生的城市，一次出去购物回来之后，发现自己的手提箱不见了，里面有他所有的重要的文件，包括护照。就在他孤独无助的时候，一位陌生人打电话来告诉他，他的女儿捡到了文件。作者的丈夫丢失的东西失而复得，这也增加了他对人们的信任。

21. B　细节理解题。根据第一段中的“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，作者的丈夫只身从印度来到了悉尼，在旅馆里短暂停留，同时给作者和孩子们寻找房子住，因此选B。

22. C　细节理解题。 根据倒数第二段中的“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，这家人从作者的丈夫写给一位朋友的信中找到了作者丈夫的新电话号码，因此选C。

23. D　词义猜测题。根据“That family not only restored the important documents to us that day but also restored our faith and trust in people.”可知，那一家人不仅仅把这些重要的文件归还给了作者家人，而且还把对人的信任归还给了他们;而且根据倒数第二段第一句“My husband rushed to their home to find a kind family holding all his papers and documents.”可知restore表示“归还”。故C正确。

24. C　主旨大意题。本文讲述了作者的丈夫到了悉尼后，装有重要文件的手提箱被偷了。在他万般无奈的情况下，有人主动联系他，并归还了那些文件。那些重要的文件在别人看来并不重要，但是对于作者的丈夫来说却是万分重要。只有C项能够说明文章的中心思想。故C正确。
