河北辛集中学2021级高二寒假作业 英语学科试卷（十二） 一、阅读理解 Vinny Proscia, 41, who works at Bagels 101 on Middle Country Road, has won praise for an unusual act of kindness to a family he hardly knew. Proscia drove nearly six hours on Saturday night to northeast Pennsylvania to drop off a set of car keys that customer Diana Chong left in his shop that morning before she headed to a Friendsgiving celebration near Scranton. Chong left her keys near the front counter before returning to her SUV to begin the family’s 185-mile trip to Honesdale, Pennsylvania, where they were meeting childhood friends for a pre-Thanksgiving celebration. Her SUV has an automatic start device that allows the vehicle to continue running without keys but the SUV is needed to restart once it’s turned off. Luckily, the Chongs never shut the engine off during the long drive, saving them from potentially being stranded at a highway rest stop. But panic set in when they arrived in Honesdale and searched for the keys. Diana Chong reached Proscia, who offered to ship the keys to her overnight. But Proscia could not find a delivery service open on Sunday or capable of sending them to her before Monday. That’s when Proscia, who had been working since 5 a.m., stepped up, telling his wife, Renee, that he was taking a road trip to Pennsylvania. Proscia hit the road at about 4:30 p.m. Saturday and arrived in Honesdale at 10:30 p.m. because of heavy traffic. When Proscia got there, he received a hero’s reception. Chong’s sister, Gina Sulrzycki, posted an item about Proscia’s kindness on the Internet on Saturday night and the story got around, getting shared nearly 1,800 times. Chong, meanwhile, said there will forever be a seat at her holiday table for Proscia and his family. “We had a great Friendsgiving because of him,” Chong said. “It’s an act of kindness that needs to be spread.” 1．Why did Proscia drive to northeast Pennsylvania? A．To attend a Friendsgiving celebration. B
