Is a nearby neighbour better than a faraway cousin? An American lady, Anna Lane, believes it's true. Her kind neighbours once helped her out when she was in a big trouble.

Mrs. Lane was living alone in a city in Texas, US. The woman in her 70s could do a lot of housework herself. However, she was too old to mow（修剪）her lawn（草坪）. Then a big trouble found her. She let the grass grow over 18 inches high and it broke the law in her city. As a result, she was in danger of paying lots of money or even going to prison!

Luckily, her neighbours, the Adams brothers, heard the news about her on TV. They decided to do something to help. “We haven't met her yet, but she's 75 years old and she needs some help, “said Sam Adams, one of the boys. “That's the least we could do.”

The Adams brothers took their mowers（修剪机）and came to Mrs Lane's house to mow her lawn without telling her. Once they got started, other neighbours saw what was going on and joined in the effort.

Together they worked hard in the sun and finished mowing the whole lawn in about two hours. When Mrs Lane saw what her neighbours did for her, she was surprised and moved to tears（感动得落泪）. “I cannot believe this, “she said. “They were so kind to spend two hours helping me and I didn't even know their names. “As for the Adams brothers, they said they would always be ready to help her.

31. D细节理解题。根据第二段中的句子“Mrs. Lane was living alone in a city in Texas, US. The woman in her 70s could do a lot of housework herself. However, she was too old to mow（修剪）her lawn（草坪）.” 可知，莱恩太太独自一人生活。年龄70多岁，可以自己做很多家务。却因年龄大无法修剪草坪。故*为D。

32. B细节理解题。根据第二段中的句子“She let the grass grow over 18 inches high and it broke the law in her city. As a result, she was in danger of paying lots of money or even going to prison!” 她让草长到18英寸高，这违反了她所在城市的法律。结果，她面临着要付很多钱甚至入狱的危险！故*为B。

34. C判断正误题。根据文中句子“We haven't met her yet, but she's 75 years old and she needs some help”可知，亚当斯兄弟没有见过莱恩太太，A选项错误；根据“I didn't even know their names.”可知，莱恩太太几乎不知道她的邻居的名词，B选项错误；根据“I cannot believe this”可知，莱恩太太没想到邻居会帮助她。C选项正确；根据“The Adams brothers took their mowers（修剪机）and came to Mrs. Lane's house to mow her lawn without telling her.”可知，亚当斯兄弟是拿着自己的修剪机，D选项错误。故*选C。
