Suspended (待用的) Coffee

This story will warm you better than a coffee on a cold winter day.

One day, my friend and I entered a little coffeehouse and ordered two cups of coffee. While we were waiting, two young men came in and began to order, “Five cups of coffee, please. Two of them for us and three suspended.” They paid for their order, took the two and left. I asked my friend:“What are those 'suspended' coffees?” Instead of giving me the answer, he told me to wait and see.

Some more people came. Two girls asked for one coffee each, paid and went away. Thencame three lawyers who paid for seven coffees—three for themselves and four suspended. While I still wonderedwhat the suspended coffees were, I enjoyed the sunny weather and the beautiful view in front of the coffeehouse. Suddenly a poor man like a beggar(乞丐) came into the coffeehouse. He kindly ordered a suspended coffee and sat there to drink it.

At that moment, I knew the meaning of the suspended coffees. It's simple — people pay the coffee in advance(預(yù)先) for someone who can't afford it. The tradition with the suspended coffees started inItaly, but it has spread all over the world. Meanwhile, I understood suspendedcoffee is not only a cup of coffee, but also the warmth and love to someone in need.

C．Five

D．Seven.

2.Who ordered a suspended coffee ?

Hello, everyone! My name is Steve. Lunchtime is my favorite time. I love the school lunch.

Many students don’t like the school lunch. They take their own (自己的) lunch to school. Their mothers may make hamburgers and salad for them for lunch. Some students take leftovers(剩飯菜) for lunch.

We eat lunch and we like to talk (談?wù)? about sports and TV shows (電視節(jié)目). We also talk about school life: our favorite subjects, our favorite teachers and our favorite days. After our lunch, we usually play games.

At school, I love lunchtime. For me it is the best time of my day!
