PAGE PAGE 1 Unit 3 Amazing people 一、阅读理解。 As my husband，Doug，stood on the busy New York city street trying to stop a cab, I angled the stroller(婴儿车)away from the cold December wind and rain.I knelt down and kissed my daughter on her cheek where veins crept up(静脉突出)the side of her tiny face.

Just at the moment，a middle-aged woman pulled over and said，“Pardon me？May I offer you a ride？” Before we could say anything，she continued，“Its really no trouble for me.Just get on.” It was then that I noticed her thick Irish tongue，an accent that warmed me like hot soup.
