解析
【分析】
本题为英语阅读理解选择题，解题思路为：先通读全文理解文章大意，再针对每道题的题干定位原文对应内容，结合语境分析选项。具体来说，21题需定位Henry生气的原因，22题需结合上下文猜测生词含义，23题需梳理Henry的情感变化，24题需提炼文章主旨。
【解析】
21题：根据题干“Henry was a little angry”定位到文章第四段，原文明确说明生气原因是“he thought he was the one who needed help”，对应选项C。
22题：“rude”所在语境为Henry认为Lisa让他帮忙，而自己才是需要帮助的人，因此觉得Lisa的行为不礼貌，“impolite”是其同义词，故选A。
23题：梳理Henry的情感变化：第一段妻子去世时是sad；被Lisa要求修篱笆时是angry；修完篱笆被感谢后是happy；最后理解Lisa的用意后是thankful，对应选项B。
24题：文章最后一段点明主旨“staying busy could help him forget his sorrow”，对应选项B。
