Henry is going through a very hard time. His wife just passed away (去世). He feels that life without her is hopeless. For months, Henry sits in his house, doing nothing.
Henry's neighbour, an old woman named Lisa, sees him from her yard one day. She hasn't seen him outside in days! She asks him to come closer to the fence (篱笆) next to her house.
"Hello, Henry! Just look at this fence. It is falling apart. You are a strong man. Can you help me fix (修补) this fence?" Lisa asks.
Henry is angry inside. He is the one who needs help right now. He thinks the old lady is being kind of rude (粗鲁的). But she is too old to fix the fence herself, so he agrees.
Henry works on the fence for days. When he finishes, she thanks him. Henry smiles for the first time in months.
"What a wonderful job! Could you please paint it for me?" Lisa says to him.
Henry cannot believe she is asking for more help. But because he respects (尊重) her, he agrees again. He tries his best to paint the fence in the hot sun. As their neighbours pass by, they all tell Henry what a beautiful job he has done! Henry feels very happy.
Henry feels that life is still hopeful. He finally understands that Lisa isn't being rude. She knows that staying busy can help us forget our sadness. He helped her, but she truly saved him.

解析
【分析】
做这类英语阅读理解题，需先通读全文把握故事脉络与核心主旨，再针对每个小题回到原文定位关键信息，逐一分析选项排除错误答案，最终确定正确选项。比如28题需定位关于Lisa的描述，29题梳理Henry的情绪变化，30题提炼文章主旨，31题概括最佳标题。
【解析】
28题：根据原文“Henry's neighbour, an old woman named Lisa”可知Lisa是老妇人，A选项错误；由最后一段“He finally understands that Lisa isn't being rude”可知C选项错误；Lisa是Henry的邻居，住得近，D选项错误；Lisa通过让Henry帮忙修篱笆、刷篱笆来帮助他走出悲伤，故B选项正确。
29题：Henry因妻子去世初期处于悲伤（sad）状态；被Lisa要求修篱笆时内心生气（angry）；完成工作后被邻居夸奖感到开心（happy）；最后理解Lisa的用意，内心充满感激（thankful），情绪变化顺序为Sad—angry—happy—thankful，故B选项正确。
30题：原文最后一段明确提到“She knows that staying busy can help us forget our sadness”，点明文章主旨，即忙碌可能帮助我们忘记悲伤，故D选项正确。
31题：文章主要讲述Henry因妻子去世陷入悲伤，Lisa通过让他帮忙做事情使其忙碌，从而走出悲伤的故事，核心是度过悲伤的好方法，故最佳标题为C选项。
