B. 根据短文内容,按要求回答问题。
I remember driving to Palm Springs from San Diego with my family when I was eight. None of us expected a snowstorm on our vacation, but one hour into the drive, it began to snow. My eyes lit up. I really missed snow. Seeing it land on a plant made me full of tears. How I missed cold Minnesota, my hometown.
As we drove higher, the storm got worse. It wasn't long before we had no choice but to pull over. As our car slid to a stop, I looked into the distance. A queue of cars as long as the Mississippi River waited there.
Just then, a car came from behind, suddenly changing direction to avoid hitting our car. The driver, an old man, hit the brakes(刹车), and his car slid across the road. It didn't take us too long to realize his car was slowly moving closer and closer to the cliff.
Suddenly, several people who were sitting in their cars jumped out. From the car window, I watched an inspiring scene. Four people took the chains(链条) off their own cars' tires and put them on the old man's tires. Two people removed the snow from his tires and tried to break the ice with their shoes. Just as the old man's car and all his belongings were about to fall off the cliff, people stepped up. Their kind hearts helped him get through the snowstorm.
Though it was $-30°\mathrm{C}$, my heart was as warm as ever. This act of kindness just reminded me how thankful I am for people and moments like these.
21. Why did the writer cry when he saw the snow?
22. What did the writer see after the car slid to a stop?
23. What happened to the old man's car after changing its direction?
24. How did the strangers help the old man?
25. What can we learn from the people in the story?
