And to make matters worse, I was busy that evening. It' s the same thing over and over again. 37 with customers who complain about their food andwhere they are 38 is too big or too small. Little things like that tend to 39 a lot of us 40 but we manage to deal with it. Three elderly ladies walked in and sat by the windows. It happened to be the very 41 near where I keep the dirty 42 in the boxes. Trying to keep up with all the dirty tables, customers leaving and coming in and 43 running all over the house, it was crazy． 44 these elderly women were watching 45 I was working to make sure every table was clean and ready for the next customers. When they 46 their meals, I took their plates back to the kitchen. They talked to me for a while about school, how I was doing, what 47 I was in and what I planned to do in the future. 48 they were leaving, they walked past me and one of them said to me in a 49 and gentle voice, “You are going places.（你前途无量） And that was it.” They left the 50 and I had tears in my eyes, because they gave me 51 to believe in myself．They 52 my spirit from being down and gave me a 53 to keep on working hard. People used to tell me that I couldn’t have a career in 54 until I had a degree. I'm now a co-anchor (联合主持人) of a student-produced television 55 .

One day while shopping in a small town in southern California，it was my misfortune to be approached by a clerk whose personality conflicted with mine. He seemed most unfriendly and not at all concerned about my intended purchase. I bought nothing，and marched angrily out of the store. My hostility（敌意） toward that clerk increased with each step. On the outside，standing by the road，was a darkskinned young man in his early twenties. His expressive brown eyes met and held mine，and in the next instant a beautiful, dazzling smile covered his face. I gave way immediately. The magnetic（磁力的） power of that smile dissolved all bitterness within me，and I found the muscles in my own face happily responding（回应）. “Beautiful day，isn't it？”I remarked，in passing. Then，I turned back.“I really owe you a debt of gratitude，”I said softly. His smile deepened, but he made no attempt to answer．A Mexican woman and two men were standing nearby．The woman stepped forward and volunteered, "Sir, but he doesn't speak English．Do you want me to tell him something?" In that moment I felt transformed（改变）．The young man's smile had made a big person of me．My friendliness and good will toward all mankind stood ten feet tall． "Thank you?" The woman seemed slightly puzzled． I gave her arm a friendly pat as I turned to leave．"Just tell him that," I insisted．"He'll understand．I am sure !" Oh, what a smile can do! Although I have never seen that young man again, I shall never forget the lesson he taught me that morning．From that day on, I became smile-conscious, and I practice the art anywhere and everywhere, with everybody． 1.Why did the author leave the store angrily?
2.By saying "I felt the muscles（肌肉） in my own face happily responding" （in Paragraph 2）, the author means __.
3.The author asked the woman to say "Thank you!" to the young man because the young man_____.
4.In the passage, the author seems to suggest that we should __ ___.

I once had a friend that was diagnosed with terminal cancer, and the news that he might only live up to six months was a great shock to him, his family, and his friends．However, in spite of the serious illness, he was initially（开始） determined to look into all available treatments that might cure or extend his life．I think that when you find yourself in such situations, you tend to look up every possible way for hope of saving your life． As months went on and his health grew worse, I noticed an unexpected change in attitude that came over him．He had also been a happy person with a cheerful personality, but rather than give in to discouragement and self-pity, he took comfort in God and humanity（人性）．His talks focused on others rather than himself, and he spoke of the afterlife as something he was prepared for, believing that his concerned ancestors, including his mother and father, were there waiting for him． During the last few months, weeks, and days of his life, he was kindly cared for by family, friends, his loving wife, who looked after both his physical and emotional needs, and workers from a local hospice （安养院） came to the home to regulate（调节） his medication （药）and provide any other needed support．He didn't complain about his fate, and he willingly allowed others to serve him． Indeed, one might think why God allows death and suffering in our world, but for me, such experiences taught me to value family more and kindness for others．You often can't learn these important attributes（属性）in the lap of luxury（处在优裕舒适的环境中）, and perhaps, such an experience is the greatest and final gift the illness can give those left behind． 1.Which word can best describe the man's initial reaction as soon as he was diagnosed with cancer?
2.What did the man do after he first learned of his illness?
3.What was the man's main source of comfort after several months with the disease?
4.What did the author learn from his friend’s story?

Social networking isn’t only for the under 40s. More than 25 percent of Americans 50 years and older stay connected using sites such as Facebook, MySpace and Twitter, according to new research. “The latest data tells us that more and more social networking is becoming a part of everyday life for Americans 50 plus,” said Kevin Donnellan, the chief communications officer at AARP, which released （发布）the report. Nearly a quarter of older Americans are on Facebook and 73 percent said they use it to stay in touch with relatives, but not just their children and grandchildren. “They are using the Internet to keep up with the world and the people who are important to them,” said Jean Koppen, the author of the report. She added that older adults are also on Facebook to stay connected, not only with their family, but with their friends and those in the same age group. Almost 50 percent of older adults were introduced to the social networking sites by a family member, mainly a child or grandchild. “Just under one-fifth of adults aged 50 and older say they do not use the Internet,” according to the report. The findings are based on a telephone survey of 1,863 adults. In addition to keeping up on Facebook and Twitter older adults are aware of the latest technology. Eighty-three percent had heard about the Apple iPad and 11 percent intended to buy one. Despite the popularity of the Internet among the over 50s, they still mostly go to print newspapers and magazines for news. Only one percent said they followed blogs. 1.What is the main idea of the text? A.Social networking isn’t for the under 40s in the U.S.A. B.American old people’s way of life is quite fashionable.
