    I had a life on the go. I was always hurried into the next stuff, but this time I was to date with the girl I cared for deeply, so I had to be on time. I found myself at a checkout counter behind an elderly woman seemingly in no hurry as he paid for her groceries. A PhD student without a lot of money, I had hurried into the store to pick up some flowers. I was in a huge rush, thinking of my upcoming evening. I did not want to be late for this date.

We were in Boston, a place not always known for small conversation between strangers. The woman stopped unloading her basket and looked up at me. She smiled. It was a nice smile-warm and reassuring-and I returned her gift by smiling back.

“Must be a special lady, whoever it is that will be getting those beautiful flowers,” she said.

“Yes, she’s special,” I said, and then to my embarrassment, the words kept coming out. “It’s only our second date, but somehow I am just having the feeling she’s ‘the one’. Jokingly, I added, “The only problem is that I can’t figure out why she’d want to date a guy like me.”

“Well, I think she’s very lucky to have a boyfriend who brings her such lovely flowers and who is obviously in love with her,” the woman said. “My husband used to bring me flowers every week - even when times were tough and we didn’t have much money. Those were incredible days; he was very romantic and —of course — I miss him since he’s passed away.”

I paid for my flowers as she was gathering up her groceries. There was no doubt in my mind as I walked up to her. I touched her on the shoulder and said, “You were right, you know, These flowers are indeed for a very special lady.” I handed her the flowers and thanked her for such a nice conversation.

It took her a moment to realize that I was giving her the flowers I had just purchased. “You have a wonderful evening, “ I said. I left her with a big smile and my heart warmed as I saw her smelling the beautiful flowers.

I remember being slightly late for my date that night and telling my girlfriend the above story. A couple of years later, when I finally worked up the courage to ask her to many me, she told me that this story had helped to seal it for her — that was the night that I won her heart.

    The stars arrived stylishly in a boat, waving to onlookers and photographers waiting on the shore of Victoria Harbor, Hong Kong.

The “Lust, Caution” famous and respectable star, Tony Leung said that there was a reason why he wanted to challenge himself to do comedy, even after he received countless accolades for his successful role of the Kung Fu master Ye Wen in “The Grandmaster.” “Basically after ‘The Grandmaster’ I don’t plan on shooting any more dramas.

    Bloomy spring days come again, another year of job hunting as well. So fierce is the competition that job hunters must make careful decisions in every aspect. Whatever we are wearing, our family and friends may accept us, but the workplace may not.

A newspaper said it is unfair for companies to discourage visible tattoos(纹身), nose rings, or certain dress styles. It is true you can’t judge a book by its cover, yet people do “cover” themselves in order to convey certain messages. What we wear, including tattoos and nose rings, is an expression of who we are. Just as people convey messages about themselves with their their appearances, so do companies. Dress standards exist in the business world for a number of reasons, but the main concern is often about what customers accept.

Others may say how to dress is a matter of personal freedom, but for businesses it is more about making or lose money. Most employers care about the personal appearances of their employees, because those people represent the companies to their customers.

As a hiring manager, I am paid to choose the people who would make the best impression on our customers. There are plenty of well-qualified applicants, so it is not wrong to reject someone who might disappoint my customers, Ever though I am open-minded, I can’t expect all our customers are.

There is nobody to blame but yourself if your set of choices does not match your preferred employer’s. No company should have to change to satisfy an applicant simply because he or she is unwilling to respect its standards, as long as its standards are legal.

A.People’s appearances carry messages about themselves.

    Nowadays golf is a very popular game around the world and the golf course is usually Perfectly taken care of by the owners. When a golfer plays on any golf course, he or she expects the course has a lot of hazards(障碍区)like sands, woods, and ponds of water. There is one special golf course, though, where along with these hazards that stand still, the player must expect to compete against hundreds of moving hazards. The golf course is on Christmas Island. The island is an area of Australia in the Indian Ocean, the third largest ocean in the world, lying between Africa and Australia. The moving hazards are bright red, four-and-one-half-inch crabs, small creatures with five pairs of legs, carrying a shell.

Over 150 million of these brightly colored crabs live in the island’s rainforests. Every year, starting around November, the crabs migrate(迁徙), that is, they leave the rainforest and make their way to the ocean. They arrive at the coast after one to three weeks. But the males return to the rainforest earlier than the females, who return about half a month later after producing up to 100,000 eggs.

On Christmas Island there is a golf course which was built on the crabs, migration route. During the migration season, there are hundreds of red crabs moving on the course. The rules of the Christmas Island Golf Club say that all players must treat the crabs as they would treat any other hazard. They cannot move them, and they must play around them. If a walking crab happens to knock a ball while it is on the green, hitting it into a hole, the ball is considered “in”.

The golfers must compete against a moving hazard, and actually so must the crabs. People have built roads that run through the crabs’ migration route. Unluckily, up to two million crabs are killed by passing vehicles every year. People are trying to reduce the number by putting up “Crab Crossing’’ signs and closing certain roads during the migration season.

1.What do we learn about the red crabs according to paragraph two?

A.They arrive in the rainforest in November.
