The “Doorman” On a trip to California, my family stopped for lunch. As we walked toward the entrance to the restaurant, a man, with a 36 beard and dirty hair, jumped up from a bench and opened the door for us.Regardless of his 37 , he greeted us in a friendly way. Once inside, my daughters whispered, "Mom, he 38 " After we ordered our lunch, I explained, telling the kids to look 39 the dirt.We then watched other customers approach the restaurant but many 40 him.Seeing this rudeness truly upset me.The day I became a mother, I had decided to set a good 41 for my children.Yet sometimes when things didn"t go right, being a good example was 42 When our meal arrived, I realized I had left the car-sick pills in the truck.With the windiest trip ahead, the kids needed them, so I 43 myself from the meal and went to get them. Just then, the "doorman" was opening the door for a couple.They rushed past him without even acknowledging his 44 . Letting them in first, I said a loud "thank you" to him as I 45 . When I returned, we talked a bit.He said he was not allowed inside 46 he purchased food.I went back and told my family his 47 . Then I asked our waitress to add one soup and sandwich.The kids looked 48 as we had already eaten, but when I said the order was for the "doorman" , they smiled.When it was time to 49 our trip, I noticed the "doorman" enjoying his meal.Upon seeing me, he stood up and thanked me heartily.He then 50 his hand for a handshake and I gratefully accepted.I suddenly noticed the tears in his eyes—tears of 51 . What happened next drew great astonishment: I gave the " doorman" a 52 ! He pulled away, with tears 53 down his face. Back in truck, I fell into deep thought.While we can"t choose many things in life, we can choose when to show gratitude.I said thanks to a man who had 54 held open a door for me, and also said thanks for that 55 to teach my children by example.

Hearing a strange noise from the 5 of the car, he naturally got out to examine the wheels carefully, but he found nothing wrong, so he 6 his way. Again the noise began, 7 and became even louder. Quickly turning his head, the man saw what appeared to be a great 8 cloud following the car. When he stopped at a village further on, he was told that a queen bee must be hidden in his car as there were thousands of bees 9 . On learning this, the man drove away as quickly as possible. After an hour"s 10 driving, he arrived safely in London, where he parked his car outside a 11 and went in. It was not long before a customer who had seen him arrive 12 in to inform him that his car was 13 with bees. The poor driver was 14 that the best way should be to call a 15 .In a short time the man arrived. He found the unwelcome passenger hidden near the wheels at the back of the car. Very thankful to the driver for this unexpected gift, the bee-keeper took the queen and her thousands of followers home in a large box.

The day when the jobs were handed out was one of the most exciting moments for all the children in the class. It took place during the first week of the term. Every kid was given a job for which they would be responsible for the rest of that school year. Some jobs were more interesting than others, and the children were eager to be given one of the best ones. When giving them out, the teacher took into account which pupils had been most responsible during the previous year. During the previous year Rita had carried out the teacher’s instructions perfectly. All the children knew Rita would be given the best job. But there was a big surprise. Each child received a normal job. But Rita’s job was very different. She was given a little box containing some sand and one ant. Though the teacher insisted that this ant was very special, Rita felt disappointed. Most of her classmates felt sorry for her. Even her father became very angry with the teacher and he encouraged Rita to pay no attention to this insignificant pet. However, Rita preferred to show the teacher her error by doing something special with that job of little interest. Rita started investigating all about her little ant and gave the ant the best food, and it grew quite a bit bigger. One day, a man, who looked very important, came into their classroom and declared, “Your class has been chosen to accompany me, this summer, on a journey to the tropical rain forest, where we will investigate all kinds of insects. Among all the schools of this region, your class has best cared for the little ant.” That day the school was filled with joy and celebration. Everyone thanked Rita for having been so patient and responsible. And many children learnt that to be given the most important task you have to know how to be responsible even in what are the smallest tasks. 小题1:What did the teacher base his decision on when giving out jobs to the children?A.Their characters and interests. | B.Their class performance during the previous year. | C.Their working performance during the previous year. | D.Their ability of managing their accounts during the previous year. | 小题2:What does the underlined sentence mean?A.Each child got an important job. | B.Each child got an interesting job. | C.The perfect student got the job of everyone’s preference. | D.The most responsible student got the job of least interest. | 小题3:What is Rita’s attitude to her father’s suggestion?A.Negative. | B.Uncertain. | C.Totally positive. | D.Acceptive. | 小题4:We can infer that the man who made the declaration is a _________.A.hunter | B.director | C.biologist | D.principal | 小题5:What would be the best title for the passage?A.Never complain about life. | B.Small tasks can lead to fortunes. | C.Men are best known by their friends. | D.Responsibility and intelligence bring good luck. |

At Blossom End Railroad Station, 22-year-old Stanley Vine sat, waiting for his new employer. The surrounding green fields were so unlike the muddy landscape of war-torn France. After four horrible years as an army private fighting in Europe, Stanley had returned to England in February 1946. Armed now with some savings and with no prospects for a job in England, he answered a newspaper ad for farm help in Canada. Two months later he was on his way. When the old car rumbled (发着辘辘声) toward the tiny station, Stanley rose to his feet, trying to make the most of his five foot and four inches frame. The farmer, Alphonse Lapine, shook his head and complained, “You’re a skinny thing.” On the way to his dairy farm, Alphonse explained that he had a wife and seven kids. “Money is tight. You’ll get room and board. You’ll get up at dawn for milking, and then help me around the farm until evening milking time again. Ten dollars a week. Sundays off.” Stanley nodded. He had never been on a farm before, but he took the job. From the beginning Stanley was treated horribly by the whole family. They made fun of the way he dressed and talked. He could do nothing right. The humourless farmer frequently lost his temper, criticizing Stanley for the slightest mistake. The oldest son, 13-year-old Armand, constantly played tricks on him. But the kind-hearted Stanley never responded. Stanley never became part of the Lapine family. After work, they ignored him. He spend his nights alone in a tiny bedroom. However, each evening before retiring, he lovingly cared for the farmer’s horses, eagerly awaiting him at the field gate. He called them his gentle giants. On Saturday nights he hitch-hiked into the nearest town and wandered the streets or enjoyed a restaurant meal before returning to the farm. Early one November morning Alphonse Lapine discovered that Stanley had disappeared, after only six months as his farmhand. The railway station master, when questioned later that week, said he had not seen him. In fact no one in the community ever heard of him again. That is, until one evening, almost 20 years later, when Armand, opened an American sports magazine and came across a shocking headline, “Millionaire jockey (赛马骑师), Stanley Vine, ex-British soldier and 5-time horse riding champion, began life in North America as a farmhand in Canada.” 小题1:Stanley Vine decided to go to Canada because ___________.A.he wanted to escape from war-torn France | B.he wanted to serve in the Canadian army | C.he couldn’t find a job in England | D.he loved working as a farmhand | 小题2:Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?A.Stanley joined the French army when he was 18 years old. | B.On the farm Stanley had to milk the cows 14 times a week. | C.The Lapine family were very rich but cruel to Stanley. | D.Stanely read about the job offer in a newspaper. | 小题3:What did Stanley like doing after work each day?A.Hitch-hiking to different towns. | B.Caring for the farmer’s horses. | C.Wandering around the farm alone. | D.Preparing meals on the farm. | 小题4:Why was Armand so astonished when he read about Stanley in the magazine?A.He didn’t know Stanley had been a British soldier. | B.He had no idea Stanley had always been a wealthy man. | C.He didn’t know his father paid Stanley so little money. | D.He didn’t expect Stanley to become such a success. |

At the 51 of this, immediately all the members of the revolutionary group started dropping 52 of gratitude (感激), because he had 53 all that he had to their cause.
