He"s an old cobbler （修鞋匠） with a shop in the Marais, a historic area in Paris．W
题型：不详难度：来源：
But I"d had my eye on his shop for a long time．Just looking at his bench loaded with tools and pieces of leather, I knew he was a skilled craftsman． “No,” I replied, “the other fellow can"t do it well．”
“The other fellow” was one of those shopkeepers who fix shoes and make keys “while-U-wait” — without knowing much about mending shoes or making keys．They work carelessly, and when they have finished sewing back a sandal strap （鞋带） you might as well just throw away the pair．
My man saw I wouldn"t give in, and he smiled．He wiped his hands on his blue apron （围裙）, looked at my shoes, had me write my name on one shoe with a piece of chalk and said, “Come back in a week．”
I was about to leave when he took a pair of soft leather boots off a shelf．
“See what I can do?” he said with pride． “Only three of us in Paris can do this kind of work．”
When I got back out into the street, the world seemed brand-new to me．He was something out of an ancient legend, this old craftsman with his way of speaking familiarly, his very strange, dusty felt hat, his funny accent from who-knows-where and, above all, his pride in his craft．
These are times when nothing is important but the bottom line, when you can do things any old way as long as it “pays”, when, in short, people look on work as a path to ever-increasing consumption （消费） rather than a way to realize their own abilities．In such a period it is a rare comfort to find a cobbler who gets his greatest satisfaction from pride in a job well done．
小题1:Which of the following is true about the old cobbler?
| A．He was equipped with the best repairing tools． |
| B．He was the only cobbler in the Marais． |
| C．He was proud of his skills． |
| D．He was a native Parisian． |
| A．nowadays you can hardly find anyone like him |
| B．it was difficult to communicate with this man |
| C．the man was very strange |
| D．the man was too old |
| A．realize their abilities | B．gain happiness |
| C．make money | D．gain respect |

One day I came home from school, changed my clothes and got ready for work．I work at a local restaurant in town as a cashier, seater and waiter．
I went to work feeling 31 . And to make matters worse, I was busy that evening．It" s the same thing over and over again． 32 with customers who complain about their food and where they are 33 is too big or too small．Little things like that tend to 34 a lot of us 35 but we manage to deal with it．
Three elderly ladies walked in and sat by the windows．It happened to be the very 36 near where I keep the dirty 37 in the boxes．Trying to keep up with all the dirty tables, customers leaving and coming in and 38 running all over the house, it was crazy． 39 these elderly women were watching 40 I was working to make sure every table was clean and ready for the next customers．
When they 41 their meals, I took their plates back to the kitchen．They talked to me for a while about school, how I was doing, what 42 I was in and what I planned to do in the future．
43 they were leaving, they walked past me and one of them said to me in a 44 and gentle voice, "You are going places．And that was it．They left the 45 and I had tears in my eyes, because they gave me 46 to believe in myself．They 47 my spirit from being down and gave me a 48 to keep on working hard．
People used to tell me that I could not have a career in 49 until I had a degree．I"m now a co-anchor （联合主持人）of a student-produced television 50 . And the best thing is: I"m only 17 years old and I am a senior in high school．

Each Tuesday afternoon, after the bell rings for the fourth period, Liu becomes a fashion designer．At the same time, the rest of the students at the High School Attached to Yunnan Normal University in Kunming are also having classes a little bit different from the usual ones．Some students dance, others create robots, and still others review films．These are just a few of the other 27 elective （选修的） courses besides Liu"s sewing class that the school began to offer last month．

A bus pulled up, and I asked the driver how far she was going. "Four more lights," she said. There was another bus I could take form there. This clearly was going to be a long night.
She dropped me off at the end of her route and told me which bus to look for. After waiting 30 minutes, I began to think about a very expensive taxi ride home. Then a bus pulled up. There was no lighted number above its wind-shield. It was out of service. But the door opened, and I was surprised to find that it was the same driver.
"I just can"t leave you here, "she said. "This isn"t the nicest place. I"ll give you a ride home."
“You’ll drive me home in the bus?” I asked, perplexed(迷惑的).
“No, I’ll take you in my car,” she said.
“It’s a long way,” I protested(抗议).
“Come on,”she said. “I have nothing else to do.”
As we drove from the station in her car, she began telling me a story. A few days earlier, her brother had run out of gas. A good Samaritan picked him up, took him to a service station and then back to his car. “I’m just passing the favor along.”she said.
When I offered her money as a thank-you, she wouldn’t hear of it. “That would not make it a favor,” she said. “Just do something nice for somebody. Pass it along.”

ndeed．Early in the morning, three days _40_, we four were standing at the bus stop, with bags in our hands, _41_ for a bus to take us to the _42_． The sky was clear, the sun was shining, but all the same, it was very cold．_43_ our heavy overcoats were not enough to keep us _44_． We all felt that we should go back, but no one wanted to _45_．
We soon reached the sands． There was nobody there, but we were not to be discouraged． _46_ we were proud that we were the _47_ ones that dared to challenge(向……挑战) the weather． Besides, the sun could keep us warm． So we _48_ ourselves quickly．
But things were not going to be so nice as we thought． The sea wind was blowing, we felt _49_ cold and we shook from head to feet． At last, we decided to _50_ the sea water． We put our feet in first, only to take them back _51_．The water was unbelievably cold．The I 52 that we should all jump in at the same time． We all went back ten steps． I gave the order and we all rushed forward．We jumped．I shall never 53 the feeling I had when I was in the water. I got up and rushed against to the seaside. So _54_ my friends．We put on our clothes as quickly as possible and went home．
We four did not go to school the next three days, for we all _55_ a bad cold． We missed the lessons, but we got this unforgettable experience．
