通读下面短文，掌握其大意，然后在各题所给的A，B，C，D四个选项中，选出一个最佳答案。
I was in the queue for the supermarket checkout(付款台) earlier today．All of the checkouts were 36 , and the woman behind me was not happy! Every word that came from her mouth was a(n) 37 ! She wasn’t happy with the number of checkouts 38 ; she wasn’t happy with the amount of shopping some people had in their baskets; she wasn’t happy because this supermarket didn’t have a stand where she 39 scan her own shopping.
I listened to her 40 looking around as I loaded my stuff onto the conveyor belt (传送带)．I didn’t want 41 to do with that kind of attitude, and if ever I’d felt like letting someone go 42 of me, it wouldn’t be such a woman!
But then I 43 back．Standing beside the woman was a five-year-old girl, 44 her granddaughter．The girl’s part of the shopping 45 of some comic books.
I couldn’t 46 it．I pushed my shopping back to the end of the conveyor belt, 47 a space．“After you,” I said to the woman and the girl, and 48 them to a big 49 ．The woman was delighted, and even 50 to complain ---- until she was walking away．
So, 51 bother having helped? It was because that little girl was probably taking in her granny’s complaint like a sponge(海绵)．She was learning how to 52 situations like that by listening to her granny．I’d seen that I could interrupt that complaining, and put a smile and some 53 into the middle of it．
We can all complain; we can all react 54 , but it doesn’t have to be like that．And, even if only for a few 55 , I wanted to leave that little soul with just a glimpse of another way．

举一反三
My mother was a household servant. Through her work, she observed that successful people spent a lot more time reading than they did watching television. She announced that my brother and I could only watch two to three pre-selected TV programs during the week. With our free time, we had to read two books each from the Detroit Public Library and write book reports. She would mark them up with check marks. Years later we realized her marks were a ruse. My mother had only received a third-grade education. Although we had no money, between the covers of those books, I could go anywhere, do anything and be anybody.
When I entered high school, I was an A-student, but not for long. I wanted the fancy clothes. I wanted to hang out with the guys. I went form being an A- student to a B- student to a C-student, but I didn’t care.
One night my mother came home and I complained about not having enough shirts. She said, “Okay, I’ll give you all the money I make this week cleaning floors and bathrooms, and you can buy the family food and pay the bills. With everything left over, you can have all the shirts you want.”
I was very pleased with that arrangement but once I got through allocating(分配) money, there was nothing left. I realized my mother was a financial genius to be able to keep a roof over our heads and any kind of food on the table, much less buy clothes.
I also realized that immediate satisfaction wasn’t going to get me anywhere. Success required intellectual(理智的) preparation. I went back to my studies and became an A-student again. I dreamed of becoming a doctor when I was just a kid. And now I have achieved my dream.
Over the years my mother’s changeless faith in God has inspired me, particularly when I found myself faced with my own medical illness. A few years ago I discovered I had a very serious cancer; I was told it might have spread to my spine(脊柱). My mother believed in God very much. She never worried. She said that God would never throw me away forever; there was no way that this was going to be a major problem. The abnormality in spine turned out to be not bad; I was able to have surgery and am cured.
My story is really my mother’s story －a woman little formal education or worldly goods who used her position as a parent to change the lives of her children.
小题1: The underlined word “ruse” in the first paragraph probably means .| A．discovery | B．success | C．trick | D．pleasure |
小题2:When the author asked his mother to buy him shirts, she .| A．advised him to earn money by himself | | B．asked him to try to manage their money | | C．persuaded him not to buy them patiently | | D．agreed to buy them for him immediately |
小题3: What do we learn about the author?| A．He now works as a doctor. | | B．He disliked watching TV as a kid. | | C．He received little formal education. | | D．He often did housework when young. |
小题4:The underlined word “this” in the last but one paragraph refers to .| A．God’s throwing me away | | B．my own medical illness | | C．the operation on my spine | | D．my mother’s changeless faith in God |
小题5:In writing the passage, the author mainly shows us .| A．the happy relationships in his family | | B．the benefits of reading for young children | | C．the importance of formal education for adults | | D．his mother’s great influence on his development |
