题型:不详难度:来源:
Johnny was a cashier (收银员) in a large store. Every night when he came home from work, he would find a saying for the day and print it out on fifty pages of paper. Johnny would cut out each saying and sign his name at the bottom of each one. Then he would put them in a paper bag and put the bag beside him at work. Each time he finished bagging someone’s purchases, he would put one of his saying pieces in the customer’s bag as well. It touched me to think that this young man —with a job that most people thought not important —had made it important by creating precious memories for all of his customers. A month later the store manager called me and said, "Barbara, you won’t believe what happened today. When I went up to where the cashiers were, I found Johnny’s line was three times longer than anyone else’s! So I got more cashiers out there and opened more lanes (通道), but no one would move. They all said they wanted Johnny’s saying for the day." The store manager continued, "I got a lump in my throat when a woman came up to me and said, "I used to shop at your store only once a week, but now I come in every time I go by for Johnny’s sayings.’" A few months later, the store manager called me again. "Johnny has changed our store completely," he said. "All of our cashiers now have their own personal signatures (签名). Everyone’s having a lot of fun creating good memories. Our customers are talking about us in a good way and are coming back with their friends." 1. How did Johnny deal with his saying pieces? A. He put them in customers’ pockets. B. He had others hand them to customers. C. He put them in customers’ shopping bags. D. He handed them to customers before they left. 2. With those sayings Johnny ___________. A. drew the other cashiers’ attention to himself B. got paid more than before C. made good memories for his customers D. encouraged himself to work harder 3. What did the store manager see a month later? A. All of his cashiers had their own personal signatures. B. Many customers chose Johnny’s lane to pay for their goods. C. The store went out of order because there were too many customers. D. Customers asked for Johnny’s sayings instead of buying goods. 4. The underlined part in the passage showed the store manager _________. A. didn’t know why this happened B. felt a little uncomfortable C. felt extremely sad D. was moved by what Johnny had done |
