“Why do we shout in anger?” a saint (圣人) asked his disciples (门徒). “Why do people shout at each other when they are upset?”
His disciples thought for a while, and one of them said, “Because we 16 our calm, we shout for that.”
“But, why do you shout when the other person is 17 next to you?” asked the saint. “Isn’t it possible to speak to him or her with a soft 18 ? Why do you shout at a person when you’re angry?”
Disciples gave some other answers but none 19 the saint. Finally he explained, “When two people are angry at each other, their 20 distance a lot. To cover that distance they must shout to be able to hear each other. The angrier they are, the 21 they will have to shout to hear each other through that great distance.”
Then the saint asked, “What 22 when two people fall in love? They don’t shout at each other but talk softly, why? Because their hearts are very close and the distance between them is very 23 .”
The saint continued, “When they love each other even more, what happens? They do not speak loudly, only whisper and they get 24 closer to each other in their love. Finally they even need not whisper, they only 25 each other and that’s all. That is how close two people are when they love each other.”
The saint said finally, “When you argue, do not let your hearts get 26 , and do not say words that distance each other more, or there will come a day when the distance is so great that you will not 27 the path to return!”

I never thought I would have a life-changing experience at Wal-Mart.
Although my thoughts were only on speed, the checkout line I was standing in wasn"t moving as quickly as I wanted, and I glanced toward the cashier.
There stood a man in his seventies, wearing glasses and a nice smile. I thought, well, he"s an old guy!
For the next few minutes I watched him. He greeted every customer before scanning the items. Sure, his words were the usual, "How"s it going?" But he did something different--he actually listened to people. Then he would respond to what they had said and engage them in brief conversation.
I thought it was odd. I has grown accustomed to people asking me how I was doing simply out of robotic conversational habit. After a while, you don"t give any thought to the question and just mumble something back. I could say, "I just found out I have six months to live," and someone would reply, "Have a great day!"
But that wasn"t the end.
He gave them the change, walked around the counter, and extended his right hand in an act of friendship. He looked the customers in the eyes. "I sure want to thank you for shopping here today," he told them. "You have a great day. Bye-bye."
The looks on the faces of the customers were priceless. There were smiles and some sheepish grins. All had been touched by his simple gesture--and in a place they never expected. They would gather their things and walk out, smiling.
Of course, he did the same to me and I got to know his name--Marty.
Who was that guy? It was as if Sam Walton had come back from the dead and invaded this old guy"s body.
I had never walked away from that shop feeling like that.
小题1:What was most customers" reaction to Marty"s behavior?| A．They thought it priceless. | | B．They thought it awful and odd. | | C．They felt somewhat offended. | | D．They were in some way moved. |
小题2:The checkout line the writer was standing in moved slower than expected because______| A．the cashier did more than scanning the items | | B．the cashier couldn"t work as fast as others | | C．there were some big purchases | | D．the writer was not patient enough |
小题3:What can we infer about Sam Walton?| A．He might be Marty"s father or grandfather. | | B．He might have died while working in the market. | | C．He might be friendly and devoted to Wal-Mart. | | D．He might have come back from the dead once before. |
小题4:According to the writer, when common people ask you "How"s it going?"| A．they are just practicing their conversation ability | | B．they are inquiring about your private information | | C．they don"t expect to hear any negative answers | | D．they don"t really care what you may answer |
小题5:What does the writer intend to express through the text?| A．Our everyday life is always full of surprises. | | B．Being different is a good way of doing business. | | C．A little positive action can make a big difference. | | D．Most customers enjoy being treated this way. |

One day when I was driving on the freeway, I noticed all the way there were large dividing walls, which had been built between it and the road running parallel to it, for noise reduction (减少) and a sense of separation. The purpose was to create a sense of privacy (隐私) for people on the other side.
This got me thinking: How often do we put up mental barriers that keep us distant from others? Lifting the artificial barriers that keep us apart can offer opportunities to express our goodwill and create better relationships. If we can do like this, maybe our life will be a little different.
There is a little post office in a nearby town, and since it is closer to me than the post office in my own town, I go there. One day, with many people jammed into the little building, a man came hurrying in to mail a letter, and the girl at the counter saw he had too little postage on it. She told him he needed 2 more cents. Obviously he was a little at a loss. He had hurried over from his office, and didn’t have any money on him or time to stand in line. He was going to run back to get the needed money and wait in line again, but he hurried to get the letter mailed in the first place.
As we were watching him, one woman volunteered a two-cent stamp, and the whole line became very quiet. It was a beautiful moment. The man hesitated for a little while and asked her if she was sure, and she assured him she was fine with giving him the stamp. He offered to go back to his office to get the two cents, and she told him not to bother.
It was a small thing, but it meant something to both of the people involved, and to the rest of us. We aren’t a yard that needs defining or a freeway that needs barriers. We are human beings who can contribute to each other’s wellbeing by taking time to pay attention and interact. After all, we are all parts of a whole living in society.
小题1:The purpose of the first paragraph is to __________.| A．summarize the main idea | | B．give detailed information | | C．tell readers the author’s opinion | | D．introduce the topic |
小题2:What happened after the man being told he needed two more cents?| A．The man went back to his office immediately. | | B．The man turned to a lady for help. | | C．A woman offered a stamp to the man. | | D．The man waited in line patiently. |
小题3:What can we learn about the author?| A．She pays too much attention to privacy. | | B．She believes people should participate in the world around them. | | C．She confuses real barriers with false ones. | | D．She insists all small things always have the greatest meaning. |
小题4:Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?| A．Artificial Barriers | B．Unnecessary Separation | | C．An Unforgettable Experience | D．The Kindness of People |
