题型:不详难度:来源:
My first job was at a local restaurant, where I worked for seven years and learned so many lessons, especially from a fellow  16 .
Helen was in her 30s and had extraordinary(非凡的) self-confidence, something I was really  17 . I looked up to Helen  18 she was doing what she loved—  19 people better. She always made everyone, customers(顾客) and co-workers(同事),  20 and feel good.
Being a waitress changed my life. One of my  21 customers was Fred Hasbrook. He always ate an omelet(炒蛋), and when I saw him _22 , I tried to have it on his table as soon as he sat down.
Thanks to the newfound confidence I  23 __from Helen, I dreamed of having my own  __24 . But when I called my parents to ask for a loan(贷款), they said, “We just don’t have the money.”
The next day, Fred saw me and asked, “What’s  25 ? You’re not smiling today.” I  26__my dream with him and said, “Fred, I know I can do more if somebody  27 just have faith in (信任)me.”
Before long he handed me checks  28 __$50,000—along with a note that I have to this day. It reads, “The only collateral(抵押品)on this loan is my trust(信任) in your  29 as a person. Good people with a dream should have  30  __to make that dream come true.”
I took the checks to Merrill Lynch, where the money was provided for me. I 31  __working at the restaurant, making  32 for the restaurant I would open. My plans soured(被破灭), though, and I lost the  33 .
Later I decided to apply for a job at  Merill Lynch. Even though I had no experience, I was__34 and ended up becoming a pretty good agent(代理商,代理人).   35 , I paid back Fred the $50,000, plus 14-percent annual interest(利息 ). Five years later, I was able to open my own firm(公司).

“Oh, honey,” I said. “I don’t think you’ll break  43  arm.”
“But I could, couldn’t I?”
“Yes,” I  44  and found myself struggling for the right thing to say. At times like this, I  45 I had someone who might help me find the right words to make my girl’s problems disappear. But after a painful  46  , I’d decided to remain single.
“ I don’t want to ride,” she said and got off her bike.
“ You know, honey,” I said. “ Almost everything you do comes with  47  . You could break your arm jumping rope. You  48 break your arm at gymnastics. Do you want to stop going to gymnastics?”
“No,” she said. And with a  49  spirit, she agreed to try it again. I held on to her bike until she found the  50 to say, “Let’s go!” I spent the rest of the afternoon watching a brave little girl overcome a  51  .
As we walked home, she  52  me about a conversation I had. “Why were you and grandma arguing last night?”
My mother wanted me to marry again,  53  I told her I didn’t want to meet the Mr. Perfect she  54  for me. She said she knew Steve was the man for me.
“It’s nothing,” I told her.
She shrugged, “Grandma said she just wanted you to find someone to 55  .”
“What grandma wants is for some guy to break my  56  again!” I lost control.
She was  57  for several minutes. Then she said something 58  me to think about. “So I think love isn’t like a broken arm.”
Unable to answer, we walked in silence. Later I did what my brave girl did that afternoon. I 59 to meet Steve.
Steve was the man for me. We married soon. It turned out mother and my daughter were 60  .

Breakfast is the most important meal of the day. It is also the most neglect (忽视). Common reasons for not eating breakfast include having no time, not feeling hungry, traditional dislike and dieting.
Breakfast simply means “break the fast’’. Your body spends at least 6 to 12 hours each night in a fasting state. In the morning your body needs energy for the day’s work ahead. 
A good breakfast should provide 1/3 of your total calorie(卡路里)needs for the day. On average, we eat 400 less calories for breakfast than for dinner. If breakfast doesn’t appeal (吸引) to you in the morning, try eating a lighter dinner earlier in the evening or save half of your dinner for breakfast in the morning.
If you still aren’t hungry in the morning, start with something small like juice or toast or have a nutritious (有营养的) mid-morning snack (小吃) later when you are hungry.
So, you say you are on a diet. Some people fear that eating breakfast will make them hungrier during the day and they will eat more. It is true that eating breakfast is likely to make you feel hungry throughout the day. That is because your body is working correctly. Although you may feel as if you are eating more all day long, in reality you are probably not.
Not eating breakfast can also cause you t overeat, since a fall in blood sugar often makes you feel very hungry later. To make matters worse, since your body is in a slow state, it will not be able to burn those extra calories very efficiently (有效). If you feed your body healthy snacks and meals throughout the day, you are less likely to become hungry and stuff (填饱) yourself as soon as you begin to eat.
Since breakfast is the first and most important meal of the day, choosing the right food is important. The best breakfast foods are fruits ,juice, lean meat and grain products such as bread, rice, noodles and cereals.
小题1:. What is the meaning of the word “fast” in the phrase“break the fast”? 
A.movement B.going without food C.quicknessD.certain kind of food
小题2:. If you don’t want to have breakfast in the morning, according to the writer’s suggestion, you should________.
A.see a doctor to have an examinationB.have a little supper
C.go to a restaurant to enjoy a good mealD.have a good supper
小题3:. Eating breakfast, in fact, makes your body_________.
A.work out of orderB.produce too much energy
C.work wellD.feel hungry quicker
小题4: Not eating breakfast will_________.
A.save a lot of moneyB.do harm to your health
C.do good to your healthD.help you keep in shape
小题5: In the last paragraph the writer mainly_________.
A. persuades us to have a good breakfast    
B. tell us what food isn’t suitable for breakfast
C describes when and how we should have our breakfast
D .tell us what food we should have for breakfast

This was an unforgettable and wonderful experience.It happened about three years ago and it has had a  21 effect on me.I would like to show respect here for the two men I do not know  22  but whose actions gave a new  23 to the words — kind and generous.

A BMW car  26 on the other side of the street and an executive(主管)who was perfectly dressed stepped out of the car.He was probably about  27 years old.He was wearing a blue business suit with a deep red silk tie.He walked  28 across the street and over to the homeless man.Without saying anything, he first gave him a lot of  29 and then he sat down and took off his leather gloves( 手套), beautiful black leather shoes and his black dress socks.Then he   30 them to the homeless man.The homeless man took them and stared with a/an  31 mouth.

Today I was at the mall waiting for friends, when a lady wearing a knit hat and a sweater came up to me and, shivering, said, “I’m homeless. Would you mind buying me some food?”
In that split second, everything I’d learned since kindergarten flashed through my mind. Don’t talk to strangers… Be a good citizen… People will take advantage of you… Treat others as you wish to be treated…I guess love won the debate. “Sure,” I said. “What would you like?”
She thought and then said, “I’d like to get Chinese food.” We headed upstairs. She ordered soup, an egg roll, white rice, and pepper chicken. I would normally think that was a lot, but she had probably barely eaten in the last few days. I got my usual – lo mein and General Tso’s chicken.
Meanwhile I was eating my lo mein, picking around the cabbage and the other vegetables. Joyce said, “If you don’t like it you can take it back.” I told her that I liked it, but was not fond of the vegetables. She broke into a big grin. “You don’t like vegetables, huh? Neither did I. But now I do.” I immediately felt guilty. How could I be picking at my food across from someone who barely gets to eat at all?
I tried my best to finish, but she seemed to sense my guilt and said, “You don’t have to eat it if you don’t want it.” How could she know what I was feeling? I told her the dish was my favorite, but I just eat slowly.
She got up to get a to-go box. “Would you like one?” she asked, but I refused. I realized that this food would probably last her for a few days, and I was glad she had ordered a lot.
“Would you like these?” I asked, gesturing at the food I had left untouched. “Oh, no, thank you,” she said. “This is enough.” I got up to throw my tray away, feeling guilty again.
“I need to meet my friends now,” I explained. “It was so nice to meet you, Joyce.”
“You too, Claire,” she replied with a smile. “Thank you.”
I headed to the theater, and she went back downstairs. I kept puzzling, Why is Joyce homeless?  She shouldn’t need people to buy her dinner. She was a nurse. She got good grades. She took pictures for her yearbook. She was the person I hope to be in the future. How could such a good life be rewarded with horrible luck?
Anyway, I wish her the best, and hope that the force that brought us together will help her find what she deserves in life.
