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 .

“But what if I break my arm again?” My five-year-old daughter asked. I knew how much she wanted to learn to 41 .Yet ever since she fell off her bicycle and broke her arm, she’d been 42_ .
“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 bra
ve 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 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．quickness | D．certain kind of food |
| A．see a doctor to have an examination | B．have a little supper |
| C．go to a restaurant to enjoy a good meal | D．have a good supper |
| A．work out of order | B．produce too much energy |
| C．work well | D．feel hungry quicker |
| A．save a lot of money | B．do harm to your health |
| C．do good to your health | D．help you keep in shape |

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.
I was walking down a busy street on a cold, windy day in early 24 , A homeless man, probably about 60 and without wearing any shoes , was 25 for change on a street corner.
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.
As he drove off, I couldn’t 32 thinking that it was probably the first time he had 33 the pedal（ 踏板）of that top-brand BMW car with a 34 foot! I stood there and the looks of 35 appeared on my face and the homeless man’s.
Two men of about the same age 36 very different lives had met and the one who was 37 in materials had offer

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 futu
re. 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.
