One Sunday afternoon, I went shopping at Wal-Mart . But I never thought I would have a life ­changing experience at WalMart.

Although my thoughts were only on speed, the checkout line I was standing in wasn’t moving as quickly as I wanted, and I looked towards 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 listened to people carefully and then he would reply to what they had said

I thought it was strange. I has grown used to people asking me how I was doing simply out of conversational habit. 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 (柜台), and hugged them with his right hand in an act of friendship. He looked at the customers in the eyes. “I want to thank you for shopping here today,” he told them. “You have a great day. Bye-bye.”

The smiling looks on the faces of the customers were priceless. 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 (沃尔玛的创始人)had come back from the dead and invaded this old guy’s body.

I had never walked away from that shop feeling like that.

1.The underlined word “customer” mean________ in Chinese.

A. 营业员                　　　　　　　　　 B. 顾客        　　　　　　　　　 C.经理              　　　　　　　　　 　　　　　　　　　 D. 供货商

2.The checkout line the writer was standing in moved slower than expected because _______．

A．there were some big purchases

B．the writer was not patient enough

C． the cashier couldn't work as fast as others

D．the cashier did more than scanning the items

3.According to the writer, when common people ask you “How’s it going？” ________．

A．they don’t really care what you may answer

B．they are just practicing their conversation ability

C．they are asking for your personal information

D．they don’t expect to hear any answers

4.What do you think of the cashier-Marty?

A. clever and imaginative              B. strange and stubborn

C. kind and sincere                    D. practical and creative

5.What does the writer want to express through the text?

A．Our everyday life is always full of surprises.

B．Most customers enjoy being treated this way.

C．Being different is a good way of doing business

D．A little positive (积极的)action can make a big difference.
