Frederick Callison has been posting up outside of a Sacramento Smart & Final grocery store for the past two years and his method of looking for help has finally paid off.
Michael Marteen noticed Callison while shopping with his family on Feb. 24. Used to seeing homeless people ask for food and money, Marteen found it refreshing to see someone making an effort to find work in such difficult situations.
When Marteen approached him, he noticed Callison was sitting on a sleeping bag with several resumes(简历)neatly laid out, along with a sign that read“need work and food.”
“When I asked if I could see his resume, he stood right up to hand one to me and then started telling me all about his experience as if it were an interview,”Marteen told TODAY. “I’ve been in situations where I had nothing and had to try extremely hard to get work, and there he was doing that, so I have a lot of respect for him.”
Marteen bought him a bottle of water and some ravioli(馄饨)and then took a picture of his resume to post on Facebook, not knowing if anything would come of it.
Sure enough, someone came across his post and offered Callison a job as a cook at a downtown restaurant called Pizza Rocks.
“He was excited about landing a job and very grateful for the opportunity,” Marteen said. “He was up the night before studying the menu for hours.”
The restaurant gave him clothes to wear and a friend is providing Callison with a place to stay until he can get back on his feet.
“It’s easy to look at someone and not see anything but a homeless man, but after talking to him I realized he’s so much more than that,” Marteen said. “He’s a well spoken, cool and friendly guy who knows what he wants and is going after it.”
1.What is the passage mainly about?

高一英语单项填空简单题查看答案及解析
Before Alaska became part of the U.S., it had been owned by Russia. Trading posts and small settlements were scattered along the coast. The rest of land was left unexplored. The Russians were mainly interested in the wealth of furs from the vast herds of seals they found there.
By the mid-1800’s, most of the seal herds had been wiped out, and Russia no longer wanted to keep Alaska. William Seward, Secretary of State for President Johnson, believed the United States should buy Alaska from Russia. President Johnson wasn’t so sure it was a wise way to spend U.S. money, but he agreed to let Seward discuss it with the Russians. Acting quickly, Seward made a deal. On March 30, 1867, he signed an agreement for the U.S. to pay seven million dollars for the land.
Many people thought it was a foolish waste of America’s money. They called the deal “Seward’s folly”. Then gold was discovered in Alaska and public opinion changed quickly.
Seward did not live to see the true value of Alaska. He died in 1872, five years after making the purchase (购买). Each year, Alaska’s natural resources(资源) have brought in many times the $7,000,000 paid for it. Natural gas, coal, oil, lumber, seafood and other minerals, besides the gold first found, have made it a valuable addition to the United States. In 1959, Alaska be-came the 49th state of the United States.
1.The Russians wanted to sell Alaska because ______.
A. they thought it wasn’t a good place
B. they thought it didn’t belong to Russia
C. they couldn’t find enough seals there
D. they wanted to earn more money from the U.S.
2.When Seward signed the agreement, many people thought ______.
A. it was a successful deal B. it had its true value
C. he wasted U.S. money D. he was clever
3.Which of the following things was found first in Alaska?
A. Gas. B. Coal. C. Oil. D. Gold.
4.The best title for this passage would probably be ______.
A. Alaska, a beautiful place B. Alaska with natural resources
C. Alaska, the 49th state of the U.S. D. Alaska, home to seals
