My wife and I were at a crowded grocery store not long ago. It was a weekday evening, cold and wet-and tense. People were carelessly blocking aisles, complaining and cutting one another off with their carts.
Things got worse at the checkout line. The cashier scanned a man’s discount card, but he misread the savings on her screen as an additional charge. He decided she was acting deliberately and began to argue.
“She is being spiteful (恶意的) !” he yelled. “This is unbelievable.”
Other customers looked away as the cashier tried to reason with him. She called a manager, who accompanied him to customer service. Shaken, she moved to the next customer in line.
We’ve all witnessed uncomfortable scenes like this in public places. The grocery scene was another example of how our trust in others has eroded. But it was also a teachable moment on how we can rebuild our faith-starting with just one person.
Back at the grocery store, my wife and I reached our uneasy cashier. I grabbed a bottle of water from a nearby cooler and handed it to her. “We felt bad about how that man treated you and wanted to buy this for you.” I said. Her face lit up, and we talked as she scanned our items. She told us she had been working that evening through severe foot pain and would be having surgery later that week. We wished her well in her recovery, and she thanked us as we left.
Those are the balancing acts, the moments of responding social and emotional pain with healing, which will add up to restore trust among people. You can start that pattern in someone else’s life, even in a place as ordinary as the neighborhood grocery store.
1.Why did the man at the checkout line argue with the cashier?
A.The cashier called a manager to help her.
B.Someone jumped the queue waiting to check out.
C.There was something wrong with his discount card.
D.He believed the cashier charged him more on purpose.
2.The underlined word “eroded” in Paragraph 5 probably means ________.
A.changed B.increased
C.faded D.formed
3.The author bought a bottle of water for the cashier because ________.
A.he thought the cashier might feel a little bit thirsty
B.he knew she had gone through much trouble recently
C.he wanted to restore the trust between her and the man
D.he wanted to comfort her after the terrible experience just now
4.The last paragraph in the passage is intended to ________.
A.add a warning B.make a suggestion
C.introduce a topic D.present an argument

The other day when I was passing a clothing store, I fell in love with a skirt. I knew it would suit me best at first sight. But when I looked at the price tag (标签), I knew I had to give it up.
The love for beautiful clothes has been planted in my heart the day when I was born to be a woman. Several years ago I read an article in a magazine. The article stated that when a woman is at her best time, she is usually poor or tasteless, so she can’t get the right clothes; when she can afford to buy the clothes she likes, she often finds that they do not suit her anymore.
On the way home, I was quite disturbed by such thoughts. It was just a pity, like many other pities. I thought to myself this way. But when I was about to enter the building where I was living, I saw the big mirror placed in the entrance. I saw a girl in it who was in cheap but cleanly washed sweater and jeans. She was rather young, healthy and energetic. For quite a while I was touched by what I had seen in the mirror.
Then I almost forgot the tale: A person without shoes cried until he saw a man without feet. Being young without good clothes is like the person without shoes. I should have felt grateful that I haven’t lost my feet.
1.How did the author feel when she decided not to buy the skirt?
A. Embarrassed. B. Wise.
C. Regretful. D. Relieved.
2.The underlined word “She” in Paragraph 3 refers to .
A. the author’s friend B. a stranger
C. the author’s roommate D. the author
3.Why was the author touched by what she saw in the mirror?
A. She came to realize what she really possessed.
B. She was reminded of her devotion to beauty.
C. She didn’t feel at ease when looking into a mirror.
D. She never thought over the other side of a person.
4.We can learn from the text that the author considered her love for beautiful clothes as .
A. funny B. natural C. silly D. Simple
