Last Sunday, I was sitting in a French restaurant enjoying a meal when I got on a phone call from a friend I hadn’t spoken to in a long time. In my enthusiasm and excitement, I talked quite louder than usual voice and in Spanish, my mother tongue.

A few minutes into the call, an old lady sitting at the table beside mine got up, seemingly offended, and asked the restaurant staff to relocate (重新安排) a table as far away as possible from this man who seemed to be impolite.

I sank in my seat out of embarrassment. I ended the call soon afterwards and felt the urge to apologize. Before getting up, I looked around to see where she was and she was at the table farthest away from me. I noticed that the lady was alone and staring out of the window. I found a tinge (气息) of sadness or anxiety and perhaps a desire for aloneness and peace. But I had obviously destroyed it minutes earlier.

Right then I abandoned my plan for a conventional apologetic gesture. Seeing those funny smile cards in my wallet, I took one out and wrote some words to express my apology. On signing my restaurant bill, I asked a waiter to secretly charge the lady’s meal to me and hand her the smile card instead of her bill.

Did she take it the wrong way, I wondered? Did she get confused? Did she refuse the anonymous (匿名的) offer? And so on. I just waited and felt nervous to learn the outcome. To my pleasant surprise, things turned out the best possible way.

The waiter approached me in a joy, telling me, “In the many times she had dined here before, I had never seen the old lady smile as she did when receiving the smile card and the $ 0 bill. She thanked me even though I explained that someone else did the job.”

1.The old lady changed her seat mainly because of _________.

A. the author’s loud voice

B. her private phone call

C. the views out of the window

D. the restaurant staff’s mistake

2.What can we infer from Paragraph 3?

A. The lady didn’t have a nice mood and liked to stay alone.

B. The author went up to the old lady and apologized to her.

C. The old lady just moved to the farthest table to see outside.

D. The author didn’t stop talking though he felt embarrassed.

3.Which of the following is the best title of this passage?

A. An Old Lady Who Never Smiles

B. A Smile Card for a Sincere Apology

C. An Unpleasant Experience in France

D. A Misunderstanding Caused by Different Cultures

Nine years ago, a few days before Christmas, I was a director at a company in San Francisco, and I was called into a meeting that was already in progress. That meeting turned out to be my exit interview. I was 64 years old at the time. It wasn’t completely unexpected. I signed a pile of papers and left the company.

So, 40 plus years of employment was over. I had a good reputation and background. Retirement was not a choice for me. I wanted to do something. And then an idea came into my mind, born from my concern for our environment. I wanted to build my own business, designing and producing biodegradable(可生物降解的)packaging from waste. This is called clean technology, and it was really meaningful to me. It could help reduce billions of pounds of single-use plastic packaging wasted each year.

Five years later, I’m delighted and proud to share with you that our income has doubled every year and we have no debt. Meanwhile, I have a wonderful partner, and we’ve won more than 20 awards for the work that we’ve done.

And I am doing the most rewarding and meaningful work of my life right now. But what I really long for is to find other first-time entrepreneurs(企业家)who are my age. I want to connect with them.

So I want to do something about that in a few years. I want us to start talking more about people who don’t become entrepreneurs until they are seniors. And then connecting all of them across industries, regions and countries—building a community.

1.What happened to the author nine years ago?

A. He retired from his former company. B. He failed an interview.

C. He had a good family background. D. He changed his job to a better one.

2.Why was the new business meaningful to the author?

A. It was beneficial to the environment.

B. It developed a clean technology.

C. It provided jobs for lots of people.

D. It brought in quite a lot of money.

3.What is the author’s attitude to the development of his own company?

A. Cautious. B. Disappointed. C. Ambiguous. D. Positive.

4.What does the author plan to do in the future?

A. To do something else about environment.

B. To help people who want to become successful.

C. To meet more people from different backgrounds.

D. To build a community for senior entrepreneurs.

I was sitting in a fast food restaurant with my two children, who at the time were about 6 and 9. Inside there was also a group of teens in goth（粗野的）dress and appearance. Everyone kept away from them inside the restaurant.

Outside the restaurant, the same people jumped past the homeless man searching the garbage bin, who was looking for food or perhaps a cigarette. I too had rushed past him with my youngsters, refusing his request for money but thinking maybe, just maybe, I would bring him some food. It turns out I didn't have to.

One of the goth youths jumped up, went to the counter and ordered more food, which she then took outside to the homeless man and sat on the bench with him, chatting away as he ate. He didn’t say much — he was greedy — but I think I saw a bit of a smile and a glint in his eyes as he nodded to her questions.

Writing this now, several years later I still choke up. That girl was a model citizen living the values of goodness and kindness. These are values I have always held high and hoped to teach my kids. She made my job much easier. We stopped by on our way out and thanked her for setting such a positive example for us. I hope that hearing that made as much of a difference in her life as seeing what she did has made to ours.

1.Why did people keep away form the teens in the fast food restaurant?

A.Because they were dressed in goth dress and appearance.

B.Because they were too young to pay their meal.

C.Because they liked to quarreled with others.

D.Because they killed two children.

2.What did the man want the author to do?

A.Help him get money. B.Bring him some food.

C.Provide him for money. D.Refuse to take care of him.

3.What word can the underlined word “glint” mean in paragraph 3?

A.flash B.gloom

C.surprise D.happiness

4.What can we learn about the author from the passage?

A.The author is also a model citizen like the girl.

B.The author sets a good example for the girl.

C.The author is deeply moved by the girl.

D.The author has sympathy for the girl.
