“No, no, no, dear, I want that wrapped in red paper.” A middle-aged woman came through my line and talked to me as if my IQ were that of a grade school kid. When I first started working, it was simply a way to decrease (减少) the time I spent at home and make my parents happy. I never thought that a year and a half later, I would still be at Marshalls, waiting for this woman to get through my line.
I smiled and said, “Oh, that’s no problem.” She bent over the counter to look at the computer and made sure I was doing my job correctly. Her sweater grazed my hand and she smiled like she meant well. I wanted to roll my eyes but instead I just smiled. Ever since I started working here, I’ve tried not to let people like her get to me. And forget judging a book by its cover, because I have been proved wrong time and time again. The wealthy middle-aged women were far ruder than the teenage boys. At first, I was constantly surprised. Now, I tried not to even guess how the person coming near my line was going to act, because it was never the way I imagine.
I never expected people to be so rude and at the same time nice. But for every rude person I saw, at least five pleasant customers came through my line.
“Here you go,” I handed the woman her receipt and hoped her $5 wine glass was wrapped to her liking. “Have a nice day!” I said. And just as I thought I was fed up, the next customer came through. “She had about one more minute and I was going to tell her to get out of line,” she whispered (小声说) to me with a smile.
1.Why did the writer work at Marshalls?
A. To have more time to go out.
B. To make money for the family.
C. To find a way to be happy.
D. To improve her IQ on doing business.
2.What surprised the writer in her work at first?
A. The rich customers behaved themselves well.
B. The young boys could be both rude and nice.
C. Some rich women customers were more impolite.
D. Wealthy women are pleasant customers.
3.It can be inferred that the middle-aged woman .
A. admired the writer for the good service
B. was a customer easy to deal with
C. had patience to do the shopping
D. cared much about the wrapping of goods
4.What the next customer said implied that .
A. she was angry with the middle-aged woman
B. she couldn’t wait one more minute in line
C. she would drive the middle-aged woman away
D. she might get out of the line for a while

Dear students，
Most of us get some exercise walking or riding our bikes to school，but just that is not enough.Why not get into shape by playing the most popular sport in the world—soccer?
Two weeks ago，Mr Goldstein，the physical education teacher，posted a notice about an exciting new soccer club (for Grades 10－12)．To join，all you have to do is sign your name and be at school for the fun of it on Saturday mornings.You’ll make new friends and share information about famous teams and players.
Mr Goldstein will teach，so you’ll learn basic skills and new techniques to improve your game.That’s good news because soccer is a game you can love three seasons a year.The only time you can’t play is when there is snow.
However，it is hard to believe that only nineteen people signed up for the new club.Maybe kids don’t want to give up their Saturday mornings.But if you think about how we spend Saturday mornings now，soccer looks good.Doing housework and watching TV are not as much fun as playing soccer with friends.If you didn’t sign up because you’ve never played soccer before，don’t worry.Beginners are welcome and Mr Goldstein will give you more help.
Just act now! The equipment is cheap.All you have to bring is your feet.

Dear Editor,
I’m a Senior 1 student in a middle school. This term, my favourite teacher, Miss Mao, no longer teaches us. I want to see her, but I’m afraid that she no longer likes me and I don’t want to trouble her. I really miss her. What should I do?
Tian Yan
Dear Tian Yan,
It’s bad luck that you have lost your favourite teacher. But, if she is still in your school, nothing can stop you going to see her. When she isn’t busy, ask her if she minds having a quick chat. You can then tell her she was your favourite teacher. Everyone is happy to know they are liked!
If she has left the school, it will be more difficult to meet her. It will be hard, but remember people always come and go in our lives. We can’t depend on them being with us all the time.
You may be sad to say goodbye to her, but we can remember and learn from her. Think of her best qualities.
You could also try looking for similar qualities in your other teachers. Study hard and give your new teacher a chance. In time, you might start to see that he or she has different qualities to learn from.
Finally, you can not completely depend on other people getting you through your studies, or even your life.
