To support his sick wife and earn a paycheck, a 61-year-old Iowa man named Steve Simon sometimes walks 35 miles to his job as an overnight gatekeeper. Simon said that he leaves his basement apartment in a small town at about 3:30 p.m. to get to the Lakesside hotel and Casino in Osceola where he begins to work at 11:00 p.m. for $9.07 per hour. His wife suffered a stoke nine years ago and some days there just isn’t enough money to put gas in the couple’s 2002 car. Moving closer to his job would likely mean paying more than he now does in monthly rent—$400.
Family and a job are “the two most important things I can think of,” Simon said, explaining why he walks to his job. He and his wife, Renee, adopted their now 22-year-grandson, Steven, who has been unemployed since January.
Although some people along the route do stop to offer him a lift, they often drop him off about 8 miles from home. But Simon doesn’t seem to mind. He describes the walking route as “picturesque（风景如画的）” and sounds like he enjoy passing the cows and fields along the way. He’s done the walk in all kinds of weather, including snow. It’s a little dangerous because trucks frequent Interstate highway 35, whizzing （飞驰） past him at 70 miles per hour.
Simon story has a familiar ring. Last month there were storied written about a Detroit man named James Robertson who for years has been walking 21 miles roundtrip through city streets to and from his factory job. The media attention got Robertson $350,000 from a GoFundMe campaign and a new car. We wonder what the Internet holds for Simon.
1.Simon walks 35 miles to his job mainly ________.
A. to attract others’ attention
B. to keep healthy and strong
C. to accompany his sick wife
D. to save money for his family
2.What do we know about Simon’s walking route?
A. It is pretty boring.
B. There are high buildings.
C. It is full of fun and danger.
D. There are only a few regulars.
3.James Robertson is mentioned because ________.
A. his story inspired Simon
B. he donated money to Simon
C. he is quite familiar with Simon
D. his experience is similar to Simon’s

The old man walked with a cane（拐杖）slowly into the restaurant. His poor jacket
patched（打补丁）trousers and worn-out shoes made him stand out from the usual Saturday morning breakfast crowd. Unforgettable were his pale blue eyes that sparkled like diamonds，large rosy cheeks，and thin lips held in a steady smile.
He walked towards a table by the window. A young waitress watched him and ran over to him， saying，“Here, Sir. Let me give you a hand with that chair”
Without a word，he smiled and nodded a thank you. She pulled the chair away from the table. Steadying him with one arm， she helped him move in front of the chair， and get comfortably seated. Then she pushed the table up close to him，and learned his cane against the table where he could reach it.
In a soft，clear voice he said, “Thank you, Miss”
“You are welcome, Sir.” she replied，“My name is Mary. I’ll be back in a moment. If you need anything, just wave at me.”
After he had finished a hearty meal of pancakes，bacon，and hot lemon tea，Mary brought him the change, helping him up from his chair and out from behind the table. She handed him his cane， and walked with him to the front door. Holding the door open for him, she said, “Come back and see us, Sir.”
He nodded a thank you and said softly with a smile, “You are very kind！”
When Mary went to clean his table，she was shocked. Under his plate she found a business card and a note written on the napkin, under which was a 100$ bill.
