Twenty years ago my company sent me back to school for further education. So I went back to school three years after graduating from college.

I was a little bit nervous, so I tried to prepare myself the best I could. I bought all my textbooks before the classes started. Then I went to the school the week before and found exactly where my classroom was. I packed my bag full of books and left early on the morning of the class to be sure that I got there on time.

We all crowded into the classroom and the professor introduced himself to the class. He wrote his contact information on the blackboard and told us to write it down. I was just opening up my bag to get out a notebook when I realized that I didn’t have one. I searched through my bag for a piece of paper, but I had none.

I asked the student seated at the desk next to me, “Excuse me, could I borrow a piece of paper, please?” He looked at me a little strangely, but gave me several pieces.

I was so embarrassed. Here I was on my first day of class and I had not even brought any paper with me. I opened my bag again to get out a pen to write down the teacher’s contact information. No pen. I got the attention of the student next to me again. “Excuse me, could I borrow a pen, please?”

1.When did the writer graduate from college?

A. In 1995.　　 B. In 1989.　　 C. In 2006.　　 D. In 2009.

A few years ago, I worked at a church(教堂). Since my son was home schooling, he went with me to the church every day. Most mornings, we’d stop at a local store, and get a chocolate drink for him and a cup of coffee for me.

The clerk(店员) at the store made our lives more enjoyable each day, and so we returned again and again. She had found her own way of enjoying life and her job. I’m not even sure if she realized that her warmth and brightness put a smile upon the face of each customer(顾客).

When a customer brought cakes to the counter, any other clerk could have asked: “Would you like some milk with those cakes?” Instead, she asked: “Would you like a lottery ticket(彩票) with those cakes?”

She might have asked me if I wanted sugar with my coffee. But instead, she asked: “Would you like some batteries(电池) with that coffee?”

Yes, life is what you make of it. This clerk’s method of dealing with what some think is a boring job, and with the customers she met daily, made the hours in her day more enjoyable. In doing that, she also refreshed the lives of others and made them laugh.

Sometimes, if my day at the church had been very tiring, we’d stop at that store before going home. We’d giggle (咯咯笑) as we left the store, the clerk’s words echoing (回响) behind us.

“Would you like some shampoo (洗发香波) with that orange juice?”

1. When did the writer and her son usually stop at the local store?

A. In the morning.　　 　　 B. At noon.

C. In the afternoon.　　　　 D. In the evening

2. Why did the writer and her son return to the store again and again?

A. Because the drinks were delicious there.

B. Because the food was cheap there.

C. Because they felt happy there.　

D. Because there was only one store.

3.What was the clerk like?

A. She was serious.　　 　B. She was lively.

C. She was nervous.　 　 D. She was silly.

4.The clerk at the store may ask the customers, “_________”

A. Would you like some milk with the cakes?　

B. Would you like some bread with the milk?

C. Would you like batteries with the toys?　

D. Would you like pencils with the cake?
