One Saturday afternoon, I went to a fast food restaurant to have some food with my kids. As we were walking into the restaurant, I noticed a woman smoking a cigarette outside. While we were waiting in line, with about ten other people, we saw the woman rush back into the store to help the busy staff.

A customer standing next to us started yelling at the employee who had begun filling brown paper bags with fries, burgers, and nuggets, “I saw you,” she said. “I saw you out there smoking; then you came in straight and touched our food! It’s disgusting! Why would you do that?” The woman wouldn’t stop. Everyone was staring. The employee was getting teary. It looked as if she just wanted to find a place to hide. The manager came over and told her to wash her hands and leave the floor for a while. He then apologized to the customer.

“That’s disgusting,” my oldest son whispered to me, “But I do feel bad for her.” I was glad he followed it up with that last sentence. His comment showed me that he’d probably never treat someone the way that customer had treated that employee.

You are allowed to be angry at others’ improper behavior and tell them how you feel. However, you don’t need some audience or witnesses when you are making negative comments on others. Doing that in public doesn’t strengthen your point.

I’m willing to bet that the woman being criticized was so shamed that she wasn’t able to hear the message that was being forced down her throat. However, had the customer taken her aside, and said in a quiet voice, “I noticed you didn’t wash your hands after your smoke break; can you please go to do that now?” The employee would have had the opportunity to do just that. The message the customer wanted to convey would have gotten to that employee more effectively, and her entire day would not have been ruined.

1.Why was the customer so angry?

A.The employee smoked in front of her.

B.She was yelled at by people around her.

C.She had to wait in a long line for her food.

D.The employee touched food without washing hands.

2.How did the employee respond after hearing the customer’s words?

A.She felt confused and annoyed.

B.She turned to her manager for help.

C.She was very sad and embarrassed.

D.She dealt with the problem calmly.

3.The comments of the author’s oldest son indicated that he 　　　　 .

A.had sympathy for the employee

B.supported the customer’s behavior

C.cared little about the employee’s action

D.had experienced the situation many times

4.What does the author mainly want to convey?

A.We should treat every person equally.

B.We should always mind our behavior.

C.We should admit our mistakes bravely.

D.We should avoid criticizing someone in public.

5 books I loved in 2018

By Bill Gates

A great read is the perfect gift and I think everyone could use a few more books in their lives. My book list covers various topics, including an autobiography on learning throughout a life, a deep search on autonomous weapons (武器), a thriller about the fall of a once-promising company and a guide about meditation (冥想)—there’s something for everyone.

The Headspace Guide to Meditation and Mindfulness, by Andy Puddicombe. The book starts with Puddicombe’s personal journey from a university student to a Buddhist monk and then becomes an entertaining explainer on how to meditate. If you’re thinking about trying mindfulness, this is the perfect introduction.

Army of None, by Paul Scharre. It’s an extremely complicated topic, but Scharre offers clear explanations and presents both the advantages and disadvantages of machine-driven warfare. His fluency with the subject should come as no surprise: he’s an ex-soldier who helped draw up the U.S. government’s policy on autonomous weapons.

Bad Blood, by John Carreyrou.Carreyrou gives you the definitive insider’s look at the rise and fall of a company. I found myself unable to put it down once I started. This book has everything: magazine cover stories, ruined family relationships, and the failure of a company once valued at nearly $10 billion.

21 Lessons for the 21st Century, by Yuval Noah Harari. I’m a big fan of everything Harari has written, and his latest is no exception. If 2018 has left you stressed out by the state of the world, 21 Lessons offers a helpful framework for processing the news and thinking about the challenges we face.

Educated, by Tara Westover. Tara never went to school or visited a doctor until she left home at 17. I loved this life story of a young woman whose thirst for learning was so strong that she ended up getting a Ph.D. from Cambridge University.

1.According to Bill Gates, the book list is _____.

A.time-consuming B.life-changing

C.wide-ranging D.easy-reading

2.Paul Scharre is able to clearly explain machine-driven warfare issues because _____.

A.he used to serve in the army

B.he has outstanding writing skills

C.he is good at making autonomous weapons

D.he was a policy-maker in the U.S. government

3.Which book would most interest home-schooled children?

A.Educated

B.Bad Blood

C.21 Lessons for the 21st Century

D.The Headspace Guide to Meditation and Mindfulness

When a customer came into a Mexican restaurant in Georgia with an unusual request, a selfless waiter didn’t hesitate(犹豫) to help him out.

A disabled man with no hands who ordered a meal at Cinco cle Mayo Mexican Grill in Douglasville on Sunday afternoon hoped someone might be able to help him eat his lunch.

Server Alex Ruiz, 22, was more than happy to help as he sat opposite from the man and helped him enjoy his meal.

The heartwarming moment was captured in a photo by one of Ruiz’s workmates, Crystal Figueroa. She posted it on the restaurant’s Facebook page.

“He’s a great person,” Figuero, 24, whose father manages the restaurant, said.

“He’s always so nice, and the fact that he just came out of nowhere and helped a man he doesn’t even know have a meal says everything. That just shows the person that he is.

One of Figueroa’s friends, Reginald Widener, also witnessed the moment and posted the photo on his Facebook page.

“This seriously hit me right in the soul,” Widener wrote.

The waiters did not get the name of the man. He had never eaten in the restaurant before, according to Figueroa. But Ruiz jumped at the chance to help.

“I just feel like people should see that there’re still good people out there,” Figueroa said. “It was just a happy moment.”

1.Why did Alex Ruiz help the man eat his lunch?

A. The man was rich.

B. The man had no hands.

C. They knew each other.

D. He is Alex Ruiz’s father.

2.How many people posted the photo on the Internet?

A. Two.                B. One.                C. No one.                D. Many.

3.What’s the relationship between Alex and Figueroa?

A. They are friends.

B. They are family.

C. Figueroa is Alex’s boss.

D. They are workmates.

4.What kind of person is Alex?

A. He hopes people to find something good in life.

B. He likes working on Sundays.

C. He is ready to help others.

D. He likes to post photos onto Facebook.
