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.

One rainy evening I went to fill up at the gas station. A pre-teen boy approached my car and asked me for money to help him and his mother stay in their hotel for an additional week. He stated that if they did not come up with $25 they would be evicted that same evening. Having worked in social services before and having doubt about this, I asked why his mother hadn’t applied for social services for assistance. The boy said that they needed to remain in their hotel for one more week until his grandmother, who lived out of town, could take them in. I gave the boy what I had — $5. He thanked me and continued to wander the parking lot asking for help. I got my gas and drove away.

Some weeks ago, a boy asked me for money and I told him I didn’t have any though I did. Yet, I thought about it for a while and went looking for the boy to give him a dollar. But it seemed that he had disappeared into thin air. “This time,” I thought, “I’ll do it differently.” I went to my bank and got an additional $20, then I returned to the gas station. The boy was still there. I observed him shyly approaching strangers who walked past him without notice. I pulled up and waved at the boy to come over. I handed him the $20 bill. He reached through my car window and gave me a huge hug. His hug told me all I needed to know — that finally this kid could get out of the rain, the cold and the darkening skies and go inside where it was warm.

1.The whole story is about _____.

A. dirty tricks by poor teenage boys

B. a car accident in a gas station

C.　 warm help in a cold rainy evening

D. loving gifts from a rich stranger

2. The underlined word “evicted” in Paragraph 1 can be replaced by _____?

A. starved to death　　　　 B. driven out of the hotel

C. thrown into prison　　 D. separated from each other

3.From the story we know that the author _____.

A. once worked in social services

B. had came across the boy before

C. borrowed money to help others

D. gave the boy $20 in total

4.When the boy received the $20 bill, he was _____.

A. thankful　　 B. astonished　　 C. doubtful　　 D. ashamed

One cold January evening in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, America, I went with my father on an oil burner service call. My father was in his forties at that time and I was about twelve years old. He was always working hard trying to support us seven kids. I enjoyed hanging out with him whenever I could — he taught me so much.

We arrived at the call and after walking over snow and ice, we knocked on the customer’s door. A senior citizen opened the door and let us into her very cold home. She was wearing an old, worn-out brown coat that went down to her knees. On her head, covering her gray hair, was an old and worn hat. The home wasn’t furnished very well and was quite dark, except for a single light bulb over the dining room table. Below the light was an older man counting change from several old coffee cans. He looked up at us as we passed by to get to the kitchen where my dad would fix the oil burner. He didn’t say anything. He just looked up at us. He couldn’t speak English, nor could his wife. She only pointed to the kitchen and smiled at us.

After a short while, my father had the heater up and running, and it began to heat their cold home. The lady asked my dad in poor English how much she owed him for fixing the heater. My dad looked around the house and said that he had to go out to the truck and write the bill.

Once in the truck he marked the bill “no answer at home, no charge”, so they wouldn’t be charged for his work. He looked over at me and said, “He was counting his change to pay me. They need their money more than I do.”

As usual, my father taught me something important that time, which was to be kind to the poor.

1.According to Paragraph 1, we know that the writer’s father                        .

2.The description in Paragraph 2 shows that the old couple                        .

3.What can we infer from the passage?

4.The writer’s father didn’t charge for his work because                         .
