The “Doorman”
On a trip to California, my family stopped for lunch. As we walked toward the entrance to the restaurant, a man, with a        beard and dirty hair, jumped up from a bench and opened the door for us.Regardless of his       , he greeted us in a friendly way.
Once inside, my daughters whispered, “Mom, he      .” After we ordered our lunch, I explained, telling the kids to look       the dirt.We then watched other customers approach the restaurant but many        him.Seeing this rudeness truly upset me.The day I became a mother, I had resolved to set a good       for my children.Yet sometimes when things didn’t go right, being a good example was      . When our meal arrived, I realized I had left the car-sick pills in the truck.With the windiest trip ahead, the kids needed them, so I        myself from the meal and went to get them.
Just then, the “doorman” was opening the door for a couple.They rushed past him without even acknowledging his       . Letting them in first, I said a loud “thank you” to him as I      
When I returned, we talked a bit.He said he was not allowed inside        he purchased food.I went back and told my family his       .Then I asked our waitress to add one soup and sandwich.The kids looked        as we had already eaten, but when I said the order was for the “doorman” , they smiled.When it was time to        our trip, I noticed the "doorman" enjoying his meal.Upon seeing me, he stood up and thanked me heartily.He then       his hand for a handshake and I gratefully accepted.I suddenly noticed the tears in his eyes—tears of       .What happened next drew great astonishment: I gave the “doorman” a      ! He could hardly say a word, with tears       down his face.
Back in truck, I fell into deep thought.While we can't choose many things in life, we can choose when to show gratitude.I said thanks to a man who had        held open a door for me, and also said thanks for that       to teach my children by example.

When the Farnsworth family moved to their new farm in 1919, eleven-year-old Philo was surprised to find it wired for electricity. This unusual circumstance contributed to his fate — to become an important inventor of the twentieth century.
By thirteen, Farnsworth had become a self-taught electrical engineer. He was able to fix the farm’s generator(发电机)when none of the adults could. In 1922, he read an article about a new idea of John Baird, a Scottish scientist, who had been working with the cathode ray tube (阴极射线管) for the transmission of electronic pictures and wanted to attempt it himself.
Farnsworth studied everything he could find on the subject. Although many older engineers with money backers were already developing television, Farnsworth made a bold decision — he was going to perfect a working model of it before anybody else.
In college, Farnsworth continued his research with cathode ray and vacuum tubes, but the death of his father, the only money maker in the family, forced him to give up this research and find a job. His first job was for George Everson, with whom Farnsworth discussed his dream of television. While acknowledging the achievements of those who came before, Farnsworth thought that he could get closer. Everson agreed to risk $6,000 for the research.
Backers came in 1927 to see the first American television, one year after Baird’s. They were astonished to see the image of a single white line resolve itself on the screen before them, and agreed that this new invention was worth putting money into.
In 1930, Farnsworth won a patent (专利权) for his all-electronic TV. By the time he died, he had earned over 300 American and foreign patents for electronic and mechanical devices.
小题1:When Farnsworth was at a young age, he _______
A.had to drop out of school to help on the family farm
B.was sent to school to study electrical engineering
C.wanted to be the first person to invent the television
D.had shown a surprising ability in the electrical field
小题2:What difficulty did Farnsworth meet when he first began his research on the television?
A.His parents didn’t support his work.
B.He didn’t have enough knowledge in this field.
C.He didn’t have enough money for his research.
D.No one was interested in this research.
小题3:How old was Philo Farnsworth when he invented the first American television?
A.11. B.13.C.19.D.22.
小题4:From the passage, we can learn that Farnsworth is ______.
A.the first person who worked for the transmission of electronic pictures
B.an inventor who improved on somebody else’s idea
C.an inventor who always came up with an original idea
D.a person who earned over 300 American patents for electronic devices

I only had one, and now I have to        until I get to heaven before I can hug her again. I have tried to        that man a thousand times, and I thought I had. Maybe I really did forgive him. So pray for me, and be        when you drive again. My son is all I have been left with.”
The man was completely        and could not move for the next few minutes. When finally he did, he drove       , even a few miles        the speed limit, praying for forgiveness.

During the next several weeks I went completely to the wolves. I took a tiny tent and set it up on the shore of bay. The big telescope was set up in the mouth of the tent in such a way that I could observe the wolves by day or night.
Quite by accident I had pitched (set up) my tent within ten yards of one of the major paths used by the wolves. Shortly after I had taken up residence one of the wolves came back and discovered me and my tent, but he did not stop or hesitate in his pace. Later, one or more wolves used the track past my tent and never did they show the slightest interest in me. I felt uncomfortable at being so totally ignored. The next day I noticed a male wolf make boundary markers by passing water on the rounds of his family lands.
Once I had become aware of the strong feeling of property rights which existed among the wolves, I decided to use this knowledge to make them at least recognize my existence. One evening, after they had gone off for their regular nightly hunt I staked out a property of my own, including a long section of the wolves’ path. In order to ensure that my claim would not be overlooked, I made a property mark on stones, dumps of moss, and patches of vegetation with a lot of tea. Before the hunters came back, task was done, and I retired, somewhat exhausted, to observe results. A few minutes later, the leading male appeared. As usual he did not bother to glance at the tent, but when he reached the point where my property line intersected (cut across) the trail, he stopped as suddenly as if he had run into an invisible wall.
Cautiously, he extended his nose and sniffed at one of my marked bushes. After a minute of hesitation he backed away a few yards and sat down. Then, he looked directly at the tent and at me.
His glare seemed to become more fierce as I attempted to stare him down. The situation was becoming intolerable. To break the impasse I turned my back on the wolf. Then quickly and with an air of decision, he turned his attention away from me and began a systematic tour of the area I had staked out as my own. As he came to each boundary marker he sniffed it once or twice, then carefully placed his mark on the outside of mine.
小题1: Why did the wolves manage to ignore the author’s presence?
A.Because his tent was out of the wolves’ estate boundaries.
B.Because the author and the wolves were already good friends.
C.Because they did not know him at all.
D.Because the wolves were afraid of strangers.
小题2: Which is TRUE according to the passage ?
A.The author likes staring matches esp. with wolves.
B.Staking the land was very easy.
C.Wolves can see the estate boundaries clearly with their eyes.
D.The author managed to know why the wolves ignore his presence.
小题3: What was the author’s discovery?
A.Wolves were not settled beasts, as is almost universally believed.
B.Wolves were settled beasts and the possessors of an estate with definite boundaries.
C.Wolves were not interested with strangers.
D.Wolves’ family was dominated by a female.
小题4:Why did the author stake out an area of his own?
A.Because he thought it better to be stared at than to be ignored.
B.Because he didn’t want the wolves to use the track past his tent.
C.Because he wanted the wolves to take cognizance of his existence.
D.Because he wanted to find out how fierce the wolf’s glare was.
