When my family moved to America from a small village in Guangdong, China, we brought not only our luggage, but also our village rules, customs and culture. One of the rules is that young people should always respect elders. Unluckily, this rule led to my very first embarrassment in the United States.

I had a part-time job as a waiter in a Chinese restaurant. One time, when I was serving food to a middle-aged couple, the wife asked me how the food could be served so quickly. I told her that I had made sure they got their food quickly because I always respect the elderly. As soon as I said that, her face showed great displeasure. My manager, who happened to hear what I said, took me aside and gave me a long lecture about how sensitive(敏感) Americans are and how they dislike the description “old”. I then walked back to the table and apologized to the wife. After the couple heard my reason, they understood that the problem was caused by cultural differences, so they laughed and were no longer angry.

In my village in China, people are proud of being old. Not so many people live to be seventy or eighty, and people who reach such an age have the most knowledge and experience. Young people always respect older people because they know they can learn from their rich experience.

However, in the United States, people think “growing old” is a problem since “old” shows that a person is going to retire or that the body is not working well. Here many people try to keep themselves away from growing old by doing exercises or jogging, and women put on makeup, hoping to look young. When I told the couple in the restaurant that I respect the elderly, they got angry because this caused them to feel they had failed to stay young. I had told them something they didn’t want to hear.

After that, I changed the way I had been with older people. It is not that I don’t respect them any more; I still respect them, but now I don’t show my feelings through words.

1.Jack brought the couple their food very fast because[_______________.

A.the manager asked him to do so B.he respected the elderly

C.the couple wanted him to do so D.he wanted more pay

2.When Jack called the couple “elderly”, they became[____________.

A.nervousB.satisfied

C.unhappyD.excited

3.In Jack’s hometown,______________.

A.people dislike being called “old”

B.people are proud of being old

C.many people reach the age of seventy or eighty

D.the elderly are the first to get food in restaurants

4.After this experience, Jack___________.

A.lost his job in the restaurant

B.made friends with the couple

C.no longer respected the elderly

D.changed his way with older people

5.Which of the following is TRUE?

A.The more Jack explained, the angrier the couple got.

B.Jack wanted to show his feelings through words after his experience.

C.The manager went back to the table and apologized to the couple.

D.From this experience, Jack learned more about American culture.

I never thought I would have a life-changing experience at Wal-Mart.

Although my thoughts were only on speed, the checkout line I was standing in wasn't moving as quickly as I wanted, and I glanced toward the cashier.

There stood a man in his seventies, wearing glasses and a nice smile. I thought, well, he's an old guy!

For the next few minutes I watched him. He greeted every customer before scanning the items. Sure, his words were the usual, “How's it going?” But he did something different—he actually listened to people. Then he would respond to what they had said and engage them in brief conversation.

I thought it was odd. I have grown accustomed to people asking me how I was doing simply out of robotic conversational habit. After a while, you don't give any thought to the question and just mumble something back. I could say, “I just found out I have six months to live,” and someone would reply, “Have a great day!”

But that wasn't the end.

He gave them the change, walked around the counter, and extended his right hand in an act of friendship. He looked at the customers in the eyes. “I sure want to thank you for shopping here today,” he told them. “You have a great day. Bye-bye.”

The looks on the faces of the customers were priceless. There were smiles and some sheepish grins. All had been touched by his simple gesture---and in a place they never expected. They would gather their things and walk out, smiling.

Of course, he did the same to me and I got to know his name, Marty.

Who was that guy? It was as if Sam Walton had come back from the dead and invaded this old guy’s body.

I had never walked away from that shop feeling like that.

1.The checkout line the writer was standing in moved slower than expected because_______ .

A.the cashier couldn’t work as fast as others

B.there were some big purchases

C.the cashier did more than scanning the items

D.the writer was not patient enough

2.According to the writer, when common people ask you “How’s it going?”

A.they don’t really care what you may answer

B.they are just practicing their conversation ability

C.they are inquiring about your private information

D.they don’t expect to hear any negative answers

3.What was most customers’ reaction to Marty’s behaviors?

A.They thought it priceless. B.They were in some way moved.

C.They thought it awful and odd. D.They felt somewhat offended.

4.What can we infer about Sam Walton?

A.He might be Marty’s father or grandfather.

B.He might be friendly and devoted to Wal-Mart.

C.He might have died while working in the market.

D.He might have come back from the dead once before.

5.What does the writer intend to express through the text?

A.Our everyday life is always full of surprises.

B.Most customers enjoy being treated this way.

C.Being different is a good way of doing business.

D.A little positive action can make a big difference.

根据对话内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。

Telling the truth is a good habit. 1. Here is a story of a man who did a lot of bad things, but his promise to tell the truth saved him.

Once a man came to the prophet(预言家) Muhammad and said,“ I have many bad habits. 2. ” The prophet said, “Give up telling lies first and always speak the truth.” The man promised to do so and went home.

3. Before setting out, he thought for a moment about the promise he made with the prophet. “If tomorrow the prophet asks me where I have been, what shall I say? If I tell the truth, I would be punished for stealing.” So the man decided not to steal that night, and gave up this bad habit.

The next day, he felt like drinking wine. 4. He said to himself, “I cannot tell the prophet that I drank some wine. And if I speak the truth, people will hate me, because a Muslim is not allowed to drink wine.” So he gave up the idea of drinking wine.

In this way, whenever the man thought of doing something bad, he remembered his promise to tell the truth at all time. 5. So if you always speak the truth, you can be a good person.

A. You will make more friends in this way.

B. One by one, he gave up all his bad habits.

C. Which one of them should I give up first?

D. At night he was about to go out to steal.

E. Is there any good way to give up my bad habits?

F. When he was about to do so, he thought of his promise again.

G. If you always speak the truth, you can save yourself from a lot of trouble!
