Like most July days, it was hot. I stepped into a tiny icecream shop to 1 with a chocolate ice-cream. It was an oldtime store with little round tables and chairs.
As I entered, I found a very old woman 2 a table near the door. Her back was so badly twisted (扭弯) by some sadness that her face nearly 3 the tabletop. I sat down facing her two 4 away.
“Poor woman ,” I thought , “what does she 5 life? Why does God let people live so 6 past their top?”
As I thought another 7 lady entered the shop and sat down with her. Soon the two of them were talking about childhood days. They talked of how 8 the shop had changed in 70 years…. In minutes the two women were 9 with laughter.
I looked again at the first woman, then in the mirror on a nearby wall, watching the 10 of myself. I was wearing a dirty shirt.
She was 11 dressed in white, 12 gold ear-rings.
I was in 13 spirits. She was laughing.
I was putting the 14 of my life together. She had millions of wonderful memories to recall.
I sat 15 . She was sharing the day with a good friend.
I was 16 worried about getting old. She was old, and it wasn't 17 her.
As I left the shop, I thought of my 18 question about God letting people live past their top. Why that woman was more alive, more sensitive (敏感的) to life than I was?
Age had not 19 her spirit. But I'm always filling my mind with something 20 .

For a small town, Manhattan ,Kansas has some big surprises, And one of them is the Holiday Inn Hotel, with rooms built around a swimming pool and a friendly family atmosphere.
The Holiday Inn is where Manhattan people often go for a special party or a night out. A lot of them choose to eat in the brightly-lit restaurant near the pool. And many of them will be served by Ellen Logan, who has worked as a waitress here for more than two years.
Ellen, like most of the waitresses is also a student. She comes from Nebraska, but she's planning one day to be a veterinary surgeon, and to care for small animals. But in order to support herself at college, she works twenty hours a week at the Holiday Inn.
Ellen soon learns what every waitress finds out. You had better have a good pair of shoes. She paid forty-five dollars for hers, much more than she would usually spend. She's discovered something else, too. You don't have to know much about food be a good waitress, but you do have to know a lot about people.
“A lot of business people always stay here when they come to Manhattan,” she explains. “They like you to recognize them and remember their favorite dishes. But some couples come for a night out together. They just want to be left alone. Then there are people who can't make up their minds. They look down at the menu and say ‘What do you suggest! So I ask them how hungry they are. If they say‘ Not very,’ I suggest the salad bar with soup, salad, bread, and a fruit plate. But if they say they're very hungry, I suggest a Kansas Strip Steak, with potatoes or rice. You get salad and bread as well. It's very nice. Real good value.”
Ellen may get tired feet sometimes, but at least she's learning too much about people. She'll probably make a good animal doctor, but if she finds she doesn't like it after all, she can always become a psychiatrist (心理医生) instead.
(1)A good title for this passage is ________.
[ ]

(2)The underlined phrase“ a veterinary surgeon” means ________.

(3)From the passage we can infer that ________.

B. waitresses are required to buy a good pair of shoes before they go to work
C. waitresses should be familiar with the food there
D. it is more important for the waitresses to know much about people than food
