A young Scottish lady, like a lot of teens today, got tired of home. The daughter objected to her family’s 　【小题1】　lifestyle and said, “I don’t want your God. I am leaving!” She left home. Before long, she was disappointed and unable to find a job, so she took to the streets to do everything she could to 　【小题2】　. Many years passed by, her father died, her mother grew 　【小题3】　, and the daughter became more and more stubborn in her way of life.
No  【小题4】 was made between mother and daughter during these years. The mother, having 　 heard of her daughter’s whereabouts, went to the poor part of the city in 　【小题5】　of her daughter. She stopped at 　【小题6】　of the rescue missions(收容所) with a simple speech. “Would you allow me to 　【小题7】　this picture?” It was a picture of the smiling, gray-haired mother with a handwritten 　【小题8】　at the bottom: “I love you still … come home!”
One day the daughter wandered into a rescue mission for a hot meal. She sat 　【小题9】　listening to the service, all the while letting her 　【小题10】　wander over to the bulletin board. There she saw the picture and thought, could that be my mother?
She couldn’t 　【小题11】　until the service was over. She stood and went to look. It was her mother, and there were those words, “I love you still … come home!”　【小题12】　she stood in front of the picture, she wept. It was too 　【小题13】　to be true.
It was night, but she was so 　【小题14】　by the message that she started walking home.　【小题15】　the time she arrived it was early in the morning. She was afraid and 　【小题16】　her way timidly. As she knocked, the door 　【小题17】　open on its own. She thought someone must broken into the house. Concerned for her mother’s 　【小题18】　, the young girl ran to the bedroom and shook her mother awake and said, “It’s me! It’s me! I’m home!”
The mother couldn’t believe her eyes. They fell into each other’s 　【小题19】　. The daughter said, “I was so worried and thought someone had broken in.” The mother replied gently, “No, dear. From the day you left, that door has never been 　【小题20】　.”

A fellow speaker from California named Geri flew to Japan, in her favorite jeans and a casual jacket, to give her first speech. Fourteen hours later, four perfectly dressed Japanese gentlemen greeted her at Narita Airport. Smiling and bowing low, they handed her their business cards. With her bag in one hand, Geri took their cards with the other. She thanked them, glanced briefly at the cards, and put them into her jeans pocket quickly.

When the five of them arrived at the hotel, they invited Geri to tea in the lobby (大厅). While sipping tea, the gentlemen presented her with a small gift which she eagerly opened. She was thrilled with the gift and shouted excitedly, “Oh, it’s beautiful!”

At this point, the four Japanese gentlemen stood up and, bowing only very slightly, said “Sayonara” and left immediately. Poor Geri was left astonished. What did she do wrong?

Everything! Her jeans were the first gaffe. Even if you’re coming off a bicycle in Japan, you do not meet c1ients (客人) casually dressed. The second mistake was Geri’s handling of their business cards rudely. In Japan, the business card is one of the most important communicative tools. It is always presented and accepted respectfully with both hands. However, Geri put their cards away much too quickly. In Japan, people use business cards as a conversation starter. You chat about each other’s cards and work and do not put theirs away until they gently and respectfully place yours in safekeeping. Putting it carelessly into her jeans pocket was the ultimate disrespect.

Then, the fourth horror of horrors was that Geri should not have opened the gift in front of her clients. In a land where saving face is critical, it would be embarrassing to discover the gift they gave was not as nice as the one they received. What is worse, Geri hadn’t even given them a gift!

1.In the four Japanese gentlemen’s eyes, Geri took their cards _____________.

A. excitedly                B. embarrassingly               C. politely          D. disrespectfully

A. Because they couldn’t bear Geri’s behavior any longer.

B. Because they had finished the task.

C. Because Geri had something more important to do.

D. Because Geri felt embarrassed.

3.What does the underlined word “gaffe” in Paragraph 3 probably mean?

A. ignorance               B. sadness                            C. mistake          D. carelessness

4.The third mistake Geri made was that she _____________.

A. used her own card as a conversation starter

B. took her clients’ cards with one hand
