A

My friend Robert started a new job this week and he’s been in the training class for two days. The employer has a very strict dress code—dark blue shirts and pants.

On the first day, an older gentleman in his class did not have the proper clothes and he was strictly told that he would be fired if he didn’t have the right clothes the next day. He explained, “Sir, I had not been told about this. Because of my larger size, it’s sometimes difficult to find the right clothing for a price I can afford.”

Last night, Robert and I decided that this old man shouldn’t lose the chance of work simply because he couldn’t afford the clothes. I had some cash on hand and Robert took it with him this morning just in case it was needed.

When training started this morning, the trainer was ready to fire the older gentleman. “You have 10 minutes to be in proper clothes,” he was told. At this point, Robert spoke up and asked if he could have 10 minutes to get him the clothes. He then ran out to the store and bought the proper-sized pants and a shirt; he returned with both and gave them to the older man.

The older gentleman began to cry and told him that he couldn’t accept such a gift from a stranger. Robert told him he had to because he had lost the receipt(收据) and couldn’t return them—a little white lie. The pants were a perfect fit, the shirt was a bit tight but he was able to keep his job.

“My wife and I tried to gather together some money last night, but we didn’t have enough to buy the clothes,” he told Robert. “It’s unbelievable to me that anybody would do such a thing for only knowing me a day!”

More unbelievable is how good it has made Robert and me feel to do this.

1.If the older man did not have the proper clothes, he would _____

A．be punished	B．be offered another job
C．put off the training class	D．lose his job

2. The money which was paid for the clothes belonged to _____

A．the trainer	B．the older man
C．the writer	D．Robert

3.How did Robert persuade the older man to accept the clothes?

A．He told the older man that he would lose his job if he did not take them.

B．He told a lie that the clothes didn’t fit himself.

C．He told the older man that he could save money and return it later.

D．He told the older man that he had no way to send them back.

4.What might be the best title for the passage?

A．Proper clothes for a stranger	B．Fight against strict rules
C．A strange employer	D．An unbelievable thing

“Long time no see” is a very interesting sentence. When I first read this sentence from an American friend’s email, I laughed. I thought it was a perfect 21       of Chinglish. Obviously, it is a word-by-word literal(照字面意思的) translation of the Chinese greeting with a ruined English grammar and structure! Later on, my friend told me that it is a standard American 22         . I was too amazed to believe her. Her words could not convince me 23          . So I did a search on www.google.com. To my surprise, there are over 60 thousand web pages 24        “long time no see”. This sentence has been 25          used in emails, letters, newspapers, movies, books, or any other possible place. Though it is sort of informal, it is part of the language that Americans use daily.  26         , if you type this phrase in Microsoft Word, the software will tell you that the grammar needs to be corrected.

　　Nobody knows the 27         of this Chinglish sentence. Some people believe that it came from Charlie Chan’s movies.

Detective Chan liked to teach Americans some Chinese wisdom by quoting(引用) Confucius(孔子). “Long time no see” was his trademark. Soon after Charlie Chan, “Long time no see” became a popular phrase in the real world thanks to the popularity of these movies.

Some scholars compare America to a huge pot of stew(大熔炉). All kinds of culture are mixed in the stew together, and they 29          the color and taste of each other. American Chinese, though a minority ethnic(少数民族的) group in the United States, is also influenced some changes to the stew! Language is usually the first thing to be 30          in the mixed stew.
