man who grew up very poor was traveling across the country，trying to make a new start for himself. along the way he had completely run out of money and was forced to spend the night in his car.this continued until one morning，after a week of sleeping in his car，he walked nervouslyinto a diner and ordered a big breakfast. after eating his first good meal in weeks，he foundhimself lying to the waiter，telling him he had lost his wallet. the waiter，who was also the owner，walked behind the chair where the young man had been sitting.he bent down，and came up with a $20 bill that looked as if it had fallen on the floor. “son，you must have dropped this，” the owner said. the young man couldnt believe his ear! he quickly paid for the breakfast，left a tip，bought gas with the bill，and headed west.on the way out of town，he understood. “maybe nobody dropped the money at all. maybethat owner just knew i was in trouble and he helped me in a way that didnt embarrass(使困窘) me. id been praying for a few days before that，and right then i just made an engagementi said，if ever i have a chance to help other people，i will do it.”now older，the man lives in kansas city. each year he gives away thousands of dollars. he isknown as the “secret santa(圣诞老人)，” because at christmas time each year，he personally hands money out to those on the street，and at diners. last year，he gave more than $50，000 away in kansas city.【语篇解读】 在自己困难时受到别人无私的帮助，功成名就时，富裕时，就要以适当的方式来回报社会。但愿人人能付出一点爱。21the underlined word “engagement” in paragraph 4 has the same meaning as _apromise bapology cexplanation

in the drivers head.cwhen i was nine years old, i loved to go fishing with my dad. but the only thing that wasnt very fun about it was that he could catch many fish while i couldnt catch anything. i usually got pretty upset and kept asking him why. he always answered, “son, if you want to catch a fish, you have to think like a fish”, i remember being even more upset then because, “im not a fish!” i didnt know how to think like a fish. besides, i reasoned, how could what i think influence what a fish does.as i got a little older i began to understand what my dad really meant. so, i read some bookson fish. and i even joined the local fishing club and started attending the monthly meetings. i learned that a fish is a cold-blooded animal and therefore is very sensitive to water temperature. that is why fish prefer shallow water to deep water because the former is warmer. besides, water is usually warmer in direct sunlight than in the shade. yet, fish don t have any eyelids(眼皮) and the sun hurts their eyes the more i understood fish, the more i became effective at finding and catching them.when i grew up and entered the business world, i remember hearing my first boss say, “weall need to think like sales people.” but it didnt completely make sense. my dad never once said, “if you want to catch a fish you need to think like a fisherman.” what he said was, “you need to think like a fish.” years later, with great efforts to promote long-term services to people mucholder and richer than me, i gradually learned what we all need is to think more like customers. it isnot an easy job. i will show you how in the following chapters.29. why was the author upset in fishing trips when he was nine?a. he could not catch a fish. b. his father was not patient with him.c. his father did not teach him fishing. d. he could not influence a fish as his father did.30. according to the author, fish are most likely to be found _.a. in deep water on sunny days b. in deep water on cloudy daysc. in shallow water under sunlight d. in shallow water under waterside trees.31. after entering the business world, the author found _.a. it easy to think like a customer b. his fathers fishing advice inspiringc. his first bosss sales ideas reasonable d. it difficult to sell services to poor people32. this passage most likely comes from _.a. a fishing guide b. a popular sales bookc. a novel on childhood d. a millionaires biographydthe morning had been a disaster. my tooth was aching. and id been in an argument with a friend. her words still hurt: “the trouble with you is that you wont put yourself in my place. cant you see things from my point of view?” i shook my head stubbornlyand felt the ache inmy tooth. id thought i could hold out till my dentist came back from holiday, but the pain was really unbearable. i started calling the dentists in the phone book, but no one could see me immediately. finally, at about lunchtime, i got lucky.“if you come by right now,” the receptionist said, “the dentist will fit you in.”i took my purse and keys and rushed to my car. but suddenly i began to doubt about the dentist.4what kind of dentist would be so eager to treat someone at such short notice? why wasnt he as busy as the others?in the dentists office, i sat down and looked around. i saw nothing but the bare walls and ibecame even more worried. the assistant noticed my nervousness and placed her warm hand over my ice-cold one.when i told her my fears, she laughed and said, “dont worry. the dentist is very good. ”“how long do i have to wait for him?” i asked impatiently.“come on, he is coming. just lie down and relax. and enjoy the artwork,” the assistant said. “the artwork?” i was puzzled.the chair went back. suddenly i smiled. there was a beautiful picture, right where i couldenjoy it: on the ceiling. how considerate the dentist was! at that moment, i began to understand what my friend meant by her words.what a relief!33. which of the following
