first day as a waitress in a busy new york restaurant. my cap had gone away, and my feet hurt. the loaded plates i carried seemed to be heavier and heavier. tired and discouraged, i didnt seem able to do anything right. as i made out a check for a family with several children who had changed their ice-cream order a dozen times, i was ready to stop. then the father smiled at me as he handed me my tip. “well done,” he said, “youve looked after us really well.” suddenly my tiredness disappeared. i smiled back, and later, when the manager asked me how id liked my first day, i said, “fine!” those few words of praise had changed everything. praise is like sunlight to human spirit; we cannot flower and grow without it. and yet, most of us are only too ready to apply to others the cold criticism（批评）, but are unwilling to give our fellows the warm sunshine of praise. perhaps that is why one word of praise can bring such pleasure.its strange how chary we are about praising. perhaps its because few of us know how to accept it. its especially rewarding to give praise in areas in which effort generally goes unnoticedan artist gets admired for a glorious picture，a cook for a perfect mealbut do you ever tell your laundry （洗衣房）manager how pleased you are when the shirts are done just right? in fact，to give praise costs the giver nothing but a moments thought and a moments effort21which of the following cant describe the writers situation before she got her tip? a. she was tiredb. she was busy c. she was sorry d. she was confident22according to the passage，which of the following is least likely to be given praise? aan artist ba cook ca waitressda laundry manager23. the underlined word “chary” in paragraph 2 means_. a. careless b. cautious c. unwilling d. greedy24what is the best title of the passage? awhy do you praise others? bwhy do you criticize others?cbe generous to give others praise!ddont criticize others!bour spiritual intelligence quotient（精神智商）,or sq, helps us understand ourselves, and live fuller, happier lives.though were all born with sq, most of us dont even realize that we have it. fortunately, you dont have to sign up for classes to learn how to improve your sq. here are some simple steps that can lead you to this new level of understanding.sit quietly. the process of developing spiritual intelligence begins with solitude（独处）and silence. to tune in to your spirit, you have to turn down the volume（强度）in your busy, noisy, complicated life and force yourself to do nothing at all. start small by creating islands for silence in your day. in the car, instead of listening to the music, use the time to think. at work, shut the door to your office between meetings, take a few breaths and let them out very, very slowly. enjoy the stillness in your home after the kids are finally in bed.step outside. for many people, nature sets their spirit free. go outside to watch a beautiful sunset. if you are walking with the dog, take the time to admire flowers in bloom; follow the flight of a bird and watch clouds float overhead.ask questions of yourself. ask open-ended questions, such as what am i feeling? what are my choices? where am i heading?but dont expect an answer to arrive through some supernatural forms of e-mail. “rarely do i get an immediate answer to my question,” says reverend joan carter, a presbyterian minister in sausalito, california. “but later that day i suddenly find myself thinking about a problem in a perspective i never considered before.”trust your spirit. while most of us rely on gut（本能的）feeling to realize danger, spiritual intelligence pushes us, not away from, but towards some action that will lead to a greater good. 25. the passage is mainly about_.a. what your sq is and in what way it can benefit our lifeb. what your sq is and in what way it can be improvedc. the relationship between your sq and your lifed. advantages and disadvantages of sq26. the underlined phrase to tune in to your spirit in the third paragraph probablymeans to_a. get your spirit relaxed b. keep up your spiritc. keep seated quietly d. change your spirit27. from the passage, we can know that the most important thing to improve your sq is_a. a peaceful mind b. deep thought c. spare time and hobbies d. good spirits ci was never very neat, while my roommate kate was extremely organized. each of her objects had its place, but mine always hid somewhere. she even labeled (贴标签 ) everything. i always looked for everything. over time, kate got neater and i got messier. she would push my dirty clothing over, and i would lay my books on her tidy desk. we both got tired of each other.war broke out one evening. kate came into the room. soon, i heard her screaming, take your shoes away! why under my bed! deafened, i saw my shoes flying at me. i jumped to my feet and started yelling. she yelled back louder.the room was filled with anger. we could not have stayed together for a single minute but for a phone call. kate answered it. from her end of the conversation, i could tell right away her grandma was seriously ill. when she hung up, she quickly crawled (爬 ) under her covers, weeping. obviously, that was something she should not go through phone. all of a sudden ,a warm feeling of sympathy rose up in my heart, slowly, i collected the pencils, took back the books, made my bed, cleaned the socks and swept the floor, even on her side. i got so absorbed into my work that i even didnt noticed kate had sat up. she was watching, her tears dried. then, she reached out her hands to grasp mine. i looked up into her eyes. she smiled at me. thanks. kate and i stayed roommates for the rest of the year. we didnt always agree, but we learned the key to living together: giving in，cleaning up and holding on. 28. what made kate angry one evening?a. she heard the author shouting loud. b. she couldnt find her books.c. she saw the authors shoes beneath her bed. d. she got the
