Though she was obviously freezing, her bright 28 lit up her face like a fire.“You cant 29 their drinks,” I said, confused and tired. “No, but Ill buy them,” she said. “Pay it forward and all that.”Completely puzzled, I charged her as 30 , and when the next customer arrived at the window I explained what had just happened. I watched as his 31 changed first angry to be out in the cold, then 32 at the random act of kindness, and finally, delighted by his 33 .“I suppose Ill pay for the next order then,” he replied, nodding and waving at the impatient driver 34 him. He 35 over the cash and received his pre-paid hot drink.The trend continued. Customers arrived annoyed, only to leave 36 and pleased. Some were shocked to spend much more than they had expected, 37 others ended up receiving their order for less than half the price.Five vehicles passed, then ten, then twenty. No one refused to pay. Customers stood at my window 38 a fist-full of change to buy drinks for a complete stranger.

My son targeted a company that was _23_ to hire only one person _24_ there were more than twenty people filling their resumes(简历).After the interview, there would only be 3 who could enter the final round, which would later _25_ one person to be employed. Everything seemed to go quite _26_ and my son passed the first round and entered the final round in a week.On the day of the final interview, my son and other two _27_ arrived at the interview place on time, _28_ the test. Unexpectedly, the interview was unbelievably _29_. The interviewer only said to them, “All of you are very super. Please go home and wait for our _30_. We will tell you the _31_ in 3 days. Good luck to all of you!” On the morning of the third day, my son received a text from the company shortly after breakfast that he was not employed. We all felt very _32_.In nightfall that day, my son suddenly told me _33_ on the phone, “Dad, I have been employed!” Greatly surprised, I could not wait to ask him, “Whats the whole _34_?” My son told me that he received another text saying that he was employed. Actually the first text sent to my son was also _35_ of the test in the interview. Three men received the same text this morning and only my sons _36_ was “Thank you” while the others said “Goodbye”.Only then did I know that my sons “hope” _37_ in that way.

My shopping list was _21_ and my wallet was light. Still, I needed to get a weeks worth of groceries for my family. I parked my car, looked down at my list, and hoped I could _22_it all. As I _23_ the door, I saw a man with kind eyes and a gentle _24_. He said he was collecting for a local food bank that helped to_ 25_ the hungry in my area. He handed me a second shopping list of things they could use and asked me to _26_ if I could. I smiled back, took the _27_ and walked into the store. I really wanted to help, but wasnt sure if I could this time. I walked through the store, picking up vegetables, soup, spaghetti, bread, milk, cereal, macaroni, bananas,and a dozen other things. I slowly _28_ each item off my list until I was done. When I looked down at my full cart I _29_ again if I even had enough to pay for it all. Then, as I put my own list back into my pocket, I saw the food _30_ list under it. I smiled and decided to trust my heart. With the food bank in mind, I went over and _31_ two of the biggest boxes of rice the store had and put them in my cart. It took_32_ six dollars out of my wallet to pay for them,_33_ my heart felt six times larger when I did. And when everything was _34_, I had just enough to pay for it all. It _35_ so little to make our world a better place. A few dollars can help to fill a childs _36_ belly(肚子). A smile and hug can help to _37_ a hurting heart. An encouraging word can inspire someone else to live and to love. A random_38_ of kindness can change anothers day and life. It is up to us,_39_. If we can _40_ a few dollars on rice , then we can share a love that will last forever. 21.A.short B. long C. frequent D. heavy22.A.offer B. exchangeC .afford D. accept23 A. approachedB. paintedC. cleaned D .left24 A. attitude B. manner C. smile D. anger25.A.share B .train C. protect D. feed26.A.help B. write C. advertise D. search27.A.name B. project C. list D. budget28.A.signedB. markedC. rid D. separated29.A.wanderedB. wonderedC. fanciedD. amazed30.A.store B. cartC. nutrition D. bank31.A.picked outB. lifted up C. picked upD. folded up32.A.otherB. othersC. more D. another33.A.soB. butC. and D. since34.A.orderedB. totaledC. replaced D. packed35.A.takesB. spendsC. pays D. wastes36.A.hungryB. adequateC. anxious D. full37.A.cureB. treat C. heal D. recover38.A.abilityB. allowanceC. appreciation D. act39.A.although B. though C. yet D. still40.A.saveB. rescue C. accumulate D. reservePassage 6Generally speaking, a British is widely regarded as a quiet, shy and conservative (保守) person who is 21 only among those with whom he is familiar. When a stranger is present, he often seems nervous, 22 embarrassed. You have to take a commuter train (通勤车) any morning or evening to 23 the truth of this. Serious-looking businessmen and women sit reading their newspapers or 24 off in a corner; hardly anybody talks, since to do so would be considered quite offensive (冒犯的). 25 , there is an unwritten but clearly understood code of behavior, which, once 26 , makes the offender immediately the object of 27 .One of the few things we can say about the British with certainty is that a British takes a(n) 28 to the discussion of their weather and that, if given a chance, he will talk about it 29 . Some people argue that it is because the British weather 30 follows forecast and thus becomes a source of interest to everyone. This may be so. Certainly a British cannot have much 31 in the weathermen, whose predictions, in many cases, 32 to be wrong! The man in the street seems to be as accurate or as inaccurate as the weathermen in his 33 .Foreigners may be surprised at the number of references 34 weather that the British make to each other in the course of a single day. Very often conversational greetings are 35 by comments on the weather. “Nice day, isnt it?” “Beautiful day!” may well be heard instead of “Good morning, how are you?” 36 the foreigner may consider this exaggerated (夸大) and comic, it is worthwhile pointing out that it could be used to his 37 . If he wants to start a conversation with a British but is 38 to know where to begin, he could do well to mention the state of the weather. It is a(n) 39 subject to which a response may well be 40 of even the most reserved of the British.21. A. relaxed B. frustrated C. amused D. exhausted22. A. yet B. otherwise C. even D. so23.
