He was a man famous for his escapes（逃走；逃生） from prison cells（囚室）, from wooden boxes floating（漂浮） in rivers, from locked tanks full of water. He appeared in theaters all over Europe and America. Crowds came to see the great Houdini and his “magic” tricks.Of course, his secret was not magic, or supernatural powers. It was simply strength. He had the ability to move his toes as well as his fingers. He could move his body into almost any position he wanted.Houdini started working in the entertainment world when he was 17, in 1891. He and his brother Theo performed card tricks in club in New York. They called themselves the Houdini Brothers. When Harry married in 1894, he and his wife Bess worked together as magician and assistant. But for a long time they were not very successful. Then Harry performed his first prison （监狱）escape in Chicago in 1898. Harry persuaded（说服） a detective（侦探） which to let him try to escape from the prison, and he invited the local newspapermen to watch.It was the publicity(宣传) that came from this that started Harry Houdinis success. Harry had fingers trained to escape from handcuffs(手铐) and toes trained to escape ankle chains. But his biggest secret was how he unlocked the prison doors. Every time he went into the prison cell, Bess gave him a kiss for good luck and a small skeleton key, which is a key that fits many locks, pass quickly from her mouth to his.Harry used these prison escapes to build his fame. He arranged to escape from the local prison of every town he visited. In the afternoon, the people of the town would read about it in their local newspapers, and in the evening every seat in the local theater would be full. What was the result?

I thought, well, hes an old guy! For the next few minutes I watched him. He greeted every customer before scanning the items. Sure, his words were the usual, “Hows it going?” But he did something different-he actually listened to people. Then he would respond to what they had said and engage them in brief conversation.I thought it was odd. I have grown accustomed to people asking me how I was doing simply out of robotic conversation habit. After a while, you dont give any thought to the question and just mumble something back. I could say, “I just found out I have six months to live,” and someone would reply, “Have a great day!”But that wasnt the end.He gave them the change, walked around the counter, and extended his right hand in an act of friendship. He looked at the customers in the eyes. “I sure want to thank you for shopping here today,” he told them. “Wish you have a great day. Bye-bye.”The looks on the faces of the customers were priceless. There were smiles and some sheepish grins. All had been touched by his simple gesture-and in a place they expected. They would gather their things and walk out, smiling.Of course, he did the same to me and I got to know his name, Marty.Who was the guy? It was as if Sam Walton had come back from the dead and invaded this old guys body.I had never walked away from that shop feeling like that.（1）The check line the writer was standing in moved slower than expected because_. A . the cashier was too old to work as fast as othersB . the writer wasnt patient enough.C . some customers got too many items to scanD . the cashier did more than scanning the items（2）According to the writer, when people ask you “Hows it going?” They might_. A . be just practicing their speaking skillsB . not really care what your answers would beC . be about to gain more of your private informationD . expect to hear some interesting answers（3）How did most customers feel about Martys behaviors? A . They thought it priceless.B . They thought he behaved strangely.C . They were in some way moved.D . They felt a bit bothered.（4）What can you infer about Sam Walton? A . He might be Martys family member.B . He might have died while working in Wal-Mart.C . He might have served in Wal-Mart and done something friendly as the cashier.D . He might have come back from the dead once before.（5）The passage is mainly written to tell _.
