In my enthusiasm and excitement, I talked quite louder than usual voice and in Spanish, my mother tongue.‎ A few minutes into the call, an old lady sitting at the table beside mine got up, seemingly upset, and asked the restaurant staff to relocate (重新安排)  a table as far away as possible from this man who won’t hang up his phone.‎ I sank in my seat out of embarrassment. I ended the call soon afterwards and felt the urge to apologize. Before getting up, I looked around to see where she was and she was at the table farthest away from me. I noticed that the lady was alone and staring out the window, looking a bit sad.‎ Right then I quit my plan for a conventional apologetic gesture and decided to conduct an experiment. Seeing those funny smile cards in my wallet, I took one out and wrote some words to express my apology. On signing my restaurant bill, I asked a waiter to secretly charge the lady’s meal to me and hand her the smile card instead of her bill.‎ I left the restaurant, letting the waiter know I would be back in a few hours to pick up my credit card. I returned later as promised, excited to learn the result.‎ To my pleasant surprise, things turned out the best possible way The waiter approached me with joy, telling me, “In the many times she had dined here before, I had never seen the old lady smile as she did when receiving the smile card and the $0 bill. She thanked me even though I explained that someone else did the job.”‎ ‎4.The old lady changed her seat mainly because of __________.‎ A. her private phone call B. the author’s loud voice C. the views out of the window D. the restaurant staff’s mistake ‎5.What can we infer from Paragraph 3?‎ A. The author didn’t stop talking though he felt embarrassed.‎ B. The author went up to the old lady and apologized to her.‎ C. The old lady just moved to the farthest table to see outside.‎ D. The lady didn’t have a nice mood and liked to stay alone.‎ ‎6.Feeling sorry, the author offered the old lady the following EXCEPT __________.‎ A. an apologetic gesture B. a smile card C. a free meal D. some written words to apologize ‎7.Which of the following is the best title of this passage?‎ A. A Misunderstanding Caused by Different Cultures B. An Unpleasant Experience in Thailand C. A Smile Card for a Sincere Apology D. An Old Lady Who Never Smiles C Reading poems is not exactly an everyday activity for most people. In fact, many people never read a poem once they get out of high school.      It is worth reminding ourselves that this has not always been the case in America. In the nineteenth century, a usual American activity was to sit around the fireside in the evening and read poems aloud. It is true that there was no television at the time, nor movie theaters, nor World Wide Web, to provide diversion. However, poems were a source of pleasure, of self-education, of connection with other people or with the world beyond one's own community. Reading them was a social act as well as an individual one, and perhaps even more social. Writing poems to share with friends and relations was, like reading poems by the fireside, another way in which poetry has a place in ‎ everyday life.      How did things change? Why are most Americans no longer comfortable with poetry, and why do most people today think that a poem has nothing to tell them and that they can do well without poems?      There are, I believe, three factors: poets, teachers, and we ourselves. Of these, the least important is the third: the world surrounding the poem has betrayed(背叛) us more than we have betrayed the poem. Early in the twentieth century, poetry in English headed into an unfavorable directions to the reading of poetry. Readers decided that poems were not for the fireside or the easy chair. at night, and that they belonged where other difficult-to-read things belonged.      Poets failed the reader, so did teachers. They want their students to know something about the skills of a poem, they want their students to see that poems mean something. Yet what usually occurs when teachers push these concerns on their high school students is that young people regard poems as unpleasant crossword puzzles.‎ ‎8. Reading poems is thought to be a social act in the nineteenth century because _____.‎ A. it built a link among people B. it helped unite a community C. it was a source of self-education D. it was a source of pleasure ‎9.

There are many reasons for feeling down, but I’m not able to discuss all of them. ___16.__‎ Make a list. Sometimes we are sad simply because we are troubled by all the things we have to do. __17__ Make a list of the most pressing things you have to do. Thus you’re getting things under control. You can see, right in front of you, what you need to do, and that can pick up your mood.‎ ‎__18.___ You’ve made a list, and you still feel puzzled? Well, get started on the first thing you need to do. Once you get into action, you’ll feel better. And once you start doing something, you will feel much better than lying around feeling sorry for yourself.‎ ‎___19._‎ ‎_ I like Brown Eyed Girl, the Kinks, the Ramones, or an upbeat Beatles tune. You might have your own brand of feel-good music. Whatever it is, let yourself move to the beat. It may just be what the doctor ordered.‎ Talk about it. Get a best friend, family member or coworker you can talk to. ___20.__ It can also help you work out the reasons you’re feeling down.‎ A. Take action.‎ B. Play some lively music.‎ C. Get out of the house and do something.‎ D. Getting things off your chest makes a big difference.‎ E. Start simply by picking up a piece of paper and a pen.‎ F. Do whatever you need to do to feel good about yourself.‎ G. What I can talk about are some things that have worked for me.‎ 三、完形填空 It’s about 250 miles from the hills of west-central lowa to Ehlers’ home in Minnesota.
