One of the most wonderful things about having a positive attitude is that it can touch many people in the course of everyday life.
Recently I stopped by a store to get a newspaper and a bottle of juice. The young woman at the check-out counter said, “That’ll be three dollars in all please.” And as I reached into my wallet,the thought occurred to me that a newspaper and a bottle of juice didn’t quite make it to three dollars.
When I looked up to get a “re-quote”(重说一遍), she had a big smile on her face and said,“I got to get my tip in there somehow!” I laughed when I knew what she meant. She then glanced down at the paper I was buying and said, “I’m sick and tired of all the negative material on the front pages. I want to read some good news for a change.” She then said, “In fact, I think someone should publish a Good News newspaper —a paper with wonderful, inspirational stories about people overcoming difficulties and doing good things for others. I’d buy one every day!” She then thanked me for coming in and said, “Maybe we’ll get lucky tomorrow; maybe we’ll get some good news!” We both laughed,and I thought: she just made my day.
The following day after work I dropped by the same store again to pick up bottled water and a newspaper, but a different young lady was behind the counter. As I checked out I said, “Good afternoon”, and handed her my money. She said nothing,and didn’t smile or make a gesture. She just handed me my change and said in a bored voice, “Next!”
It hit me right between the eyes. Two people, the same age; one had made me feel great, while the other had made me feel that I had inconvenienced her by showing up.
The choices we make and attitudes we show influence lives every day in positive or negative ways…our peers, our friends,and even strangers we’ve never met before and will never meet again. So every morning you should ask yourself:“Who do I want to be today—‘The Grouch’(好抱怨的人) or ‘The Good News Girl?” Your answer will go a long way toward determining the quality of your life and that of those around you.
From the first salesgirl’s words we know that __________.
A. she was sick and tired of people with bad manners
B. she didn’t like the bad news in the newspaper
C. she liked reading all kinds of stories
D. she thought it was boring to sell newspapers
After the author bought the newspaper the first day,he _________.
A. had a sad day

Cars are an important part of life in the United States. Without a car most people feel that they are poor. And even if a person is poor , he doesn’t feel really poor when he has a car.
Henry Ford was the man who first started making cars in large numbers. He probably didn’t know how much the car was going to change American culture. The car made the United States a nation on wheels. And it helped make the United States what it is today.
There are three main reasons why the car became so popular in the United States. First of all, the country is a big one and Americans like to move around it. The car makes the travel the most comfortable and cheapest. With a car people can go to any place without spending a lot of money.
The second reason cars are popular is the fact that the United States never really developed a practical and cheap public travel system. Long distance trains have never been as common in the United States as they are in other parts of the world. Now there is a good system of air-service provided by planes. But it is too expensive to be used often.
The third reason is the most important one, though. The American spirit of independence is what really made cars popular. Americans don’t like waiting for a bus, or a train or even a plane. They don’t like to have to follow an exact timetable. A car gives them the freedom to plan their own time. And this is the freedom that Americans want most to have.
Less oil has caused a big problem for Americans. But the answer will not be a bigger system of public transportation. The real answer will have to be a new kind of car, one that does not use so much oil.
【小题1】We can learn from this passage that Americans ______.
A.spend a lot of money traveling by car | B.travel a lot in their cars |
C.seldom travel by plane | D.use public traffic often |
A.In the United States even the poor own cars. |
B.In the United States all the poor have no cars. |
C.When an American has a car, he will never be poor. |
D.An American will feel poor unless he has a car. |
A.Americans like to plan their own time |
B.The United States does not have enough public transportation |
C.Americans will not feel poor when they travel in their cars |
D.Americans cannot move around without their own cars |
A.everyone in the United States owns a car |
B.the United States produces most of the cars in the world |
C.cars play an important part in American’ life |
D.the United States depend on car industry for its development |

One afternoon, many years ago, I went to pick up my mother from work. I got there a little early so I 1 the car by the roadside and waited for her.
As I looked 2 the car window, there was a small park where I saw a little boy, around two years old, 3 freely on the grass as his mother watched from a short 4 . The boy had a big smile on his face 5 he had just been set free from some sort of 6 . The boy would then fall to the grass, 7 , and without hesitation or without looking back at his mother, run as fast as he could again, still with a 8 on his face.
Kids, when they fall down, don't view their falling down as failure, but 9 , they treat it as a learning experience. They try and try again until they 10 . While I was touched by the boy's persistence, I was 11 touched by the manner in which he ran. With each attempt, he looked so 12 and so natural — no signs of fear, nervousness, or of being discouraged. His only 13 was to run freely and to do it as effectively as he could. He was just being a 14 — just being himself—being completely in the moment. He was not looking for 15 or was not worrying about whether 16 was watching. He didn't seem to be bothered by the fact that maybe someone would see him 17 and that it would be 18 if he did fall. No, all that 19 to him was to accomplish the task, to feel the experience of running fully and freely. I learned a lot from that 20 and experience, and have successfully brought that lesson with me in my many pursuits(追求) in life.
