4.Inside the pleasingly fragrant cafe,So All May Eat(SAME) in downtown Denver,the spirit of generosity(慷慨)is instantly noticeable:A donation box stands in place of a cash register.Customers here pay only what they can afford,no questions asked.A risky business plan,perhaps,but SAME Café has done one unchangeable thing in the Mile High City for six years:Open only at midday,the restaurant provides poor local can instead volunteer as waiters and waitresses,and dishwashers,or took after the buildings and equipment for the cafe.
"It's based on trust,and it's working all right",says co-owner Brad Birky,who started the café in 2006.With his wife Libby.Previously volunteering at soup kitchens,the Birkys were dissatisfied with the often unhealthy meals they served there."We wanted to offer quality food in a restaurant where everyone felt comfortable,regardless of their circumstances,"Birky says.SAME's special lunch menu changes daily and most food materials are natural and grown by local farmers.The café now averages 65 to 70 customers (and eight volunteers) a day.And the spirit of generosity behind the project appears to be spreading.In early 2007,one volunteer who had cleared snow for his meals during the long winter said goodbye to the Birkys,"He said he was going to New Orleans to help with the hurricane clear up,"says Birky.

68.What can we learn about the soup kitchens the Birkys prcviously worked for?B
A.They refused to have volunteers.
B.They offered low quality food.
C.They provided customers with a good environment.
D.They closed down because of poor management.
69.According to the passage,which of the following is TRUE?A
A..The customers who cannot pay can word as volunteers in stead.
B.More volunteers will go to new Orleans for the hurricane cleanup.

分析 本文是一篇记叙文,文章讲述了丹佛市中心的一家咖啡馆慷慨的经营理念.捐款箱代替了收银机,顾客可以随意捐献,如对于那些没有能力支付餐费的人可以代替志愿者做服务员、洗碗工,或者为咖啡馆照看大楼以及设备.咖啡馆的经营者本着信任他人的理念传播这种慷慨的精神.

解答 68.B 细节理解题.根据第三段第二句"Previously volunteering at soup kitchens,the  Birkys were dissatisfied with the often unhealthy meals they served there."可知,以前在流动厨房做义工时,Birky一家对他们那里经常供应的不健康的食物感到不满意.故选B.
69.A 细节理解题.根据第二段最后一句中的"Those unable to pay for their meals can instead volunteer as waiters and waitresses,and dishwashers,or look after the buildings and equipment for the cafe."可知,那些没有能力支付餐费的人可以代替志愿者做服务员、洗碗工,或者为咖啡馆照看大楼以及设备.故选A.
70.B 推理判断题.根据最后一段第二句中"And the spirit of generosity behind the project appears to be spreading."作者认为这是慷慨之举,并且这样的精神在传播,可以推测出,作者对经营这样的咖啡馆持赞成的态度.故选B.

点评 本篇是社会文化类阅读,考查学生对细节的理解把握和推理判断能力,做题时一定要找到文章中的原句,和题干进行比较,再做出正确选择.在做推理判断题时不要以个人的主观想象代替文章的事实,要根据文章事实进行合乎逻辑的推理判断.

2.My husband and I used to think we had all we had ever wanted.A beautiful house,three healthy children and one more on the way,two cars,a couple of four-wheelers for entertainment-We really had it all and we loved it.Then,the market turned and my husband's job at a construction company was gone.The company was closing down forever.
We both started looking for jobs right away,but there weren't any to be found.With each passing day we were getting increasingly worried and we continued to work together in order to pull our family through. The more we pulled together,the closer we got.I felt feelings of admiration for my husband that I hadn't felt in years.
That's why it was so hard for me to watch him blame himself for our present situation.I continually asked him to stop,but he seemed to want to punish himself for not having a job.
Finally,one afternoon I pulled him aside and said,"We have four healthy children and each other.That's what's important.That makes you a rich man."
"But what if we lose the house?They'll hate me-you'll hate me,"he replied.
I smiled at him and put my hands on both sides of his face to make him look me in the eye."No matter where we live I will be happy-as long as I have you,"I smiled again as I realized that I wasn't just saying that.In all the struggling together I had found that deep love for him that I had on the day we said"I do".
I could see his shoulders and neck relaxed.He held me close and we were able to talk and plan and dream together in a way that we hadn't for quite some time.It was a turning point for us as a couple and a family.
We are still struggling for our better life,but I consider us well-off because we have something that money can't buy and no one can take away from us.
