I never thought I would have a life-changing experience at Wal-Mart.
Although my thoughts were only on speed, the checkout line I was standing in wasn't moving as quickly as I wanted, and I glanced toward the cashier. There stood a man in his seventies, wearing glasses and a nice smile. I thought, well, he's 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, “How's 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 a brief conversation.
I thought it was odd. I had grown accustomed to people asking me how I was doing simply out of robotic conversational habit. After a while, you don't 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 wasn't the end.
He gave them the change, walked around the counter, and extended his right hand in an act of friendship. He looked the customers in the eyes. “I surely want to thank you for shopping here today，” he told them. “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 never 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 that guy? It was as if Sam Walton had come back from the dead and invaded this old guy's body. I had never walked away from that shop feeling like that.
1.According to the writer, when common people ask you “How's it going？”, ________.
A．they don't really care what you may answer
B．they are just practicing their conversation ability
C．they are inquiring about your private information
D．they don't expect to hear any negative answers
2.What was most customers' reaction to Marty's behaviors?
A．They thought it priceless. B．They were in some way moved.
C．They thought it awful and odd. D．They felt somewhat offended.
3.What can we infer about Sam Walton?
A．He might be Marty's father or grandfather.
B．He might be friendly and devoted to Wal-Mart.
C．He might have died while working in the market.
D．He might have come back from the dead once before.
4.What does the writer intend to express through the text?
A．Our everyday life is always full of surprises.
B．Most customers enjoy being treated this way.
C．Being different is a good way of doing business.
D．A little positive action can make a big difference.

I grew up in my grandparents’ home. My grandfather would take all his grandkid for walks. Usually we would go to his garden, which he would pick apples that had tasted by the bird and carve off the opposite side to give to us. I once asked, “Why do you not to offer the ripe-looking apples untouched by the bird?” Feel unhappy, I thought he was such mean. Maybe he wanted to sell the “good” apples instead of feed them to his grandkids. He rolled his hand over my head gentle. “Birds only eat the sweetest apples, but I pick the best for you,” he said. “Never assume; always ask.” My grandfather teaches me a good lesson.

On a mid-September day, British climbers Rachel Kelsey and Jeremy Colenso were climbing in the Swiss Alps.
When they left their base, the weather was good, and they reached the top of the mountain. Snow began to fall, making it difficult to see where they could put their hands and feet on the rock. After several frightening minutes, they found a narrow ledge(岩石架) and climbed on to it, hoping the snow would stop and they could continue to climb down.
“We had to stay awake,” said Rachel, “because it was so cold that we could have died. So we told stories and rubbed our fingers to keep them warm.”
But what could they do? Rachel had brought her mobile phone with her, but all the people she could get in touch with were in London. Still, she sent a text message at 1:30 a.m. to get help. It read: “Need heli rescue off Piz Badile, Switzerland”. At 5:00 a.m., one friend, Avery Cunliffe, got the message. He jumped into action, called the rescue services in Switzerland, and called Rachel to tell her that help was coming.
The weather was too bad for the helicopters to operate, but Avery kept sending text messages to the climbers. “We owe our lives to Avery,” they said when they were back at base.
A. They were both experienced climbers.
B. They decided that they had to get help.
C. They were all asleep, and nothing happened.
D. She sent the same text to five friends in the UK.
E. At about 10:00 p.m. they were lifted off the mountain.
F. The snow did not stop and the temperature dropped to -10℃.
G. But as they started the climb down, a storm struck the mountain.

One of my happiest childhood memories were having dinner with my parents and two sisters. As a result, found that we seldom had a chance to get together, we decided we would set aside three evenings the week for a sit-down dinner. First we tried setting three fixed days for our experiment—Mondays, Wednesdays or Fridays. After a couple of week of trying this plan, almost everyone was unhappy. For a while, the kids began to resist the idea. They said they would rather to spend the time with their friends or take part in some activities. Gradual, though, they began to see these evenings together for a very different way. We laughed a lot and we discussed about each other’s problems. Since a few months, we all felt we had been able to build much strong relationships with the family than we had before.
