Earlier this month,Debbie and Shaun Riddle went to the West Side Cafe for lunch. The couple are regulars at the restaurant and their 1 , 21-year-old Kayla Lane,remembered them from a 2 visit. A few weeks before,the couple had come to the cafe with their newborn baby,Glory. 3 ,the child had died in her sleep of an unknown cause soon after that 4 .
After learning the sad 5 , Lane didn't know what to 6 . She just said, “Oh my gosh,I am so sorry." There's nothing anyone can say to make that better,7 she just served them with the best service she could.
The waitress also decided to do something 8 for the couple: she picked up their tab(付款）.
9 a Facebook post penned by Debbie Riddle,she and her husband received a 10 instead of a bill at the end of their 11 . “Your bill has been 12 . We are terribly sorry for your 13 . God Bless,” it read.
The note was signed “The West Side."
The Facebook post soon caught mass attention. A manager at the restaurant said that it had 14 been Lane herself who had paid for the meal out of her own pocket,and not the cafe's management as the note 15 .
It turns out,the waitress has a(n) 16 of picking up her customers’ tabs. “Like with firefighters ,” she said. “I feel 17 that I'm able to do it."
And she always does so anonymously(匿名地) .“I didn't want any 18 for my good deed ,” she wrote on Facebook. “I just simply wanted the satisfaction of being a 19 hand in a time of deep sorrow for this family. I get too much from this 20 . Thank the Riddles so much for being the wonderful people and blessing me with their friendship."

A few days before his eighth birthday,in February 1817,Abraham Lincoln shot a wild turkey. He hoped the kill would impress his father. Instead,the sight of the dead bird left the future president traumatized. Lincoln later wrote that he never again pulled a trigger (扳机) on any other animal.
On the frontier,animals were seen as sources of labor,food,or amusement. It was a time when ripping (撕) the heads off live geese was entertainment like late-night TV. But Lincoln wasn’t shy about sticking up for animals. As a youngster,he saved a turtle when some boys tried to pour hot coals on the animal's back; he also warned his friends that “an ant's life -was to it as sweet as ours to us." The role animals played in Lincoln's life has been largely overlooked. But it's not an unimportant part of his life. As biographer Michael Burlingame writes, “Lincoln's anger at the mistreatment of animals foreshadowed his anger at the cruelties of slavery."
Lincoln,s White House was full of cats,rabbits,goats,and horses. And once,he noticed three kittens on the floor of a telegrapher's tent, “moving about pitifUlly." Hearing that the kittens’ mother had died,Lincoln ordered an officer to see that the cats were cared for. Before leaving,he returned to play with them — three times.
But there was one animal he adored above all. Around 1855,Lincoln adopted a lost yellow dog he named Fido (from fidelis,Latin for faithfur') , Fido lived up to his name,accompanying Lincoln everywhere. But after the election of 1860,Lincoln feared the trip to Washington would be too stressful,and left the dog behind with friends. He even left behind Fido's favorite horsehair sofa to keep him comfortable.
When the president died,Fido returned his love,standing guard as thousands of mourners filed through Lincoln's home to pay their respects.
1. What does the underlined word “traumatized” in Paragraph 1 mean?
A. Excited and proud.
B. Shocked and upset.
C. Brave and confident.
D. Sad and discouraged.
2. On the frontier,people amused themselves .
A. by killing animals B. by saving animals
C. by training animals D. by keeping animals
3. According to Michael Burlingame,the way Lincoln treated animals had something to do with.
A. his family background
B. his academic experience
C. his interests and hobbies
D. his political performance
4. What can we infer about Lincoln from Paragraph 3 ?
A. He enjoyed playing games.
B. He was interested in animal stories.
C. He felt great sympathy for the weak.
D. He dreamed of becoming an animal doctor.
5. Which word can best describe Fido?
A. Wild. B. Brave.
C. Strong. D. Devoted.

How to get a friend back
If a good friend is keeping their distance and you want to reach out to them,the best approach is openness,honesty,and a willingness to acknowledge your friend's feelings. 1 Here are some specific steps to get a friend back.
2
There is most likely a specific reason for the rift (裂缝) in your friendship. Consider the situation as objectively as you can. Even if you feel wronged by your friend,consider the possibility that somewhere along the line you have also hurt them in ways that you weren't aware of.
Beware of assumptions.
If there seems to be no clear reason for your friend's distance,don't jump to conclusions. It may have nothing to do with you. 3
Think about what you want to say in advance.
If you feel you need to apologize,be specific about what you’ re apologizing for. 4 For example,if you’ve been ignoring your friend because you’ re spending all your time with a new friend,it isn't appropriate to apologize for spending time with this other person. Instead,talk about how you're sorry you haven’t been making time for your friend.
Call your friend or ask to meet.
5 Body language can communicate a lot more than just your voices and may help avoid misunderstandings. If you ask to meet,try to avoid unclear phrases like, “We need to talk." These can put your friend on the defensive. Instead’ try a more emotionally rooted approach like, “I miss you,” or “I was just hoping we could spend a little time together."
A. Reflect on what happened.
B. Talk about things that you’d like to change.
C. It's probably best to talk in person if you can.
D. Your friend might have something troubling them.
E. Make sure it's sincere: what are you really sorry about?
F. Both of you might need time to process what the other has said.
G. Take your time,be thoughtful,and hopefully you can repair the damage.
