D
He looks like somebody important! I remember thinking about a middle-aged man standing at a checkout counter． Something set him apart． Even the boy bagging groceries seemed to sense it． He sped up than usual as he glanced with respect at the man．
Trying to find out what was different about him, I found that he looked quite ordinary． Although he gave the impression of being tall, I could see he was actually a little shorter than average． His appearance wasn’t particularly outstanding, and he was wearing plain weekend sports attire ( 运动休闲装 )． Not until the man was leaving did it strike me． He carried himself as if he were somebody worth caring about． Head up and chest out, he walked proudly from the market． I watched the other shoppers as they looked down over their baskets． And me? In the glass of the store’s side doors, I saw reflected ( 映现 ) a worn-out housewife who looked as if she’d carried too many bags of groceries．
Suddenly, the words I’d heard my mother repeat hundreds of times as I was growing up held new meaning． “Stand up straight ! Lift yourself by pretending strings are pulling you from the tops of your ears．” I thought of myself being pulled up ． I felt taller as I came nearer to the market’s doors． This time I saw reflected a woman who looked as if she knew where she was going! But as I rushed home in five o’clock traffic and tried to fix dinner before a seven o’clock meeting, my good manners disappeared． It wasn’t until the next day as I was trying on clothes in a department store that I remembered again． Each thing I put on seemed wrong． Suddenly I recalled the man in the supermarket． I lifted myself up． The dress looked nicer on me． I liked the dress! Sure enough, I looked five to seven pounds lighter． Dieting titles I’d read came to mind, such as “How to Lose Pounds in Weeks?” Now I had a new title: “How to Look Thinner in Seconds．”
68．The boy bagging groceries glanced with respect at the man because    ____   ．
A．the man gave him some tips for his service
B．the man walked in a strange way in the supermarket
C．his manners was different from the other people in the supermarket
D．the man was a special person for him 
69．The writer looked five to seven pounds lighter because _________   ．
A．she was having a diet
B．she stood straight up
C．she was taking exercise
D．she wore a beautiful dress 
70．The underlined phrase “ set him apart ” in the first passage probably means        ．

C．made him handsome
D．upset him

I spent two months with an American family last year when I studied in America．It is said that “The best house is in the U.S.A．， the best wife is in Japan and the best food is in China．”So I took 36    and pleasure to   37    “the best food” for my American family．Each day，regardless of my poor skill of cooking，I performed my play in  38   way：changing the dishes’colour，the meat’s type or the soup’s style．Thus，my American friends could discover the    39   of eating Chinese food． Because of my“      40    ” job，I was often rewarded by their    41  of  appreciation , such as “very  tasty”，“excellent”etc．But the joke was here： yesterday， I cooked Sichuan－style    42  for dinner．I was   43   at my achievement．When all the family members arrived at the table，they first looked     44  at the fish，then looked at me． “Why do all the fish have their    45   ？” they asked，“It’s horrible！” Horrible or beautiful？ I don’t know． But I    46  know that fish heads are delicious. The    47   is the best part of fish； in    48    only the respectable guest can have the special     49  of enjoying it． Another                      50     thing is：the American friends often said to me“    51 ”as they  52   fruits or other things． According to Chinese tradition，I would simply smile in answer to their kindness 53 actually helping myself to any of the food.     54  ，I said “help yourself” to them whenever I brought home fruits．Dear me，no matter how much or how often I brought home food， as long as it was nice to their taste，they    55  hesitated to use their hands to “help themselves” until all was finished．
