I was managing behavior all the morning and by lunch time, I knew I needed coffee to even consider surviving the afternoon. So on my lunch break, I drove to a nearby plaza to get a cup of coffee. Upon returning to the car I realized I had locked my keys and my phone inside! I had about 15 minutes to get back to the school which was a good 4- or 5-minute drive away. I contemplated (考虑) rushing back, but it being winter, I thought a nasty fall on ice would only make the situation much worse.So I ran into a McDonald’s which was in the same plaza and asked the man at the counter who happened to be the manager to please call me a cab. I briefly explained my situation to him, and I could tell by the look in his eyes that he empathized. He hurried to the back to use the phone while I paced in the restaurant. I had less than 10 minutes to get back to my school at this point.The manager returned only to tell me that the cab company had put him on hold and then the line got disconnected, and that he was now on hold again, but had not been able to request the cab yet. My expression, I assume, began to resemble some combination of hopelessness and fear.Without a thought, he grabbed his coat and offered to drive me to the school. Without hesitation, I followed him into his car and made it back into my classroom with 2 minutes to spare before the bell!Upon arriving at the school, I thanked this man endlessly. His calm behavior and kind nature made me think he was probably a wonderful manager to work for, and also a wonderful human being to have on this earth. This experience makes me realize that out of every seemingly hopeless situation, there is the opportunity for acts of kindness to transpire (发生), which can have an unimaginable impact (影响) on those who receive them.1．Why did the author want to get a cup of coffee?A．Because he was very thirsty at that time.B．Because he was only interested in drinking coffee.C．Because he had to refresh himself for the classes in the afternoon.D．Because he wanted to do something special to pass the whole afternoon.2．The author ________ so he gave up the idea of going back to school on foot when he found his keys and phone were locked inside the car.

But few will know — or even think to ask — who it was that invented them.Sylvan N. Goldman invented the shopping cart in 1937. At that time he was in the supermarket business. Every day he would see shoppers lugging groceries around inbaskets they had to carry.One day Goldman suddenly had the idea of putting baskets onwheels. The wheeled baskets would make shopping much easier for hiscustomers, and would help to attract more business.On June 4, 1937, Goldman’s first carts were ready for use in hismarket. He was terribly excited on the morning of that day as customersbegan arriving. He couldn’t wait to see them using his invention.But Goldman was disappointed. Most shoppers gave the carts a long look, but hardly anybody would give them a try.After a while, Goldman decided to ask customers why they weren’t using his carts. “Don’t you think this arm is strong enough to carry a shopping basket？” one sho pper replied.But Goldman wasn’t beaten yet. He knew his carts would be a great success if only he could persuade people to give them a try. To this end, Goldman hired a group of people to push carts around his market and pretend they were shopping! Seeing this, the real customers gradually began copying the phony (假的) customers.As Goldman had hoped, the carts were soon attracting larger and larger numbers of customers to his market. But not only did more people come — those who came bought more. With larger easier-to-handle baskets, customers unconsciously bought a greater number of items than before.Today’s shopping carts are five times larger than Goldman’s original model. Perhaps that’s one reason why Americans today spend more than five times as much money on food each year as they did before 1937 — the coming of the shopping cart.5．What do the underlined words “chromeplated contraptions” in the first paragraph refer to?A．Baskets. B．Private cars.C．Suitcases.

Reforming India’s economy will therefore require more than just the relaxation of business regulations; it will require a massive reallocation of labor and the retraining of farm workers for other professions through better education and vocational training. In addition, only 29% of women in India are in the workforce even though they make up 50% of the population, which represents the severe underuse of a valuable resource, and a barrier to progress.The government with Modi as the Premier will have to create a basic construction to correct the problem of these inefficiencies. It is also important to note that the reorganization of India’s labor force will take years, if not decades, to produce results for the economy. All this can push returns down for investors in the short and medium term.Another major challenge for India’s free market experiment will be the foundation of BJP (人民党), which has its roots in religion. Free market economics can’t work properly without a truly free society, and the conservative social and political philosophies (思想体系) of Modi’s party could prevent that from happening.The rural base of the BJP also creates another risk for the agenda of the government. While India’s poor people will certainly benefit from economic reform, they are also the easiest to be exploited by some corporations and may require state-sponsored welfare for existence. This creates an obvious contradiction for the government and a real free market in India. To lift the country economically, capitalist principles must be accepted completely, but without state control, India’spoor and middle class may be left behind.12．To change India’s economy more effectively, ________.A．business regulations should be restrictedB．farm workers deserve retraining and reallocatingC．more people should be engaged in agricultureD．women should make up 50% of the workforce13．Free market economics can function well with ________.A．traditional social structuresB．a society full of libertyC．conservative political philosophiesD．the basic policy of BJP14．Under the control of the government, ________ will benefit from the economic reform.A．both commerce and industryB．both state factories and local firmsC．both middle-class people and poor peopleD．both urban and rural areas15．The tone of the author towards India’s economic reform is ________.A．favorable B．disapprovingC．optimistic D．doubtfulⅡ.阅读七选五Guide for TeenagersThe teenage years can be tough, and it’s normal to feel sad every now and then.
