What am I doing with my daughter at home? Rather than read aloud from books, we
go to dinner and have a very good time. This is usually when her Mom isn"t around, and this is when my little girl and I relate better. They"re alone together so much. We"re seldom alone. When we"re alone together, she and I somehow behave differently. We learn about each other. She learns that I"m her father. I learn that she"s my daughter. It"s a strange feeling, but any parent knows what I"m talking about when I say that I often look at my daughter and wonder just whose kid she is. Where"d she suddenly come from? And why on earth did she pick Laura and me for parents?
When my daughter and I are alone she"ll hold my hand and say, “I just love you so much, Daddy!” She"s so used to my leaving that when I tell her she and I are going to hang out all night, she gets this great look on her face and says, “We"ve got so much to do, Dad!” There"s nothing like it in the world.
I want my relationship with my daughter to keep growing, so I"ve been giving my wife a couple of hundred dollars each week and making her go to the shopping center with her girlfriends, or something—anything!
But this closeness is not without its problems. When I"m sitting there playing with her Barbie doll(巴比娃娃), washing her hair, a voice in me suddenly says, “I"ve got to get a drink and get out of here.” Right in the middle of all this pleasantness, the voice goes, “Look at yourself! You"re washing dolls!”

A. He wants her to buy more things for the family. 
B. She can do whatever she likes with the money.

B.The daughter is happy when the father tells her he will be away.
C.The father is happy, hearing “We"ve got so much to do, Dad!” 
D.The father is sure that the daughter is not his own.   
3.What does the last paragraph tell us about the father?

举一反三

I’m seventeen. I had worked as a box boy at a supermarket in Los Angeles. People came to the counter and you put things in their bags for them. And carried things to their cars. It was hard work.
While working, you wear a plate with your name on it. I once met someone I knew years ago. I remembered his name and said,“Mr Castle, how are you?"We talked about this and that. As he left, he said,“It was nice talking to you, Brett."I felt great, he remembered me. Then I looked down at my name plate. Oh no. He didnt remember me at all, he just read the name plate. I wish I had put“Irving"down on my name plate. If hed have said,“Oh yes, Irving, how could I forget you?"I d have been ready for him. Theres nothing personal here.
The manager and everyone else who were a step above the box boys often shouted orders. One of these was: you couldnt accept tips(小费). Okay, Im outside and
I put the bags in the car. For a lot of people, the natural reaction(反应)is to take a quarter and give it to me. Id say,“Im sorry, I can’t."They’d get angry. When you give someone a tip, youre sort of being polite. You take a quarter and you put it in their hand and you expect them to say,“Oh,thanks a lot."When you say,“I"m sorry, I can"t."They feel a little put down.They say,“No one will know."And they put it in your pocket. You say,“I really can’t."It gets to a point where you almost have to hurt a person physically(身体上)to prevent him from tipping you. It was not in agreement with the stores belief in being friendly. Accepting tips was a friendly thing and made the customer feel good. I just couldt understand the strangeness of some peoples ideas. One lady actually put it in my pocket, got in the car, and drove away. I would have had to throw the quarter at her or eaten it or something.
I had decided that one year was enough. Some people needed the job to stay alive and fed. I guess I had the means and could afford to hate it and give it up.
1.What can be the best title for this text?
A.How Hard Life for Box Boys 
B.Getting along with Customers
C.Why I Gave up My Job
D.The Art of Taking Tips 
2.From the second paragraph, we can infer that _______ .
A.the writer didn’t like the impersonal part of his job
B.with a name plate, people can easily start talking
C.Mr Castle mistook Irving for Brett
D.Irving was the writers real name 
3.The box boy refused to accept tips because _______.
A.customers only gave small tips
B.some customers had strange ideas about tipping
C.the store forbade the box boys to take tips
D.he didn’t want to fight with the customers 
4.The underlined phrase“put down"in the third paragraph probably means _______.
A.misunderstood         B.defeated         C.hateful         D.hurt

The easy way out isn"t always easiest. I learned that lesson when I decided t
o treat Doug, my husband of one month, to a special meal. I glanced through my cookbook and chose a menu which included homemade bread. Knowing the bread would take time, I started on it as soon as Doug left for work. As I was not experienced in cooking, I thought if a dozen was good, two dozen would be better, so I doubled everything. As Doug loved oranges, I also opened a can of orange and poured it all into the bowl. Soon there was a sticky dough(面团) covered with ugly yellowish marks. Realizing I had been defeated, I put the dough in the rubbish bin outside so I wouldn"t have to face Doug laughing at my work. I went on preparing the rest of the meal, and, when Doug got home, we sat down to Cornish chicken with rice. He tried to enjoy the meal but seemed disturbed. Twice he got up and went outside, saying he thought he heard a noise. The third time he left, I went to the window to see what he was doing. Looking out, I saw Doug standing about three feet from the rubbish bin, holding the lid up with a stick and looking into the container. When I came out of the house, he dropped the stick and explained that there was something alive in our rubbish bin. Picking up the stick again, he held the lid up enough for me to see. I felt cold. But I stepped closer and looked harder. Without doubt it was my work. The hot sun had caused the dough to double in size and the fermenting yeast(酵母)made the surface shake and sigh  though it were breathing. It looked like some unknown being from outer space. I could see why Doug was so shaken. I had to admit what the “living thing” was and why it was there. I don"t know who was more embarrassed(尴尬)by the whole thing—Doug or me.

3.Why did the woman put the dough in the rubbish bin?
A. She didn"t see the use of keeping it.
B. She meant to joke with her husband.
C. She didn"t want her husband to see it.
D. She hoped it would soon dry in the sun. 
4.What made the dough in the bin look frightening?

oned Hamburgers, in Columbus, Ohio, which set itself apart by serving made to order burgers. With 6,000 restaurants worldwide, the chain now makes$ 6 billion a year in sales.
Although troubled by his own experience with adoption, Thomas, married since 1954 to Lorraine, 66, and with four grown kids besides Wendy, felt it could offer afuture for other children. He started the Dave Thomas Foundation (基金会) for Adoption in 1992.
In 1993, Thomas, who had left school at 15, graduated from Coconut Creek High School in Florida. He even took Lorraine to the graduation dance party. The kids voted him Most Likely to Succeed.

I wasn’t expecting the people with enormous orders, the women who complained that the coffee was much too creamy (含乳脂的), or the men who wanted their iced coffees remade again and again until they reached perfection.I couldn’t seem to please anyone.
One rainy day, one of my regular customers came in looking upset.He said he felt like getting in bed, pulling the sheets up over his head, and staying there for a few years.I knew exactly how he felt.

In the evening, the customer from the day before drove up to the window.He handed me a pink rose and a note.He said that not many people took time to care about others and he was glad there were still people like me in the world.With a friendly wave, he drove away.
I ran to the back of the shop and read the note.It read:
Christine,
Thanks for being so sweet, kind and thoughtful yesterday.It is so nice to meet someone who’s indeed nice.Please don’t change your ways! Have a great day! –Hank
