When Saturday night came, I was luckily 4 the tables not far from the kitchen. 5 , I still felt a little hard to carry the heavy trays (托盘)。
Before I knew it, the 6 was full of people. I moved slowly, 7 every step. I remember how 8 I was when I saw the tray stand near the tables, it looked different from the one I was 9 on. It had nice handles (手柄)，which made it 10 to move around. I was pleased with everything and began to 11 I was a natural at this job.
Then, an old man came to me and said, “Excuse me, dear, my wife and I loved __12 you work. It seems your tray stand has been very 13 to you, but we are getting ready to 14 now, and my wife needs her 15 back.”
At first his 16 did not get across. “What was he talking about!” Then I got it. I had set my trays on his wife’s orthopedic walker (助步器). I stood frozen as ice, but my face was 17 . I wanted to get into a hole and 18 .
Since then, I have learned from many mistakes such as the one I just 19 , I have learned to be more 20 and not to be too sure of myself.

解析
小题1:前文说在饭店找到一份工作，后文出现了carry the heavy trays (托盘)，可以可知“我”是在和有经验的服务员一起干。
小题2:该句前面提到跟随一位有经验的服务员干了几天，所以就允许自己独自为顾客服务了。其它几个动词不符合语境意思。
小题3:从下文来看，周日那几天All went well that first week.“一切都很顺利。”只是在周末出了一点小状况。
小题4:题意是“周六晚上，我有幸被给机会在离厨房不远的一张桌子边服务。”所以应用give，其它几个动词不合题意。
小题5:从下文的I still felt a little hard可知尽管我给了这样一个机会，但感到有点困难，语意转折了，故用however然而。therefore因此；otherwise否则；finally最后，这几个词不合语意。
小题6:既然是在饭店里当服务员，自然是饭店挤满了顾客，不会在其它地方挤满顾客。
小题7:前文提到饭店里挤满了顾客，所以自己要慢慢移动步子，“留意，当心”每一步。mind有“注意，留心”之意。其余几个不合语意。
小题8:从空后的内容可知，当时看到的托盘与培训的不一样，有一个漂亮的手柄，很好使，所以感到很高兴。
小题9:fix安装；train接受训练；load装载；wait等候。正式上岗前要经过学习培训，所以答案应为选项B。
小题10:正式的托盘与训练的不一样，很容易转动，故选D项。
小题11:前文说自己对店里的东西一切都很满意，所以相信自己能自然而然地干好自己的工作，故选A项。
小题12:句意是“我和妻子爱看你工作。”其它三个是使役动词，意为“让，使”，不合语意。
小题13:useful有用的；familiar熟悉的；unusual不普通的；interesting有趣的。句意是“好像你的托盘对你很有用。”
小题14:题意是“我们（就餐完了）要离开了。”故选D项。
小题15:该句前部分出现了tray stand可知他们是想拿回“我”误拿的托盘（助步器的托盘）。
小题16:idea想法；praise称赞，表扬；message信息；need需要的东西。题意是“起初我没有明白他表达的意思。”故正确答案为选项C。
小题17:cold冷；full of joy高兴；pale苍白的；on fire着火。题意是“我像冰人一样站在那儿傻眼了，（因为做错了事）脸变得通红，像着了火一样。
小题18:从该句前部分I wanted to get into a hole可知自己当时因遇而真想找个洞藏起来，故选B项。其余选项与语意不符。
小题19:repeat重说；discover发现；correct改正；describe。纵观全文，作者在描述她以前亲身经历的尴尬的事情，故选D。
小题20:从作者所描述的内容可知，她的那次失误是因为自己不仔细造成的，所以她要从错误中吸取教训，认真做事，不要对自己太自信。故选A，其它选项不合语意。

举一反三
A
Twenty years ago, I drove a taxi for a living. One night I went to pick up a passenger at 2:30 AM. When I arrived to collect, I found the building was dark except for a single light in a ground floor window.
I walked to the door and knocked, “Just a minute,” answered a weak, elderly voice.
After a long pause, the door opened. A small woman in her eighties stood before me. By her side was a small suitcase.
I took the suitcase to the car, and then returned to help the woman. She took my arm and we walked slowly toward the car.
She kept thanking me for my kindness. “It’s nothing,” I told her. “I just try to treat my passengers the way I would want my mother treated.”
“Oh, you’re such a good man.” She said. When we got into the taxi, she gave me an address, and then asked, “Could you drive through downtown?”
“It’s not the shortest way,” I answered quickly.
“Oh, I’m in no hurry,” she said. “I’m on my way to a hospice(临终医院). I don’t have any family left. The doctor says I don’t have very long.”
I quietly reached over and shut off the meter(计价器).
For the next two hours, we drove through the city. She showed me the building where she had once worked, the neighborhood where she had lived, and the furniture shop that had once been a ballroom where she had gone dancing as a girl.
Sometimes she’d ask me to slow down in front of a particular building and would sit staring into the darkness, saying nothing.
At dawn, she suddenly said,” I’m tired. Let’s go now.”
We drove in silence to the address she had given me.
“How much do I owe you?” she asked.
“Nothing.” I said.
“You have to make a living,” she answered. “Oh, there are other passengers,” I answered.
Almost without thinking, I bent and gave her a hug. She held onto e tightly. Our hug ended with her remark, “You gave an old woman a little moment of joy.”

There is nothing like this American expression of will in England or France, India or Russia. Only one other major nation in modern history has tried to elect its leader directly by mass, free, popular vote. This was the Weiman Republic of Germany, which modeled its unitary vote for national leaders on the American practice. Out of its experiment with the system it got Hitler. Americans have had Lincoln, Wilson and two Roosevelts. Nothing can be done when the voting returns are flooding in; the White House and its power will move to one or another of the two candidates, and all will know about it in the morning. But for these hours history stops.

The book—a bestseller in the US—is being used by men and women to deal with changes in their lives and work. Some large organizations, including Coca-Cola, Kodak and General Motors, ask their employees to read it in order to encourage them to be active towards changes.
Cheese is something related to everyone’s livelihood—our jobs, the Industries we work in, relationships and love as well.
With China’s official entry into the WTO, the whole nation will face more changes and challenges. So what should we do once this “cheese” on which we are so dependent is moved?
whatever challenges and changes we meet, we should face up to them bravely, Jiang Hengwei, a civil servant said after reading the book.
Professor Zhang Yang in Renmin University of China agrees. “We should change our way of thinking. The coming competitive foreign companies and products provide us with great chances to learn from them and improve our own products to meet international standards and be more competitive.”
“With hard work and wisdom, we will create a much larger and better piece of cheese.” Zhang smiled confidently.

Things can go wrong on-a number of people on the road. During the rush hour one evening, two cars hit each other and both drivers began to argue. The woman driver behind the two cars happened to be a learner. She suddenly went into a panic and stopped her car. This made the driver following her stop suddenly. His wife was sitting beside him holding a large cake. As she was thrown forward, the cake went right through the window and landed on the road’. Seeing a cake-flying through the air, a truck driver had to stop his truck all of a sudden. The truck was carrying empty beer bottles and hundreds of them slid off the back of the truck and fell onto the road. This led to yet another angry argument. Meanwhile, the traffic piled up behind. It took the police nearly an hour to get the traffic to move again. In the meanwhile, the truck driver had to sweep up hundreds of broken bottles. Only two dogs were enjoying themselves from the accident; for they were happily having what was left of the cake. It was just one of those days.
