The old farmer lived about a mile down the road and needed help cutting grass. It was the first time I was actually paid for work- about 12 cents an hour，not bad when you consider it was 1939，a time when there was little business activity.Mr. Ingram liked the job I did and ended up hiring me to dig potatoes. I even helped when a baby cow was being born.One day he found an old truck that was stuck in the soft，sandy soil of the melon(瓜)field. It was full of melons that someone had tried to steal before their truck got stuck.Mr. Ingram explained that the truck's owner would be returning soon，and he wanted me to watch . It wasn't long before a man from a nearby village，who had a terrible reputation(名声)for fighting and stealing，showed up with his two full-grown sons. They looked very angry.Calmly Mr. Ingram said，"Well，I see you want to buy some watermelons."There was a long silence before the man answered，"Yeah，I guess so. What are you getting for them?""Twenty-five cents each.""Well. I guess that would be fair enough if you help me get my truck out of here."It turned out to be our biggest sale of the summer，and an unpleasant，perhaps unfortunate，incident had been prevented. After they left，Mr. Ingram smiled and said to me，"Son，if you don't forgive(原谅)your enemies，you're going to run out of friends." Mr. Ingram died a few years later，but I have never forgotten him or what he taught me on my first job.( )31 Which of the following best explains "ended up" as is used in the passage ?A. enjoyedB. finishedC. got intoD. went on( )32. The truck owners were angry because_______ .A. they failed to get the melons away without being seenB. they forgot to have their truck checked before they startedC. they had got too many melons on the truckD. they knew they had a bad reputation( )33. Why didn't the truck owners fight to get away the melons.A. The old farmer was a strong enemy.B.The price offered for the melons was very low.C.It was hard to start a fight against friendly people.D.It was necessary to get the truck out before anythingPassage twoYou get all sorts of demands，and the mark of a good hotel is to supply whatever is asked for without sounding surprised. If a guest asks for rubber glover(手套)，you don't ask why. You say，"No problem. What colour do you want?"There have been some demands which，much as I would have liked to fill，I couldn't. A Japanese businessman，for example，thought the manager of a hotel was like the captain of a ship so he asked me to marry him and the woman he loved. There was one time，however，we did help out. A young man thought that if he asked his girlfriend to marry him ,she would say yes. He asked us to put the ring in a cake，and she accepted.Top hotels are used more and more to impress. They are used for doing business. If you've got something to sell，take your clients(客户) to the best hotel where the surroundings are quite helpful. A friend of mine working at Savoy Hotel tells the story about a man who gave him 5 pounds to say " good morning，Mr. Smith" when he walked through the door with two other men. This he did ，and could hear Mr. Smith saying，"I do wish they would leave me alone at this place."According to Julian Payne，the most powerful people in any hotel are the porters，who carry bags for hotel guests. "Porters can do almost anything. They can get you tables at the best restaurants r tickets for a popular concert. Don't ask me how they do it because I don't know. Most of them have been there for years. They know more about the history of the hotel and the guests than anyone else. They are invaluable, but he can say hello to someone he remembers visiting the hotel years ago."( )34. When guests ask for something strange，the manager of a good hotel wouldthink_________.A. how he can meet their needsB. why they have such demandsC.what problems the hotel hasD. who is the best person to go to( )35. Which of the following examples explains "we did help out"?A. The hotel bought a ring for a young lady.B.A Japanese married the woman he loved.C.The manager once acted as a captain.D.A young lady agreed to marry her boyfriend.( )36. By saying "I do wish they would leave me alone at this place，" Mr. Smith .A. showed that he disliked such people at the hotelB. gave the impression that he was a constant guestC. tried to make his clients feel sorry for himD. sounded as if he was tired of such greetings( )37. Why are the porters considered the most powerful people in expensive hotels?A. they sell tickets for converts.B. they can complete difficult tasks.C.they know the history of hotels.D.They usually work in a hotel for a long time.Passage threeTake a deep breath and spend a week with the Lee family . The three older children-Anna，12，Nathan，9 ，and Kristian，7, play one sport or another almost all year round.(Lisa is only 1 so she gets a break here.) Anna's practicing football，volleyball，basketball and softball. Nathan and Kristian do them all except volleyball. In the summer，add on tennis and swim lessons.All of this means that dad，Darwin，a teacher，and mom，Joann，a nurse，spend a lot of time making sure everyone gets what he needs to be. Family dinners? Forget about it. A busy family timetable，says Barbara Carlson. A school teacher，has become the new thing that shows your status(地位)。
