At the time my son was born in 1956, I shared a hospital room with a young woman who bore a boy on the same day. Partly because my parents 46 a shop selling flowers, the room was soon 47 with the lovely scent of roses.
As the seventh floral arrangement was 48 , I was beginning to feel 49 , for no flowers had arrived for my roommate, Ann. She sat on the edge of her bed and leaned forward to admire the 50 bouquet. She was a pretty young woman, yet there was something about her large, brown eyes that made me think she had known too much 51 , too much sadness for one so young. I had the feeling she had always had to admire someone else’ 52 .
“I’m enjoying every 53 of this”, she said as though she had read my 54 and was trying to reassure me. “Wasn’t I the lucky one to get you for a 55 ？”
I still felt uncomfortable, however. 56 there were some magic button I could push to 57 the sadness in her eyes. Well, I thought, at least,I can see that she has some flowers. When my mother and father came to see me that day, I asked them to send 58 some.
The flowers arrived just 59 Ann and I were finishing supper.
“More flowers for you,” she said, 60 .
“No, not this time,” I said, looking at the 61 “These are for you.”
Ann stared at the blossoms a long time, not saying anything. She ran her 62 across the pale blue bouquets and 63 touched each of the sweet roses as though trying to engrave（刻畫） them on her 64 .
“How can I ever thank you” she said softly.
I was almost embarrassed. It was such a little 65 on my part.

A company advertised in the newspaper for a sales position. Details of the requirements, salary and benefits were given. It was also clearly stated that applicants needed to take an aptitude test (能力傾向測試) and an interview. However, looking at the whole advertisement, one could not find any contact information of the company.
Most interested applicants thought that it was the company’s HR department’s carelessness or a printing error. They therefore waited patiently for the newspaper to publish an amendment(訂正). But instead of waiting for the newspaper to publish the company details, another three applicants took the initiative(主動性) to find out the company’s contact information themselves.
Tim did a search on the Internet. By typing the company’s name, he easily obtained all the information including its contact number. Lisa called up the local telephone number search service and found out the company’s office number. She called up the office and got the required contact information. Donna put in a greater effort in her search. She remembered seeing a poster by the same company in the city so she drove all the way down and made a few rounds to search for it. She finally found it together with the company’s contact information.
Three days after that advertisement was published in the newspaper, most interested applicants were still waiting eagerly for an amendment. On the other hand, the application letters and resumes of Tim, Lisa and Donna had already reached the hands of the company’s HR manager. They were then called up for an interview. During the interview, all went well and immediately they were hired. The three of them were a little surprised at how fast things went on. They were expecting for an aptitude test as stated in the advertisement. The HR director answered them, smiling, “Our test is hidden in the advertisement itself. To be a good salesperson in this age, he or she has to be broad-minded and very importantly, does not follow rigid (死板的) steps or rules. You are all clever. In a short time, you’ve managed to find ways of contacting us. It shows clearly that you have passed the test with flying colors!”
The fools sit around waiting for their chances whereas the wise actively take actions with great initiative.
【小題1】According to the passage the company wanted to test the applicants’ ______.
| A．sales skills | B．carefulness | C．a(chǎn)ttitude | D．initiative |

| A．The HR manager of the company made a mistake. |
| B．The company meant to omit (遺漏) its contact information. |

| B．The advertisement was very special to many applicants. |
| C．Whoever found the company’s contact information didn’t need to have an interview. |
| D．The company needed broad-minded and clever salespersons. |
| A．no contact information seen in an advertisement might not be the company’s mistake |

LONDON—Here’s a new warning from health experts：Sitting is deadly.
Scientists are increasingly warning that sitting for long periods—even if you also exercise regularly—could be bad for your health.And it doesn’t matter where the sitting takes place—at the office，at school，in the car or before a computer or TV—just the overall number of hours it occurs.Several studies suggest people who spend most of their days sitting are more likely to be fat，have a heart attack or even die.
In an editorial published this week in the British Journal of Sports Medicine，Elin Ekblom?Bak of the Swedish School of Sport and Health Sciences suggested that authorities rethink how they define physical activity to highlight the dangers of sitting.
While health officials have issued guidelines recommending minimum amounts of physical activity，they haven’t suggested people try to limit how much time they spend in a seated position.
“After four hours of sitting，the body starts to send harmful signals，”said Ekblom?Bak.She explained that genes regulating(調(diào)節(jié)) the amount of glucose(葡萄糖) and fat in the body start to shut down.
Even for people who exercise，spending long periods of time sitting at a desk is still harmful.Tim Armstrong，a physical activity expert at the World Health Organization，said people who exercise every day—but still spend a lot of time sitting—might get more benefit if that exercise was spread across the day，rather than in a single bout(一回)．
Still，in a study published in 2009 that tracked more than 17,000 Canadians for about a dozen years，researchers found people who sat more had a higher death risk，whether or not they exercised.
“We don’t have enough evidence yet to say how much sitting is bad，” said Peter Katzmarzyk of the Pennington Biomedical Research Center in Baton Rouge，who led the Canadian study.“But it seems the more you can get up and interrupt this sedentary behavior，the better.”
Figures from a U．S. survey in 2003?2004 found Americans spend more than half their time sitting，from working at their desks to sitting in cars.
Experts said more research is needed to figure out just how much sitting is dangerous，and what might be possible to offset those effects.
“People should keep exercising because that has a lot of benefits，” Ekblom?Bak said.“But when they’re in the office，they should try to interrupt sitting as often as possible，” she said.

My six-year-old granddaughter, Caitlyn, and I stopped at a Tim Horton’s shop for a blueberry cake. As we were going out of the door, a young teenage boy was coming in.
This young man had no hair on sides of his head with a set of blue spiked（豎起的）hair on top of it. One of his nostrils(鼻孔) was pierced （扎、穿）, and a ring ran through the hole and a chain went across his face and was attached to a ring he was wearing in his ear. He held a skateboard under one arm and a basketball under the other.
Caitlyn, who was walking ahead of me, stopped at once when she saw the teenager, I thought he’d scared her and she’d frozen on the spot.
I was wrong.
My granddaughter backed up against the door and opened it as wide as it would go. Now I was face to face with the young man. I stepped aside and let him pass. His response was a polite “Thank you very much”.
On our way to the car, I praised Caitlyn for her manners in holding open the door for the young man. She didn’t seem to be troubled by his appearance, but I wanted to make sure. If a grandmother’s talk about freedom of self-expression and allowing people their differences was in order, I wanted to be ready.
As it turned out, the person who needed the talk was me.
The only thing Caitlyn noticed about the teenager was the fact that his arms were full. “He would have a hard time to open the door. ”
I saw the partially shaved head, the set of spiked hair, the piercing and the chain. She saw a person carrying something under each arm and heading toward a closed door.
In the future, I hope to get down on her level and raise my sights.
1.What did the author think of the young man?
A. Polite. B. Uncommon. C. Frightening. D. Funny.
2. Caitlyn helped the young man because______ .
A. she was scared B. she didn’t notice his look
C. she wanted to avoid him D. it would be difficult for him to open the door
3. The underlined sentence suggests that_______ .
A. the author was ashamed of herself
B. the author didn’t know how to give a talk on freedom
C. a talk on freedom was useless for the granddaughter
D. people should have more freedom to express themselves
4. The author intends to tell us that_______ .
A. we shouldn’t judge a person by his look
B. we should allow people more freedom to dress differently
C. we should be more helpful and tolerant(寬容的)to people
D. we shouldn’t be too particular about people in life
