Three years ago, I had a job in a retail store (零售店). I 21 to talk to everybody and know what was going on in their 22 . I remember a girl who started 23 there a few months after me. We seldom talked but we always 24 each other and smiled. She always smiled in a really happy way 25 one day when we got to work in the 26 department. She smiled as if she was the 27 girl in the world. I went up to her and asked, “What’s wrong with you?” She answered, “Why?” I said, “I could feel you’re very 28 , but you’re always trying to 29 it.” Her mouth just dropped as if I had 30 her deepest secret, so we started talking. She told me 31 she was feeling unhappy and why she was trying to 32 that nothing was wrong. Time went by and we became good friends. She’d always tell me I had 33 her life in so many ways. Today that girl is one of my best 34 . I really don’t know what I would do 35 her. She has been there for me in every 36 way a friend could be. What I’m trying to say is that you never know 37 you’re helping yourself. I helped this girl never knowing that at the same time I was helping myself by finding a 38 friend. So the next time you see a 39 and he needs someone who will 40 to him, wait and let him say what he wants to say. You never know, you might just end up helping yourself. 小题1: A．managed B．intended C．remembered D．liked 小题2: A．lives B．jobs C．studies D．marriages 小题3: A．shopping B．talking C．going D．working 小题4: A．assisted B．looked at C．realized D．stared at 小题5: A．though B．since C．until D．unless 小题6: A．similar B．nearby C．same D．different 小题7: A．quietest B．happiest C．busiest D．luckiest 小题8: A．sad B．angry C．happy D．surprised 小题9: A．keep B．stop C．hide D．show 小题10: A．caught B．discovered C．controlled D．checked 小题11: A．when B．how C．why D．what 小题12: A．pretend B．become C．make D．admit 小题13: A．protected B．recovered C．supported D．changed 小题14: A．customers B．friends C．neighbors D．classmates 小题15: A．without B．for C．upon D．with 小题16: A． B．possible C．strange D．perfect 小题17: A．before B．since C．because D．when 小题18: A．truthful B．useful C．hopeful D．careful 小题19: A．stranger B．worker C．passenger D．visitor 小题20: A．belong B．refer C．listen D．turn
