One day I came home from school, changed my clothes and got ready for work. I work at a local restaurant in town as a cashier and waiter. I went to work feeling 36 . And to make matters worse, I was busy that evening. It' s the same thing over and over again. 37 with customers who complain about their food andwhere they are 38 is too big or too small. Little things like that tend to 39 a lot of us 40 but we manage to deal with it. Three elderly ladies walked in and sat by the windows. It happened to be the very 41 near where I keep the dirty 42 in the boxes. Trying to keep up with all the dirty tables, customers leaving and coming in and 43 running all over the house, it was crazy． 44 these elderly women were watching 45 I was working to make sure every table was clean and ready for the next customers. When they 46 their meals, I took their plates back to the kitchen. They talked to me for a while about school, how I was doing, what 47 I was in and what I planned to do in the future. 48 they were leaving, they walked past me and one of them said to me in a 49 and gentle voice, “You are going places.（你前途无量） And that was it.” They left the 50 and I had tears in my eyes, because they gave me 51 to believe in myself．They 52 my spirit from being down and gave me a 53 to keep on working hard. People used to tell me that I couldn’t have a career in 54 until I had a degree. I'm now a co-anchor (联合主持人) of a student-produced television 55 . And the best thing is: I'm only 17 years old and I am a senior in high school. 小题1: A．tired B．excited C．down D．up 小题2: A．Helping B．Dealing C．Talking D．Meeting 小题3: A．seated B． sat C．laid D．seating 小题4: A．attract B．avoid C．annoy D． adjust 小题5: A．customers B．employees C．boss D．employers 小题6: A．table B．box C．kitchen D． spot 小题7: A．rooms B．dishes C．clothes D．chairs 小题8: A．men B．women C．people D．servers 小题9: A．And B．Otherwise C．But D．So 小题10: A．how B．what C．where D．why 小题11: A．completed B．finished C．ordered D．got 小题12: A．grade B．place C．mark D．position 小题13: A．Before B．While C．After D．As 小题14: A．confident B．loud C．low D．pleasant 小题15: A．house B．kitchen C．table D．restaurant 小题16: A．courage B．ability C．imagination D．time 小题17: A．put down B．picked up C．took over D．pointed out 小题18: A．reason B．cause C．present D．permission 小题19: A．government B．television C．school D．restaurant 小题20: A．company B．factory C．advertisement D．show
