I stopped at a gas station(加油站) about 50 miles from Oklahoma City, where I was planning to stop and visit a friend. While I was standing in line at the cash register(收款台), I said hello to an older couple who were also paying for gas.I took off, but had gone only a few miles when black smoke poured from the back of my car. I stopped and wondered what I should do. A car pulled up behind me. It was the couple I ha d spoken to at the gas station. They said they would take me to my friend’s. We chatted on the way into the city, and when I got out of the car, the husband gave me his business card.I wrote him and his wife a thank-you note for helping me. Soon afterward, I receiveda Christmas present from them. Their note that came with it said that helping me had made their holidays meaningful.Years later, I drove to a meeting in a nearby town in the morning. In late afternoon I returned to my car and found that I’ d left the lights on all day, and the battery(电池) was dead. Then I noticed that the Friendly Ford dealership—a shop selling cars—was right next door. I walked over and found two salesmen in the showroom.“Just how friendly is Friendly Ford?” I asked and expl ained my trouble. They quickly drove a pickup truck to my car and started it. They would accept no payment, so when I got home, I wrote them a note to say thanks. I received a letter back from one of the salesmen. No one had ever taken the time to write him and say thank you, and it meant a lot, he said.“Thank you”—two powerful words. They’re easy to say and mean so much.24．The author planned to stop at Oklahoma City _______.A．to see his parents B．to visit a friendC．to pay at the cash register D．to have more gas for his car 25．The words “took off” underlined in Paragraph 2 mean “________”.A．turned off B．put up C． moved off D．set up 26．The battery of the author’ s car was dead because _______.A．something went wrong with the lights B．the meeting lasted a whole day C．he drove too long a distance D．he forgot to turn off the lights 27．By telling his own experiences, the author tries to show _______.A．how to write a thank-you letter B．the importance of expressing thanksC．the kind-heartedness of the older people D．how to deal with car problemsCOdland remembers like it was yesterday working in an expensive French restaurant in Denver. The ice cream he was serving fell onto the white dress of a rich and important woman.Thirty years have passed, but Odland can’t get the memory out of his mind, nor the woman’s kind reaction(反应). She was shocked, regained calmness and, in a kind voice, told the young Odland. “It’s OK. It wasn’t your fault.” When she left the restaurant, she also left the future Fortune 500 CEO(总裁) with a life lesson: You can tell a lot about a person by the way he or she treats the waiter.Odland isn’t the only CEO to have made this discovery. Instead, it seems to be one of those few laws of the land that every CEO learns on the way up. It’s hard to get a dozen CEO’s to agree about anything, but most agree with the Waiter Rule. They say how others treat the CEO says nothing. But how others treat the waiter is like a window into the soul （灵魂）.Watch out for anyone who pulls out the power card to say something like, “I could buy this place and fire you,” or “I know the owner and I could have you fired.” Th ose who say such things have shown more about their character(人品) than about their wealth and power.The CEO who came up with it, or at least first wrote it down, is Raytheon CEO, Bill Swanson. He wrote a best-selling book called Swanson’s Unwritten Rules of Management. “A person who is nice to you but rude to the waiter, or to others, is not a nice person,” Swanson says. “I will never offer a job to the person who is sweet to the boss but turns rude to someone cleaning the tables.”28. What happened after Odland dropped the ice cream onto the woman’s dress?A. He was fired.B. He was blamed.C. The woman left the restaurant at onceD. The woman comforted him29. Odland learned one of his life lessons from ________.A. the advice given by the CEOsB. an article in FortuneC. his experience as a waiter.D. an interesting best-selling book30. According to the text, most CEOs have the same opinion about ________.A. the Wai ter RuleB. Fortune 500 companiesC. Swanson’s bookD. the Management Rules31. From the text we can learn that ________.A. one should be nicer to important peopleB. one should respect others no matter who they areC. CEOs often have meals in expensive restaurantsD. CEOs often show their power before othersDSan Francisco has its cable cars. Seattle has its Space Needle. And, Longview has its squirrel bridge. The bridge, which has attracted international attention, is now a local landmark.The Nutty Narrows Bridge was built in 1963 by a local builder, Amos Peters, to give squirrels a way to cross the busy road without being killed by passing cars.The original bridge was built over Olympia Way. Before the bridge was built, squirrels had to avoid traffic to and from the Park Plaza office building where office staff put out nuts for the squirrels. Many times, Peters and others who worked in and near Park Plaza witnessed squirrels being run over.One day Peters found a dead squ irrel with a nut still in its mouth, and that day’s coffee break discussion turned into squirrel safety. The group of businessmen cooked up the squirrel bridge idea and formed a committee（委员会） to ask the blessing of the City Council(市政会).The Council approved（赞成）, and Councilwoman Bess LaRiviere named the bridge “Nutty Narrows.”After the bridge was designed, Amos Peters and Bill Hutch built the 60-foot bridge and it cost $1,000. It didn’t take long before reports of squirrels using the bridge started. Squirrels were even seen guiding their young and teaching them the ropes. The story was picked up by the media, and Nutty Narrows became known in newspapers all over the world.Peters died in 1984, and a ten-foot wooden squirrel sculpture was placed near the bridge in memory of its builder and his devotion to the project.32.

What happened over the coffee break discussion?A. The committee got the Council’s blessing.B. A councilwoman named thebridgeC. The squirrel bridge idea was bornD. A squirrel was found dead.34.

Showing them how to use thebridge.35. What can we learn about Amos Peters?A. He was awarded a medal for building the bridge.B. He donated $1,000 to buildthe bridgeC.
