6.One morning more than thirty years ago,I entered the Track Kitchen,a restaurant where everyone from the humblest(卑微的) to the most powerful came for breakfast.I noticed an empty chair next to an elderly,unshaven man,who looked somewhat disheveled.He was wearing a worn-out hat and was alone.I asked if I might join him.He agreed quietly and I sat down to have my breakfast.We cautiously began a conversation and spoke about a wide ange of things.We never introduced ourselves.I was concerned that he might have no money and not be able to afford something to eat.So as I rose to go back to the counter and buy a second cup of coffee,I asked,
"May I get you something?"
"A coffee would be nice."
Then I bought him a cup of coffee,We talked more,andhe accepted another cup of coffee,Finally,I rose to leave,wished him well,and headed for the exit.At the door I met one of my friends.He asked,
"How did you get to know Mr.Galbreath?"
"Who?"
"The man you were sitting with.He is chairman of the Board of Churchill Downs."
I could hardly believe it.I was buying,offering a free breakfast,and feeling pity for one of the world's richest and most powerful men!
My few minutes with Mr.Galbreath changed my life.Now I try to treat everyone with respect,no matter who I think they are,and no matter another human being with kindness and sincerity.

解答 29.B 猜测词义题.由上文中的I noticed an empty chair next to an elderly,unshaven man何下文中的He was wearing a worn-out hat and was alone.可知disheveled在这儿是指仪容不整,穿着邋遢的意思.所以答案选B项.
30.A 细节理解题.根据文中I was concerned that he might have no money and not be able to afford something to eat.可以判断选A项.
31.D 主旨大意题.根据文章最后一句Now I try to treat everyone with respect,no matter who I think they are,and no matter another human being with kindness and sincerity.可知,作者想要表达的是不要以貌取人.由此判断选D项.
