For a month that summer,I served as a waitress,punctual at breakfast and dinner,which gave me the middle of the day free for studying.Like all the others,I did what the instructions said and treated the guests as though they were special visitors in my own home.
I soon learned how to deal with the most upsetting person in the kitchen:the cook,Gordon.He had a great ability to become very angry for no clear reason.I avoided him as much as possible and always took the dishes with a frozen expression on my face which was turned into a sweet smile in the space between kitchen and dining room.
Breakfast waitressing was,I found,more enjoyable than the dinner service.The guests came wandering into the dining room,looking with appreciation at the view of the sea and islands through the dining room window.It was funny how differently people behaved in the evenings,dressed up and talking with louder,colder voices,not always returning my smile.However,that all changed when Dad created a special role for me.
It began with a few common cakes for the guests'packed lunches and progressed to fancy cakes for afternoon teas.This led to the climax(顶点):a nightly show known as Lucy's Sweet Trolley.Every evening,I carried the most amazing collection of cakes and other desserts.Most were things I had invented myself and I had cooked all of them.Some-were Jacobite Grenades,Mocha Genghis Khan and Goat's Milk Bavarios to name a few-were really strange.It was Dad's idea that I should dress smartly and stop at each table and recite the name of each dish.

点评 人物故事类阅读理解文章是高考英语常考材料之一.这类文章一般可分为人物传记和短篇故事两类.这两类阅读材料一般较长,即词数多,而且命题也较多,特别是推理判断题和事实细节题多.在做此类阅读理解题时往往是材料看得懂,题目不好做的感觉.因此,在阅读材料时要重点放在事情发展的过程和结果上,注意把握事件的发展进程及人物之间的关系,细节与主题的关系,用以说明人物性格特点的事实、作者的态度等,这些内容往往是推理判断题的命题点.至于事实细节题的解答,同学们切忌想当然或者凭印象,一定要找到文章中的原句,和题干进行比较,再做出正确选择.
