【题目】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 rang 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, and he 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.

【题目】They should be Britain’s gilded (镀金的) youth, enjoying opportunities to study, travel and start exciting careers in a way older generations could only dream about. But instead they are the “Ipod” generation “Insecure, Pressured, Over-taxed and Debt-ridden”according to a study by a group of experts who provide advice and ideas on social issues.

“We thought that each generation would be better off than its predecessors (前辈),” said Professor Nick Bosanquet of Imperial College London, one of its authors. “But young people today have more duties and it is much more difficult for them to raise their incomes and create wealth. This really is a very big issue for the country.”

According to the report, today’s youth don’t have enough confidence and ability to build on the economic foundations created by post-war baby boomers (生育高峰期出生的人) . Because they are in debt, they are also reluctant to take risks. Levels of entrepreneurship (企业家精神) among Britain’s youth are lower than in America, Australia, New Zealand and Ireland and have fallen over the past decade. Many choose the jobs which offer a good amount of money after they retire. Others have to take any job that is available to try to pay off their debts.

“I borrowed a lot of money from the bank to pay for my education at university, which is the biggest chain around my neck now,” said Phil Grech, 22, from Cumbria, who has a degree in maths from the University of Reading. “I’m only doing a temporary job at the moment to pay the mounting bills. I haven’t really thought about the long term. Many people think that when you leave university you can get a good job, but it’s no longer like that.”

While older generations enjoyed higher education funded by taxpayers, young people today face university tuition fees and a decreasing “return” in the salary advantage they will get from their degrees.

【2】What’s the biggest problem in Phil Grech’s life?

A. Low income.

B. The debt.

C. Not having a good college degree.

D. Not having job opportunities.

【3】We can infer from the text that the “Ipod” generation __________.

A. doesn’t have much determination

B. doesn’t want to have a full-time job

C. lives a harder life than the older generations

D. hasn’t realized the importance of saving money

【4】Which of the following words can best take the place of the word “reluctant” in the third paragraph?
