4.A long time ago,Milton S.Hershey,the creator of the popular chocolate bars,was dipped in warm chocolate.I know all about it.My grandfather was there!At nineteen,Hershey established a candy business in Philadelphia.Although it failed,he tried again in several other cities and succeeded with Crystal A Caramels.But Hershey was not content.He began experimenting with chocolate and managed to sell his first chocolate bars in 1900.They were an instant success.In 1903,Hershey built a factory.
Hershey was usually pleasant and kind and enjoyed a good joke.However,in his chocolate factory,he held high standards for all the workers.He was both respected and feared.His anger would burst out when things didn't go as he'd expected,and workers were fired for mistakes.
My grandfather began working in the factory as a young man.His job was to push the vats (大桶) of warm chocolate to a storage area.To do this,he had to push the heavy vats up a ramp (斜坡) and across the walkway.One day,Hershey was walking backward on the walkway while my grandfather was pushing a vat of chocolate up the ramp.Bump.Clunk.Ker-plop!Hershey fell backward into the vat.Everyone else held their breath and ran up to pull him out.Grandfather froze in fear.Was he going to lose his job?
Hershey stood stiffly with his hands on his hips.Color rose in his face.He said something in a low voice.Then he smiled."It's not your fault,son,"he said."I need to watch where I'm going."He put some chocolate in his mouth."Mmm,that's good,"he said.Everyone laughed.The tour continued,with Hershey dripping chocolate as he went.And Grandfather kept his job.

73.He pushed the vats of warm chocolate to a storage area.问题为:爷爷在 Hershey 的工厂里做什么工作?由关键词 grandfather、factory 定位至文章第四段."His job was to …"回答了这一问题,结合字数要求组织答案可得:He pushed the vats of warm chocolate to a storage area.
74.Because he realized it was his own fault./Because he realized it was not Grandfather's fault/mistake.问题为:为什么 Hershey 没有开除爷爷?由文中"It's not your fault,son"并结合作者的记叙可知,Hershey 并未开除爷爷的原因在于他知道那并不是爷爷的错.
75.(It shows us that) Hershey was pleasant,humorous,kind (to others) and really respectable.问题为:这件意外的小事向我们展现了 Hershey 的哪些特征?在这件事中,Hershey 幽默并宽容,smiled、not your fault、put some chocolate in his mouth、dripping chocolate 为关键词,上文"Hershey was usually pleasant and …"及"both respected and feared"与此相照应.由此可提取、总结出答案.
