It was my birthday last Thursday and I decided to   26   by inviting a few friends out to supper. I 27   a restaurant in a quiet part of town. It is one of my favorite restaurants because the food is good and the waiters are friendly. It is hardly ever crowded, because  28   people know about it, so it is not usually necessary to book a table. In any case, Thursday is not a busy evening 29 .
When we entered the restaurant, I was surprised to find it completely  30  . I looked around but not a  31    table was free. One of the waiters recognized me. He came across and explained the situation. “A party of tourists came in about   32   ago.” he said. “It was like an invasion! 33    the place was full! We can hardly manage.”
The waiter then  34   a table in the corner. “The people there  35  . ” he said, “Just hold on and you will  36    a place there.” He was right. Fifteen minutes later, the people 37   the corner table paid their bill, got up and left. I led my friends across and we all sat down.
Unfortunately our table was almost out of sight. We tried to attract the attention of the waiter who sent us there, but he, like 38    waiters, 39    the party of tourists. They ordered lots of food. But at last, an hour later, the tourists were finishing their meal and looking very  40    with their service. The waiter now very tired, appeared at our table. I advised (建议) my friends about the best dishes and finally the waiter went off with our 41 .
A few moments later he 42   to our table. We could tell from his face that he had 43   for us. 44   a little embarrassed (尴尬的) he informed us that there was  45    left. “All we can offer you” he said, “is an omelet!(煎蛋卷)”

Many years ago I drove a taxi for extra money. I drove mainly from the downtown to the 16 , beside the Greenwood Racetrack which was in operation at that time.
Each time a taxi drove up to the station, many kids would run along the   17  to the passenger door. One   18   kid would open the passenger door and say, “  19  , sir.” The passenger would always say thanks and give the kid a   20   on his way from the taxi to the entrance of the track. It was a routine that everybody knew.
One day I noticed a boy, who was   21   than most of them but was pushed away by even the smallest kid. He never pushed back.   22  , he would even step aside when others pushed forward. But he never   23  .
Then one morning as I was   24   to the sidewalk, all the other kids were running after a taxi   25  mine. They didn’t notice mine.
The boy saw me and walked toward my taxi. As I pulled up I made sure that I stopped in a 26  with the passenger door right beside him. He   27  the passenger door with a flourish(夸张动作) and said, “Good luck at the track, sir.”
  28 , the man did not tip him a quarter. Instead he   29 , “Get out of my way!” He pushed him aside so   30  that the boy fell on the sidewalk and I knew he was badly hurt. I got out of my car quickly   31  find that the man disappeared in the crowd.
So I looked for the kid. I decided to give him $20 for all his   32 . But he was far up ahead, walking out of the station   33 . The traffic policeman waved at me to get my car going.   34 , I never saw him again. I’d like to find him one day and tell him that if only he had stuck around a little longer I would have given him a whole $20.
I learned an important lesson from the boy. When things seem so   35  that you are ready to give up, that is the time when things are most likely to turn around for you.

The story I am going to tell you happened about three years ago when I started to learn how to drive. At first, I was very frightened, and I thought I could never learn how to drive a car. Driving a car frightened me because in my home country women never drive, but in the United States every woman has to know how to drive. My husband paid an instructor to teach me how to drive. After that, my husband practiced with me for a long time. My husband always told me that I had to learn. It was important to me and my family.
However, I couldn’t get my license right away. I failed my driving test two times. After practicing for a long time, I decided to go for my third driving test. I had failed my first test because I was very nervous. Everybody encouraged me to continue practicing. Three weeks later, I decided to try it again, but I failed again. After that, I was very embarrassed(困窘的), and I said I couldn’t get it, so I stopped practicing for a while.
Not knowing how to drive was bad because I couldn’t do anything. I had two kids, my husband works, and I have to take care of everything. Driving was so necessary that I decided to try it again. And finally, that time, I passed the test. Now I have my license. I know how to drive, and it has changed my life in some important ways. Now I’m driving to the college, learning English and hoping I will get a good job in the future.

The idea about the phoenix goes back to Ancient Egypt, where we find the phoenix described as a handsome, eagle-like bird, with part-golden, part-red plumage, that spent most of its life in the Arabian deserts. It was rarely seen and according to one version of the story, only appeared in Egypt once every five hundred years, when it flew to Heliopolis, “city of the sun”, and deliberately burnt itself to ashes by settling on the altar (祭坛) flame there! However, it seems it did not really die because from those same ashes a young, fully formed phoenix was born and flew away, apparently back to Arabia.
It is pretty obvious that no one has ever seen or will see a living phoenix. The interesting thing is that we can find certain clues which may explain one aspect of the Egyptians’ idea. It may sound unbelievable, but some birds are apparently quite charmed by flames and small fires, especially members of the crow family. One zoologist actually proved this by setting fire to some straw near to a tame(驯养的)rook, a large black bird like a crow. Far from becoming nervous and backing away, the bird deliberately stood over the flames, with raised and vibrating wings. It didn’t get burnt, but the image it presented by its strange behavior was almost exactly like that shown in illustrations of the mythical phoenix!
Why birds should occasionally behave in this strange way is not clear. One idea is that they carefully use the heat of the flames to relieve the annoyance caused by their feather mites (虱) which all birds have. Whatever the reason, it is quite possible that the Ancient Egyptians saw birds behaving in this way, from time to time, and used it as the basis of their phoenix myth, adding fanciful details which closely linked it to their worship of the sun and their belief in resurrection.
Nowadays, the phoenix is much less important to us than it was to the Egyptians. But the logo of modern fire insurance companies, which employ the phoenix as one of their symbols, refers that in one sense the idea of it remains.

If you’re networking(建立人际关系)and nothing is happening,you might need to evaluate how you’re doing it.Maybe you show up at each event and still feel challenged by the process.You aggressively talk to people,give out your cards,call endlessly to schedule an appointment but have no real success from your efforts.To help you gain a different future,here are eight habits you should avoid.(避免)
Ineffective networkers:
1.Lack patience.They expect immediate results and want business now, not tomorrow.
2.Constantly“selling”something.They see dollar signs every time they shake hands with someone.
3.Too many choices.If they offer a variety of products,they might try too hard to tell about all of them.Offering too much infomation sends a confusing message making it difficult for people to send references.Opportunities are all around us but when you’ re networking j only focus on one.
4.Change positions too often.If they move from company to company or do something totally different,it might be difficult for people to keep up with them.
5. Lack manners and respect.They interrupt others,talk with food in their mouth,aren’t very polite and appear unprofessional.They call people during dinner or on the weekends without thinking whether the occasion is suitable.
6. Focus on themselves. Too much self-promotion can leave the other person to feel unappreciated. Every sentence begins with“I”and is all about their business.
7.“Taking”instead of“giving”.They don’t realize what other people sense when they are being very selfish.Others may think that they are being taken advantage of.
8.Poor communication and interpersonal skills.They have trouble speaking effectively,building relationships and following up.
Networking is a process that is an investment of time and money.If you find you’re doing any of these habits,consider learning how to improve on these and maximize your results while networking.You’ll start to get better at connecting with people and obtain more opportunities.

For many years it was common in the United States to associate Chinese Americans with restaurants and places that wash clothes. People did not realize that the Chinese had been driven into these occupations by the prejudice and discrimination that faced them in this country.
The first Chinese to reach the United States came during the California Gold Rush of 1849. Like most of the other people there,they had come to search for gold. In that largely unoccupied land, the men staked a claim (立界标表明所有权) for themselves by placing makers’ in the ground. However,either because the Chinese were so different from the others or because they worked so patiently that they sometimes succeeded in getting a mining claim to make a profit ( where others saw no way to do so) ,they became the target".Of their competi­tors. They were troubled and attacked in many ways. Often they were prevented from working their claims; some places even passed regulations forbidding them to own claims. The Chinese therefore started to seek out other ways of earning a living. Some of them began to wash clothes for the white miners; others set up small restaurants. (There were almost no women in California in those days and the Chinese filled a real need by doing this" women's work". ) Some went to work as farmhands or as fishermen.
In the early 1860's many more Chinese arrived in California. This time railroad companies brought the men in to build the first railroad line from California to the East. They were sorely needed because the work was so hard and dangerous,and it was carried on in such an isolated part of the country that the railroad company could not find other laborers for the job. As in the case of the first Chinese in America, these Chinese were almost all males; and like them,too,they encountered a great deal of prejudice. The hostility grew es­pecially strong after the railroad project was completed,and the Chinese laborers returned to California—thousands of them,all out of work
Many of today's Chinese Americans are the descendants of some of the early miners and railroad workers.

Two worlds come together
Imagine landing in a foreign country where you cannot speak the language, understand the culture and don’t know anybody. Wouldn’t it be nice to have a friend who could help you out?
John Smith, an English explorer who landed in America in 1607, found the best friend ever. She was a Native American named Pocahontas (1595-1617). And she did more than teach Smith the language: she saved his life, twice.   
Smith was captured(捕获) by members of Pocahontas’s tribe (部落) and was going to be killed. But for some reason, the Chief’s daughter, Pocahontas, felt sorry for Smith (who was probably the first white man she had ever seen) and threw her body over his to protect him. Smith returned safely to the small village he was living in.
During the winter the English settlers did not know how to get food from nature. Pocahontas often brought food for Smith and his friends.
A year later Pocahontas’s father tried to kill Smith again because the Native Americans were very scared the English would try to take over their land. Pocahontas warned him and he was able to escape.
Later she became a Christian and eventually married an Englishman named John Rolfe.
She spent the last year of her life in London.
Pocahontas has become an American legend. Her life story has been re-created in many books and films, including Disney’s 1995 film, Pocahontas.
One of the reasons she is so popular is that many Europeans look at Pocahontas as an excellent example of how a minority can adjust into the majority. Pocahontas is also respected because of her selfless love. She proved that people can be kind and loving even to people of a different race or culture. John Smith was very different from Pocahontas but she could see he was a good man and that was all that mattered. No race or country owns goodness, love and loyalty.
小题1: What difficulties might early European settlers meet in America EXCEPT ________?
A.the fierce conflict with Native AmericansB.bad-tempered natives who enjoyed killing
C.unfamiliarity with a foreign landD.lack of food in winter
小题2: Pocahontas saved John Smith twice because ______.
A.he was the first white man she had ever seen in her life
B.she wanted to become a Christian and marry an Englishman
C.she believed in general kindness even to people of a different race
D.she was on the settlers’ side and against her cruel father
小题3: According to the text, Europeans think Pocahontas _____.
A.was brave to break away from her own tribe
B.set a good example for other natives to accept the white settlers
C.was a selfless Christian who can love her enemy
D.was open to a more advanced culture
小题4: What can we infer from the passage?
A.The battles between early settlers and Native Americans resulted from their fighting for land.
B.The Europeans think the early settlers should have learned to adjust to the local cultures.
C.The creation of America is based on the settlers’ victory over the Native Americans.
D.People from different cultures can never really get along well with each other.
