Hing school got us into other groups of fellow students and we kept up our friendship 41 .But then the  42 happened during our senior year that changed her life 43  

Mrs. Lee was Evonne’s and my senior advisor. I don’t remember one word the woman spoke to me during consulting .However .I do remember what she said to Evonne .On one particular day, Evonne ,the teary-eyed 17-year old girl   44  Mrs. Lee’s office . She cried , “She might as well have told me I was 45 .She told me ‘You are not college material ’ Can you believe she said that?” Evonne  46  Then the still tiny ,but determined young woman made a brave 47  . “I’ll show her ”…and then she   48 !

Evonne’s head  49 . down in her studies the rest of that year. Following graduation she found employment and began 50  her way through coilege .She liaished her 4 years and  51  to graduaie school (研究生院),Not very years Not very many years later I heard that she had a PHD and became a professor at university in Tennessee  52                         words don’t always make someone cleeide to invest (投资) in themselves so wisely.

One day, four lawyers were riding along a country road. There had been a(n)  36 , and the ground was soft. The lawyers rode  37 , talking and laughing. As they were passing through a  38 , they heard some noises in the grass.
“What’s the matter here?” asked one man.
“Oh, it’s only some old robins (知更鸟)!” said another one, “The  39  has blown them out of the nest. They are too young to  40  .”
“What a  41  ! They’ll die,” said the third one.
“Well! They’re nothing but  42  ,” said the first lawyer.
The three men looked down and saw the mother robin  43  to her mates. Then they rode on, talking and laughing as before. In a few minutes they had  44  the birds. But the fourth lawyer, whose name was Abraham Lincoln,  45  . He got down from his  46  and gently took the little ones up.

“Never  48 , my little fellows,” said Mr. Lincoln. Then he looked up to find the nest from which they had  49 . It was much higher than he could reach. But Mr. Lincoln could  50 . He put the birds softly, one by one, into their warm home.

A man claiming to be a pastor(牧师) apparently tried to stiff a waiter on a tip, explaining that his work for God allowed him not to leave one.

A photo of the receipt, posted to Reddit.com, shows a bill for $34.93 with an automatic 18 percent gratuity(小费) (or $6.29) added above a blank space for an additional tip.

“I give God 10%,” the diner wrote on the receipt, scratching out the automatic tip. “Why do you get 18?” He then wrote “Pastor” above his signature, and an emphatic “0” where the additional tip would be. (The automatic gratuity, however, had already been added to the total.)

The Reddit user who submitted the image explained in the comments section that the receipt was part of a total bill for a party of 20, which is why the gratuity was automatically added.

“Parties up to eight ... may tip whatever they’d like, but larger parties receive an automatic gratuity," the server wrote. "It’s in the computer; it’s not something I do.”

The server added: “They had no problem with my service, and told me I was great. They just didn’t want to pay when the time came.”

Scribbling(乱涂) notes on receipts has become something of a trend. Earlier this month, the manager of a North Carolina Red Robin surprised an overdue pregnant woman by comping her meal.

“Once seated, a manager came up to us and started talking,” the woman's husband told Consumerist. “He was extremely friendly and jokingly asked my wife if this was her last meal before heading to the hospital.”

When the check came, a note from the manager next to her portion of the bill read: “MOM 2 BEE GOOD LUC.”

“It was a pleasant surprise and made my tired-of-being-pregnant wife a little more cheery,” the man said.

1.What did the pastor mean by saying, “I give God 10%. Why do you get 18?”

A. He was bargaining with the waiter.

B. He didn’t mean to pay the gratuity at all.

C. God gave him the privilege not to pay a gratuity.

D. The gratuity had already been paid by his friends.

2.What do you learn from the article?

A. The pastor paid ten percent gratuity of the meal to God.

B. A party of six diners can choose whatever gratuity they want to pay.

C. According to the husband, the wife enjoyed the process of being pregnant.

D. The pastor paid $34.93 in total for the meal.

3.What does the underlined word “stiff” mean?

A. amuse                     B. abuse             C. persuade                D. fail to pay
