5．In ancient Egypt，the pharaoh（法老） treated the poor message runner like a prince when he arrived at the palace，if he brought good news．However，if the exhausted runner had the misfortune to bring the pharaoh unhappy news，his head was cut off．
Shades of that spirit spread over today's conversations．Once a friend and I packed up some peanut butter and sandwiches for an outing．As we walked light-heartedly out of the door，picnic basket in hand，a smiling neighbor looked up at the sky and said，"Oh boy，bad day for a picnic．The weatherman says it's going to rain．"I wanted to strike him on the face with the peanut butter and sandwiches．Not for his stupid weather report，for his smile．
Several months ago I was racing to catch a bus．As I breathlessly put my handful of cash across the Greyhound counter，the sales agent said with a broad smile．"Oh that bus left five minutes ago．"Dreams of head-cutting!
It's not the news that makes someone angry．It's the unsympathetic attitude with which it's delivered．Everyone must give bad news from time to time，and winning professionals do it with the proper attitude．A doctor advising a patient that she needs an operation does it in a caring way．A boss informing an employee he didn't get the job takes on a sympathetic tone．Big winners know，when delivering any bad news，they should share the feeling of the receiver．
Unfortunately，many people are not aware of this．When you're tired from a long flight，has a hotel clerk cheerfully said that your room isn't ready yet？When you had your heart set on the toast beef，has your waiter merrily told you that he just served the last piece？It makes you as traveler or diner want to land your fist right on their unsympathetic faces．
Had my neighbor told me of the upcoming rainstorm with sympathy，I would have appreciated his warning．Had the Greyhound salesclerk sympathetically informed me that my bus had already left，I probably would have said，"Oh，that's all right，I'll catch the next one．"Big winners，when they hear bad news，deliver bombs with the emotion the bombarded（被轰炸的） person is sure to have．

4．Shay and his father had walked past a park where some boys Shay knew were playing baseball．Shay asked，"Do you think they'll let me play？"Shay's father knew that most of the boys would not want someone like Shay on their team，but the father also understood that if his son，mentally and physically disabled，were allowed to play，it would give him a much-needed sense of belonging and some confidence．
Shay's father approached one of the boys on the field and asked if Shay could play，not expecting much．The boy looked around and said，"We're losing by six runs （分） and the game is in the eighth inning （局）．I guess he can be on our team and we'll try to put him in to bat in the final inning．"
Shay struggled over to the team's bench and put on a team shirt with a broad smile and his father had a small tear in his eye and warmth in his heart．The boys saw the father's joy at his son being accepted．
In the bottom of the eighth inning，Shay's team scored a few runs but was still behind by three．In the top of the final inning，Shay put on a glove and played in the field．Even though no hits came his way，he was obviously joyful just to be in the game and on the field．In the bottom of the final inning，Shay's team scored again．Now，Shay was scheduled to be next at bat．Would they let Shay bat and give away their chance to win the game？
Surprisingly，Shay was given the bat．Everyone knew that a hit was almost impossible．The first pitch （投） came and Shay missed．The pitcher again took a few steps forward to throw the ball softly towards Shay．As the pitch came in，Shay swung at the ball and hit a slow ground ball right back to the pitcher．
The pitcher could have easily thrown the ball to the first baseman and Shay would have been out and that would have been the end of the game．Instead，the pitcher threw the ball right over the head of the first baseman，beyond the reach of all teammates．The audience and the players from both teams started screaming，"Shay，run to first!"Never in his life had Shay ever run that far but made it to first base，wide-eyed and shocked．
Everyone shouted，"Run to second!"Catching his breath，Shay awkwardly ran towards second．By the time Shay rounded towards second base，the smallest guy on their team，who had a chance to be the hero for his team for the first time，could have thrown the ball to the second baseman，but he understood the pitcher's intentions and he too intentionally threw the ball high and far over the third baseman's head．
All were screaming，"Shay，Shay，Shay，all the way Shay．"Shay reached third base when one opposing player ran to help him and shouted，"Shay，run to third．"As Shay rounded third，all were on their feet，crying，"Shay，run home!"Shay ran to home，stepped on the home base and was cheered as the hero who won the game for his team．
That day，the boys from both teams helped bring a piece of true love and humanity into this world．Shay didn't make it to another summer and died that winter，having never forgotten being the hero and making his father so happy and coming home and seeing his mother tearfully hug her little hero of the day!

3．Compassion is a desire within us to help others．With effort，we can translate compassion into actions．An experience last weekend showed me this is true．I work part-time in a supermarket across from a building for the elderly．These old people are our main customers，and it's not hard to lose patience over their slowness．But last Sunday，one aged gentleman appeared to teach me a valuable lesson．This untidy man walked up to my register（收款机）with a box of biscuits．He said he was out of cash，had just moved into his room，and had nothing in his cupboards．He asked if we could let him have the food on trust．He promised to repay me the next day．
I couldn't help staring at him．I wondered what kind of person he had been ten or twenty years before，and what he would be like if luck had gone his way．I had a hurt in my heart for this kind of human soul，all alone in the world．I told him that I was sorry，but store rules didn't allow me to do so．I felt stupid and unkind saying this，but I valued my job．
Just then，another man，standing behind the first，spoke up．If anything，he looked more pitiable．"Change it to me，"was all he said．
What I had been feeling was pity．Pity is soft and safe and easy．Compassion，on the other hand，is caring in action．I thanked the second man but told him that was not allowed either．Then I reached into my pocket and paid for the biscuits myself．I reached into my pocket because these two men had reached into my heart and taught me compassion．

23．What does the writer learn from his experience？B
A．Wealth is more important than anything else
B．Helping others is easier said than done
C．Experience is better gained through practice
D．Obeying the rules means more than compassion．

2．Harrington's experience opened her eyes to business possibilities．When McDonald's decided it wanted a new bun（面包）supplier，Harrington became determined to win the contract，even though she had no experience running a bakery．
"If you have a dream，you can't wait for people to call you，"she says．"So I'd visit a mill（磨坊）and send them photos of myself in a baker's hat and jacket，holding a sign that said‘I want to be your baker．'"After four years and 32interviews，her persistence paid off．
Harrington sealed the deal with a handshake，sold her franchises，invested everything she owned，and borrowed﹩13.5 million．
The Tennessee Bun Company opened ahead of schedule in 1997，in time for a fall in U．S．fast-food sales for McDonald's．Before Harrington knew it，she was down to her last﹩20，000，not enough to cover payroll．And her agreement with McDonald's required that she sell her buns exclusively（唯一地）to the company．
But Harrington worked out an agreement to supply Pepperidge Farm as well．"McDonald's could see a benefit if our production went up and prices went down，and no benefit if we went out of business，"she says．"That deal saved us．"
Over the next eight years，Harrington branched out even more：She started her own trucking business，added a cold-storage company，and now has three bakeries．
Speed is still a priority：It takes 11people at the main bakery to turn out 60，000buns an hour for clients across 40states，South America，and the Caribbean．
The current economy，Harrington acknowledges，is challenging．Some of her clients'sales have declined，but she's found new clients and improved efficiencies to help keep the company's double-digit growth．
"This is more than a job，"says Harrington．"It's a mission．I'm always thinking．How can we best serve our employees？If we support them，they'11do their best to look after our clients．That's how it works here．"

B．Harrington needed start-up costs of $20，000in a11．
C．Harrington had no trouble paying the salary of the staff．
D．It could sell buns to none but McDonald's．
34．Why did McDonald's later agree Harrington could provide bun for Pepperidge Farm？C
A．Because McDonald's could foresee it would benefit itself in the long run．
B．Because McDonald's had common interest with Pepperidge Farm．
