His smile indicates that he was ________(will) to do the job．

Inside the pleasingly fragrant cafe, So All May Eat(SAME) in downtown Denver ,the spirit ofgenerosityis instantly noticeable :donation box stands in place of a cash register. Customers here pay only what they can afford, no questions asked.A risky business plan, perhaps, but SAME Café has done one unchangeable thing in the Mile High City for six years: Open only at midday, the restaurant allows poor local customers who cannot pay to work as volunteers instead. They can act as waiters and waitresses, and dishwashers, or look after the buildings and equipment for the cafe.   
It’s based on trust, and it’s working all right”, says co-owner Brad Birky, who started the café in 2006.  Previously volunteering at soup kitchens, the Birkys were dissatisfied with the often unhealthy meals they served there. “We wanted to offer quality food in a restaurant where everyone felt comfortable, regardless of their circumstances,” Birky says. SAME’s special lunch menu changes
daily and most food materials are natural and grown by local farmers. The café now averages 65 to 70 customers (and eight volunteers) a day. And the spirit of generosity behind the project appears to be spreading. In early 2007,one volunteer who had cleared snow for his meals during t he long
winter said goodbye to the Birkys, He said he was going to New Orleans to help with the hurricane clearing up,” says Birky.
【小题1】What can we learn about the soup kitchens the Birkys previously worked for?

Robert Fredy was general manager of a large hotel in Ashbury park. New Jersey.

In Twain, many people know what a “motorpool” means. It is   36 known as a place for the maintenance(维修)of official business and government cars.   37 it is a place for vehicle maintenance.
More than ten years ago I came to America on business and I took advantage of the   38  to visit my friend. My friend drove a car to   39  me at the airport, and took me to his home. Out of the   40 , my friend drove his car into the innermost   41 , which had a sign “carpool only”. I   42  what “carpool” meant. I felt doubted whether he was going to a motorpool.   43  I thought myself clever in asking:
“Is there anything wrong with the car?”
“Nothing.   44 ?” said he.
“Well then, why are you going to carpool?” I   45 .
My friend couldn’t help   46  and told me that“carpool”refers to the lane that only the cars with two or more   47  can drive in. I felt rather embarrassed on   48  that.
After dinner, my friend’s neighbor came over to ask whether he   49  “carpool” the next day.  “ 50 ,” my friend said, “I will accompany my friend to go shopping tomorrow.” I was   51 again, wondering why he could not “carpool” with him since we had “carpooled”   52 . My friend explained to me again that the “carpool” that his neighbor   53  meant they in turn drove the car to work so as to save energy. The first “carpool” is a noun,   54  the second “carpool” is a verb. It is really   55  for newcomers in America to understand it in a short time.

Martin was grown-up, and for his birthday that year his father gave him a   36  without any pictures in it!
Martin’s father found he was not   37  about it, and told him, “Son, this isn’t just any   38  book; it’s a magic (有魔力的) book. But to discover its magic you’ll have to   39  it.”
Well, that was better. Martin liked   40  to do with magic. He started reading it,  41  he wasn’t very willing to.
The next morning, his   42  asked him, “Have you found the magic   43  ? ”
So… there was a key to find! Martin flicked through (快速翻阅) the book, but there was no   44  of the key.
And then his father   45  him, “You won’t find it like that . You have to read the book.”
Martin didn’t have much patience (耐心), thinking his father just told a   46  . A little later, his little sister, Angela, asked him   47  the book. After several days, she   48  shouted, “I’ve found the key!” And she wouldn’t stop   49  all the places she had visited using the magic key.
This made Martin read the book again. At first it was a   50 ; there wasn’t even one single   51  in the book. But, gradually, Martin became   52  the adventurous (冒险的) prince’s life. Then, suddenly, he was there.
The book   53   was the key!
It was true that every time he   54  it, he felt going to its valleys and seas, and he lived the adventures of the prince.
From then on, with every new book, Martin never   55  being attracted by the letters and words inside.
