It was at 6 a.m. that I arrived in the hospital kitchen. “Hi, I’m Janet.” I tried to sound cheerful, although I already knew that it was    21    to work with Rose.

Rose, a middle-aged woman, stopped what she was doing and    22    me over her glasses. I could tell from her expression that she wasn’t    23    to see a student worker.

“What do you want me to do? Start the coffee?” Rose    24    and went away. I filled the pot with cold water and began making coffee when Rose suddenly    25    and took over, “That’s not the    26    to make coffee.” I was    27    as I just followed the steps our supervisor (视导员) showed us.

   28    I did pleased her. All morning her eyes missed nothing and her words    29   me. Totally tired, I came home late that afternoon. Fighting back    30   , I thought of my situation alone in my room. Should I see if my supervisor would change my    31   ? But I didn’t want to    32   . Then I had the answer — I needed to    33    her.

Working with Rose the next morning, I  34    her sharp words and did things in her way as much as possible. Things began to change over the next few days. She became  35    to me. As I worked with this woman, I listened to her — something no one else had done.

I never see Rose again after that summer, but I still remember her. That summer I learned a lesson that love is the best way to turn an enemy into a friend.

I went over my grandmother’s house today and she didn’t have time for me. You see, the lady’s husband downstairs died and my Grandmother wanted to make some cookies for her. My grandmother did not analyze (分析) how the lady treated her, or if the lady needed any cookies, or even if the lady would like the cookies. She didn’t think how much the lady has done for her. She simply began baking.
My Grandmother turned 94 last week and this I believe is her secret to life. My grandmother is generous (慷慨) and hard-working in a way that is rare for our time. She lives by a simple belief: if someone needs your help, you help. Never mind all the analyzing and thinking whether the person deserves or appreciates the help. My grandmother doesn’t sit around thinking about who might be making use of her: she simply does what is needed.
At 94, she is busy in life. She is making a blanket for a new great grandchild, and worried that I don’t have enough kitchen towels for my home. She is bringing soup to a sick neighbor, and teaching the new wife of her cousin (who is 88) how to cook Italian food.
My grandmother had every right to give up, but she didn’t — and amazingly life did bring her good things, like a husband with twinkling blue eyes who was much ahead of his time and believed that men should do an equal amount of cooking and cleaning in the home, three beautiful children (my father and two aunts), 22 grandchildren, and five great grandchildren. My grandmother is not afraid to give someone she barely knows a bowl of soup. She never keeps herself out of the world.

A. she thought the lady was too busy
B. she would make them as thanks to her
C. she thought she should do something for the lady at the special time

B. My grandfather does not treat women in an unfair way.
C. This is a family in which there are nearly 30 people now.
