Before my recent graduation, the last project of the term was called “Smile”. The class was asked to go out and   36   at three people and record their  37 .

Soon after we were given the  38   , my husband and I went out to McDonald’s one cold morning. We were standing in   39   , waiting to be  40   , when suddenly everyone around us began to back away. A feeling of  41  rose up inside of me as I wondered what happened.

As I   42  around I smelled a horrible dirty smell. Behind me were two poor homeless men. As I looked at the short man close to me, he was smiling and his blue eyes searched for   43 .

He said “Good day” as he   44 the few coins. The waitress asked him what they wanted. He said, “Coffee is all, Miss.” That was all they could   45 .

I   46  felt the urge and actually hugged him. That was  47  I noticed all the eyes in the restaurant were set on  48 . I smiled and asked the waitress for two more breakfast meals on   49 trays(托盘). I then walked to the table that the men had   50  as a resting spot. I put the trays on the table and laid my  51 on the short man’s cold hand. He said “Thank you” with tears in his eyes.

I  52 this story as my project. My instructor read it and said, “Can I  53 this with your classmates?” I nodded. At that moment I found something more  54 than a simple smile. I graduated with one of the most important  55 I would ever learn, unconditional acceptance.

It gives me great pleasure today to say a few words in praise of a man we will all miss very much. To be honest, I can’t imagine we will do without him when he’s gone. Bill Masters almost single-handed built up our sales force in the Houston area and developed the market position that we enjoy today. In only six years, he has brought the firm from a very low fifth position in the area sales to the point where we now outsell all but one of our competitors. Not only have we got 37 per cent of the market under Bill’s leadership; we are increas??ing our share with each passing month.

As you know, the company has moved Bill to northern California to work his sales magic in one of this company’s competitive areas. But we know that if anyone can do it, Bill Masters can, and I know you all join me in wishing him the best of luck in his new work.

The speech was made ________.

A. at a welcome meeting                            B. after someone died

C. when somebody was leaving            D. when they had a new manager

How long did Masters work there?

A. 37 years.                            B. Less than 5 years.

C. About six years.                      D. Since he began to work.

When Bill started to work in Houston area, he had to help him.

A. many people     B. nobody      C. about 37 people        D. very few people

Bill increased the company’s sale________.

A. by 37 per cent every month             B. to the second largest in the area
