About a month ago, while in the drive through at Starbucks, I noticed a woman in a car behind me who appeared to be having a bad day. There were two kids in the back who seemed to have too much      at 8 am on a Sunday morning, because they were shouting loudly. The       moved slowly and at one point while I was pulling the car forward, the sad woman behind me      my car. I could tell this      her. The entire time that I waited in line for my coffee this woman didn’t      .

  Looking back at her I could tell she was wondering “Why me? Why today?” When I       up and paid for my coffee I requested that the barista(咖啡吧员) of Starbucks give the woman behind me a smile card and paid for her coffee.

  Just 30 minutes later I was again       in line at Starbucks. I heard a slam of a car door but thought nothing of it. I was      when the same woman came up to my driver’s side window. She      me a twenty-dollar bill and the same smile card I had given to her. She smiled and said, “These are for you. You are the     one who gave these to me      , right? All I need you to do is ask the barista to give the       back to me.” It was amazing! It was as if this woman had been waiting to show her       for what I had done!

  When she got back into her       today she was all smiles. I could tell she had the same feeling as I had on that early Sunday morning. It was nice to have my coffee paid for, but what made me feel even better was seeing the happiness and smile on her face.

  As I pulled out of the drive-thru, she waved and yelled out, “Have a      day!” I yelled back “You too!” and waved her goodbye.

Medalists of the 1948 London Olympic Games look back on their summer of victory.

SAMMY Lee, 91, U.S.

GOLD AND BRONZE, DIVING

I first had my Olympic dream at 12, when they held the 1932 Olympics in Los Angeles. My father and I were at a grocery store, and I asked, “What are all the flags doing here?” He said, “We are having the Olympic Games. That’s where they honor the greatest athletes in the world.” I said, “Papa, someday I’m going to be an Olympic champ.”

Walking up the 10-meter platform, I thought to myself, “I’ve waited 16 years for this moment. Am I going to win?” So I prayed to God that I was most deserving of winning the Games.

DAVID BOND, 90, BRITAIN

GOLD, SAILING

During the war, I spent six years in Royal Air Force. I think in general, the 1948 Olympics meant very little to most people. We were too busy after the war to be worried about sport very much anyway.

Our team had about six weeks before the Olympics down at Torquay and we went out sailing every day.

Winning gold was quite something. It was nice to stand on the platform with lots of people cheering. We celebrated by going to a big dance.

MICHAEL LAPAGE, 88, BRITAIN

SILVER, ROWING

I started rowing when I was 14. I joined the navy in 1942. In 1945 the war came to an end and I started rowing again.

In 1948 we were still on rations (配给供应): 4 oz. of red meat a week. But the United States had all the meat they wanted. They were the favorites to win.

On the day of the final, we led the Americans at the start, but their stronger staying power took them through to win. There were no ribbons on the medals, so we just showed them round the family.

THOMAS GODWIN, 91, BRITAIN

BRONZE, CYCLING

At 14 I left school and got a job delivering groceries on a bicycle, which excited my interest in cycling. When the war broke out, I volunteered but was held back, so I continued riding.

After my team won our bronze medals, we went home just round the corner and had a sit-down and a chat and a laugh. It was a different world. Money was never, never thought about.

1. According to the passage, Sammy Lee ___________.

A.was 28 when he attended the 1948 Olympics

B.never thought he could win medals in diving

C.found that he has a talent for sports at age 12

D.prepared for the 1948 Olympics for 16 years

2. Michael Lapage blamed his team’s loss of the gold medal on their ___________.

A.weak will                              B.poor skill

C.poor nutrition                          D.hurried preparation

3. What did David Bond and Thomas Godwin have in common?

A.They both took part in a team event.

B.A lot of money was awarded to them.

C.The 1948 Olympics meant little to them.

D.They both served in the army during World War II.

4.What would be the best title for the passage?

A.Long-lived medalists                     B.The 1948 Olympics

C.Famous athletes                        D.Great in 1948
