In college I had a part-time job at a shop downtown that sold doughnuts(a kind of cake)and coffee. 1 on a block where a dozen buses stopped, it provided food to people who had a few minutes to wait for their 2 .
I poured coffee in the cups and 3 waited on customers who'd point through the glass case and say, “No, not that one, the two rows over.”
Every afternoon around four o'clock, a group of school children would 4 into the shop.Adults would glance in, see the crowd and pass on.I didn't 5 if the kids waited for the bus in the shop.
I came to know them 6 well.The older girls would tell me about their boyfriends, the younger ones would talk about school.The boys were more quiet, choosing not to 7 their secrets, but still, they'd wait every day in the store until their bus came.
Sometimes I'd hand out bus fare when a ticket went 8 -always repaid the next day.When it snowed, the kids and I would wait anxiously for a very 9 bus.They'd call their parents to let them know they were okay.At 10 time I'd lock the door, and the kids and I would wait in the warm store until their bus finally arrived.
I 11 a lot of doughnuts on snowy days.I enjoyed my pal(伙伴),but it never 12 to me that I played an important 13 in their lives-until one Saturday afternoon when a serious-looking man entered the store and asked if I was the girl who worked weekdays around four o'clock.I 14 it was true, and he introduced himself 15 the father of two of my favorites-a brother and sister team.
“I want you to know I appreciate what you do for my children.I 16 about them having to take two buses to get home.It 17 a lot that they can wait here and you are keeping an eye on them.”
I told him I wasn't a big 18 and that I enjoyed the kids.
“No, you don't understand.When they're with the Doughnuts Lady, I know they're 19 .It is a big deal.And I'm grateful.”
So I was the Doughnuts Lady.I not only had received a 20 , I had become a land mark.

7 wrong I was!The misunderstanding began at the airport.I was looking for a 8 telephone to give my American friend Danny a 9 and tell her that I had arrived.A friendly old man saw me looking lost and asked 10 he could help me.
“Yes, ”I said.“I want to give my friend a ring.”
“Well, that's 11 , ”he exclaimed.“Are you getting 12 ?But aren't you a bit 13 ?”
“Who is talking about marriage?”I replied.“I 14 want to give my friend a ring to tell her I've arrived.Can you tell me 15 the phone box is?”
“Oh!“he said, “There's phone downstairs.”
When at last we 16 meet up, Danny explained the misunderstandings to me.“Don't worry, ”she said to me.“I had so many 17 at first.There are lots of words which the Americans 18 differently in meaning from us British.You'll soon get used to 19 funny things they say.Most of the 20 British and American people understand each other!”

It was a market day, so people and traffic had been pouring into the town since early morning.
1 it was an old town, even the main street was very 2 and soon became overcrowded.There was not enough 3 for all the people on the path at the roadside, 4 they overflowed(涌向)into the road, 5 danger to their lives from 6 cars and lorries(货车),the drivers of 7 were constantly blowing their horns(喇叭)to 8 people to get out of their 9 .
Yet it was a 10 scene.Peasants walked along the street, their heads piled high with baskets or beautifully woven blankets which they hoped to 11 to the townsfolk(赶集的人).Men with carts(手推车) 12 their way along, shouting their goods at the top of their 13 .They were selling apples, oranges and grapes-the 14 of their fields.
15 it all, women in bright summer clothes made their way, laughing and talking, 16 children rushed in and out of the crowds screaming with laughter when they didn't ask for something they could not have, or crying with 17 because they were lost.
The noise went on all day.People did not even stop for a meal, but preferred to buy bits of meat cooked over a fire or bread or ice-cream from the street sellers.The 18 from this and from all the activities of the day began to disappear, leaving the streets 19 and only the rubbish 20 sadly wandering in the cooling night wind.

Dear Jose ,
You have asked me for suggestions on how to get along in the United States.It is difficult to give advice, but I have found the following“dos”and“don'ts”helpful.
As a 1 , it isn't easy to find anyone to 2 in a big city.However, here are some suggestions.First get or borrow 3 !Walk him several times a day!Americans love dogs and usually stop 4 to anyone with a dog.Then, try to eat in a cafeteria(食堂).People generally 5 the same tables and will sometimes talk to you 6 they see that you are a(an) 7 .Next, take your dirty clothes to a laundry(洗衣店)!It takes about an hour to wash and dry, and many people 8 there.They often pass the 9 talking to the other customers. 10 ask for information from a woman, if you are a 11 ; and from a man, if you are a woman!It seems to get 12 results for a reason I can't understand.Learn the 13 “Please”, “Thank you”, and“You're welcome”before you come and use them all the time!They usually work like magic(魔术).
There are some things you shouldn't.Don't tell the truth when people 14 “How are you?”They only 15 the answer to be“Fine”.Never ask people their 16 -especially women!Everyone wants to be young.Don't tell heavy people they are 17 .Tell them they are losing 18 .Everyone here wants to be 19 .Don't be late for appointment!When someone says six o'clock, 20 be there by six.Americans respect time and expect everyone to be“on time”.
Above all, don't worry!Just follow my advice and bring a lot of money and you will get along.I hope I have been of some help to you.
