24、A Beautiful Reminder

Clara Daly was seated on an Alaska Airlines flight from Boston to Los Angeles with her mother when a flight attendant asked an urgent (紧急的) question over the loudspeaker:“Does anyone on board know American Sign Language (ASL)?”

Clara, 15 at the time, offered to help. The flight attendant came by and explained the situation. “We have a passenger on the plane who's blind and deaf. He is flying home after visiting his sister. He is unable to make any kind of communication with the flight attendants.” she said. The passenger seemed to want something, but he was traveling alone and the flight attendants couldn't understand what he needed.

Clara had been studying American Sign Language for the past year and she knew she would be able to finger spell into the man’s palm (掌心). So she stood up, walked toward the front of the plane, and rested on her knees alongside 64⁃year⁃old Tim Cook. Gently taking his hand, letter by letter, she unlocked his wishes. She signed, “How are you? Are you OK?” Cook asked for some water. When it arrived, Clara returned to her seat. She came by again a bit later because he wanted to know the time. On her third visit, she stopped and stayed awhile. She soon realized Cook didn't need anything. He was lonely and wanted to talk.

So for the next hour, that's what they did. She talked about her family and her plans of becoming a politician in the future. Cook told Clara how he had gradually become blind over time and shared stories of his days as a traveling salesman. Even though he couldn't see her,she looked attentively at his face with such kindness.

People on board thought it was cool. A passenger named Lynette Scribner took a photo and wrote about Clara's act of kindness on the Internet, calling it “a beautiful reminder in this time of too much awfulness…that there are still good people who are willing to look out for each other.”

25、   I really love my job because I enjoy working with small children and like the challenges and awards from the job. I also think my work is important. There was a time when I thought I would never have that sort of career（职业）.

I wasn’t an excellent student because I didn’t do much schoolwork. In my final term I started thinking what I might do and found I didn’t have much to offer. I just accepted that I wasn’t the type to have a career.

I then found myself a job, looking after two little girls. It wasn’t too bad at first. But the problems began when I agreed to live in, so that I would be there if my boss had to go out for business in the evening. We agreed that if I had to work extra hours one week, she’d give me time off the next. But unluckily, it didn’t often work out. I was getting quite tired and feeling very bored, because I had too many late nights and early mornings with the children.

One Sunday, I was in the park with the children, and met Megan who used to go to school with me. I told her about my situation. She suggested that I should do a course and get a qualification（资格证书）if I wanted to work with children. I didn’t think I would be accepted because I didn’t take many exams in school. She persuaded(说服) me to phone the local college and they were really helpful. My experience helped me a lot and I got on a part-time course. I had to leave my job with the family, and got work helping out at a kindergarten.

Now I’ve got a full-time job there. I shall always be thankful to Megan. I wish I had known earlier that you could have a career, even if you aren’t top of the class at school.

A.was paid for extra work B.often worked long hours

A.She found a full-time job. B.She was very bored with children.

A.Less successful students can still have a career.

B.Qualifications are necessary for a career.

C.Hard work makes an excellent student.

D.One must choose the job she like.

26、   It was nearly seven o'clock, when a man walked into a bar, ordered a drink and turned to watch the television.

"Let's talk about your problem," the police officer was saying. "Perhaps we can help you."

The man turned to the bartender(酒吧侍者)and said, "I bet you a hundred dollars he doesn't jump.

The bartender looked at him. "You're offering me a hundred dollars if he jumps? Is that right?"

"Yes. I don't think he'll jump."

The bartender smiled. "OK. You've got a bet."

Then, after about five minutes，the man on the building threw himself off the building and fell to the ground.

The man in the bar turned to the bartender.

"He jumped," he said. "You win."

"I can't take your money," he said. "I knew I couldn't lose. That story was on the six o'clock news. I saw him jump."

"Well, yes, so did I," the man said, "but I didn't think he'd do such a stupid thing twice."
