I stopped at a gas station(加油站) about 50 miles from Oklahoma City, where I was planning to stop and visit a friend. While I was standing in line at the cash register(收款台), I said hello to an older couple who were also paying for gas.I took off, but had gone only a few miles when black smoke poured from the back of my car. I stopped and wondered what I should do. A car pulled up behind me. It was the couple I had spoken to at the gas station. They said they would take me to my friends. We chatted on the way into the city, and when I got out of the car, the husband gave me his business card.I wrote him and his wife a thank-you note for helping me. Soon afterward, I received a Christmas present from them. Their note that came with it said that helping me had made their holidays meaningful.Years later, I drove to a meeting in a nearby town in the morning. In late afternoon I returned to my car and found that I d left the lights on all day, and the battery(电池) was dead. Then I noticed that the Friendly Ford dealershipa shop selling carswas right next door. I walked over and found two salesmen in the showroom.“Just how friendly is Friendly Ford?” I asked and explained my trouble. They quickly drove a pickup truck to my car and started it. They would accept no payment, so when I got home, I wrote them a note to say thanks. I received a letter back from one of the salesmen. No one had ever taken the time to write him and say thank you, and it meant a lot, he said.“Thank you”two powerful words. Theyre easy to say and mean so much.24The author planned to stop at Oklahoma City _. Ato see his parents Bto visit a friend Cto pay at the cash register Dto have more gas for his car25The words “took off” underlined in Paragraph 2 mean “_”.Aturned off Bput up C moved off Dset up 26The battery of the authors car was dead because _. Asomething went wrong with the lights Bthe meeting lasted a whole dayChe drove too long a distance Dhe forgot to turn off the lights27By telling his own experiences, the author tries to show _. Ahow to write a thank-you letter Bthe importance of expressing thanks Cthe kind-heartedness of the older people Dhow to deal with car problemsCOdland remembers like it was yesterday working in an expensive French restaurant in Denver. The ice cream he was serving fell onto the white dress of a rich and important woman.Thirty years have passed, but Odland cant get the memory out of his mind, nor the womans kind reaction(反应). She was shocked, regained calmness and, in a kind voice, told the young Odland. “Its OK. It wasnt your fault.” When she left the restaurant, she also left the future Fortune 500 CEO(总裁) with a life lesson: You can tell a lot about a person by the way he or she treats the waiter.Odland isnt the only CEO to have made this discovery. Instead, it seems to be one of those few laws of the land that every CEO learns on the way up. Its hard to get a dozen CEOs to agree about anything, but most agree with the Waiter Rule. They say how others treat the CEO says nothing. But how others treat the waiter is like a window into the soul（灵魂）.Watch out for anyone who pulls out the power card to say something like, “I could buy this place and fire you,” or “I know the owner and I could have you fired.” Those who say such things have shown more about their character(人品) than about their wealth and power.The CEO who came up with it, or at least first wrote it down, is Raytheon CEO, Bill Swanson. He wrote a best-selling book called Swansons Unwritten Rules of Management. “A person who is nice to you but rude to the waiter, or to others, is not a nice person,” Swanson says. “I will never offer a job to the person who is sweet to the boss but turns rude to someone cleaning the tables.”28. What happened after Odland dropped the ice cream onto the womans dress?A. He was fired. B. He was blamed. C. The woman left the restaurant at once D. The woman comforted him29. Odland learned one of his life lessons from _.A. the advice given by the CEOs B. an article in FortuneC. his experience as a waiter. D. an interesting best-selling book30. According to the text, most CEOs have the same opinion about _.A. the Waiter Rule B. Fortune 500 companies C. Swansons book D. the Management Rules31. From the text we can learn that _.A. one should be nicer to important people B. one should respect others no matter who they are C. CEOs often have meals in expensive restaurants D. CEOs often show their power before othersDSan Francisco has its cable cars. Seattle has its Space Needle. And, Longview has its squirrel bridge. The bridge, which has attracted international attention, is now a local landmark. The Nutty Narrows Bridge was built in 1963 by a local builder, Amos Peters, to give squirrels a way to cross the busy road without being killed by passing cars. The original bridge was built over Olympia Way. Before the bridge was built, squirrels had to avoid traffic to and from the Park Plaza office building where office staff put out nuts for the squirrels. Many times, Peters and others who worked in and near Park Plaza witnessed squirrels being run over. One day Peters found a dead squirrel with a nut still in its mouth, and that days coffee break discussion turned into squirrel safety. The group of businessmen cooked up the squirrel bridge idea and formed a committee（委员会） to ask the blessing of the City Council(市政会).The Council approved（赞成）, and Councilwoman Bess LaRiviere named the bridge “Nutty Narrows.”After the bridge was designed, Amos Peters and Bill Hutch built the 60-foot bridge and it cost $1,000. It didnt take long before reports of squirrels using the bridge started. Squirrels were even seen guiding their young and teaching them the ropes. The story was picked up by the media, and Nutty Narrows became known in newspapers all over the world. Peters died in 1984, and a ten-foot wooden squirrel sculpture was placed near the bridge in memory of its builder and his devotion to the project. 32. The Nutty Narrows Bridge was built in order to _. A. offer squirrels a place to eat nuts B. protect squirrels C. help improve traffic D. set up a local landmark 33. What happened over the coffee break discussion?A. The committee got the Councils blessing. B. A councilwoman named the bridgeC. The squirrel bridge idea was born D. A squirrel was found dead. 34. What does the underlined phrase “teaching them the ropes” probably means in the text?A. Directing them to store food for winter B. Giving them a ropeC. Teaching them a lesson D. Showing them how to use the bridge.35. What can we learn about Amos Peters?A. He was awarded a medal for building the bridge. B. He donated $1,000 to build the bridgeC. He was a member of the City Council D. He is remembered for his love of animals 第二节 (共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分)根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。Taking good notes is a time-saving skill that will help you to become a batter student in several ways. 36 .
