单选题Mrs. Janes gave music lessons at a school. She had a good voice and enjoyed singing, except that some of her high tones sounded like a gate that had been forgotten to oil. Mrs. Janes knew her weakness well, and took every chance she could to practice these high tones. As she lived in a small house, where she could not practice without disturbing the rest of the family, she usually went for long walks along the country roads whenever she had time and practiced her high tones there. Whenever she heard a car or a person coming along the road, she stopped and waited until she could no longer be heard before she started practicing again, because she was a shy person. One afternoon, a fast, opened car came up behind her so silently and so fast that she didn't hear it until it was only a few yards from her. She was singing some of her highest and most difficult tones at that time and as the car passed; she saw an anxious expression came over the driver's face. He stopped his car suddenly, jumped out and began to examine all the tyres carefully. Mrs. Janes didn' t dare to tell him what noise he had heard really was, so he got back into the car and drove off.

单选题When I opened the first "Body Shop" in 1976, what I wanted to do was to earn(挣) enough money to feed my children. Today the "Body Shop" is a great company growing fast all around the world. In the years since we began, I have learned a lot. Much of what I have learned will be found in this book, because I believe that we, as a company, have something worth saying about how to run a successful business without giving up what you really believe in. It's not an ordinary business book. It is not just about my life, either. The message is that to succeed in business you have to be different. Business can be fun, and can be run with love and do good. In business, as in life, I need to enjoy myself, to have a feeling of my family and to feel excited by something unusual. I have always wanted the people who work for the "Body Shop" to feel the same way. Now this book sends these ideas out into the world, and makes them public. I'd like to think there are no limits(界限) to our "family", and no limits to what can be done. I find that an exciting thought. I hope you do, too.

单选题Reagan was walking down the street on his way to interview for a minimum wage job. He happened to cross paths with Bouvier, who was laying rock salt on the ground outside his restaurant, Papa Roux, after an ice storm had hit the area earlier in the morning. Bouvier said the 18-year-old approached him and asked how far it was to 10th and Sherman, Bouvier said the distance was at least seven miles, so he told Reagan that he would be better off taking a bus instead of walking, especially considering the freezing temperature. Reagan said "thank you" and kept on his way to the job interview. Later, Bouvier and his wife were driving to grab coffee, and they came across Reagan again-still walking. So they offered him a ride. Reagan shared with the couple that he was on his way to a shop to interview for a job, and he did not have money for bus fare. Reagan also shared that his mother had passed away and he was left to care for his two younger sisters. After his mom died a couple of years ago, he ended up dropping out of high school without obtaining a diploma. After hearing the teen' s story, Bouvier told Reagan that even if he was offered the shop job, he would hire him and double his salary. Bouvier was impressed with the teen' s ambition and work ethic. Reagan accepted the job. He cannot believe how everything turned out for him saying, "I'm just too excited, just excited to start." Bouvier wanted to share the encounter with his friends, so he wrote about it on Facebook. The story is going around, with more than 15,000 likes so far. People are applauding the teen's work ethic and Bouvier's generosity. One person wrote, "You are a blessing from above, and some good will come to you." Another added, "So kindness does exist. Warms my heart ! " In addition, IndyGo, the local public transportation system, gave Reagan a free one-year pass.

单选题I' ve loved my mother' s desk since I was just tall enough to see above the top of it as mother sat writing letters. Standing by her chair, looking at the ink bottle, pens, and white paper, I decided that the act of writing must be the more wonderful thing in the world. Years later, during her final illness, mother kept different things for my sister and brother."But the desk," she'd said again, "it's for Elizabeth." I never saw her angry, never saw her cry. I knew she loved me; she showed it in action. But as a young girl, I wanted heart-to-heart talks between mother and daughter. They never happened. And a gulf opened between us. Iwas "too emotional". But she lived "on the surface". As years passed I had my own family. I loved my mother and thanked her for our happy family. I wrote to her in careful words and asked her to let me know in any way she chose that she did forgive me. I posted the letter and waited for her answer. None came. My hope turned to disappointment, then little interest and, finally, peace—it seemed that nothing happened. I couldn't be sure that the letter had even got to mother. I only knew that I had written it, and I could stop trying to make her into someone she was not. Now the present of her desk told, as she' d never been able to, that she was pleased that writing was my chosen work. I cleaned the desk carefully and found some papers inside—a photo of my father and a one-page letter, folded and refolded many times. Give me an answer, my letter asks, in any way you choose. Mother, you always chose the act that speaks louder than words.
