Ben was a waiter in a small restaurant. Ben was always friendly and polite to customers. He enjoyed making his customers happy.

One day a new customer came into the restaurant. Ben went over to him and gave him a menu. The man studied the menu for a while and then gave Ben his order. Ben took the order to the kitchen and then came back into the restaurant to serve other customers.

The new customer called him to his table.

“Waiter,” he said. “It’s hot here. Turn on the air-conditioner.”

“Yes, sir,” said Ben. He smiled at the customer. “No problem.”

Ben went to the kitchen and then came out to serve some other customers. A few minutes later, the new customer called him again.

“That waiter is an idiot!” said the customer, pointing to Ben. “When the temperature was too low and I asked him to turn up the air-conditioner, he turned it up too high. When I asked him to turn it down, he turned it down too much. So I asked him to turn it up again. He can’t do anything right.”

E. Answer the questions (根据短文内容回答下列问题): (共14分)

This letter was sent to a newspaper in Germany

13 October

Dear editor

I am writing to ask what has happened to our youth. They are not as polite, hard-working or clever as my generation(一代人). I will give you two examples.

Last Friday, I got on the underground at 9.15a.m. It was very busy so there were no free seats. There were some teenagers sitting on the seats nearest me. I don’t know why they were not at school. They were talking loudly and laughing. It was difficult to read my newspaper with all the noise. A heavily pregnant(怀孕的) woman and her daughter got on at the next stop, with lots of shopping bags. I expected the teenagers to let them sit down. They saw the woman but did nothing. I had to ask them to give her a seat. They reluctantly(勉强地)did so but give me a rude look. I got off at the next stop and was glad that the teenagers didn’t follow me.

Last Saturday, I had dinner with my friend’s family. I was looking forward to meeting his children, who I hadn’t seen for ten years. During dinner, we started talking world politics. It soon became clear that they didn’t know much. They couldn’t tell me the name or the King of Spain or the President of Italy. All they knew about was the internet and which singers were the most beautiful. In my day, students knew the kings, queens and presidents of every country in Europe.

I worry about the future of Germany. How could these young people become responsible workers and parents? They sit around Macdonald’s after instead of going the library like I did at their age. Maybe they have too much money. Perhaps another reader can give us an idea about what to do with this ‘lost generation’.

Early that morning, Tom didn't go to work as usual. He thought he had caught a cold and phoned the restaurant to ask for leave. But Tom didn't really feel ill enough to stay in bed. Instead, he decided to go to the new shopping mall to buy a watch. The mall was interesting so he spent a few hours looking around. He felt hungry and bought some popcorn(爆米花). Suddenly a large red and blue parrot (鹦鹉) appeared above him and swooped down again and again to eat the popcorn from Tom's packet.

Tom was rather surprised, but he had seen the bird show at Ocean Park. He stretched out his arm and the parrot flew down and happily climbed on to his shoulder, and then on to his head.

The parrot was quite friendly. So Tom just stood there with the parrot on his head.

The crowd of people grew and grew. A newspaper reporter heard the noise, saw the crowd and decided to investigate. This is what happened: the parrot escaped from the owner's flat by flying out of the window. It enjoyed itself during the daytime, but when evening came the bird tried to find its home, without success.

By the time the parrot found Tom, it had been free for two days and it was very hungry. It had had a drink from the fountain but it hadn't had anything to eat at all. Popcorn was not its favourite food, but there was nothing else. So when it saw Tom it was very pleased. It wanted a friend, it needed some food and it was hoping to go home.

Several hours later, the SPCA contacted (联系) the owner. He came to the mall with a bag of peanuts, which the parrot liked even better than popcorn. He put the peanuts into a cage and the parrot hopped in.

Tom relaxed at last. He was tired and hungry, but the Parrot's owner thanked him and even gave him a reward—just enough to buy the watch.

71. Tom didn't go to work that morning because he didn't feel well.

72. In order to feed some birds there Tom bought a packet of popcorn.

73. Tom stood with fear when the parrot climbed on to his shoulder and head.

74. The parrot escaped from a flat two days before it saw Tom in the mall.

75. At that time the homeless parrot was not only hungry but also thirsty.

76. The newspaper reporter found out the owner and contacted him at once.

77. The owner gave Tom a watch, so Tom didn't need to buy one himself.

The Wai Wai are a tribe (部落) of about 250 people who live in the Amazon jungle (亚马逊丛林). This tribe has had little contact with the modern world. In fact, their nearest neighbors, another tribe of native people, live so far away that it takes three weeks to travel between the villages on foot. One of the few Western people to have visited the Wai Wai is Blashford-Snell. In March 2002, he speift two months visiting the tribe and offering them some help.

On the last day of his visit, the village priest (牧师) asked Blashford-Snell a favor. He wanted a grand piano to put in the village church.

"Do you have any idea what a grand piano looks like?" asked Blashford-Snell.

The priest said he had seen pictures of one in a book. Blashford-Snell didn't think he'd ever be able to play the piano but the priest said, "We are musical people." Then he said, "God (上帝) moves in mysterious ways."

Back in England, Blashford-Snell was offered a 360-kilogram grand piano as a gift from the Millennium Gloucester Hotel London. Blashford-Snell and his team flew the piano as far as they could into the jungle by helicopter. But getting the piano from the landing site to the village was no easy job. With the help of a few people from the tribe, they put the piano in a sledge(雪橇)and pulled the sledge by ropes several miles through the jungle to a river. Then they loaded the piano into a boat and started up the river. Finally, they arrived at the foot of the mountain where the tribe lives. With help from more tribe members, they were able to climb to the top of the mountain carrying the piano. The piano had arrived at its new home in the Amazon!

Six months later, Blashford-Snell traveled back to visit the tribe. He helped the Wai Wai record a CD to raise money for the tribe. The CD included a variety of songs and music of the Wai Wai, and the Beatles classic "With a Little Help from My Friends" played by the Wai Wai with the piano!

Annie Oakley was born in 1860 in Ohio. Living on a farm, she quickly learned to shoot (射击). When only 9 years old, she brought in small animals to the family table. By 16, she was selling some of the animals she shot for food. Thus she helped pay off the mortgage (按揭) on the family farm.

One day in 1876, Annie heard of famous Frank Butler. He was travelling about the country performing his shooting on stage. He often accepted challenges(挑战)from people who thought they could outshoot him, but they almost never did. When Annie heard about him, she became excited. "I'll bet I can beat him," she thought. There was only one way to find out. She would challenge him. But would he accept a challenge from a girl? A girl who was only 16? He did accept. It was a close match, but Annie won by a single point. Impressed with Annie's skill, Butler asked her to join his show. She did, and she soon became not only the star of the show but also Mrs. Butler.

Some years later, Annie and Frank joined the famous Buffalo Bill Wild West Show. The cowboys, Native Americans, Pony Express riders, bucking broncos, and stagecoaches each gave their performance. But the favourite of the audiences was usually Annie Oakley. Annie's fame (名声)spread far and wide. To show her excellent skill, she shot in half a playing card from 30 paces and consistently shot a dime flipped in the air. Most breathtaking of all was her shooting off a cigarette held between her husband's lips.

Many stones grew about Annie s shooting ability. The following story is rather exaggerated(夸张). One afternoon, Annie saw a raccoon(浣熊)alone up a tree. She quickly clapped her gun to her shoulder and was about to shoot when the raccoon lifted a paw and said, "Is your name Annie Oakley?

"You're right," .Annie said.

“Then,” said the raccoon, “you can let down your gun. I may as well come down.” With that the animal walked right down from the tree because he considered himself shot.
