Not too long ago ,an incident that happened at Walt Disney touched me greatly．A guest 36 out of our Polynesian Village resort（度假胜地）at Walt Disney was asked how she 37 her visit．She told the front-desk clerk she had had a (n) 38 vacation ,but was heartbroken about 39 several rolls of Kodak color film she had not yet 40 ．At that moment she was particularly 41 over the loss of the pictures she had shot at our Polynesian Luau , 42 this was a memory she especially treasured．
Now ,please understand that we have no written service rules 43 lost photos in the park． 44 ,the clerk at the front desk 45 Disney’s idea of caring for our 46 ．She asked the woman to leave her a couple rolls of 47 film ,promising she would take care of the rest of our show at Polynesian Luau．
Two weeks later the guest received a 48 at her home．In it were photos of all the actors of our show, 49 signed by each performer．There were also 50 of the public procession（游行队伍）and fireworks in the park ,taken by the front-desk clerk in her own 51 after work．I happened to know this 52 because this guest wrote us a letter．She said that 53 in her life had she received such good service from any business．
Excellent 54 does not come from policy (政策性的)handbooks．It comes from people who 55 —and from a culture that encourages and models that attitude．

Last January I was given a chance to work in another country. At first, I lived a 36 life, but soon I met a group of new friends and they were really nice.
Then something 37 happened. One of our friends suffered from kidney stones (肾结石), which had to be 38 surgically as soon as possible. But it was not as 39 as that! Our friend could not 40 the operation, which put him into deep 41 . I didn’t know how to help him because I didn’t have any money either. 42 , I never lost hope. Instead I tried to think of other 43 and told him not to worry because everything would be all right.
Before I left the hospital, I talked to the surgeon and asked him to do the surgery, saying I would pay the expenses the next day 44 I had that kind of money. Well, I must have been 45 because the surgeon agreed to do it! But how was I going to get that much money?
All I knew was that I needed to help my friend! Although it could be 46 to deal with this kind of situation, I decided to make some efforts. I tried to borrow money but failed. I tried 47 my things but no one wanted them. Then I had the idea of talking to my 48 . I asked him if I could have my next two months’ salary in advance—without even thinking on how I would 49 for two months with no money. He was surprised and asked me the reason. I told him that I had a friend who was really in need. 50 I convinced him too and then he gave my two months’ salary without any 51 !
Upon getting the money, I ran to the hospital and paid all the bills. My friend didn’t know how to thank me. I just said, “Come on! Give me a 52 !”
Friendship may not only be found at the happy moment but sometimes you can find it on the 53 time in your life! I’ve done a good thing by being a (an) 54 friend and I think it is well worth the 55 .

Comedian Groucho Mark said, “Those are my principles. If you don’t like them, I have others.”
You and I have principles and we also have 31 . I have opinions about what I think is right or wrong or good or bad. But they’re only opinions —I could be 32 ! I won’t try to build my life around my opinions, 33 I’ll try to keep to my principles.
A 15-year-old boy learned a valuable 34 about life principles. One day, he found a wallet that 35 $127 as well as a woman’s 36 . He jumped onto his 37 and went to her house. He told her he found her wallet and she gave him a big 38 . She also gave him twenty dollars.
That evening the boy told his parents about the 39 and his father said, “I don’t think you should have 40 $20 for doing what you should have done. A person shouldn’t be rewarded for being 41 .”
He considered his father’s statement and 42 that he would return the money. He 43 biked to the lady’s home and gave her back the money. She didn’t want to 44 it, but he told her she had to — that his father 45 something to him that he had 46 realized before.
When ideals such as honesty and a personal standard of always doing the right thing guide our every action and decision, we 47 develop a good character. These great principles 48 our lives and make us into a person of 49 . They teach confidence. That boy is 50 to be raised by a wise father who had the wisdom to say, “Those are my principles.”

Twist was the name of an old champion racing horse. He was past thirty years old, but the heart of the true 36 still beat with the great spirit. However, I knew little about the 37 that the old horse’s spirit would have on my daughter.
My daughter Stacy had ever had a 38 experience with a runaway horse. She was just eight at the time, and a terrifying 39 accompanied the disaster. Although she broke no bones, her 40 , love for horses and the desire to learn to ride were 41 . No matter how my wife and I tried, we had no 42 in curing the damage caused that day. But when she was thirteen, a turning point came. One day as I saw Stacy look into the eye of the 43 fellow in the stall(牲口棚), I knew this was going to be the beginning of a 44 relationship.
Fortunately, Stacy’s accident had not weakened her love for 45 in general, and this small opening was all that Twist needed to create an unusual bond(纽带). In the following weeks, Stacy began to express daily 46 in coming to the stall with me. She 47 spent time with him, feeding, brushing and combing him, all the 48 talking to him about her life.
Then one day 49 I was readying one horse for a ride, I noticed the old guy’s 50 expression and desire to be included, too. So I asked Stacy if she wanted to take Twist out for a ride. In 51 , Stacy looked once again into the old man’s eye. That moment, their two spirits 52 and completed the bond that had been forming over a couple of months. Continuing to look deep into his eyes, Stacy didn’t 53 . She only nodded yes. Moments later, I saw them riding 54 together, Stacy winning renewed confidence and desire, and Twist winning his medal of a child’s 55 .

Driving a car is not just handling controls and judging speed and distance. It requires you to predict what other road users will do and get ready to react to something unexpected. When alcohol is consumed, it enters your bloodstream and acts as a depressant (抑制药), damaging eyesight, judgment and co-ordination(协调)，slowing down reaction time and greatly increasing the risk of accidents. Even below the drink driving limit, driving will be affected.
Alcohol may take a few minutes to be absorbed into the bloodstream and start action on the brain. Absorption rate is increased when drinking on an empty stomach or when consuming drinks mixed with fruit juice. To get rid of alcohol from the body is a very slow process and it is not possible to speed it up with any measures like taking a shower or having a cup of tea or coffee.
The present Road Traffic Ordinance states clearly that the limit of alcohol concentration is:
50 milligrams of alcohol per 100ml of blood; or
22 micrograms of alcohol per 100ml of breath; or
67 milligrams of alcohol per 100ml of urine(尿液).
Drivers who cause traffic accidents, or who commit a moving traffic offence or are being suspected of drink driving will be tested.
Any driver found drinking beyond the limit will be charged. The driver declared guilty may be fined a maximum of HK $25,000 and be sentenced to up to 3 years in prison and punished for 10 driving-offence points; or temporarily banned from driving.
The same punishment applies to failing to provide specimens(样本)for breath, blood or urine tests without good excuse.
Drink driving is a criminal offence. Be a responsible driver, think before you drink. For the safety of yourself and other road users, never drive after consuming alcohol.
The first paragraph is mainly about______.
A．the introduction of driving skills B．the damage of drinking to your body C．the effect of drinking on driving D．the process of alcohol being absorbed
A．alcohol B．absorption C．blood D．process
A．Drinking below the drink driving limit has no effect on driving. B．Alcohol is taken in more quickly when drunk with fruit juice. C．Having a cup of tea helps to get rid of alcohol from the body. D．50 milligrams of alcohol per 100ml of breath is below the drink driving limit.
A．should provide specimens for testing B．will be forbidden to drive for 3 years C．will be punished for 10 driving-offence points D．should pay a maximum fine of HK $ 25,000
In a land far away, once upon a time there was great poverty (贫困)， and only the rich could manage without great 36 . Three of those rich men and their servants were 37 together on a road when they came to a very 38 village.
The first could not stand seeing the poverty, 39 he took all the gold and jewels from his wagons (四轮载重马车) and shared 40 out among the villagers. He wished them all the best of luck, and he left.
The second rich man, seeing the 41 situation, stopped for a short time and gave 42 all his food and drink, since he 43 see that money would be of little 44 to them. He made sure that they each 45 their fair share and would have enough food to 46 for some time. Then, he left.
The third rich man, on seeing such poverty, 47 and went straight through the 48 without stopping. The two other rich men saw this from a distance and commented with each other 49 the third rich man lacked sympathy. It was 50 that they themselves had been there to offer help.
However, three days later, they 51 the third rich man, who was coming in the opposite direction. He was 52 travelling quickly, but his wagons, 53 the gold and valuables they had been 54 , were now full of farming tools and bags of 55 . He was rushing back to help them out of poverty.
