On a freezing-cold February morning in Indiana, Jhaqueil Reagan,18, left home to walk to a job interview—ten miles away, over snow-covered roads.

Reagan had been looking for work for months. His mother had died two years earlier, and he was the only caretaker of his younger brother, Cole, 16, and sister, Jazzlyn, seven. He was desperate for a regular salary after cutting lawns(草坪) and doing other temporary jobs.

Three hours into his hard trip, Reagan had covered only three miles. He paused outside a Cajun restaurant called Papa Roux to ask for directions from owner Art Bouvier, who was clearing ice and snow from the parking lot. “I told him to get on the bus,” says Bouvier. “He thanked me and went on his way.”

Fifteen minutes later, Bouvier pulled up in his car beside Reagan as he walked along. “You’ve really got to be on the bus,” he told Reagan. “I don’t have money for the bus,” Reagan replied. Bouvier offered him a lift. On the way, he asked the boy about his job search.

“I thought, This is the kind of kid I want working for me,” says Bouvier. He got the teen’s phone number and dropped him off for his interview.

Later that day, Bouvier wrote about Reagan on Facebook. “He doesn’t know it yet, but he starts on Monday,” Bouvier wrote. “It’s been a while since I’ve met someone so young with a work ethic(倫理) like that!” A few hours later, Bouvier called to offer Reagan a job. Shocked, the teen accepted on the spot. A television reporter caught wind of the story and interviewed the pair on camera that night.

Today, Reagan is washing dishes, filling orders, and greeting Papa Roux customers for $8.50 an hour. The publicity(宣傳) has brought in so many new customers that Bouvier plans to open a second restaurant by the end of the year.

1.Why did Jhaqueil Reagan have to find a job ?

A. Because he had to make enough money to support his family.

B. Because his parents had died two years earlier.

C. Because he wanted to change his job.

D. Because he was desperate for a good job.

2.Which of the following can be used to replace the underlined part in the sixth paragraph ?

A. reported           B. delivered              C. heard         D. told

3.Which of the following words best describes Bouvier?

A. honest             B. warm-hearted           C. modest       D. independent

4.What’s the best title of the passage ?

A. A Young Man Who Had an Interview        B. A Young Man Who Found a Job

C. A Boss Who Offered a Job                 D. A Boss Who Took a Chance

How many people have I met who have told me about the book they have been planning to write but have never yet found the time? Far too many.

This is Life, all right, but we do treat it like a rehearsal (排演）and, unhappily, we do miss so many of its best moments.

We take jobs to stay alive and provide homes for our families always making ourselves believe that this style of life is merely a temporary state of affairs along the road to what we really want to do. Then, at 60 or 65, we are suddenly presented with a clock and several grandchildren and we look back and realize that all those years waiting for Real Life to come along were in fact real life.

     In  America they have a saying much laughed at by the English：“Have a nice day” they speak slowly and seriously in their shops, hotels and sandwich bars. I think it is a wonderful phrase, reminding us, in effect, to enjoy the moment: to value this very day.

     How often do we say to ourselves, "I'll take up horse-riding (or golf, or sailing） as soon as I get a higher position," only to do none of those things when I do get the higher position.

       When I first became a reporter I knew a man who gave up a very well paid respectable job at the Daily Telegraph to go and edit a small weekly newspaper. At the time I was astonished by what appeared to me to be his completely abnormal (反常的） mental state. How could anyone turn his back on  Fleet Street in central London for a small local area？I wanted to know.

     Now I am a little older and possibly wiser, I see the sense in it. In Fleet Street the man was under continual pressure. He lived in an unattractive London suburb and he spent much of his life sitting on Southern Region trains.

1.The first paragraph of the passage tells us that  _______ .

A. we always try to find some time to write a book

B. we always make plans but seldom fulfil them

C. we always enjoy many of life's best moments

D. we always do what we really want to do

2.The underlined phrase "turn his back on" (paragraph 6） most probably means      .

A. leave for      B. return to       C. give up     D. rely on

3. The man ( paragraph 6） left his first job partly because he was ______.

A. in an abnormal mental state     B. under too much pressure

C. not well paid                 not respected

4.What is probably the best title for the passage?

A. Provide Homes For Our Family    B. Take Up Horse-riding

C. Value This Very Day            D. Stay Alive
