The owner of an Alabama Chinese restaurant named “Good Friend” shot at a customer who complained about a fly in her eggroll Thursday night. The bullet narrowly missed 20-year-old Birmingham resident Jatari Walker who told the Daily News she is scarred by the entire experience.
“I can’t sleep,” she said Saturday afternoon. “And since it happened I’ve had no appetite.”
Walker ordered a combination platter（大淺盤）and eggroll from the Good Friend Chinese and Seafood Restaurant on Dennison Ave. Thursday evening. After paying her $7 bill she went back to her car and discovered a fly inside. “I thought I need to take this back,” she said.
The customer went back and asked for a repayment and said the owner Chun HinChing, 52, was unhappy with her because she announced her discovery in front of other customers. After an argument he repaid the money and Walker — who is now a former frequent customer of the business — turned and walked to the exit.
That’s when Ching drew a handgun and fired a single shot over her head.
“He just shot the gun at me and I ran,” she said, adding she could feel the bullet whiz past her head.
Birmingham Police Department spokesman Lt. Sean Edwards told the News the owner was charged with attempted murder and was transported to Jefferson County Jail on $100,000 bail（保釋金）.
Police believe Ching intended to hit Walker with the bullet and missed, Edwards said. The bullet hit the top of the door frame of the take-out business.
Ching did not tell police why he fired at Walker, Edwards said.
Edwards said he did not recall any previous problems at the business. He said Ching did not say why he had a weapon but added it was not uncommon for stores in that neighborhood.
“No one was injured from the gunshot”, Edwards said.
Calls placed to the restaurant Saturday afternoon were not answered.

BERLIN (Reuters)—Germany’s postal service has announced plans to explore improved service and help protect the environment by getting “fetch friends”—ordinary people traveling across cities—to deliver parcels on their way.
It is hoped that the move, which will be tested in the coming months, might lessen traffic in inner cities and reduce CO2 emissions(排放). This should help DHL, a division of the German postal service, reach its target of improving the company’s carbon efficiency by 30 percent before 2020.
“As the world’s biggest logistics(物流) provider, we recognize a special responsibility to reduce the impact on the environment as much as possible,” said Frank Appel, Chief Executive Officer of Deutsche Post DHL, in a statement referring to a variety of measures being considered.
The “fetch friends” find out online about parcels that need delivering to people who live or work along the way that they are planning to travel through the city. They then select the ones that they want to take.
Codes(編碼) sent to their mobile phones tell the volunteers where to pick the packages up. Parcels can be taken part of the way or passed on to another volunteer but all volunteers need to have the right code on their mobile phone so the track and trace system can be updated.
Logistics companies will be responsible for looking after the operation to make sure that the privacy of post is respected.
It’s hoped that this could be done using mobile phones but DHL says it recognizes that some security issues remain to be worked out.
小題1: According to the passage, the “fetch friend” program ________.
A．has been tested for months
B．a(chǎn)ims to reduce the cost of the service
C．employs environmentalists to help with deliveries
D．encourages ordinary people to help cut the carbon footprint
小題2: Which of the following statements is TRUE of DHL?
A．It belongs to the Germany’s postal service.
B．It has the most up-to-date tracking system in Germany.
C．It has succeeded in improving its carbon efficiency by 30%.
D．It has designed many measures to improve its service speed.
小題3:What may be a problem with the new service according to the article?
A．Volunteers’ not allowing to select parcels.
B．The wrong codes in the mobile phones.
C．The possibility that parcels could be opened on the way.
D．Parcels’ being taken to the destination by a single volunteer.
小題4:What might be the best Title for the best passage?
A．New Challenges for the Postal Service
B．A Greener Way to Deliver Parcels
C．Solutions for Global Warming
D．Statements from DHL

I was now in my twenty third year of residence in this island and was accustomed to the place and to the manner of living. If it had not been the savages（野人）who had come to the place to disturb me, I could have been content to spent the rest of my time there, even to the last moment, till I had laid me down and died, like the old goat in the cave.
I had also arrived to some little recreations and amusements, which made the time pass more pleasantly with me a great deal than it did before．
At first, I had taught my Poll to speak. And he did it so familiarly and talked so clearly and plain that it was very pleasant to me. And he lived with me no less than twenty six years. How long he might live afterwards, I don’t know; though I know they have an idea in Brazil that they live a hundred years. Perhaps poor Poll may be alive there still, calling Poor Robin Crusoe to this day. I wish no other English man had the bad luck to go there and hear him. But if he did, he would certainly believe it was the devil（魔鬼）.
My dog was a very pleasant and loving companion to me, for no less than sixteen years of my time, and then died of mere old age.
As for my cats, they multiplied to that degree that I had to shoot several of them at first to keep them from eating up all I had.
Besides these, I had two more parrots which talked pretty well and would all call Robin Crusoe, but none like my first. Nor indeed did I take the pains with any of them that I had done with him.
I had also several sea-fowls, whose names I don’t know, that I caught upon the shore and cut their wings. And the little stakes which I had planted before my castle wall being now grown up to a good thick bush, these fowls all lived among these low trees and bred there, which was very agreeable to me; so that as I said above, I began to be well content with the life I led if not worried about the threat from the savages.
小題1:What does the passage mainly talk about?
A．Robin Crusoe treated animals kindly.
B．Robin Crusoe led a hard life on the island.
C．The animals raised by Robin Crusoe brought him much pleasure.
D．The savages always spoiled Robin Crusoe’s happy life.
小題2:How many parrots did Robin Crusoe mention in this passage?
A．2B．3C．4D．5
小題3:According to the passage, which of the following statements is true?
A．Robin’s dog may be still alive on the island.
B．Robin Crusoe lived in harmony with savages.
C．Robin Crusoe met an English man while on the island.
D．Parrots raised by Robin could talk very well.
小題4:What is the “sea-fowl” mentioned in the last paragraph?
A．A bird living on the coast.
B．A fish living in the sea.
C．A creature without a name
D．An animal feeding on tree leaves.

"I won't be cutting this year," my husband Bob said. "Dan, you and John are old enough to measure things. Do it all by yourselves. Think you boys can handle it?

“We can't make the tree taller." I said. "But we can put it on a higher position"
Dan nodded his head sideways. "We could put it on the coffee table. It just might work! Let's try it!“
When Bob got home and looked at the big tree on top of the coffee table, Dan and John held their breath.

Night after night, she came to tuck me in (給…掖被子), even long after my childhood years. Following her long-standing custom, she’d        and push my long hair out of the way, then kiss  my forehead.
I don’t remember when it first started        me----her hands pushing my hair that way. But it did annoy me,       they felt work-worn and rough against my young skin.        , one night, I shouted at her, “Don’t do that anymore ----your hands are too       !” She didn’t say anything in reply. But never again did my mother close out my day with that        expression of her love.
Time after time, with the passing years, my thoughts        to that night. By then I missed my mother’s         , missed her goodnight kiss on my forehead. Sometimes the incident        very close, sometimes far away. But always it existed in the back of my        .
Well, many years have passed, but mother’s rough hands are still doing things for me and my family. She’s been our doctor,        into a medicine cupboard for the medicine to         us children of our pain. She makes the best food in the world and always keeps our clothes clean.
Now, my own children are grown and gone. Mom no longer has Dad, and on special        , I find myself drawn next door to spend the night with her. So it was late on Thanksgiving Eve, as I slept in the bedroom of my youth, a familiar hand        ran across my face to brush the hair from my forehead. Then a kiss, ever so gently,        my forehead.
In my memory, for the thousandth time, I        the night my young voice        , “Don't’ do that anymore----your hands are too rough!”        Mom’s hand in my hand, I blurted out how sorry I was for that night. I thought she’d remember, as I did. But Mom didn’t know what I was talking about. She had forgotten ---and       ---long ago.
That night, I fell asleep with new appreciation for my gentle mother and her caring hands. And the        that I had carried around for so long was nowhere to be found.

“No, I have my own login details now,” she says．

Surrounded by further scolds, lunch comes to a hurried end． Dick finds himself        with clearing up．       , the running of water and the sound of washing plates are the only sounds in the room．
“      at any time you’re prepared to apologize for being rude,” she says, “you can go and finish watching the football．”
“Are you joking?” he shouts． “No way! Why        I apologize to you?”
He pauses to look into the bottom of a pan, and a smile        across his face． “What I mean is, I’m really very sorry,” he says, dropping the pan into the sink and running from the room． “Bye!”
“You don’t have to worry,” my wife says． “In a       ’s time, you’ll be 18 and I won’t be able to do this to you any more．”
“Really?” he says．
“You’ll be a（n）       ,” she says．
The boy stops to consider the blue print that after a        set seven days from then on, his parents will be        to stop ruining his life． He looks both doubtful and a little alarmed．

Over the last six years I have learned what patience is. Growing up I did not have this virtue（優(yōu)點(diǎn)）and it is a very important virtue to have. Now I can see that if you are patient you will almost always get what you want if you are supposed to have it. I gained patience when I lost my freedom. I knew that I would eventually get it back in time.
I was locked up in prison for a period of six years because at 19 years old I was playing with a handgun and I accidentally shot and killed my friend. The first couple of years was the hardest.I was always stressed out about everything.Time was dragging by because I was always paying attention to it.While I was locked up，Tom who I talked to helped put this virtue in me.He told me that it was possible that he would never make it home but that being patient and believing that one day he would was what had made him feel better.After a while I realized why he said a lot of things to me.Once I stopped paying attention to the days and just kept in mind that I would get freedom，it seemed that my time passed quickly.
Now I am home and can see that patience paid off for me. I now use this virtue in my daily activities. I know that sometimes life gets hard and that it will pay in the end to stay patient and not to get discouraged. So if you are having a hard time in life，be patient and it will eventually work out one way or another.
