A mystery shopper is not a professional spy. Mystery shoppers are the secret eyes of service companies that need reliable judgment of their market competitiveness. However, earning an income as a mystery shopper is a legal job to assess the qualities of the service of a company, and help it grow and succeed. In other words, mystery shopping is about making truthful value judgment of the friendliness of the shopping environment, the helpfulness of the frontline stuff, the abilities of the shopping assistants, etc. You should be able not only to observe all these and make logical conclusions about your overall customer satisfaction, but also to remember details and watch out for particular signs. In the end, you will be asked to write down your impressions, either on paper or on line.
To be a successful mystery shopper, you need to meet some requirements. First you should feed the company that hires you with correct and reliable information about your shopping experience. Besides, you also need basic writing skills. You should write in a simple and understandable way, but still show both your overall impressions and the details you are asked about.
Don’t worry if you are a new mystery shopper—the company that hires you should provide you with instructions how to complete your shopping tasks. If the company does not provide you with prior(預(yù)先) training, you should doubt that it might be a mystery shopping test which you should be careful with. Therefore, you should always get instructions about the mystery shopping rules that you have to follow; about the things you should watch out for; about the way to fill in and present your response, etc.  Becoming an experienced mystery shopper pays well. As you’re likely to get more invitations, earn greater income, and be contracted by more mystery shopping companies.

There were a thousand reasons not to stop.I was running late for a very important...well,whatever it was that I was running late for that day.Surely the Highway Patrol would be along soon,and it's their job to help stranded (擱淺) motorists,isn't it?
That made 1,004 reasons not to stop.And here was 1,005:I was the world's worst auto mechanic.The first time I tried to change my car's oil myself I did fine—until I forgot to put the new oil in.The boys down at the garage had a big laugh over that.
I'm not sure how much it would have helped that lady who was stranded by the side of the freeway if I had pulled over.So I drove on by,just like hundreds of other drivers on the freeway that day.Then suddenly I turned off at the next exit and made my way back to see if I could at least give her a lift or something.But by the time I got back to her,a Hispanic (西班牙的) gentleman had pulled in behind her,and was tinkering (修補(bǔ)) with her car's engine.
“Is there anything I can do to help?” I asked.
“No,thank you,”the lady replied.“This nice man says he can fix it.” After the man repaired it,the woman tried to give him some money,but he declined and waved as she drove off.It wasn't until we started walking toward our cars that I noticed he had five more reasons not to stop than I did;his family was sitting in the station wagon,waiting patiently.“Do you stop and help people like this often?”I asked.
“Somebody has to,”he said.“What's she going to do if nobody helps?”And for him,that was enough.
小題1:By telling the story,the author intends to tell us ________.
A.we must help someone in trouble even if we have every reason not to do so
B.if we don't have the necessary skills or knowledge,we can't help a person much
C.what the person in trouble needs most is kindness rather than practical skills
D.we much thank the person who has helped us when we are in trouble
小題2:What can we learn from the first two paragraphs?
A.The author once helped a person who was in trouble but was laughed at by a
boy.
B.The author just wanted to find an excuse to stop to help the stranded lady.
C.The author doubted whether he had the ability to give the lady some necessary
help.
D.What the author was running late for made him very angry.
小題3:Why did the author make his way back at the next exit?
A.Because he wanted to see if anybody else had helped the lady out.
B.Because he felt guilty about not helping the lady.
C.Because he wanted to help the Hispanic gentleman fix the lady's car.
D.Because he had thought of a way to help the lady.

In 1943, when I was 4, my parents moved from Coeur d'Alene, Idaho, to Fairbanks, Alaska, where adventure was never very far away.
We arrived in the summer, just in time to enjoy the midnight sun. All that sunlight was fantastic for Mom's vegetable garden. Working in the garden at midnight tended to throw her timing off, so she didn't care much about my bedtime.
Dad was a Railway Express agent and Mom was his clerk. That left me in a mess. I usually managed to find some trouble to get into. Once I had a little Are going in the dirt basement of a hotel. I had tried to light a barrel(桶) of paint but couldn't really get a good fire going. The smoke got pretty bad, though, and when 1 made my exit, a crowd and the police were there to greet me. The policemen took my matches and drove me
Mom and Dad were occupied in the garden and Dad told the police to keep me, and they did! I had a tour of the prison before Mom rescued me. 1 hadn't turned 5 yet.
As I entered kindergarten, the serious cold began to set in. Would it surprise you to know that I soon left part of my tongue on a metal handrail at school?
As for Leonhard Seppala, famous as a dog sledder (駕雪橇者), I think I knew him well because I was taken for a ride with his white dog team one Sunday. At the time I didn't realize what a superstar he was, but I do remember the ride well. I was wrapped (包裹) heavily and well sheltered from the freezing and blowing weather.
In 1950, we moved back to Coeur d'Alene, but we got one more Alaskan adventure when Leonhard invited us eight years later by paying a visit to Idaho to attend a gathering of former neighbors of Alaska.
