20．Jerry was a unique manager because he had several waiters who had followed him around from restaurant to restaurant．The reason the waiters followed Jerry was because of his attitude．He was a natural motivator．If an employee was having a bad day，Jerry was there telling the employee how to look on the positive side of the situation．
Seeing this style really made me curious，so one day I went up to Jerry and asked him，"I don't get it!You can't be a positive person all of the time．How do you do it？"Jerry replied，"Each morning I wake up and say to myself，‘Jerry，you have two choices today．You can choose to be in a good mood or you can choose to be in a bad mood．'I choose to be in a good mood．Each time something bad happens，I can choose to be a victim or I can choose to learn from it．I choose to learn from it．Every time someone comes to me complaining，I can choose to accept their complaining or I can point out the positive side of life．I choose the positive side of life．The bottom line：It's your choice how you live life．"I reflected on what Jerry said．Later，I left the restaurant industry to start my own business．We lost touch，but I often thought about him when I made a choice about life．
Several years later，I heard that Jerry did something you are never supposed to do in a restaurant business：he left the back door open one morning and was held up at gun point by three armed robbers．While trying to open the safe，he forgot the password，nervous．The robbers panicked and shot him．Luckily，Jerry was found relatively quickly and rushed to the local hospital．After 18 hours of surgery and weeks of intensive care，Jerry was released from the hospital with fragments（碎片） of the bullets still in his body．
I saw Jerry about six months after the accident．When I asked him how he was，he replied，"The first thing that went through my mind was that I should have locked the back door，"Jerry replied．"Then，as I lay on the floor，I remembered that I had two choices：I could choose to live，or I could choose to die．I chose to live．""Weren't you scared？Did you lose consciousness？"I asked．Jerry continued，"The doctors and nurses were great．They kept telling me I was going to be fine．But when they wheeled me into the emergency room and I saw the expressions on the faces of the doctors and nurses，I got really scared．I knew I needed to take action．"
"What did you do？"I asked．"Well，there was a big，strong nurse shouting questions at me，"said Jerry．"She asked if I was allergic （過(guò)敏的）to anything．"Yes，"I replied．The doctors and nurses stopped working as they waited for my reply．I took a deep breath and yelled，"Bullets!"Over their laughter，I told them．"I am choosing to live．Operate on me as if I am alive，not dead．"
Jerry lived thanks to the skill of his doctors，but also because of his amazing attitude．I learned from him that every day we have the choice to live fully．

"Can't do what？"I asked while preparing supper．
"All these!"he waved his hands up and down．"There's no way I can do everything my teachers are asking me to do．"
I stopped what I was doing and turned to face him．I had never seen him so upset．He was my jovial son．He made good grades in school and nothing ever seemed to bother him．As I studied his face，I could see his eyes filled with tears．
Walking over to the kitchen table，I sat down and asked him to join me．
"Show me what you have to do．"
Bret sat down in a chair and dropped the papers in front of him．
"Mr．Jones，my chemistry teacher，wants me to make a project for the Science Fair．"
"Okay，And what else？"

So，one by one，we listed each item．Then we put the due date next to the item．Next we separated the items into parts．For instance，the chemistry project needed supplies．So we put a deadline on getting the supplies．He had a friend who could help him with Spanish，so we had to put that time in．During the process，I saw my son visibly relax．When we finished with the list，I asked，"Do you think you can do this now？"
He smiled and I saw his confidence return．"Sure!Thanks，Mom!"
There is a saying that asks，"How do you eat an elephant？"The answer is，"One bite at a time．"

12．I needed to buy a digital camera，one that was simply good at taking good snaps（快照），maybe sometimes for magazines．Being the careful type，I fancied a reliable brand（品牌）．So I went on the net，spent 15 minutes reading product reviews on good websites，wrote down the names of three top recommendations（推薦） and headed for my nearest big friendly camera store．There in the cupboard was one of the cameras on my list．And it was on special offer．Oh joy．I pointed at it and asked an assistant，"Can I have one of those？"He looked upset．"Do you want to try it first？"he said．It didn't quite sound like a question．"Do I need to？"I replied，"there's anything wrong with it？"This made him look a bit angry and I started to feel bad．‘‘No，no．But you should try it，''he said encouragingly，"compare it with the others．"
    I looked across at the others：shelves of similar cameras placed along the wall，offering all kinds of just a little different prices and discounts（折扣），with each company selling a type of models based around the same basic box．With so many models to choose from，it seemed that I would have to spend hours weighing X against Y，always trying to take Z and possibly H into consideration at the same time．But when I had finished，I would still have only the same two certainties that I had entered the store with：first，soon after I carried my new camera out of the shop，it would be worth half what I paid for it； and second，my wonderful camera would very quickly be replaced by a new model．
    But something in the human soul says in a low voice that you can beat these traps by making the right choice，the clever choice，the wise choice．In the end，I agreed to try the model I had chosen．The assistant seemed a sincere man．So I let him take out my chosen camera from the cupboard，show how it took excellent pictures of my fellow shoppers…and when he started to introduce the special characters，I stopped him and asked whether I needed to buy a carry-case and a memory card as well．
    Why do we think that new choices still offer us anything new？Perhaps it is because they offer an opportunity to avoid facing the fact that our real choices in this culture are far more limited than we would like to imagine．
67．The shop assistant insisted that the writer shouldB．
A．try the camera to see if there was anything wrong with it
B．compare the camera he had chosen with the others
C．get more information about different companies
D．trust him and stop asking questions
68．What does the writer mean by"it would be worth half what I paid for it"（Paragraph2）？C
A．He should get a 50%discount．
B．The price of the camera was unreasonably high．
C．The quality of the camera was not good．
D．The camera would soon fall in value．
69．The writer decided to try the model he had chosen because heC．
A．knew very little about it
B．didn't trust the shop assistant
C．wanted to make sure the one he chose would be the best
D．had a special interest in taking pictures of his fellow shoppers
70．It can be inferred from the passage that in the writer's opinionD．
A．people waste too much money on cameras
B．cameras have become an important part of our daily life
C．we don't actually need so many choices when buying a product
D．famous companies care more about money than quality．

9．A young and handsome executive was driving down a neighborhood street．He thought he saw something．Then he slowed down，watching out for children rushing out from between parked cars．As his car passed，no kids appeared．Instead，a brick smashed into his door!He slammed on the brakes （make his car stop）．The angry driver then jumped out of his car，caught the nearest child and pushed him up against a parked car，shouting，"Who are you and what was that all about？"
The little boy was full of apology，"Please，Mister…Please，I'm sorry…I didn't know what else I could do．I threw the brick because no one else would stop．"

Shaken up for words，the man simply watched the little boy push his wheelchair-bound brother down the sidewalk toward their home．
