Grand Opening

Bentwood Truck Museum

Saturday, November 8, at 10:00 A. M.

After eighteen months of hard work by more than 100 volunteers, the Bentwood Truck Museum is ready to open. The old factory had been scheduled to be destroyed. When Roger Haygood heard about the plan to tear down the building, he bought it so that he could store his collection of old trucks there. Then he had the idea of turning the building into a truck museum.

During the past year and a half, the old building has been transformed into a treasure chest of memories. Instead of a dark and dull house, the building has become a cheery, bright home for all kinds of trucks from the past. The museum now houses 68 trucks, and we hope to have even more soon. There is a 1959 school bus, a 1942 bakery truck, and a 1937 fire engine. Our oldest vehicle is a 1919 milk truck. Our newest vehicle is a 1966 tow truck.

You can take a ride on a fire truck, a mail truck, or an ice-cream truck. Rides are $ 2.00, but you can get a ticket for a free ride at any grocery store in Bentwood.

Help us celebrate our grand opening by bringing your family and friends! There is something to interest everyone who attends. The Bentwood Truck Museum is a special piece of our history.

To get to Bentwood Truck Museum, take Route 29 (Kingston Highway) to Palmer Street. Go south on Palmer Street for one block and take a left onto Norman Drive. You will see the museum building and the amusement park on your left. Parking is available across the street, on your right.

I never thought I would have a life-changing experience at Wal-Mart.

Although my thoughts were only on speed, the checkout line I was standing in wasn't moving as quickly as I wanted, and I glanced toward the cashier.

There stood a man in his seventies, wearing glasses and a nice smile. I thought, well, he's an old guy!

For the next few minutes I watched him. He greeted every customer before scanning the items. Sure, his words were the usual, “How's it going?” But he did something different—he actually listened to people. Then he would respond to what they had said and engage them in brief conversation.

I thought it was odd. I have grown accustomed to people asking me how I was doing simply out of robotic conversational habit. After a while, you don't give any thought to the question and just mumble something back. I could say, “I just found out I have six months to live,” and someone would reply, “Have a great day!”

But that wasn't the end.

He gave them the change, walked around the counter, and extended his right hand in an act of friendship. He looked at the customers in the eyes. “I sure want to thank you for shopping here today,” he told them. “You have a great day. Bye-bye.”

The looks on the faces of the customers were priceless. There were smiles and some sheepish grins. All had been touched by his simple gesture---and in a place they never expected. They would gather their things and walk out, smiling.

Of course, he did the same to me and I got to know his name, Marty.

Who was that guy? It was as if Sam Walton had come back from the dead and invaded this old guy’s body.

I had never walked away from that shop feeling like that.

1.The checkout line the writer was standing in moved slower than expected because_______ .

A.the cashier couldn’t work as fast as others

B.there were some big purchases

C.the cashier did more than scanning the items

D.the writer was not patient enough

2.According to the writer, when common people ask you “How’s it going?”

A.they don’t really care what you may answer

B.they are just practicing their conversation ability

C.they are inquiring about your private information

D.they don’t expect to hear any negative answers

3.What was most customers’ reaction to Marty’s behaviors?

A.They thought it priceless. B.They were in some way moved.

C.They thought it awful and odd. D.They felt somewhat offended.

4.What can we infer about Sam Walton?

A.He might be Marty’s father or grandfather.

B.He might be friendly and devoted to Wal-Mart.

C.He might have died while working in the market.

D.He might have come back from the dead once before.

5.What does the writer intend to express through the text?

A.Our everyday life is always full of surprises.

B.Most customers enjoy being treated this way.

C.Being different is a good way of doing business.

D.A little positive action can make a big difference.

根據(jù)對話內(nèi)容,從短文后的選項(xiàng)中選出能填入空白處的最佳選項(xiàng)。選項(xiàng)中有兩項(xiàng)為多余選項(xiàng)。

Telling the truth is a good habit. 1. Here is a story of a man who did a lot of bad things, but his promise to tell the truth saved him.

Once a man came to the prophet(預(yù)言家) Muhammad and said,“ I have many bad habits. 2. ” The prophet said, “Give up telling lies first and always speak the truth.” The man promised to do so and went home.

3. Before setting out, he thought for a moment about the promise he made with the prophet. “If tomorrow the prophet asks me where I have been, what shall I say? If I tell the truth, I would be punished for stealing.” So the man decided not to steal that night, and gave up this bad habit.

The next day, he felt like drinking wine. 4. He said to himself, “I cannot tell the prophet that I drank some wine. And if I speak the truth, people will hate me, because a Muslim is not allowed to drink wine.” So he gave up the idea of drinking wine.

In this way, whenever the man thought of doing something bad, he remembered his promise to tell the truth at all time. 5. So if you always speak the truth, you can be a good person.

A. You will make more friends in this way.

B. One by one, he gave up all his bad habits.

C. Which one of them should I give up first?

D. At night he was about to go out to steal.

E. Is there any good way to give up my bad habits?

F. When he was about to do so, he thought of his promise again.

G. If you always speak the truth, you can save yourself from a lot of trouble!
