A good friend of mine was complaining about her son the other day．“Did you notice,” she started, “how he didn’t wait for me to get my salad before he dove into his?”
True enough, the boy attacked his plate faster than a cat in the wild．Without manners, we’re no more than animals．Actually, that’s not true．I’ve been watching and feeding a group of wild cats, and they show unusual politeness toward each other．Even when food is scarce, they take turns, leaving at least a small part for the next in line．
My mother educated her three children to have good manners all the time．We were made to feel very uncomfortable as if we were sitting on pins and needles until we got used to saying please, thank you, pardon me, and I’m sorry．And I have to say, while it was a painful learning experience, it was one of the most valuable．
I can’t tell you how often I sat with my friends, eating at their dinner tables, and their parents thought highly of my good manners．While it was a little embarrassing, I knew even then that my mother’s teachings were paying off．
Many years later, when I was attending seminars across the country, my manners were quite useful．
While I regret that I haven’t been a perfect example, I’m still working on it．I suppose, in this regard, my mother lives on through me．I didn’t have her beautiful singing voice or her green eyes, but she did make sure I received one of her finest characteristics．
【小题1】What did the writer’s friend most probably complain about?
| A．Her son’s eating too quickly． |
| B．Her son’s not having a healthy diet． |
| C．Her son’s not having good table manners． |
| D．Teenagers’ not having good manners． |
| A．too much | B．not delicious |
| C．not enough | D．quite hot |
| A．was strict about her children’s manners |
| B．never punished her children |
| C．had beautiful blue eyes |
| D．was not good at singing |
| A．Easy and relaxing | B．Painful and valuable |
| C．Easy but useless | D．Too horrible |
| A．is surely liked by everyone around her |
| B．is not satisfied with most people’s manners around her |
| C．thinks she has been a perfect example to the young |
| D．thanks her mother for teaching her the good manners a lot |

Let me take you back a couple of years. Come with me as we relearn a lesson, one that has stuck with me, in my present memory, and 36 me yet. We walked into Elida Road Hardware, an old-fashioned hardware 37___ . No automatic door, not a computer in the building. It was one that I went to fairly often. As we entered the door, two sounds 38 us. The sleigh bells of last year made that sweet, peaceful tinkle as we opened the door. The other sound was the electronic beeper that reminded Andy of our 39 .
“Good afternoon, Ryan,” 40 the cheerful greeting. Andy was a very 41 sort of owner. He was of medium build and height, and the smile on his face welcomed us.

I picked up one and followed him to the 45 .
He figured up the price, doing the math in his head, “ $1.88,with tax comes to $1. 99. ”
“ Put it on my dad’s account. ”
He nodded and smiled, “ Good dad’s account. ” He smiled. “I don’t know what you boys would do 46 dad’s account! ”
He handed me the ticket and as I 47 it, I asked, “You really trust my signature?”
His reply surprised,_ 48 delighted me. “ When I can’t trust Jerry Hoover’s boys, I can trust nobody! ”
We left, and the brain immediately started to forget things, in order of importance. But what Andy said that day rang in my ears. And it rings in my ears today. That’s a tall order to live up to. It’s a high standard of 49 .My father made a fame for that name, and I get to enjoy the benefits. But on account of this, I must maintain that fame. And that’s 50 business.

Recently, one of my best friends, whom I’ve shared just about everything with since the first day of kindergarten, spent the weekend with me．Since I moved to a new town several years ago, we’ve both always looked forward to the few times a year when we can see each other．
Over the weekend, we spent hours and hours, staying up late into the night, talking about the people she was hanging around with．She started telling me stories about her new boyfriend, about how he experimented with drugs and was into other self-destructive behavior．I was blown away! She told me how she had been lying to her parents about where she was going and even stealing out to see this guy because they didn’t want her around him．No matter how hard I tried to tell her that she deserved better, she didn’t believe me．Her self-respect seemed to have disappeared．
