    (2007年普通高等学校夏季招生考试英语（全国Ⅱ）)C
    Odland remembers like it was yesterday working in an expensive French restaurant in Denver. The ice cream he was serving fell onto the white dress of a rich and important woman.
    Thirty years have passed, but Odland can’t get the memory out of his mind, nor the woman’s kind reaction (反应) . She was shocked, regained calmness and, in a kind voice, told the young Odland. “It’s OK. It wasn’t your fault.” When she left the restaurant, she also left the future Fortune 500 CEO (总裁) with a life lesson: You can tell a lot about a person by the way he or she treats the waiter.
    Odland isn’t the only CEO to have made this discovery. Rather, it seems to be one of those few laws of the land that every CEO learns on the way up. It’s hard to get a dozen CEO’s to agree about anything, but most agree with the Waiter Rule. They say how others treat the CEO says nothing. But how others treat the waiter is like a window into the soul.
    Watch out for anyone who pulls out the power card to say something like, “I could but this place and fire you,” or“I know the owner and I could have you fired.” Those who say such things have shown more about their character(人品) than about their wealth and Power.
    The CEO who came up with it, or at least first wrote it down, is Raytheon CEO Bill Swanson. He wrote a best-selling book called, Swanson’s Unwritten Rules of Management.
    “A person who is nice to you but rude to the waiter, or to others, is not a nice person,” Swanson says. “I will never offer a job to the person who is sweet to the boss but turns rode to someone cleaning the tables.”
    49. What happened after Odland dropped the ice cream onto the woman’s dress?
    A. He was fired.                            B. He was blamed.
    C. The woman comforted him.                D. The woman left the restaurant at once.
    50. Odland leaned one of his life lessons from ________.
    A. his experience as a waiter.           B. the advice given by the CEOs
    C. an article in Fortune                    D. an interesting best-selling book
    51. According to the text, most CEOs have the same opinion about __________.
    A. Fortune 500 companies                     B. the Management Rules
    C. Swanson’s book                               D. the Waiter Rule
    52. From the text can learn that __________.
    A. one should be nicer to important people         B. CEOs often show their power before others
    C. one should respect others no matter who they are
    D. CEOs often have meals in expensive restaurants

    Mr. Peter Johnson, aged twenty-three, battled for half an hour to escape from his trapped car yesterday when it landed upside down in three feet of water. Mr. Johnson took the only escape route—through the boot(行李箱).
    Mr. Johnson’s car had finished up in a ditch(沟渠) at Romney Marsin, Kent after skidding on ice and hitting a bank. “Fortunately, the water began to come in only slowly,” Mr. Johnson said. “I couldn’t force the doors because they were jammed against the walls of the ditch and dared not open the windows because I knew water would come flooding in.”
    Mr. Johnson, a sweet salesman of Sitting Home, Kent, first tried to attract the attention of other motorists by sounding the horn and hammering on the roof and boot. Then he began his struggle to escape.
    Later he said, “It was really a half penny that saved my life. It was the only coin I had in my pocket and I used it to unscrew the back seat to get into the boot. I hammered desperately with a hammer trying to make someone hear, but no help came.”
    It took ten minutes to unscrew the seat, and a further five minutes to clear the sweet samples from the boot. Then Mr. Johnson found a wrench and began to work on the boot lock. Fifteen minutes passed by. “It was the only chance I had. Finally it gave, but as soon as I moved the boot lid, the water and mud poured in. I forced the lid down into the mud and scrambled clear as the car filled up.”
    His hands and arms cut and bruised(擦伤), Mr. Johnson got to Beckett Farm nearby, where he was looked after by the farmer’s wife, Mrs. Lucy Bates. Huddled in a blanket, he said, “That thirty minutes seemed like hours.” Only the tips of the car wheels were visible, police said last night. The vehicle had sunk into two feet of mud at the bottom of the ditch.
    小题1:What is the best title for this newspaper article?
    A．The Story of Mr. Johnson, A Sweet Salesman
    B．Car Boot Can Serve As The Best Escape Route
    C．Driver Escapes Through Car Boot
    D．The Driver Survived A Terrible Car Accident
    小题2:Which of the following objects is the most important to Mr. Johnson?
    A．The hammer.B．The coin.
    C．The screw. D．The horn.
    小题3:Which statement is true according to the passage?
    A．Mr. Johnson’s car stood on its boot as it fell down.
    B．Mr. Johnson could not escape from the door because it was full of sweet jam.
    C．Mr. Johnson’s car accident was partly due to the slippery road.
    D．Mr. Johnson struggled in the pouring mud as he unscrewed the back seat.
    小题4:“Finally it gave” (Paragraph 5) means that _______. 
    A．Luckily the door was torn away in the end
    B．At last the wrench went broken
    C．The lock came open after all his efforts
    D．The chance was lost at the last minute
    小题5:It may be inferred from the passage that _______. 
    A．the ditch was along a quiet country road
    B．the accident happened on a clear warm day
    C．the police helped Mr. Johnson get out of the ditch
    D．Mr. Johnson had a tender wife and was well attended

    A little old couple walked slowly into McDonald’s one cold winter evening. They looked out of place among the young families and young couples eating there that night.
    Some of the customers looked admiringly at them. You could tell what the admirers were thinking. “ Look, there is a couple who has been through a lot together, probably for 60 years or more !”
    After paying for the meal, the couple took a table near the back wall and started taking food off the tray. There was one hamburger, one order of French fries and one drink. The little old man carefully cut the hamburger in half. He placed one half in front of his wife. Then he carefully counted out the French fries, divided them in two piles and neatly placed one pile in front of his wife. He took a sip of the drink, his wife took a sip and then set the cup down between them.
    As the man began to eat his few bites of hamburger the crowd began to get restless. Again you could tell what they were thinking, “ That poor old couple. All they can afford is one meal for the two Of them.”
    As the man began to eat his French fries one young man stood and came over to the old couple’s table. He politely offered to buy another meal for the old couple to eat. The old man replied that they were just fine. They were used to sharing everything.
    Then the crowd noticed that the little old lady hadn’t eaten a bite. She just sat there watching her husband eat and occasionally taking turns sipping the drink.
    Again the young man came over and begged them to let him buy them something to eat. This time the lady explained that, no, they were used to sharing everything together.

       When Lew Alcindor was 13, and obviously still growing, a group of schools began offering him scholarships（奖学金）. The Alcindors decided to send their only child to Power Memorial Academy, a small school on Manhattan’s West Side.
    At Power. Alcindor came under the control of Coach Jack Donohue, a strict young man who already gained his fame as one of the best coaches in the city. Donohue brought Alcindor along slowly. As a first-year student, the boy was not able to do much but wave his long skinny arms and shoot a basket now and then. But by the second year, when he was 15 years old and nearly 7 feet tall, Alcindor was quick and skillful enough to make the high school All American team and to lead Power to an undefeated season.
    From then on be simply got better. Some rival coaches（对方教练）used to take their teams quickly away from the floor before Power warmed up so that their players would not see him any sooner than they had to. Wearing size 16D shoes and sucking a lollipop（棒棒糖）, Alcindor would loosen up by starting his leaping lay-ups（擦板球）. Then he would casually shoot the ball with either hand, to the delight of the fans.
    When reporters and photographers began to follow Alcindor closely, Donohue protected his boy firmly. He simply ordered Lew to talk to no member of the press, and this suited Lew fine. He was not comfortable talking to grownups, perhaps because he towered over them. Discouraged photographers began following him in secret as though he were an easily-frightened giraffe. “People want you not for yourself,” Donohue warned him, “but because you’re a basketball player. Don’t forget that.”
    57. Many schools offered Alcindor scholarships because_______.
    A. he was young                        B. he was hardworking
    C. he was tall for his age                  D. he was skillful at playing basketball
    58. Which of the following best describes Donohue as a young coach?
    A. serious, popular and slow         B. tall, skillful and successful
    C. kind, powerful and undefeated     D. well-known, strict and experienced
    59. Why did some rival coaches take their teams away from the floor before Power warmed up?
    A. Their teams refused to play Power.        B. Their teams feared to see Alcindor.
    C. Their teams would lose courage.      D. Their teams would lose interest.
    60. What does the last paragraph mainly discuss?
    A. How Donohue protected Alcindor from the press.
    B. How Alcindor disliked meeting reporters.      
    C. Why the press followed Alcindor closely.              D. Why the public wanted Alcindor badly.
