This little story I’m about to tell you happened when I was about 11 years old, and I’II never forget it. I was at my friend Jenny’s __41__ after school one day, and we were doing (or not doing) homework.. __42__ I was there, Jenny’s mom came over to visit. I don’t remember her name __43__ what her face looked like. I just remember her hands, her voice and the __44__ she taught me. I can still see her hand __45__ for mine in our introduction. __46__ were so beautiful, I thought; rich, dark skin __47__ complemented(涂了) by the orange colored polish on her nails. Then I __ 48__ her saying, and not at all in a condescending(居高临下的) __ 49__ .“Oh no, that is NOT how you shake hands. Let me show you _ 50___.” After that, I just remember her voice __ 51__ the importance of a good handshake, conveying（传递） a positive sense of self, looking at _ 52___ person in the eye, that first moment matter…I think in that exchange I first understood__ 53__. I respected her for __ 54__ the time to teach me about one of those subtleties(细微之处) in life. I appreciated the fact __55__ she didn’t look down upon me because I was 11 or because I didn’t know something. And so because of that I felt somewhat respected. I mean the _ 56___ she treated me. It felt good to be __ 57__ like a real person. I also appreciate her idea that _ 58__ someone doesn’t pay attention to something, be patient and point him or her __59__ the right direction. I __60__ her every time I meet someone and shake hands. And I’m so thankful for her little lesson. 小题1: A．office B．house C．family D．room 小题2: A．Although B．As C．During D．If 小题3: A．and B．but C．even D．or 小题4: A．homework B．English C．lesson D．knowledge 小题5: A．reaching down B．reaching up C．reaching out D．reaching far 小题6: A．It B．That C．These D．They 小题7: A．patiently B．beautifully C．strongly D．thickly 小题8: A．listened B．found C．heard D．saw 小题9: A．manner B．means C．method D．voice 小题10: A．that B．it C．how D．what 小题11: A．explains B．explained C．explain D．explaining 小题12: A．the other B．other C．another D．others 小题13: A．politeness B．saying C．friendship D．respect 小题14: A．costing B．spending C．taking D．using 小题15: A．what B．which C．that D．/ 小题16: A．place B．position C．way D．time 小题17: A．talking about B．talked to C．talking to D．talked about 小题18: A．as soon as B．as long as C．once D．if 小题19: A．from B．at C．in D．to 小题20: A．think over B．think of C．think about D．think out
