experience last weekend showed me this is true. I work part-time in a supermarket across from a building for
the elderly. These old people are our main customers, and it"s not hard to lose patience over their slowness.
But last Sunday, one aged gentleman appeared to teach me a valuable lesson. This untidy man walked up to my
register (收款机) with a box of biscuits. He said he was out of cash (现金), had just moved into his room, and
had nothing in his cupboards. He asked if we could let him have the food on trust. He promised to repay me the next day.
I couldn"t help staring at him. I wondered what kind of person he had been ten or twenty years before, and
what he would be like if luck had gone his way. I had a hurt in my heart for this kind of human soul, all alone
in the world. I told him that I was sorry, but store rules didn"t allow me to do so. I felt stupid and unkind saying this, but I valued my job.
Just then, another man, standing behind the first, spoke up. If anything, he looked more pitiable."Charge it
to me," was all he said.
What I had been feeling was pity. Pity is soft and safe and easy. Compassion, on the other hand, is caring
in action. I thanked the second man but told him that was not allowed either. Then I reached into my pocket
and paid for the biscuits myself. I reached into my pocket because these two men had reached into my heart
and taught me compassion.
B. forgot to take any money with him
C. hoped to have the food first and pay later
D. could not afford anything more expensive
B. poor and lonely
C. friendly and helpful
D. hurt and disappointed
B. he felt no pity for the old gentleman
C. he considered the old man dishonest
D. he expected someone else to pay for the old man
B. Helping others is easier said than done.
C. Experience is better gained through practice.
D. Obeying the rules means more than compassion.

these jobs was as dreadful as my job in an apple plant. The work was hard; the pay was poor; and, most of
all, the working conditions were terrible.
First of all, the job made huge demands on my strength. For ten hours a night, I took boxes that rolled
down a metal track and piled them onto a truck. Each box contained twelve heavy bottles of apple juice. I
once figured out that I was lifting an average of twelve tons of apple juice every night.
I would not have minded the difficulty of the work so much if the pay had not been so poor. I was paid
the lowest wage of that time-two dollars an hour. Because of the low pay, I felt eager to get as much as
possible. I usually worked twelve hours a night but did not take home much more than $ 100 a week.
But even more than the low pay, what made me unhappy was the working conditions. During work I was
limited to two ten-minute breaks and an unpaid half hour for lunch. Most of my time was spent outside loading
trucks with those heavy boxes in near-zero-degree temperatures. The steel floors of the trucks were like ice,
which made my feet feel like stone. And after the production line shut down at night and most people left, I
had to spend two hours alone cleaning the floor.
I stayed on the job for five months, all the while hating the difficulty of the work, the poor money, and the
conditions under which I worked. By the time I left, I was determined never to go back there again.
B. To save for his future.
C. To support his family
D. To gain some experience
B. having limited time for breaks
C. working and studying at the same time
D. getting no pay for lunch time
B. The writer"s eagerness to earn money.
C. The writer"s experience as a full-time worker.
D. The writer"s hard work in an apple plant.
B. Opinion-Discussion-Description
C. Main idea-Comparison-Supporting examples
D. Introduction-Supporting examples-Conclusion
