题型：不详难度：来源：

A gentleman put an advertisement in a newspaper for a boy to work in his office. Out of the nearly fifty men who come to apply, the man selected one and dismissed the others.
“I should like to know,” said a friend, “the reason you preferred that boy, who brought not a single letter—not a recommendation (介绍信)，”
“You are wrong” said the gentleman. He had a great man. He wiped his feet at the door and closed the door after him, indicating that he was careful. He gave his seat immediately to that old man, showing that he was kind and thoughtful. He took off his cap when he came in and answered my questions, showing that he was polite and gentlemanly.
“ All the rest stepped over the book which I had purposely put on the floor.” He picked it up and placed it on the table; and he waited quietly for his turn instead of pushing and crowding.
When I asked to him, I noticed his tidy clothing, his neatly brushed hair, and his clean fingernails. “ Can’t you see that these things are excellent recommendations? I consider them more significant than letters.”

So let’s pack up some and see what it would cost to go out and have a little fun.

Are you afraid of moving up to senior high school? It is a completely new experience, but you shouldn’t worry. We’ve put together a guide to help you.

You are not alone

   Remember that everybody else in your grade is in the same boat. You may not notice it, but they are just as nervous as you are.

   Moving up to senior high school is a chance, not a problem. Things are different, and all you need to do is be polite and learn the new rules.

The teachers will help

   If you don’t know what to do or are worried about something, then ask for help. Teachers are probably the best people to turn to because they have experience in helping new students.

Everything changes

   There are lots of differences between junior high school and senior high school. You will have your lessons with different teachers in different rooms. You will have homework for different subjects on different days, so make sure you get organized.

Other points
   If you’ve got an elder brother or sister at senior high school, then ask them for advice.
   Be yourself! It sounds simple, but people will respond much better to you if you act naturally.
   Going to bed early makes a difference. You’ll also find it easier to get up in the morning!
