A few days ago, I bought some ink for my printer at my favorite $1 Supermarket, which sold everything from fresh produce to birthday cards at one dollar. Then I found a better _______ at a computer store. So I went back to the supermarket to _______ it for some other products. With nobody telling me exactly what to do, I put the ink into a plastic bag, tied it up, placed the bag into a push-cart and started shopping.

I was midway through when a clerk suddenly stopped me. "You are not allowed to carry a bag around in this store. Open it and show me the thing!" she yelled coldly.

_______, I opened the bag and showed the ink to her. "I'm returning it. "I said.

"You should have left the bag with the clerk upon entry. Let me see your receipt!" she asked. I did as told, looking around, embarrassed as if everyone was laughing at me. "Perhaps in the future you'll learn how to follow the store rules." she added.

By the time I finished shopping, I was angry. How dare she treat me as a _______? I went looking for her and asked for her _______. She mumbled (嘀咕) something. I asked her again, and this time I heard "Ursula."

"Ursula, what?" I asked. She yelled at me, "Ursula!" and stormed away.

"This woman is about to become fired, "I _______ when I got home. I rang their headquarters (总部). I described my unpleasant experience to the person in charge. She was understanding, "Our employees (雇员) are taught to be _______. Give me your phone number and I will ring you back. "

She did two days later. "I'm sorry," she said, "but there's no Ursula at that supermarket. Can you describe her so that I can find out who she is? I assure you, we do not stand rude behavior, nor do we stand_______to our customers. "

By this time, I had calmed down. I didn't really want the employee to lose her job. So I told her to forget about it.

A few days ago, my pet dog died. But before you feel too sorry for me or my dog, you should know that Matty-we named her after the famous baseball player Christy “Matty”. Mathewson-was about 17 years old. She lived a long, happy life before she got so sick that we had to put her to sleep.

I have to say that when we first saw Matty, I did not want a pet. But Matty turned out（结果是） to be a wonderful dog. Matty was a big part of our family life for years.

That’s a good lesson. Sometimes things don’t turn out the way you thought they would. They turn out better. See if this sounds familiar to you. You join a sports team. After some practice or games, you find you don’t like the team as much as you thought you would. Maybe you don’t like the coach or the other kids. Or perhaps you find out you’re not going to be the next LeBron James or Mia Hamm. You want to give up, but your mum and dad say you have to at least finish the season. You don’t want to, but you stay with the team. And, surprise: Things get better. You make a friend or make a few good plays. Maybe the coach tells you you’re going to be a good player.

Most kids and adults （成年人） are pretty sure they know exactly what they want. For example, I was positive years ago that I didn’t want a dog. But life is full of surprises. We change with time. That’s why it’s important for us to try new foods, new hobbies and new sports.

1.Mia Hamm is probably a（n）________.

A.movie star B.sports star C.animal doctor D.school teacher

2.The underlined word “positive” in the last paragraph means “________” in Chinese.

A.sorry B.lucky C.disappointed D.certain

3.Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?

A.Matty was an important part of the writer’s family.

B.The writer didn’t want Matty when he first saw her.

C.The writer learned a lesson from his pet dog.

D.Most kids know exactly what they are good at.

4.By telling the story of his dog, the writer wants us to________.

A.have a pet B.try new things C.join a sports team D.care our pet

My Grandpa Forgets Who I Am

A few days ago I visited my grandfather in hospital. He has Alzheimer’s—a degenerative (退化的) disease that usually starts slowly and gets worse over time. I thought I was prepared to see him. I knew chances were slim that he’d actually recognize me.

He didn’t. As a matter of fact, he had no idea that he even had grandchildren. But he was excited that somebody came to visit him.　 I tried to explain to him who I was. But after he told me multiple times that he didn’t have grandchildren, I gave up. And my heart broke into a million little pieces.

I was tired of explaining things to him. So I just smiled. He smiled back. It’s a genuine smile. Like a long time ago, when he’d take me by the hand and made this big world feel a little bit less scary for me. Now I have to take his hand.

We sat in silence for a little while, before he told me to call my grandma. This was the first time I had tried so hard to hold back tears. My grandma died four years ago and he didn’t remember. He thought she was stuck on her way to pick him up.

My grandpa used to be a strong, hard-working man. He was the person you turned to when you needed your car fixed, your tires changed or something heavy to be carried. Sadly, that man left this world a long time ago, and left behind a man that is lost and scared.

I want to help him. I want to make him feel better. I want to tell him about his old life, and how great it was. So I sat with him and I held his hand, and every once in a while I told him how good he looked and how much I liked the color of his shirt and how it brought out the blue in his eyes. I told him that my grandma was on her way whenever he asked about her, and I made sure the glass in his hand was always filled with water.　

I can’t take away his pain. I can’t help him remember. I can’t make the disease go away. All I can do is hold on to the memories—hold on for both of us.
