A

One day while shopping in a small town in southern California, it was my misfortune to be approached by a clerk whose personality conflicted with mine. He seemed most unfriendly and not at all concerned about my intended purchase. I bought nothing, and marched angrily out of the store. My hostility toward that clerk increased with each step.

On the outside, standing by the road, was a dark-skinned young man in his early twenties. His expressive brown eyes met and held mine, and in the next instant a beautiful, dazzling smile covered his face. I gave way immediately. The magnetic power of that smile dissolved all bitterness within me, and I found the muscles in my own face happily responding.

“Beautiful day, isn’t it? ”I remarked in passing. Then, I turned back. “I really owe you a debt of gratitude, ”I said softly. His smile deepened, but he made no attempt to answer. A Mexican woman and two men were standing nearby. The woman stepped forward and eyed me inquiringly. “Sir, but he doesn’t speak English, ”she volunteered. “You want me to tell him something? ”

At that moment I felt transformed. The young man’s smile had made a big person of me.

“Yes, ”my reply was enthusiastic and sincere, “tell him I said ‘Thank you! ’”

“Thank you? ”The woman seemed slightly puzzled. I gave her arm a friendly pat as I turned to leave. “Just tell him that, ”I insisted. “He will understand; I am sure! ”

Oh, what a smile can do! Although I have never seen that young man, I shall never

forget the lesson he taught me that morning. From that day on, I became smile-conscious, and I practice the art diligently, anywhere and everywhere, with everybody.

My first day of high school was like any other first day: registering, finding new classmates, meeting new teachers, and seeking new friends.

During lunch, I ran into my first difficulty of the day. At the dining hall, as the checkout(付款处)lady asked for my money, I realized that I had forgotten my lunch money. When I told her about it, I heard a voice behind me. I turned around and there stood a teacher telling me he would pay for my lunch. He told me his name, Mr Pete Walker, and said, “If you get a chance, you should take my history class. ”I recognized his name, and told him I was in his class later that day. Mr Walker befriended me on the very first day of school at a very crucial time of the day—lunch!

He always told us we should do more than we ever thought he pushes us to do all things better. He coached many sports, and sponsored many after-class activities. If we were interested in something, he would find a way to expose us to it by inviting speakers, taking us on field trips, or obtaining information for us.

Two years later, my junior year in school was clicking along nicely when one day I was riding my motorcycle and I was hit by a car. I spent six days in hospital and was at home in bed for two weeks before returning to school. Mr Walker stopped by the hospital each day with my work from my teachers. Once I was at home, he would bring my work too.

After high school, I attended the United States Army Airborne School in FortFenning, Georgia. I knew my parents would be there the day I graduated, but they brought an unexpected guest. They came across Mr Walker at lunch several days before and told him I was about to graduate. His visit, however, was not a surprise to me. 【文章大意】本文讲述作者如何与一位老师成为好朋友的故事。 5.

A. the lady didn’t want to charge the author for his lunch B. the author knew Mr Walker was right behind him C. Mr Walker didn’t know the author was his student D. the author decided to invite Mr Walker to lunch
