After the First World War, a small group of soldiers left the army and returned to their hometown in France. Most of them lived well, but one of them was poor. His name was Lebeau.

Once a year they had supper together in Barton's house. Barton was a rich man.

One evening Barton showed his friends a large gold coin at the supper table. The coin was passed around and praised by everyone there. At the same time they were talking and laughing. They soon forgot the coin. After supper, Barton asked for the coin, but nobody could tell where it was. It was lost.

One of the men said that everyone must be searched. One by one they turned out their pockets. Only Lebeau refused. “I didn't steal the coin,” he said, “and I will not be searched.” After that, people turned their heads away from Lebeau when they met him. He grew poorer and poorer. Soon his wife died.

A few years later, Barton had his house repaired. The lost coin was found under the floor. Barton felt sorry and went to Lebeau to apologize. “But” he asked, “You know the coin was not in your pocket,” he said to Lebeau, “but why did you refuse to be searched?”

“Because I was a thief,” Lebeau answered. “My pockets were full of food at that time. I had taken some food from the table to carry home to my wife and hungry children.”

根據(jù)短文內(nèi)容判斷正、誤。

(注意：考生將答題卡相應(yīng)位置涂黑。正確的涂“A”，錯(cuò)誤的涂“B”)

On her second or third day behind the counter, Cynthia received a phone call from her nine-year-old son, Jessie. He needed a baseball glove for Little League. She explained that as a single mother, money was very tight, and her first check would have to go for paying bills. Perhaps she could buy his baseball glove with her second or third check. When Cynthia arrived for work the next morning, Patricia, the store manager, asked her to come to the small room in the back of the store that served as an office. Cynthia wondered if she had done something wrong or left some part of her job incomplete from the day before. She was concerned and confused.

Patricia handed her a box. “I overheard（無(wú)意中聽(tīng)到）you talking to your son yesterday,” she said, “and I know that it is hard to explain things to kids. This is a baseball glove for Jessie because he may not understand how important he is, even though you have to pay bills before you can buy gloves. You know we can’t pay good people like you as much as we would like to, but we do care, and I want you to know you are important to us.”

The selflessness（無(wú)私）and love of this convenience store manager proves that people remember more how much an employer cares than how much the employer pays.

1.Jessie needed a baseball glove for Little League.

2.Patricia, the store manager and her employer began to talk in the small room in the back of the store that served as an office.

3.Jessie was going to take part in Little League，but his father didn’t have enough money to buy things like a baseball glove.

4.When Cynthia was asked to go to the office, she was happy and moved.

5.From the story we know sometimes people cares one another more important than many things even wealth.
