One day I was waiting in line to check out at Wal-Mart. Like a lot of people who want to get through a checkout line, my thoughts were on speed, nothing more. The line I was standing in wasn’t moving as quickly as I wanted, and I glanced toward the cashier.
There stood a man in his seventies. Of average build, he wore glasses and a nice smile. I thought, “Well, he’s an old guy and it probably takes him a little longer to get the chores done.”
For the next few minutes I watched him. He greeted every customer before he began scanning the items they were purchasing. Sure, his words were the usual, “How’s it going?” But he did something different—he actually listened to people. Then he would respond to what they had said and engage them in brief conversation.
I thought it was strange, but I guess I had grown accustomed to people asking me how I was doing simply out of a robotic conversational habit. After a while, you don’t give any thought to the question and just mumble something back. I could say, “I just found out I have six months to live,’’ and someone would reply, “Have a great day!’’
This old cashier had my attention. He seemed genuine (真誠的)about wanting to know how people were feeling. And after giving them the change, the old cashier looked the customers in the eyes. “I sure want to thank you for shopping here today, ’’he told them. “You will have a great day. Bye-bye.”
The looks on the faces of the customers were priceless. There were smiles and some shy grins (露齒而笑).All had been touched by his simple gesture in a place they never expected.
1.The author glanced at the cashier because of ______ .
A. the look of the old cashier
B. the slow speed of the checkout line
C. the smile on the cashier’s face
D. the long line of customers
2. In the fourth paragraph, the author intends to tell us ______ .
A. people usually have robotic conversations
B. no one cared about his health
C. people are not friendly to each other
D. he was suffering from a serious disease
3.What is special about the old cashier according to the author? He ______ .
A. worked hard at his old age
B. had usual conversations with customers
C. gave customers the right change
D. listened to people attentively
4.How did the customers probably feel after meeting the old cashier?
A. Quite ashamed of themselves.
B. Completely puzzled.
C. Unexpectedly moved.
D. Curious but happy

NASA-s New Horizons probe(宇宙探測器)flew by Pluto(冥王星)this morning, sending back history's first up-close looks at the vast freezing-cold world. Closest approach came at 7:49 a.m. EDT. To celebrate, NASA gave out the latest photo of Pluto. It showed a reddish world with an amazing heart-shaped feature on its surface.
After today's close encounter, all the nine solar system's traditionally recognized planets have now been visited by a spaceship-a huge project begun in 1962 when NASA's Mariner 2 probe flew past Venus, a planet in the solar system. More than l,200 scientists, NASA guests and important persons, including 200 reporters, watched the flyby live at New Horizons' mission control center.
That close encounter has been a long time coming. The$723 million New Horizons mission launched in January 2006 but began taking shape in 1989. "New Horizons is'a capstone mission'," Glen Fountain, mission project manager told Space, com. "It is the first completion of the observations of our solar system. It-s giving us a new idea about how we human beings fit into the universe."
New Horizons "faced a crazy number of challenges," Stern, a driving force behind New Horizons said, "So many people stuck with this for so long. They got knocked down; they stood up. They got knocked down again; they stood up again.”
In a coincidence, today's close approach falls on the 50th anniversary of the first flyby of Mars, another planet, which was completed by NASA-s Mariner 4 spaceship.
There are no longer nine officially recognized planets, of course. The International Astronomical Union regarded Pluto as “a dwarf planet" in 2006 in a decision that remains controversial(有爭議的)today.
1.Which statement is TRUE according to the passage?
A. Ideas still vary in the identity of Pluto.
B. Only scientists could watch the flyby live.
C. Mars is the first planet visited by a spaceship.
D. New Horizons mission aimed to observe the solar system.
2.Glen Fountain may probably agree that _____________________.
A. it is the most difficult to land on Pluto in the solar system
B. New Horizons mission is a long and troublesome project
C. their strong determination leads to the successful flyby
D. people are likely to find new ways to fit into space
3.Which is the best title for the passage?
A.A New Horizons Probe B. NASA's Huge Project
C. Pluto,a Controversial Planet D. A Close Approach to Pluto

If your flight is canceled, then make a reservation(預(yù)訂)on the next flight to your destination. Usually, air-line personnel(職員) will try to book everyone on their next flight. Often they will put you on a competitor's next flight only if you request it.

Susan Williams went to a boarding school. Here is one of the letters she wrote to her parents from the school.
Dear Mom and Dad,
