4.Inside the pleasingly fragrant cafe,So All May Eat(SAME) in downtown Denver,the spirit of generosity(慷慨)is instantly noticeable:A donation box stands in place of a cash register.Customers here pay only what they can afford,no questions asked.A risky business plan,perhaps,but SAME Café has done one unchangeable thing in the Mile High City for six years:Open only at midday,the restaurant provides poor local can instead volunteer as waiters and waitresses,and dishwashers,or took after the buildings and equipment for the cafe.
"It's based on trust,and it's working all right",says co-owner Brad Birky,who started the café in 2006.With his wife Libby.Previously volunteering at soup kitchens,the Birkys were dissatisfied with the often unhealthy meals they served there."We wanted to offer quality food in a restaurant where everyone felt comfortable,regardless of their circumstances,"Birky says.SAME's special lunch menu changes daily and most food materials are natural and grown by local farmers.The café now averages 65 to 70 customers (and eight volunteers) a day.And the spirit of generosity behind the project appears to be spreading.In early 2007,one volunteer who had cleared snow for his meals during the long winter said goodbye to the Birkys,"He said he was going to New Orleans to help with the hurricane clear up,"says Birky.

68.What can we learn about the soup kitchens the Birkys prcviously worked for?B
A.They refused to have volunteers.
B.They offered low quality food.
C.They provided customers with a good environment.
D.They closed down because of poor management.
69.According to the passage,which of the following is TRUE?A
A..The customers who cannot pay can word as volunteers in stead.
B.More volunteers will go to new Orleans for the hurricane cleanup.
C.Many new cafes will be opened to offer free lunches in the town.
D.The lunch menu has remained the same since the café was started.
70.The author's attitude towards running such a café isB
A.unfavorable
B.a(chǎn)pproving
C.doubtful
D.cautious.

分析 本文是一篇記敘文,文章講述了丹佛市中心的一家咖啡館慷慨的經(jīng)營理念.捐款箱代替了收銀機,顧客可以隨意捐獻,如對于那些沒有能力支付餐費的人可以代替志愿者做服務(wù)員、洗碗工,或者為咖啡館照看大樓以及設(shè)備.咖啡館的經(jīng)營者本著信任他人的理念傳播這種慷慨的精神.

解答 68.B 細節(jié)理解題.根據(jù)第三段第二句"Previously volunteering at soup kitchens,the  Birkys were dissatisfied with the often unhealthy meals they served there."可知,以前在流動廚房做義工時,Birky一家對他們那里經(jīng)常供應的不健康的食物感到不滿意.故選B.
69.A 細節(jié)理解題.根據(jù)第二段最后一句中的"Those unable to pay for their meals can instead volunteer as waiters and waitresses,and dishwashers,or look after the buildings and equipment for the cafe."可知,那些沒有能力支付餐費的人可以代替志愿者做服務(wù)員、洗碗工,或者為咖啡館照看大樓以及設(shè)備.故選A.
70.B 推理判斷題.根據(jù)最后一段第二句中"And the spirit of generosity behind the project appears to be spreading."作者認為這是慷慨之舉,并且這樣的精神在傳播,可以推測出,作者對經(jīng)營這樣的咖啡館持贊成的態(tài)度.故選B.

點評 本篇是社會文化類閱讀,考查學生對細節(jié)的理解把握和推理判斷能力,做題時一定要找到文章中的原句,和題干進行比較,再做出正確選擇.在做推理判斷題時不要以個人的主觀想象代替文章的事實,要根據(jù)文章事實進行合乎邏輯的推理判斷.

2.My husband and I used to think we had all we had ever wanted.A beautiful house,three healthy children and one more on the way,two cars,a couple of four-wheelers for entertainment-We really had it all and we loved it.Then,the market turned and my husband's job at a construction company was gone.The company was closing down forever.
We both started looking for jobs right away,but there weren't any to be found.With each passing day we were getting increasingly worried and we continued to work together in order to pull our family through. The more we pulled together,the closer we got.I felt feelings of admiration for my husband that I hadn't felt in years.
That's why it was so hard for me to watch him blame himself for our present situation.I continually asked him to stop,but he seemed to want to punish himself for not having a job.
Finally,one afternoon I pulled him aside and said,"We have four healthy children and each other.That's what's important.That makes you a rich man."
"But what if we lose the house?They'll hate me-you'll hate me,"he replied.

I could see his shoulders and neck relaxed.He held me close and we were able to talk and plan and dream together in a way that we hadn't for quite some time.It was a turning point for us as a couple and a family.
We are still struggling for our better life,but I consider us well-off because we have something that money can't buy and no one can take away from us.
