His social worker assured me that he would be a good, reliable busboy. But I had never had a mentally handicapped employee. He was short, a little fat, with the

24、 smooth facial features and thick-togued speech of Downs Syndrome（唐氏综合症） . I thought most of my customers would be uncomfortable around Stevie, so I closely watched him for the first few weeks. I shouldnt have worried. After the first week, Stevie had my staff wrapped around his stubby little finger

25、, and within a month my regular trucker customers had adopted him as their official truck stop mascot. After that, I really didnt care what the rest of the customers thought of him. He was like a 21-year-old in blue jeans and Nikes, eager to laugh and eager to please, but fierce in his attention to

26、his duties. Every salt and pepper shaker was exactly in its place, not a bread crumb or coffee spill was visible when Stevie got done with the table. Our only problem was persuading him to wait to clean a table until after the customers were finished. Over time, we learned that he lived with his mot

27、her, a widow who was disabled. Money was tight, and what I paid him was probably the difference between them being able to live together and Stevie being sent to a group home. Thats why the restaurant was a gloomy place that morning last August, the first morning in three years that Stevie missed wo

28、rk. He was at the Mayo Clinic in Rochester getting a heart surgery. His social worker said that people with Downs Syndrome often had heart problems at an early age and there was a good chance he would come through the surgery in good shape and be back at work in a few months. A ripple of excitement

29、ran through the staff later that morning when word came that he was out of surgery, in recovery, and doing fine. Frannie, my head waitress, did a little dance when she heard the good news. Belle Ringer, one of our regular trucker customers, stared at her and asked, “Okay, Frannie, what was that all

30、about ” We just got word that Stevie is out of surgery and going to be okay. I was wondering where he was. I had a new joke to tell him. What was the surgery about Frannie quickly told Belle Ringer and the other two drivers sitting at his booth about Stevies surgery, then sighed: Yeah, Im glad he is

31、 going to be OK, she said. But I dont know how he and his Mom are going to handle all the bills. From what I hear, theyre barely getting by as it is. Belle Ringer nodded thoughtfully, and Frannie hurried off to wait on the rest of her tables. After the morning rush, Frannie walked into my office. Sh

32、e had a couple of paper napkins in her hand. Whats up I asked. “I cleared off that table where Belle Ringer and his friends were sitting after they left, and I found this. This was folded and tucked under a coffee cup. She handed the napkin to me, and three $20 bills fell onto my desk when I opened

33、it. On the outside, in big, bold letters, was printed Something For Stevie. That was three months ago. Today is New Years day , the first day Stevie is supposed to be back to work. His placement worker said he had been counting the days until the doctor said he could work, I arranged to have his mot

34、her bring him to work, met them in the parking lot and invited them both to celebrate his day back. I took him and his mother by their arms. “To celebrate you coming back, breakfast for you and your mother is on me.” I led them toward a large corner booth. I could feel and hear truck customers and t

35、he rest of the staff following behind as we marched through the dining room. We stopped in front of the big table. Its surface was covered with coffee cups and dinner plates, all sitting slightly on dozens of folded paper napkins. First thing you have to do, Stevie, is clean up this mess, I said. St

36、evie looked at me, and then pulled out one of the napkins. It had Something for Stevie printed on the outside. As he picked it up, two $10 bills fell onto the table. Stevie stared at the money, then at all the napkins peeking from beneath the tableware, each with his name printed on it. I turned to

37、his mother. “Theres more than $10,000 in cash and checks on that table, all from truckers and trucking companies that heard about your problems. Happy Thanksgiving!” While everybody else was busy shaking hands and hugging each other, Stevie, with a big, big smile on his face, was busy clearing all t

38、he cups and dishes from the table. 【小题 1】 Why did the author have doubts about hiring Stevie A Stevie was not that reliable. B Stevie was mentally disabled C Stevie was too short and fat. D Stevie was bad-tempered 【小题 2】 What made the author not fully satisfied with Stevies work A That he made custo

39、mers uncomfortable. B That he couldnt pay attention to his duties. C That he often spilled cups of coffee.

C His funny speeches and actions. D His kind-hearted behaviour. 答

42、案： 【小题 1】 B 【小题 1】 D 【小题 1】 C 【小题 1】 A 【小题 1】 B Why should mankind explore space Why should money, time and effort be spent exploring and researching something with so few apparent benefits Why should resources be spent on space rather than on conditions and people on Earth These are questions that,

43、 understandably, are very often asked. Perhaps the best answer lies in our genetic makeup(基因构成 ) as human beings. What drove our ancestors to move from the trees into the plains, and on into all possible areas and environments The wider the spread of a species, the better its chance of survival. Per

44、haps the best reason for exploring space is this genetic tendency to expand wherever possible. Nearly every successful civilization has explored, because by doing so, any dangers in surrounding areas can be identified and prepared for. Without knowledge, we may be completely destroyed by the danger.

45、 With knowledge, we can lessen its effects. Exploration also allows minerals and other potential resources to be found. Even if we have no immediate need of them, they will perhaps be useful later. Resources may be more than physical possessions. Knowledge or techniques have been acquired through ex

46、ploration. The techniques may have medical applications which can improve the length or quality of our lives. We have already benefited from other spin-offs including improvements in earthquake prediction, in satellites for weather forecasting and in communications systems. Even non-stick pans and m

47、irrored sunglasses are by-products (副产品 ) of technological developments in the space industry! While many resources are spent on what seems a small return, the exploration of space allows creative, brave and intelligent members of our species to focus on what may serve to save us. While space may ho

48、ld many wonders and explanations of how the universe was formed or how it works, it also holds dangers. The danger exists, but knowledge can help human beings to survive. Without the ability to reach out across space, the chance to save ourselves might not exist. While Earth is the only planet known to support life, surely the adaptive ability of humans would allow us to live on other planets. It is true tha
