One cold, rainy evening last October, I was in the hospital collecting medical records. A 43-year-old       , whom I will call Ms A, was lying in bed. There were no relatives or friends with her.      the bed beside her was empty.
After I finished my work, I was about to leave when Ms A spoke in her       voice . “I haven’t seen you here before, doctor. Are you      ?” Not really. It’s just that I don’t come here every day,” I replied. I was       someone in her condition would want to talk.
Ms A started talking about       . She told me that she had three children in primary school, who were       a neighbor. “ My husband      a year ago and I’m the only breadwinner of my family. We are not rich and my       as a cleaner is exactly enough for me and my kids.”
I just sat quietly while she talked. She       her difficulties and sufferings, and her struggles to earn money. She also expressed her fear about what would       her children if something bad happened to her.

A jobless man wanted very much to have the position of “office boy” at Microsoft. The HR manager interviewed him and then watched him cleaning the floor as a test. “You have passed the test,” he said. “Give me your e-mail address and I’ll send you the form to fill in and the date when you may start.” The man replied, “But I don’t have a computer, neither an e-mail.” “I’m sorry,” said the HR manager. “If you don’t have an e-mail, that means you are not living. And anyone who isn’t living cannot have the job.”
The man left with no hope at all. He didn’t know what to do with only $10 in his pocket. He thought and thought. Then he went to the supermarket and bought 10 kilos of tomatoes. He sold the tomatoes from door to door. In less than two hours, he had 20 dollars. He repeated the operation three times, and started to go early every day, and returned home late. Shortly, he bought a cart , then a truck, then he had his own fleet of delivery vehicles. Five years later, the man was one of the biggest food retailers (零售商)  in the US.
One day, one of his friends asked him for his e-mail. He said, “I haven’t got one.” His friend couldn’t believe his ears. “Can you imagine what you could have been if you had an e-mail?” The man thought for a while and replied, “Yes, I’d be an office boy at Microsoft!”
What did the man do for the test?

The man didn’t get the job because he ________.

The man ________ after he left Microsoft.

Why could the man become one of the biggest food retailers in the US?

What does the story want to tell us?

Being able to multitask—doing several things at the same time-is considered a welcome skill by most people. But if we consider the situation of the young people aged from eight to eighteen, we should think again.
What we often see nowadays is that young people juggle a larger number of electronic devices as they study. While working, they also surf on the Internet, send out emails, answer the telephone and listen to music on their iPods. In a sense, they are spending a large amount of time in fruitless efforts as they multitask.
Multitasking is even changing the relationship between family members. As young people give so much attention to their own worlds, they seem to have no time to spend with the other people around them. They can no longer greet family members when they enter the house, nor can they eat at the family table.
Multitasking also has an effect on young people’s performance at university and in the workplace. When they were asked about their opinions of the effects of modern gadgets (器具) on their performance of tasks, many young people gave a positive response. However, the response from the worlds of education and business was not quite as positive. Educators feel that multitasking by children has a serious effect on later development of study skills. They believe that many college students now need help to improve their study skills. Similarly, employers (雇主) feel that young people entering the job market need to be taught all over again, as modern gadgets have made it unnecessary for them to learn special skills to do their work.
What does the underlined word “juggle” most probably mean?

A man stopped his car at the door of a flower shop. He planned to order flowers and asked the shopkeeper to deliver (递送) them to his mother, who was far away in the man’s hometown.
The man saw a little girl crying on the road when he was about to enter the shop. The man asked her: “Why are you crying?”
“I want to buy a rose for my mother, but I haven’t got enough money,” said the girl.
The man took the girl’s hand and entered the flower shop. He first ordered the bouquet (花束) for his mother and bought a rose for the girl.
Walking out of the shop, the man asked the girl if she would like a ride home.
“Will you really drive me home?” she asked.
“Of course,” the man replied.
“Then drive me to my mother. But the place where my mother lives is very far.”
The man drove along the mountain road and finally came to the cemetery (墓地).
The little girl put the flower onto a new grave. In order to present a rose to her mother who had passed away a month before, she had gone on a very long journey.
The man drove the girl to her home and then returned to the flower shop. He cancelled the bouquet and bought a big bunch of fresh flowers instead. He drove directly to his mother’s home, a five-hour drive from where he was. He would present the flowers to his mother in person.
Whom did the man go to a flower shop to order flowers for?

Why was the little girl crying?

What changed the man’s mind?
