Passage 1
I loved working with my dad, but I hated a summer job he gave me. He owned a small
41
in Bank Street. In his shop, the most recently
42
person got the worst job, and the boss’ son was also
43
.
I didn’t want to spend hours
44
the frost on the ceiling of the walk-in freezer, and it was the Saturday afternoon’s job that I hated most. We received fresh
45
every day. Chicken sat in wooden boxes and was
46
with crushed ice. During the week, the ice and the blood of the chicken slowly leaked into the container
47
the chicken, creating its bloody smell.
There was only one
48
to get rid of the blood and wash the container: hold my
49
and carefully slide the container from under the chicken, as I tried not to
50
the contents over my clothes, and then
51
into the drain(下水道).
Soon, students who have cut lawns, painted houses, worked in offices,
52
maybe even worked in the butcher’s will
53
to school. Some will have great memories
54
others will come back with
55
ones.
Looking back, I think my father could have
56
me from my weekly hell. However, my dad, who’d dropped out of school to help support his family after his father died, was a teacher for me
57
. He knew treating me
58
from his other employees would be an unfair thing. Most importantly, he taught me to
59
those who do the hard and
60
tasks in life.
For the next six summers, I returned not as the boss’ son, but as one of other guys, and I cleaned the dirty container every Saturday afternoon.

Will you only respond to the momentary crisis or will you be more concerned about the 60 of what kind of person you are becoming? Who decides how you will behave when the pressure is on?

Passage 4Starbucks is the biggest coffee shop network in the world with more than 15,000 shops in 44 countries. It was first
41
in Seattle, Washington in 1971 by three people with just a
42
shop that sold selected coffee beans. People
43
the selected coffee beans and ground (碾碎) them in the shop or carried them home. The
44
of Starbucks at the time was to sell quality coffee beans so that consumers could
45
coffee in their own houses.
Just after 1987 Starbucks began to show significant
46
after their brand was bought by a former employee of Starbucks, Howard Schultz. He joined Starbucks in 1982 and his
47
to Milan changed his ideas about the coffee shop. Italy, a country that was famous for their coffee consuming habits, inspired Howard to bring these Italian-style coffee shops to the American
48
and the world. However, the idea was
49
by the owner of Starbucks because he believed the business of Starbucks should
50
the same. That is, they should
51
selected coffee beans, and not an Italian-style coffee shop.
After
52
Starbucks in 1985, Howard Schultz set up his own shop
53
the name of ⅡGiomale. This name
54
was not too good. After he bought the Starbucks brand he quickly changed the name of the shop to Starbucks, and the business
55
to be a great success.
People liked to come to Starbucks because the
56
was different and helped to release tiredness after working all
57
long. A shift in American culture was also
58
towards the Starbucks’ success, because before American people liked to go to a
59
and drink alcohol. It was clear that drinking coffee was much healthier than drinking alcohol. Starbucks’ success
60
to many countries, and the culture of drinking coffee has become popular all over the world.
